Yamaha Silent Guitar (Acoustic)

By Fred, on February 19th, 2010

I first encoumtered the Yamaha Silent Guitar at Music Connection in JHB in October 2005. My first impression was that of shock. A complete “What the …..” moment.
What I didn’t really “get” about the guitar was that it is in fact an instrument. Not merely an ornamental space age design coat hanger type thing. [...]

True Temperament Necks – Cool Website

By Fred, on January 22nd, 2010

For all Guitar Enthusiasts
True Temperament Necks
I did not really know what to make out of this one when I saw it. But, if Steve Vai is playing a neck designed like this…it should be credible. Right?
Most Guitarists know that a guitar is a tonally imperfectly designed instrument. Haven’t we all bitched and moaned about the [...]

Namibia Holiday Review

By Fred, on January 21st, 2010

Not having a grand budget, economic recession and all…We decided that this year’s holiday destination would be closer to home vs. a trip to Europe. So, my other half and I opted to go to Namibia. In the initial study, the pictures of scenery were appealing and it seemed like a different thing to do. [...]

A tribute to a great Russian aircraft…

By Fred, on January 18th, 2010

During my first of many trips into the DRC, I realized that depending on the type of work you do, one is exposed to sometimes harrowing flights in a variety of different aircraft. But nothing grabbed my fancy more than flying in the Antonov An 2.
Designed in the 1940’s, the An 2 is a relatively [...]

Yuriy Shishkov-Russian Master Guitar Builder at Fender

By Fred, on January 18th, 2010

I recently had the privilege of playing a Yuriy Shishkov Custom Stratocaster.
Not only was it the most beautiful yet MEAN SOUNDING Stratocaster I have ever played…its builder has an interesting history.
As one could probably imagine, electric guitars were a rarity in the former Soviet Union. This led Yuriy to build guitars for friends and colleagues [...]

After seeing all the advertisement hype about this movie, Sian (my other half) and I were quite sceptical about watching it. I’m sure that some of you would agree that most movies relying so heavily on CG to make a profit, do so at the expense of good acting or for that matter a story [...]
