    Tommy Emmanuel - see this man before you leave the planet!

    I've seen every Tommy concert in Canberra there's been. I still have (not really use them) but the first tapes he put out years ago, some of which he played everything on the recordings, drums, bass guitar etc - it's awesome to see how 'Initiation' has evolved over the years.... Can't wait for...

    What's your SSS? (Surface Scratch Solution)

    Sorry mate didn't mean to offend, I was only taking the p1ss and knew what you meant it was just the obvious joke.....having ridden for 30+years it's just an ongoing joke about Harleys (and even Ducati's in a differnt sense) but essentially we all ride for a similar reason so I have no problems...

    Ten biggest reasons I hate gigging

    LOL'd Elsewhere here I've stated I've just started busking. To my absolute surprise I made as much as I did as I did with my share of the $ from the bands I used to play in, which were very amateur bands BTW. So I made more coin. TICK I also bought a PA. 'Lugging' it around is probably a bit...

    "He died doing what he loved" Is it always ok?

    Not wishing to die at all, but I'd rather die doing something I love VS rotting in a hospital bed. For me thats motorcyle racing/stunt riding so it's reasonably high risk. I say reasonably because I've been riding for 30years, so what is a risk for me at my level is more of a risk to someone...

    The proper use of the effect loop with pedals?

    I guess it may depend on how you're using your gear and why....? Perhaps? Maybe? For me, I rarely use the Marshall distortion - but I'm only running an MGHDFX100 *shock horror!*, in fact I don't often use 'dirty' fx. When I do I use one of the multi Fx items on my ME50 )which I'll leave comment...

    Article: Giveaway - win a Pedal Juice rechargeable battery!

    Thanks Robert, how timely I only wish you had more to give away these are great little units....! :) I am trying to find a battery source for my Boss ME50+ RC50 loop station for my recent busking efforts where AC sockets are rare (thankfully the Roland/Boss PA runs of it's own battery pack!)...

    Busking surprise

    hahahaha touche! Let me ask you this..... Would a teenager take the time to write such an involved OP? Would a teenager use my extremely eloquent (LOL) written skills? If you wanted to play detective you could've checked out my other posts to see the gear I'm talking about does in fact...

    Busking surprise

    Did some more busking on Friday night, it went so well and I had such a good time I had to go back on the Sunday too! New Roland BA330 Mini/Portable PA is not bad, much improved drums/bass VS my marshall but guitar tone is lost a little :o( At some point (like when I win the lotto) I would...
