epic, 8

 

 

 

 

Hey! My pinky is usable again, aint that handy

 

 

 

nice, hard one 7

 

 

 

 

another try

 

 

 

better

 

 

 

oh those bad chords

 

 

 

 

so cool

 

 

 

a bit better

 

let´s go no lead, hah

 

 

ah, for that laid back song my playing is way too stressed

 

 

 

nice adv, 7

have been carving and sanding yd for hours, cannot really feel my fingers, pardon my uncompetotionness now, but i´ll be back

 

 

 

perfect int song also, 5 - you score 99 here, you really deserve a lift

 

pardon my score

 

perfect beginner song, 3

 

 

 

What a week... That ´tallica Album alone deserves multiple plays in any path, phhh ... but it´s only week 1 of 4 there, so we should manage that.
 

And, that promising GD track comes in multitrack version, yay - i encourage everyone to dl those and experience how scary it feels all alone out there.

Rock, Rod. And have a helluva week.

I get what you mean but honestly last week's advanced on lead was definetly too hard for me it would take alot of time on RR to get it right and I still have my songs that i want to work on in the time i get to play...

 

bump me up to advanced on rhythm even tho i really dont like the grateful dead song... And if I feel INT on lead isnt too challenging this week I'll move up mid week

Thanks for the encouragement to challenge myself  the championship IS good for you 

 

 

 

Yes it is

Whoo, that´s the spirit! Welcome to Rhy Adv. Tell us whenever you wanna level in Lead. If you are done with your song you still can compete in any higher class without upleveling, but you know that.

Rock!

man its hard to play guitar after playing bass, btw do you guys frown upon playing fingerpick bass songs with a pick?

 

 

 

For me bass is fingerpicking, i never use a pick. I encourage evryone to try that

You can use a pick whenever you want of course.

preparations are done
!?

let´s try that

that´s a great tool, must protect my eyes!!!
I suppose i can use the routed walls now as margins... that will be even more precise as i will have the flat of the bodyfront

looks ok, let´s test

ultratight - as expected and as wanted

measure, measure, then go deeper

nearly there i think

cornerwork

a lil more cornerwork needed

that scrapers are soo cool tools - no sawdust, perfect planing, you are able to take away a lot of material in every pass and still work ultraprecise... and they are very cheap (like 6€)

hah

that! is a joint

unbelievable

i´m holding something

that undeniably looks a bit like a e-guitar

more than happy

 

Ok... but what i can do all night is work on my fretboad, yay....

More sanding... so ... i like 12" radius... so.....going compound 10-14 will be the perfect and hard way... let´s bring that to sleep

thats 2 yes

I love the round edges of my strat ultra fretboard - gotta go for that, starting with 40gr on my now handle-modified piece of stone

going in the right direction

continuing with my version of a leveling beam, 120gr

Pah.... what a picture, i think í´ll upload that on my photo frame

coffee and i was thinking glueing the connection between neck and fb from the side will fill possible tiny leftout spaces, but i don´t really know if it makes the slightest visible difference, however it will take 10 mins and can in no way harm.... let´s go

 

Neck Pocket is next.... no idea if there is something that is really to be done or to avoid here...
I think whats really needed is a good centerline matching neck and body

creating that and checking

looks ok, so marking the outlines with a sharp blade (though it was not really sharp anymore)

i was thinking of creating a template for that routing job, but then decided against, cause it would be only usable on that guitar and a lot work to create... so i was thinking of just creating a temporary wooden wall with masking tape and super glue

well... the walls of my neckend are straight in all directions, but measuring is not 100% ... and how precise is routing a wall? Never done anything like that before... the trussrodchannel with the tiny 6mm routing bit was quite precise...
So.... as that joint is THE thing that gives the instrument to be the stability i decided to make that routing margins really tight, knowing and already being massively annoyed that it will be a tad too tight and will need manual widening until perfect fit.... if that will be better than just going exact sice in first place.... time will tell.

2/3 walls

test ... doesn´t look all too bad

now really in level

Phh... that bit is in another league compared to the trussrod-one

If i understand right the circle shall hit the walls and thus lead to a wall like cut

Deciding to do some pre-work with a drill, way less scary

Ok.... routing is way too loud for midnight ..... rescheduling

 

Thinking and measuring neck-break angle...
I thought that would best be done by try stringing

and yes.. my breakangle with bridge stringheight adjustable from 9-12mm, the 6.5-7.8mm fretboard, 1.4-1.6mm frets and low action gives me a breakangle of 0.00°

that should be ok, and in case of fire i should still be able to do minimal adjustments on either side... on the nut-side obviously and on the bridge side, lower is planing, higher is less planing or in the worst case put a piece of wood under the bridge, n.p.

my newest tool - how could i live without???? sooo handy
