Been playing loads of electric guitar lately after the demise of folkband. Decided to spend some time working on my bending and vibrato which is an area i've always neglected. Am doing this by picking some dadrock classics (Zep and AC/DC mainly) and trying to nail them for accuracy of bend and consistent vibrato. Am definitely improving.
Also decided to tidy up my guitar a bit. Love my Tele but the thick poly lacquer always bugged me and recently it's started to crack on the back of the neck in an unpleasant way. Cleaned all the gunk off the fretboard and sanded it and the back of the back to bare wood. Tweaked the action, raised the pickups and re-strung with regular slinkys. Feels like a new guitar.
Haha!
