Breaking Guitar Strings #shorts
Test your guitar strings right after changing them.
I always push the new strings to their limit by bending them as much as I can. This not only helps them settle in faster but also serves as a test. If one of the strings is defective and is going to break, I'd rather it break right away than later on when I'm playing live or working on one of my songs.
Having said that, I almost never experience a string breaking, even though I play with a sharpened metal pick.

Bach and Artificial Harmonics #shorts
Playing Bach with artificial harmonics by lightly touching the string at the mid point between the fret and the bridge results in some pretty cool sounds!

Guitar Signal Chain #shorts
@hughesandkettner Tubeman is pretty much all I need for my overdrive/distortion sound. Though it certainly helps to play it through my @voxamplification tube amp and @behringer DI box helps to record clean guitar signal. From there I put the effect loop through @flammainnovation Delay, Reverb and Looper (which I use to quickly sketch ideas and for practice).
What is your signal chain?

Bach - Cello Suite in G Major #shorts
Follow along as I perform the Prelude from Bach's G Major Cello Suite with sheet music. I tune my guitar in fifths (CGDAE) so all the fingerings are the same as on a Cello.

Comparing Guitar Microphones #shorts
I am always recording my guitar with these two microphones - Behringer B 906 and MXL DX-2 - in order to get a fatter sound. Each one is adding a different frequency range to my sound.

Bass String on Guitar #shorts
I was putting flatwound strings on my Squier Stratocaster, and because of the custom tuning I use (ACGDAE), I had to adopt a string I took off my bass guitar for the low A.

Singing With a Shamanic Drum #shorts
I've been really enjoy singing these chants recently. There is so much beauty in the deceptive simplicity of playing this native drum, and singing over it - really, singing over a drone, because it produces just one note.
I feel it connects me with a part of me I did not know existed.
Who would have thought that a shamanic drum would teach me so much about music AND about myself?

Working on Guitar Rhythm #shorts
For many years I concentrated only on soloing, shredding on my guitar. It took me quite a while to realize that rhythm is much more important than playing fast solos.

Working on a New Song (Slave) #shorts
I improvised this song "Slave" one Sunday, when I just picked up the guitar, and all the music came out of me. I did not have the lyrics right away, but came up with that one phrase "What kills the flesh, makes me stronger - I will be a slave no longer". I was just coming out of a 5 day fast, so it might have been inspired by that experience.
By now I have all the music written and organized and lyrics done for the chorus. I am already thinking that this song will probably fit really well on a sequel album for "Sin" - but gotta finish Sin first, where I have 5 more songs to record, produce and release.

Guitar Cross Picking #shorts
Arpeggiating guitar chords using cross-picking with your finger nails gives much more control versus using guitar pick alone, as you can select individual strings to play. I also feel it results in softer, mellower sound. Give it a try!

Lyrics:
---
This story started
Eons ago
I separated
Started to grow
A vain desire
To multiply
Born to live
In order to die
And all this struggle
What for?
Can I replace
What was before?
Who can recall the reason why
I have decided to die?
It started slowly
At no cost
The devil was lonely
He seemed lost
"Allow me", he said
"To introduce you
To the world of the dead"
We all have sinned
Lost control
For a pile of dust
Sold our soul
Buried the guilt
Deep
Down inside
A creeping fright
Has left us blind
Guile
In your smile
Took me a while
To see through it all
Vile
Thoughts inside
My own mind
Corrupt from within
Provoke me to Sin
Became undone
Another layer
I kneel
I say a prayer
And then
once I'm done
I'm lost again
like everyone
My empty words
Sound so hollow
Yet I share
In your sorrow
Take my hand
I know you aspire
To enter
Into the fire
I've been complying
Paying the cost
The devil is smiling
I have lost
"Allow me", he said
"To share this apple
And you will forget
That you have sinned
Lost control
For a pile of dust
Sold your soul
Buried the guilt
Deep
Down inside
A creeping fright
Has left you blind"
Guile
In your smile
Took me a while
To see through it all
Vile
Thoughts inside
My own mind
Corrupt from within
Provoke me to Sin
To lose control
To end this pain
I'd sell my soul
I recognize
In my own pride
I sacrificed
The eternal light
We all have sinned!
