I was on YouTube for some random reason today and this video was up front. I don't know anything about these guys, but this video of of abusing and finally cutting open a midrange Martin was enjoyable and felt slightly deviant to watch. I guess I've never really done a deep dive into guitar construction, but because I'm headed toward making a decent (I hope) cigar box guitar I'm more interested than previously. I learned some cool things about guitar construction, as well as some corners manufacturers might cut (and that maybe some of them don't matter). If you like Things Cut In Half Porn, then the latter part of this video might be satisfying.

Again: No idea who these people are, and it's likely I won't watch more videos from them (my YouTube account is filled with subscriptions to channels I literally never watch because I just don't use YouTube much).

(It was fun to see 5-second nod to #TaylorGuitars because I own a couple; I am not an evangelist for them, but I have had a lot of fun with mine).

Two Luthiers Cut a Martin Billy Strings Signature Model Guitar In Half To Review It! (D-X2E Model)

Wee practice the other weekend and the first part of 'Baby Can I Hold You' by the one and only Tracy Chapman. Have played it forever and never get tired of it! My voice is getting almost back to normal - or it was, before I got this horrid cold! 🦠

First 20 seconds of a new song I've been working on: "The Games You Play". It's been half finished since the spring and decided this month it was actually finished. Sometimes you just need to sleep on things a very long time!

Another clip from an old song from 2001 called 'Ex-encounter'. It's about those moments when fear and loneliness can drive us back to situations and people that are definitely not good for us. It was only a moment and I didn't follow the urge, but the power of it made me realise how easy it is to get stuck in relationships that are not good for us.

For anyone who cares too much about what other people think about them! The beginning of my song 'I Don't Care'....

56 Minutes Ago - I Call That New

I like this Paoletti guitar better than the Taylor guitar in the latest prior videos.

When I heard Elvis Presley live, it was the very great James Burton who played this guitar riff. It seems to me it was probably Burton on the record.
