Now on Netflix. The ReMastered Documentary: Devil at the Crossroads. The Robert Johnson Documentary. I haven't watched it yet so I can not recommend it. I'm just giving you a heads up. But I'm sure going to watch it. Probably tomorrow night.

I've been looking for a practice amp for some time that I could just carry around the house, plug in and jam away with. After spending some time with various little amps that really didn't do it for me, I took the plunge and got the Katana 50. Totally blown away. I have it at the 25W setting with the Master Volume cranked and use the regular volume to really adjust things, but the amps sound great and the effects really sound authentic. It does everything from sparkling clean to driving metal distortion. You can record direct into your computer. Has headphone jack to play silently. Highly recommended for beginners to pros alike. Just a great little all around amp. And the price can't be beat. At $230, it's really packed with features.

GAS strikes again! I found this one at a guitar auction in Casper, Wyoming. Here is my "new" 1997 BluesHawk: It has a Varitone circuit in it. None of my other Gibsons has a Varitone. It is the chicken-head knob It is smaller than a Les Paul, and my smallest semi-hollowbody. The guitar really SCREAMS! It doesn't have standard P-90s - it has "Blues" P-90s. The difference is that there is a dummy coil in the circuit. Wait, doesn't that make them humbuckers? It also has a 25 1/2" scale length and a string-through-body setup. Strange for Gibson. Another toy for me! Ben

Can't believe the timing of this thread since I just bought the Katana 50 yesterday at L & M, $299 CAD. I have been listening to the members reviews and finally decided to purchase. The bad news is that this amp is so popular, it is back ordered three weeks. I have no choice but to wait before rendering a review. Henk

Welcome aboard @Jusca! I'll post the rhythm asap, unfortunately I wasn't able to do it over the weekend

Congrats! They get lots of love online. Blue Dog has one also. I considered the 100 watt to use for gigging in conjunction with my Helix plugged in through the FX loop I figured in the Helix died, I could resort to plugging in the front of the amp to save a gig. I decided to go with a Powerblock into a cab I already had, but it wouldn't be close to the versatility of the Katana if the Helix died on me.

Congrats on your purchase! I bought one last year to use at church. I wanted something versatile and inexpensive I could just leave there and not have to carry an amp back and forth twice a week. It fills the bill perfectly.

Simply beautiful Danny. Not only is your playing excellent, but so is the sound engineering. Is that a real pedal steel guitar in the background, or were you able to produce that sound in your DAW?

Sounds fantastic Danny, I hope you feel well enough to add the vocals soon. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎶

I wanted to sing this song but my cold is forbiding it so this is my months contributions. pleases hear his original :

I'm a huge James Taylor fan, so I thought this would be a good one for this month's theme. Thanks for listening.

And now something completely different... I always wanted to rock like Status Quo. The intro was tricky to count, and the speed of the short solo was a challenge. But so much fun to learn. Wim.

Hi all, I hope you are well and feeling some spring in the air. Nothing posted for a while as it seemed some people were feeling the standard of the submissions was a bit intimidating and they wouldn’t give it a go. However, last months submissions were awesome, so now I’m feeling left out. 😭 this is a loose arrangement of a beautiful Mexican love song originally titled “Sabor a mi”, it was recorded in English by Doris Day retitled “True to me”. It’s played on a nylon string Godin Multiac into a Roland GR20 to add some strings. I just can’t get this guitar to sound the way it should so this is the last recording with it. It’s now on eBay. The clicks and buzzes are the guitars fault, the clipping is entirely mine. “You can always make a recording louder, but if it clips you’re screwed “. Enjoy!,

Enjoy!
