I Got A New Gibson SG!!

So I posted a few months back about my old Gibson SG breaking. I tried another time to glue it again with epoxy, but that didn't hold either. I'll be trying another time or two with something different but it might be a lost cause. No harm in trying again though as the guitar is worthless now anyway.

Anyway, while we were on vacation in July, @inkpixie picked me up a new guitar in Sydney.

A new Gibson SG, in fact!

I haven't really played it too much because it's still very much summer and there are other things to do right now. But, I picked it up the other night and gave it a good going over.

I ended up making this little song with my loop pedal that turned out not half bad considering I winged the whole thing. The guitar sounds great, though. I'm not sure how long the strings have been on there, but the guitar will probably sound even better with a fresh set.

I've been using Reaper instead of ProTools lately and it seems to be working really well for basic recordings. It took me a little while to get used to it but it seems like a really powerful DAW considering it's free unless I want to pay for it - which I probably will because it's less than $100.

One other thing I was also thinking about was Choon.co. It will be great when they get an embeddable player made so it's possible to share music on other sites, like SoundCloud, without having to actually go to the site. I suppose DSound needs this feature, too. This one feature will really boost the accessibility of the site to non-members who already know about it. Of course it will also be great to be able to sell the 'notes' earned from Choon too, but it's not bad having them accumulate right now even if it isn't possible to sell them yet. It's just a matter of time before both of those happen, I bet.
