Had a wonderful time doing a charity gig for Abra, an island back home in the Philippines where children there are too eager to learn, however, they don't have a proper or decent school to study and no school supplies.  The project was very successful.  Port Mallilin and Carol Panday invited artists from Pilipino Musikero sa UK and loads pledged their support.  Also among the acts were Arisxandra Libantino, the pride of Filipinos in Britain who was one of the finalists. I am the guitarist of Crossedwind and we are dubbed as the House Band during the gig. We opened the event and then we were the closing act.  It was a fun night.  There were some challenges though.  Like for example, although myself and Ashley (sound director) were early to set up the amps and instruments, the pub's sound guy didn't like that we brought guitar, bass, and keyboard amps because it's going to be too loud.  He just want us to use their monitor speakers and house spea...

I am using an improvised setup for my effects and gadgets.  At the moment what Im using is a Digitech RP55 guitar processor and I bought on ebay an M-Audio expression pedal and sort of opened it and changed some polarity inside to match my Digitech foot pedal and it was a success.  I can now use the pedal either as a wah or whammy.  I was quite pleased with it because not only it's a small one but it's got a big punch. So much for that.  Now, having two pedals; a multieffects processor with the expression pedal connected to it, I think a pedalboard is a necessity.  Why?  Because the two pedals keep moving about and I had to kick it each time so that they are close to each other. What to do then? First thing's first, I looked online for DIY pedalboards as well as proper pedalboards that are commercially available and ready to be used.  Well, it's all good but I got an improvised setup so I was thinking that it won't fit my needs.  I ended...

I was using the same electric guitar for 4 years now and Im using a Lyon by Washburn strat style with double humbucker bridge pickup and two single coils on neck and mid.  The colour of my guitar is black finished and I wanted to do some accents or a little something that will change the image of my guitar. I came across on facebook an art page which is called Glam Worx and actually they posted on my group page, which is called Tsismis4Business where Im the one who manage/founder of the group or facebook page.  Anyways, I enquired if they can do me a decal stickers which is a sun and three stars and colour yellow or gold.  Then then I got a reply straight away and they said that at the moment they are only doing letterings, no graphics whatsoever yet.  So, I decided to have a go because I am really curious about this self-adhesive decal stickers plus I wanted something for my guitar.  So I said to them if they can give me a quote for 3 letters which is LVL a...
