Manually coded in Xcode, first in AS3 using Flash, then Objective C, then Swift, Phew, 5 years in the making
And as regards to the Play Store, I have 3 Apps on there, trouble is, it cost about 20 quid to join as a developer for Google and thats for life, they have no review process and you can basically upload anything you want, I could compile a web site, or make an app that donāt really do anyting and upload it to the Play Store and Google wouldāt care, to be honest they accept any old crap.
Where as with Apple you have to pay Ā£69 a year and any app you submit has to go through a review board and there are lots of rules to abide to, and if your App is rubbish or they think you have thrown it together in 5 Minutes it will be rejected.
Thats why I no longer develop for Google (plus the fact as soon as you upload it, you can bet that the very next day it will be hacked and available for free on certain sites)
Donāt get me wrong I have an Android tablet and it comes in extremely handy, I mainly use it for Vape Tool Pro where I store all my concentrates and recipes as well as ELR, and itās great for coil builds, and I would like to have my App on the Play Store, so if and when Google change their policies and improve or fix their vulnerabilities this will be a done deal
I guess Iām reviving this topic because I finally picked up my guitar after a long hiatus (too embarrassed to say how long). I lost my calluses and have to start all over like Iām in kindergarten. But I found this guy on YouTube that helps guitarists get back in the saddle. What a gem to find.
Me too. I was a Buffett/Doobies hybrid back in the day. Then last month, I dropped by the Guitar Center for a pair of drum sticks and asked the guy how many points I had. He said $170. I said Iāll back back in a minuteā¦
Unfortunately, Iām a shitty guitar player. Still got the virus though, so Iām trying to get back in but itās a rocky road.
In the meantime Iām building stuff, working on a Jazzcaster / Telemaster right now, but the surface finishing is turning out to be a shit job with unclear outcome. Ordered some pickups from a small shop in Ohio called Bootstrap Pickups.
Also in the pipeline is a Fender Champ 5f1 style amp and an Ibanez Tube screamer, I just received the kits.
I doubt I would even know the difference So far, Iāve plugged it in, tuned it and strummed a few chords and the intonation doesnāt seem to be too far off
No worries, when you look at the pic of my LP, it has a bridge for the strings and a tailpiece to hold them. On your LP, there is only one part which holds the strings and acts as the bridge. The advantage of your bridge is better contact to the guitar body, the advantage of a 2-pice system is that you can intonate precisely.
But if it plays well, who cares
I didnāt even notice that at first but then I havenāt been looking at guitars for a long time. I am interested in finding a decent, affordable classical guitar. Something light that I can just pick up and play with no amps attached, lol. I used to own one until I lent it out to someone who left it leaning against their radiator. It was returned with a crack in the soundboard from the sound hole all the way back. Fortunately, it wasnāt an expensive instrument but it holds dear memories for me so itās hanging on the wall.
You may be interested in one of these Donner Hush critters. They have an electric and an acoustic version. Either version is played through headphones (or an amp) and come with a million sounds and samples.
No iām not a luthier, that would be nice! I only buy parts and stick them together. Not even that, to get the neck fitted i give it to a real luthier. Thatās a key aspect and I donāt think I can do it. It needs to be 100%.
Itās very nice that you wish i was your neighbour. Iād always have a guitar for you. But trust me, youād be annoyed very soon
I developed an eye for these things. Sad, isnāt it?
Just get one of these classical nylon string guitars. Iāve bought one for 90ā¬ and it plays great.
Iāve had these for a long time. a discountinued fender cyclone and a 12 string acoustic by art and lutherie, though i really wanted a martin
the 12 string sounds great with folk nylon string set and the fender has a quarter siZed paint chip, i have no idea where i would source this grafiti yellow paint to repair it. from fender directly i guess?
So far, Iāve plugged it in, tuned it and strummed a few chords and the intonation doesnāt seem to be too far off
