Great job, @Niels! That was really melodic. I loved that you had recurring ideas and motifs and you used space very effectively! Super job!

I look at the fretboard sometimes, and sometimes I close my eyes, turn out the lights, or look at the lyrics in order to cultivate the independence of my fretting hand. 🙂

If you ever get bitten by the amp building bug, check out the YouTube channel from “Uncle Doug” – he’s a great teacher and he has a bunch of 20-30 minute videos about how different parts of the amp work. I learned a ton from his stuff!

Hi, @Sheryl14! I’m glad things are going better! It’s hard when it’s physically challenging to play guitar. I hope your carpal tunnel syndrome improves speedy quick!

I’ve been keeping my eyes out around here, but even the sketchy ones go for a lot of money. That’s what led to building a reproduction from a kit. If you’re handy with woodworking you could save some money (like $200-250) by building your own cabinet. I’ve seen some folks online do tube builds in their old solid state amps, too.

It was a bit of a reach for me starting with a Deluxe Reverb — the tremolo and reverb circuitry adds a lot of complexity to the build. I’ve heard that a Tweed can be a great first build. A Champ or a 5E3 Deluxe would be really fun!
