Memory unlocked 🎸😄

I found a box in storage containing years of old guitar string packets from back when I used to change strings every week and collect D’Addario Player Points.

I honestly forgot I still had them!

Who else remembers collecting Player Points... and did anyone actually redeem enough for something good? 🤔

Just uploaded a breakdown of the FM3 tone from the last blues video.

Very simple setup — amp, cab, reverb — but it worked really well.

New video just uploaded!
If you own a Fractal FM3, you’ll know how easy it is to scratch the screens when using the footswitches.
I’ve just installed these KNK Shields to protect mine — and tested whether they get in the way 👀

Gigging FM3 users — are you using the Perform layout?

I recently changed my live setup and it’s completely eliminated the tap dancing I was doing between presets.

Now I can:

✔ Stay in one layout
✔ Access all effects instantly
✔ Change delay & chorus types mid-song
✔ Switch presets without losing control consistency

Curious how other players are structuring their layouts live?

This video was recorded during those strange times when COVID stopped all live performance.

No gigs. No audiences. Just music at home.


Here’s my chord melody arrangement of Auld Lang Syne — a quiet moment of reflection, connection, and hope.


Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy New Year.
Here’s to more music, more moments, and more live performances ahead. ❤️🎶

FM3 users — this is a BIG one.


In Part 2 of my FM3 Looper series, I explain why looper placement completely changes how the looper behaves.


If you’ve ever wondered why your loop changes tone when switching scenes… this is why.



(Part 1 covers trimming and multi-loop workflows if you missed it.)

FM3 users — you’re probably looping the hard way!

I’ve just uploaded a new video showing the FM3-Edit looper workflow that almost nobody uses…

Perfect loops, precise trimming, multiple loop sections, better timing practice — all without touching the footswitch.

👉 If you practise with your FM3, this will be a game-changer.

Have you been using the looper this way already? Or is this new to you? Let me know! 🙌
