Guitar Gear Review: Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Allan Holdsworth Humbucker

As guitarists go, Allan Holdsworth is generally associated with Carvin (more so these days, Kiesel). And yes, Kiesel does offer 2 different sets of Holdsworth humbuckers. He is also known to have used DiMarzios (the original DP103 PAF, as near as I can tell). But I have an Allan Holdsworth humbucker from the Seymour Duncan company. So that’s what...

Brother Neil Releases New Album “Away Avenue Away….”

In 2014 Brother Neil released his first album ‘Bonfire Confessions’ to a great deal of (well-deserved) critical acclaim. Bonfire Confessions was a collection of acoustic songs (written from personal journals) that drew song subjects from his own life. While the album was entirely acoustic it wasn’t monotonous or dull, rather Brother Neil delivered an album of individual (sounding) songs that...

Review: Apple MacBook Pro 2016 (Touch Bar)

So I saved up all year, pinched those pennies and finally purchased a new computer in April. I go to school for Audio Recording and wanted a high quality laptop that was light to transport, yet powerful to handle the production aspects. I got the mid-tier 15" MacBook Pro. I paid $2440 for it (thanks education discount) and was...

You might remember me looking for an excuse to try what BKP considers their ‘Jimmy Page’ set: The Mule neck and a Riff Raff bridge. So, why not grab full sets? Plus, considering the nod to the AC/DC song of the same...

Review: EZ Drummer 2 – So Many Applications in One Great Application

I have seen the percussion emulators from the clicking of my Aunt’s Thomas Organ in the 70’s to the modern marvel of the Casio keyboard in the 80’s. When the PC became a household staple the technology behind percussion and drum emulators boomed. The problem with most of them is they don’t offer much more than the Thomas organs...
