Hi I am Brent Hutchinson a guy that took a leap and went out into the world with my guitar and no idea! Years later and I'm still doing it so I decided to do a Daily Vlog to show how I am doing. Hopefully I can inspire you to follow your dreams no matter what they are. I did around 100 days vlogging and no one was really interested so I have now developed this channel into a guitar mod build music gig vlogs and stuffs
I also do gear reviews and hacks, I show you how to set up your guitars and I have advice on what I do to keep myself working full time as a musician which could help you do the same. I have live and studio footage of my music and my take on covers too.
EVERYDAY IS A DIFFERENT DAY!
Subscribe to my channel and join me on my journey.!!!

EXCELLENT STUFF ❤️ - As always full of great information and a great watch .... Thanks for filming and sharing M8ty .... M&MX ❤️ / Mark T X ♥️ / Tetanus Ted X ♥️ / Unofficial BHB X ❤️
@@BrentHutchinson WTF? Some1 got a FREE amp then! I have 1 now that I got for free a few mths back cos it didn't have a speaker and it wasn't working correctly! Seems it prob has some dodgy valves! I haven't had a chance to try a valve swap to find the offender(s)! My mum was reaching her end of life, so I had OTHER priorities! Now she's joined my dad & god, I have a lot more spare time to sort stuff out!
@@BrentHutchinson Thanks, but dude I'm IN the Antipodes! I have valves here. Apparently, EHX valves were standard on those amps, & EHX are unreliable! The 1 I got has all EHX pre & post, so prob still original!
Its Jatoba wood how do I know I own one very popular in Asia and Australia ! No longer made and sort after by blokes who know ! Keep it they are better than most others !😉
@@BrentHutchinson Not really lol. I was just curious to see what it might come up with. I think any blues style song would be fairly easy for it to handle. Standard 12 bar shuffle progression type thing. But folk could be wild hehe. 😁
Lol that's a good one.. yeah A.I. is getting too clever, having said that the lyrics don't make a whole lot of sense. It wrote another 2 today called Rocket in My pocket. 😁
Pooping Bullets! Excellent. So funny. Truth be told I've heard worse on the radio posing as 'real songs. Brilliant hehe. You should ask AI to write a song called Sketchy Facts. Esp for Mrs H. 😂Xxx
Yeeee Hawwwwwww ...... Howdy Pawdner 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 ..... Great fun but definitely not a "Gootartistry Master Classic" lol😅😢😅😅 .... M&MX ❤️ / Mark T X ♥️ / Tetanus Ted X ♥️ / Unofficial BHB X ❤️
.... Oh my... Probably the toughest kit in the world to learn on... Tiny heads on each pad.... ... Wait till this guys gets behind a real kit.... Mind blown... 🤯 .. Keep it up mate, your doing Fantastic... 💜🐇🤗
... On a small other note, as I didn't realise it was you... If it comes with a click metro, practice with it. Then abandon it when playing live... Go Brent. Keep up the good work... (and fixing harley's van for the umteenth time... A True Star you are..) 😂🌟🐇🤗💜
Even as an acoustic it still sounds better than a Martin Backpaker or a Taylor Big Baby...They really messed up not using plywood tops on those as travel guitars
I think a bridge pickup, especially single coil, sounds very thin if you put it further back than centered on the 48th fret location. I also think the full neck position on a 21/22 fret guitar is a little too fat, also, and that the whole "24th fret harmonic node" think is a bunch of malarkey. The neck pos with a humbucker/p90/filtertron on a 24-fret guitar is typically the sweetest neck sound to me. As such, if I were to do this mod, I'd make the bathtub route allow for a P90 or Jazzmaster-sized bobbin to center the poles on the 48th fret location and no further back, but limit the forward movement of the cavity to where a 24 fret guitar would have the neck pickup with maybe 5mm or so of extra space so the neck pocket can still have a strong wall to butt the neck against. All that being said, I liked the combination when you had both pickups directly in between where the neck, middle, and bridge usually are... And now that I look at it, isn't that almost where the duosonic/mustang pickup locations are? Anyway, another general theory/thing I noticed about pickup positioning is that aside from the bridge (which is more sensitive to positioning to sound good/strong enough), the trick to pickup positioning is how it related to string length while fretted, not any magical harmonic node stuff. Why? Because harmonic nodes go out the window as soon as you fret a string. So where you place your pickups should be based on where you want to pick up the strongest amplitude vs the brightest sound. The neck is the most dynamic, it starts off strong and gets stronger towards the middle of the fretboard before becoming bright and harmonic at the bottom of the fretboard, wherein the distance from the fret to the pickup would be similar to the distance from the bridge to the pickup (try switching between bridge and neck pos on the bottom few frets, you'll hear the similarity, especially if your pickups have the same output). With the middle position, the string center constantly moves towards the pickup poles, allowing the pickup to grab the strongest amplitude as the string becomes weaker and lower amplitude due to being shortened via fretting. And the bridge picks up a consistently small amplitude no matter where you fret it, which is what makes it bright and cutting. Now the magical harmonic nodes thing DOES still kinda apply, even at certain fretted positions without you having to constantly superposition the pickup to always catch a node for every string and every fret. It's just that, well, given the last sentence it's not nearly as important as people think. The thing is, though, is that you can catch some good stuff if you're working with a 24-fret guitar. On a 24-fret guitar, the 36th fret "node," if you will, is also the geometric exact middle position. The full neck position also typically lands on the 5th harmonic node which combined with the slightly lower bass output is why I think it sounds better than a 21/22 fret guitar's neck position which is the 24th fret "node." But once again, the bridge is kinda just the bridge. The 48th fret position gives you a "node" per-se and is far enough back to be called a "bridge" pickup as opposed to the 36th fret location still kinda being the middle. If you have two pickups, especially if one is a humbucker or wide bobbin like a P90 then you can technically do a full route and slam one pickup all the way against the bridge, but I'm also of the mind that one pickup is superior to two. You can absolutely get the brightness and dynamics of a single coil out of a humbucker if you make one (or commission one) custom with thicker than normal wire(38-40awg), a stacked construction, wide bobbins, strong neodymium magnets, and a DCR in the range of 4k-6k. Having a single pickup cleans up your signal chain and makes for a clearer tone. From there you just gotta place it depending on how you want it to interact with the strings as described in the previous three paragraphs. How you get the variety of tones outside of that is by ACTUALLY using the tone and volume controls, setting them up correctly with the right caps and accessory circuits like a treble bleed or passive mid control, and through different playing styles such as changing your pick attack, picking location, ditching the pick altogether for fingers, and other stuff.
Oh, I forgot to add in all my theory talk: If you want to improve your design, look into using kitchen drawer sliders or a plastic paper trimmer slider for a non-conductive solution.
I bought mine over 3 years ago now as I was travelling all the time, and it was a great companion. It was dead easy to transport and perfect for hotel bedrooms so as not to cause any annoyance to others. However.... At home, it gets plugged into my Marshall AS50D and boy, it's a whole different animal. It totally comes alive!!!! An absolutely awsome buy at a tiny budget price. I cannot recommend the APXT2 highly enough.
Beautiful song ...... and *AWESOME* vocals by your good self too ......... love how you describe and demonstrate the recording processes too........ find this fascinating......... Thank you so much for filming and sharing the experience ......... and the Gootar solo is absolutely GORGEOUS too😍...... M&MX ❤️ / Mark T X ♥️
I normally dislike RU-vidrs begging for likes/subscribes, but that acoustic guitar outro was a pretty creative and awesome way to do it, I don't even mind! :)
