SUCCESS!

aka the project that I

started... a while ago

mostly finished (literally five tassels to go)

ignored for (mumble) duration because I was out of the thread I needed for the last of the tassels

is FINISHED!

because, as it turns out as I was organizing my craft stuff this morning, I either

a. never was out of dmc #437 floss in the first place

b. restocked and forgot I did that

(either are, to my great chagrin, possible, although I'm leaning towards b)

BUT

it's done now, hooray~

and the bookmark pile gets another addition courtesy of a pattern older than I am from my MIL's stash of old cross stitch magazines and some cloth scraps leftover from a previous project ^_^

Parsons/White Stringbender

[still-single]

Ibex Clone – All Channels Clear LP (Goner)

Pretty solid debut from the remaining three-fourths of Hash Redactor, a fun Memphis band that didn't really have the directional pull of what they're driving at now, which points towards the historical re-enactment of a band that might've opened for R.E.M. at the Antenna Club way back when. The flangey guitar and wheedlin' stringbend technique, general slow-midtempo autumnal melancholy and Alec McIntyre's vocal decisions put this firmly in the wheelhouse of dogeared, clip-cornered, marked-up records that have survived college radio station purges (or survive today in private homes) since the '80s, evidence of some impassioned level of debate for/against (or in specific cases, debates on For Against) still affixed. There's a little Polvo in the slipperiness and southern-ness of these tracks, a lot of Bob Mould in the vocals, and the general demeanor of a band in the throes of the past, c/o Slovenly, My Dad Is Dead, Honor Role, the Middle Class LP, and so on. Ex-Nots and ex-Ex-Cult, Ibex Clone gives off a sense of the grandeur in finality that one wouldn't normally associate with the molotov of Goner Records, but it's set in stone now, decaying nature from which something new will surely grow.

yesss...

YESSS!

Full respect to spinners what on earth are you doing. Y'all are standing around saying things like "well the halo on the wool from this sheep Betty created the perfect fluffitude while quadruple-chain plied but it turned out 2mm too thick and I didn't like how slippery it was on my drop spindle, next time I'll try Margaret's wool since she's two years older and that should help with both issues" I think I have finally discovered how people feel about calculus. What is happening over there. I am deeply impressed with this precision and complexity and attention to detail but I think if I understood more than 50% of what you were saying I would regress back into a single celled organism. Thank you spinners.

How much focus do you put on practicing string bends & slides? I focus a lot on these, particularly on intonation. These 2 techniques (along with vibrato, of course) bring the soul to your playing. They create a passionate framework for your blazing shred phrases to really sing. Aside from blues greats like SRV & Gilmour, a couple of notable artists are Satriani (who uses a ton of quick slides to make melody lines feel more like a voice), Yngwie's use of string bending in his early work, and of course Steve Vai. And if you listen to Hindustani music...those guys are UNREAL with precise intonation of compound bends and quick slides. - - - - - #ethnicshred #shredguitar #guitarshred #guitarsolo #improvisation #guitarist #shred #guitar #fusion #guitaristsunite #guitarhero #guitarplaying #guitarporn #guitarshred #iloveguitars #guitaristsofinstagram #guitarrista #alternatepicking #legato #stringbending #satriani #stevevai #yngwie (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LZIpADu2S/?igshid=11jo0tllswjdz

(via B-Bender - Wikipedia)

A B-Bender is a guitar accessory that enables a player to mechanically bend the B-string up by as much as a minor third (three frets). There are several different designs, but all use levers or pulleys inside or outside the guitar body that are activated by a pull or push of the guitar neck, body, or bridge. The resulting tone sounds much like a pedal steel guitar and contributes a "country" feeling. Originally designed for the Fender Telecaster, B-Benders are now available to fit many solid body electric guitars, and even acoustic guitars.

The B-Bender was invented in 1968 by musicians Gene Parsons and Clarence White of Nashville West and The Byrds. The device was originally called the Parsons/White Pull-String, later renamed the StringBender, and is now best known as the B-Bender...  

@rrrick   B-Benders are way cool.
