I wonder if anyone at Google uses Google Play Music or Youtube Music. Both products are just crap.

Ok, I think I don’t need more pedals unless I buy a real 100w amp with 4x12 cabinet. :) Just kidding. It’s a digital era now, no more real amps. :)

Free cups from Nespresso.

Ok, I have migrated to the new computer and I’m happy. For now. :) There are a couple more things I will do next year, though. I want 64GB of RAM and a Thunderbold 3 audio interface. But that’s it, honestly. :)

A bronze sustain block for my Strat has arrived. The final upgrade piece

The wait time is over.

Yey!!!!

Dear VMware, what an awesome and beautiful interface. sarcasm :)

Finally!!! The new Mac mini is going to be my next computer.

The weekend project went well :)

Franz app doesn’t allow me to paste any text into the input fields. WTF?!

A new toy has arrived. :)

Staying in tune.

It looks like Microsoft are good guys now and Google is evil.

Bought a LED desk lamp and put it behind my displays.

This thing has become my primary communication device. AirPods are great but their battery life really sucks.

Improved sustain and and tuning stability have arrived:)

The Fishman Fluence pickups are the best pickups I have ever tried. They sound like passive ones with a lot of clarity and crisp but without any noise or hisses . I couldn’t be happier.

One more battery to charge :)

The first upgrade kit has arrived. The Fishman Fluence pickup set.

Kuassa has released a new amp recenlty: Amplifikation Caliburn. I decided to give it a try and didn’t hold my breath but I was blown away. This plugin is the best Marshall amp sim I have ever played so far (sorry, Mercuriall, it’s true, at least it doesn’t need Xeon CPUs to play). It feels and sounds like a real thing. Bought it immediately.

I’ve been thinking and maybe I’ll invest in Axe FX III instead of relying on a computational power of a laptop for guitar amp modeling. Axe FX (and Kemper too) has reached a point when it’s not only sounds as a real thing but also plays the same. Dynamics, harmonics, all that stuff are really good. The only thing that concerns me is the price tag which is $2,500.

I ditched Reaper in favor of Logic Pro X and it feels like home now.

Mercurial Spark is the best software guitar amp I have ever tried. The problem is my Macbook Pro is not powerful enough for this plugin and I have clicks and cracks when playing. 🙁

Yay!

I started wearing contacts recently and wearing them became so natural to me I keep forgeting to take them off before I go to bed. Gosh. What a great invention it is. :)

It’s been 2 years since I sold my PRS Custom 22. Yesterday I went to Guitar Center and walk out of the store with this used Mexican Strat. I was surprised by the quality of the guitar which I got for only $435. It plays and sounds great.

Got tired of reading books on a phone, just ordered Kindle Oasis. It’s gonna be my first eInk device. My only concern is that 7” screen is too small for reading PDFs. And I’m really excited about that 300 PPI screen. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed.

It’s a mystery to me why Home and End keys on an extended Apple Keyboard just duplicate Page Up and Page Down functionality. Remapped those to CMD+Right and CMD+Left. Now I’m happy. :)

Heading out to watch a live baseball game for the first time in my life. It’s gonna be fun! Diamonbacks vs Angels.
