String to Speaker
http://mindofbryan.com/string
In this blog, I cover anything that influences how a guitar makes sound from String to Speaker. I will accompany this blog with a monthly podcast and eventually a book. I'll include schematics and DIY projects, product reviews, full analysis articles, interviews with players and engineers, and industry information. I have a long history of playing bass and guitar, and experimenting with effects and techniques, dealing with professional musicians and own quite a lot of gear, and all of this will be going into this blog.
