Let's start with some maintenance before we started ..

New string try out day for BN5 ..     Dean Markley SR2000

beside wiping the body / neck once in a while, there are a little more we can do at our own at home that will keep the instrument at the best condition.  and these few things take about 30mins in total.  

above is my latest live setup for this year's songquest gig .

after being inspired by some legendary friends on Facebook, I decided to ended my weekend with some guitar wirings just like they did.

the aguilar obp-3 preamp came from my old amb-1bc which is now officially retired, and here's some photo of how the work was being done.. 

2nd song on the book ..  this one took me another while to learn ..   

intonation is still the main challenge ..

i was lucky enough to get invited to see Snarky Puppy live, these great talented musicians are really pushing things to another level ..  

mad chops, tasteful playing and they all hold up the energy at peak song after songs throughout the whole night      they do jazz / funk / r&b / progressive metal / pop / alternative and they just work     + it was the home court for the drummer Larnell Lewis …   he went nut quiet a few times …     

this is one of my best live experience in these years … 

Here's a demo I mixed for Toronto based Chinese band Sunny Raynn with the amazing Harry ge.
