Getting hung up on rhythms when transcribing

Well, that’s a year gone by. The GB10 and Romeo are still here. The Gretsch is gone. The GB10 is just right for me. Plays like a dream, sounds like one too, completely reliable and fuss-free. And it...

Can you show me your 1x8" guitar amp?

Ah, good point. But you have proven its not that difficult or complicated to get a good tone out of the thing. Even something like all tone knobs straight up on the amp and dial back a little on the...
