Great wrap up to 3 seasons of Ted Lasso. If you have not seen Ted Lasso, I highly recommend it. BUT, you must watch from the beginning... season 1 episode 1.
I regularly watch "That Pedal Show". Recently, they had an episode titled "Amazing Chord-Melody Guitar Playing & Tone With Tim Lerch". I had never heard of Tim Lerch, but enjoy chord-melody guitar and watched it. It turns out that Tim is an excellent guitar player and musician. He is also a great teacher. Although the episode was very long, over 1 and 1/2 hours, Tim delivered some good insights and great playing. I made a few notes below. It is worth a watch at the link above.
Learn, Practice, Play -
- Learn a small thing and learn it well. Don’t learn too much of it. Take small bites and chew them well
- Practice the thing you learned enough and efficiently so that you can actually use it in a musical and improvisational capacity
“It can take 2 hours of practice to get 10 minutes of beautiful music”
- Play This is the performance, where you actually play the music. You turn back into a musician. You’re not a student anymore, you’re playing!
You need to balance all three. Also, each has a different mindset: - Alert/Focused mind - learn without mistakes. The mind is very alert, judgemental, very articulate and we want to do it right. Slowly in a controled environment. The mind rules the roost - Relaxed Mind - this is during repetition - - Almost nothing
’If you have to give up one thing, give up the learning… and focus on the practice and always do the playing.
Always remind yourself you are a musician!’
Great/Fun Analysis of the Mister Roger's Theme...
]]>Removed the cage to replace the tubes…
Removed the power tubes in order to get at the preamp tubes…
Two of the preamp tubes are tucked behind the transformer…
The preamp tubes are set low and directly on the circuit board…
You can see here the circuit board tube sockets…
I didn’t realize the Mark 5:35 had a fan in the chassis…
Resetting the preamp tube housing was tricky…
Very tricky…
With all the preamp tubes replace and rehoused, time to replace the power tubes…. This is much easier…
All done and tube cage back in place

We can all relate...
I thought I knew this, but learned a bit more watching this video...
