I have now created a profile at Kit.com which details the guitar gear and studio equipment I use nicely in one space. This is a great site if you are in to gear porn! I know I spend far too long there. This is a work in progress as I still have a few more items to add (plus new ones :) ) So do go head over and check out the gear and some of the other uses. I am sure it will fire up you G.A.SEnjoyPeaceNeil

RANT : Online forums, echo chambers, GAS and guitarists

Guitar-FX-Copy-2.jpg

Time for another little rant video. I know this one will probably cause some viewer to get a bit angry, but maybe that is the point. Maybe sometimes it is good to self reflect. In this video I will be looking at the internet phenomena of people always wanting the 'next upgrade' or the 'next piece of gear' without fully exploring or LEARNING about what they already have, LEARNING IS HARD SOMETIMES and the more effort you put in, the greater the returns (and the less gear you need!)Delve in to my argument here, and of course....I’d love to hear your thoughts!Enjoy!PeaceNeil

New Logo and brand

I am please to announce that the first stage in the revamping (and rebranding) of my website....and general musical life is coming along nicely with the development of my new logo and style. This is all in conjunction with the release of my new guitar album which should be hitting the online world on the 1st of October.....fingers crossed. I wanted an logo which was musical (see if you can spot it!) and also managing to keep my initials in. I am so pleased with the results. There will be a lot more updates to come, including the big one....yes the website revamp. I am working to declutter and make the website easier for the viewer and easier to find things on it than it is right now.Spencer Bruce Music LogoThanks for your support.EnjoyPeaceNeil
