Quick Story: This channel is dedicated to grabbing the Bull by the Horns and going for it. Just about everything I do in my videos, I’ve never done before. Most of the time, I don’t have a clue what I’m doing, but I do it anyway. We live in a world of Google and YouTube where just about anything you can think of has a how to video or write up. In my opinion, there’s no reason NOT to just GO FOR IT and try new things.
So, I’m here to try to inspire others to just go for it, and NEVER say, “I can’t do that”.
Backstory and my motivation:
If you know me, you know I am a total music nut, and yes, I have a similar YouTube channel dedicated to music, which (of course) I’m not really good at either, but I digress….. Here’s the backstory:
In 1976 Eddie Van Halen wanted the fat sound of a Gibson Humbucker Pickup BUT he also wanted a vibrato bar and he preferred the style of a Fender Strat. No such guitar existed at the time and in 1976 Ed was still pretty poor as Van Halen didn’t have a record deal yet. His financial situation made him hungry, and willing to do what was necessary to get what he wanted. He was the first one to ever slam a Humbucker Pickup into a Strat and get that signature sound he is so famous for. He changed the guitar industry as Humbuckers can be found in anything nowadays.
Much later after fame and fortune, he was quoted using the phrase, “Innovation through Necessity”. Bottom Line: He built stuff because it didn’t exist, or he couldn’t afford it. That’s MY life, these are MY videos, ….. Enjoy.
