Who Would’ve Thought… a Wah and a Nylon String Guitar

Rodrigo and Gabriela… Beautiful… even for acoustic guitars. Keep watching and you’ll hear different songs. A whole concert is being streamed in the above video. Fabchannel have recorded and webcasted Rodrigo y Gabriella’s show at Paradiso, Amsterdam on November 29th, 2008.

Sketches and Drawings

For whatever reason when I came home tonight I really wanted to do a quick self portrait. So I brilliantly (and by brilliant, I mean completely retardedly) grabbed a box of crayons cause they’re so easy to use (more sarcasm) and decided to draw my face. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been, [...]

The Edge Waxes Poetic on His Guitars

Part I: The Edge’s First Guitar Let’s give it up for the anti-solo guitar player. Part II: The Story of the Guitar and its Mysterious Ways… um… I think I need an ‘infinite guitar.’ HT: Lance Crawford

The End of An Era: Rest in Peace Venom [05/2003 - 02/2009]

I was in a pretty bad car accident this past Saturday. A car struck me on the front left hand side of my vehicle with the front right hand side of theirs. It was probably one of the most disorienting experiences I’ve ever been in since I did not expect it, or see it coming. [...]

When the Clock Starts Winding Down on a Friday

People sometimes get a little crazy in the office towards the weekend and 5 o clock on a Friday. For some reason, my co-worker decided to horde some Nerds candy in a special place and then started doing what you are about to see. I was able to document it. There was a little post [...]

Hi, My Name is Samuel. You May Call Me Samuel.

I must admit, I have a pet peeve, a gripe if you will, regarding the lack of respect people show towards others when it comes to addressing them by their proper name. There is nothing more annoying to me than when I reply to a client in an email, sign my name as Samuel Febres, [...]
