After decades of badgering my wife I finally converted an unused bedroom into a music room. Still setting it up but I had to break it in with some Beatles. I used my Rickenbacker 370 six string played into a looper pedal for the first intro riff and all rhythm guitar parts then grabbed a Gretsch to play over the playback. As usual I recorded this with my phone leaned against a coffee mug because I'm high tech... And don't ask what I had to do to get my wife on board with the room conversion....

And don't ask what I had to do to get my wife on board with the room conversion.... I’m sure the renovation of the kitchen and master bath will go fine 😁

Hey Dave hope you're doing well! For this I used a pair of small amps so it wouldn't overdrive my phones mic. I ran the looped Rickenbacker playback parts thru a Boss Katana Mini and played the Gretsch thru my vintage 1965 Gretsch 6120-T.

Sounds Good! I guess my wife was easier given that she gave me the go-ahead to convert one of our bedrooms about 10 years back.
It has to feel nice. I was down in our basement prior to my move with the heater going off, the occasional flood, and just the dinginess of a basement. Enjoy!

I converted one of my bedrooms into an office and music room several months ago an it made playing Sooo, much more enjoyable! Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner? There is no one here to tell me what to do with my house as I haven't been married in almost thirty years now! Just me and the dogs!

Yeah , all the kids are long gone and this was my sons bedroom. Basically became a repository for stuff we moved around during renovations. So much better having a dedicated space where I can leave my gear out without the dogs getting into it or spousal situations And when I want to do a vid I don't have anyone photo-bombing it LOL!

Frank, no worries re your set up. This guy uses a Teddy Bear as a mic stand. Great "Trippin'" tune on your Gretsch!!

I haven’t had a jam room to play in since my buddy sold his house 4 years ago. I’d sell both my testicles and a kidney to have a place to play “loud” again! enjoy your new space Frank.

Well , it cost me a fully remodeled master bath , which is about the equivalent of those body parts I think.... Thanks Martin!

Martin, you need to learn to haggle... You start with the "i'd give my left nut" and then slowly work you way up to both testicles PLUS the kidney. good luck.

There’s not enough time left in life to haggle!

There’s not enough time left in life to haggle! besides, you'd be hagglin' with the wife and she probably already has the 2 testicles in a jar somewhere (under the kitchen sink, next to a jar of bacon grease).
