Apologies for the downtime today. We’ve moved into a fantastic new server thanks to the guys over at http://www.34sp.com. Hopefully nothing has broken in the move, but please let me know if you spot anything that doesn’t look right.
Secondly, a massive apology for the lack of updates. There are many articles in the pipeline from a guitar speaker build, a respray and various other tech articles.
If you have an interest in wtiting music related articles, or would like to help us out with a video lesson, then please get in touch. We really need writers!
