    Tausch Guitars 665 Raw review of a great sounding German boutique guitar

    Tausch Guitars 665 Raw review of a great sounding German boutique guitar

    German luthier Rainer Tausch (tausch-guitars.de) builds incredible guitars that are a successful blend of tradition and modernity. Indeed, the lines of his guitars are inspired by well-known American models, such as the Telecaster in the case of this 665 Raw.







    But Rainer doesn't just copy a well-known recipe - far from it! The 665 Raw is very different from an old-fashioned Telecaster: the body is hollow, the neck is glued and the pitch is 665mm (hence the reference).

    Songwriting in a 50h course: Henning Pauly and Rafael Cano interview to know everything!

    Songwriting in a 50h course: Henning Pauly and Rafael Cano interview to know everything!

    I've known Henning Pauly for years since I've seen him at almost every show except the NAMM where he decided not to go anymore. You probably also know him because his videos on YouTube are a must.







    Well, this time Henning decided to share his knowledge of songwriting by putting together a 50+ hour course on the subject with his partner Rafael Cano.







    To know more about it, I interviewed the two guys!







    The course is available on the website : spectreacademy.net

    The course "Almost But Not Quite Complete Guide to Songwriting"







    With this humorous title the two German musicians offer a 4-part curriculum:









    * Music harmony







    * Lyrics







    * Writing







    * Real writers interviews















    Disclaimer







    Henning is a real friend of the YouTube world, so I did this interview to give him a hand.







    Also because during the in-depth interview with him in August 2022, I had discovered his background as a producer and songwriter, so he really knows what he's talking about even if we know him more for his gear testing.







    Buy the Songwriting course







    The link to buy this training is an affiliate link so if you buy it, The Guitar Channel will get a commission on the sale. There you go, you know everything.







    Until the next interview, keep on playing the guitar and... writing songs!

    Teuffel, Ruokangas, Spalt, Sergio and Tausch, what the guitar builders have to say about The Guitar Channel

    In January 2021, we were still in lockdown mode all over the world so there was no Winter NAMM that year. So I decided to do a live interview with several of the best and most original luthiers in Europe:









    * Tania and Michael Spalt (spaltinstruments.com)







    * Uli Teuffel (teuffel.com)







    * Juha Ruokangas (ruokangas.com)







    * Adriano Sergio from Ergon Guitars (ergonguitars.com)







    * Rainer Tausch (tausch-guitars.de)









    Here is what they said spontaneously at the end of the interview. I was touched and honored by their good words about my work as an interviewer. Thanks guys, you rock!







    The full video of the interview with the group is available in this article.

    Cem Ocek from Ocek Guitars interview with a Turkish builder with some cool new shapes

    Cem Ocek from Ocek Guitars interview with a Turkish builder with some cool new shapes

    Cem Ocek (ocekguitars.com) is a Turkish luthier based in Germany who offers very original guitar shapes. Here he is in Zoom interview to present his Synapse and Puduhepa models. He has a very original approach to guitar design.







    The results are some cool instrument shapes very far from the usual LP or S style shapes we see over and over on the market, even in the boutique guitar field. So congratulations to Cem for breaking new grounds and show a new proposition in the domain.

    MIDI pedalboard configuration to drive your guitar software on a computer

    MIDI pedalboard configuration to drive your guitar software on a computer

    In this CAM or CAG gear chronicle (as you prefer), we tackle with Guillaume Jeulin from Blue Cat Audio (bluecataudio.com) a subject that usually makes guitarists run away: MIDI! Don't worry, we're not going to talk about guitar synthesizers but about configuring and using a pedal board to drive via MIDI what's happening on your guitar software on your computer.















    In this review, we use a Line6 pedalboard (line6.com/foot-controllers/) model FBV3. The principle is the same whatever the pedalboard you will use.
