Pink – Sober

Click Here For The GuitarTutee Tabs.

I don’t wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl who never wants to be alone
I don’t wanna be that call at four o’clock in the morning
‘Cause I’m the only one you know in the world that won’t be home

Aahh, the sun is blinding
I stayed up again
Oohh, I am finding
That’s not the way I want my story to end
[Sober Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ]
I’m safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party’s over?
No pain
Inside
You’re my protection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I don’t wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence…
The quiet scares me ’cause it screams the truth
Please don’t tell me that we had that conversation
When I won’t remember, save your breath, ’cause what’s the use?

Aahh, the night is calling
And it whispers to me softly, “come and play”
Aahh, I am falling
And if I let myself go, I’m the only one to blame

I’m safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party’s over?
No pain
Inside
You’re like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I’m comin’ down
Comin’ down
Comin’ down
Spinnin’ round
Spinnin’ round
Spinnin’ round
Looking for myself.. Sober

Comin’ down
Comin’ down
Comin’ down
Spinnin’ round
Spinnin’ round
Spinnin’ round
Looking for myself.. Sober

When it’s good, then it’s good, it’s so good, ’till it goes bad
Till you’re trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry
Never again
Broken down in agony
And just trying to find a friend

I’m safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party’s over?
No pain
Inside
You’re like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I’m safe

Blue October – My Never

Click Here For The GuitarTutee Tabs.

Will you think of me,
In time?
It’s never my luck,
So nevermind.
I wanna say your name,
But the pain starts
again,
It’s never my luck,
So nevermind.

Chorus:
I had a dream that you were with me ,
It wasn’t my fault,
You rolled me over,
Flipped me over,
Like a somersault.
And that doesn’t happen to me.
I’ve never been here before.
I saw forever in my never,
And I stood outside her
Heaven.

Will you wait for me,
In time,
It’s never my luck,
So I’ll say nevermind.
And I’ve lost a lot of what I
Don’t expect to ever return.
I tend to push them ’til the pushing’s gone from
hurtin’ to burn,
I always take them to that place i thought they wanted
To go.
Than end up dancing ’round,
This clown commands
Applause at a show…..

Chorus:
I had a dream that you were with me,
And it wasn’t my fault.
You rolled me over,
Flipped me over,
Like a somersault.
And that doesn’t happen to me,
I’ve never been here before.
I saw forever in my never,
And I stood outside her
Heaven.
Her heaven.
Inside her heaven. Her heaven…..

And I could only dream of you and sleep,
but I’ll never see sunlight again.
I can try to be with you,
but somehow I’ll end up just losing a friend.
I can only reach for you,
Relate to you.
I’m losing my friend.
Where did she go?
Where?

Chorus:
I had a dream that you were with me,
It wasn’t my fault.
You rolled me over,
Flipped me over,
Like a somersault.
And that doesn’t happen to me.
I’ve never been here before.
But I saw forever in my never,
And I stood outside her
Heaven.
I stood outside her heaven.
I stood outside her heaven.
Won’t you let me into your heaven?

Low wattage guitar amp – Mack GEM

Low wattage guitar amp – Mack GEM

The new Mack GEM is out, and I have played it quite a bit over the weekend. This low wattage tube amp is very cool. First of all, it looks killer! My friend asked if it had been built my smurfs. Well, it sure is small. Our daughter thought it was a lunch box. Keep the jokes coming if want, but it delivers plenty of grit and volume; even the smurfs might have to run for cover when you crank this baby.

The Mack GEM is available as a head, or as a combo. I have the head version, and I also have a matching Mack 1×10 open back cabinet, which houses an Eminence Ragin Cajun. This cabinet is very well built, and super handy. I will likely use this little cabinet with other amps as well, since it’s so portable and sounds really nice.

Mack Gem Specifications

• 4 watts switchable to 0.4 watts
• 1 - EL84 cathode biased, Class A
• 1 - NOS 6AC10 triple triode preamp tube
• Solid state rectifier
• Switchable preamp gain stages 
• Volume, gain, tone controls
• Speaker output: 8 ohms

 Gem Head

• Anodized aluminum, red cabinet
• 8″ W x 5 1/2″ H x 4″ D
• 117/120 VAC, 60 Hz
• 4 lb

Gem Combo

• 10″ Eminence Ragin Cajun ceramic magnet speaker
• Medium density fibre board (MDF), glued, screwed and power nailed
• Black tolex
• 117/120 VAC, 60 Hz
• 14″ W x 16″ H x 8″ D (same cabinet as the 1×10 OB speaker)
• 20 lb.

The Gem has a power switching circuit that changes its single EL84’s power output from 4 watts to 0.4 watt. You might be thinking, 4 watts must be too “weak” for most people. Well, I will tell you, this 4 watt tube amp can be LOUD, if you want it to. I can easily play smaller gigs with this amp.

I have so far played this amp with 3 guitars – my Squier Tele, my Michael Kelly Patriot Shadow and my Suhr Classic. I get classy tones with all three. I find that I can coax some big EL84 tones out this 4 watter, very similar to my Mack Heatseeker 18 watt amp, only at lower volume. The Mack GEM has big tones, even though it is small.

Another particularly interesting feature in this amp is the switchable pream gain selector. The Gem features a NOS 6AC10 preamp tube, which is a triple triode tube. The three tube sections in the Gem’s 6AC10 provide some interesting preamp flexibility:

1. Low gain mode. Two of the sections are paralled and cascaded into the third. This provides warmth and touch sensitivity with extra gain from the third stage.
2. High gain mode. Flip the Preamp switch and the three triode sections are cascaded one into the other. This produces higher gain rock tones quite different from any other Mack amp.
3. Power amp AND preamp distortion. As you turn up the gain control, adjust the volume control and you can dial in preamp distortion or power amp distortion or both at the same time. This is available at any volume level.

Video

Enough talk, you probably want to hear what it sounds like? So, I recorded a video the same they day I received the amp, have a look. This is me playing the amp for the very first time. I wanted to capture the moment on video – I had no idea what to expect, and you can see how I’m turning knobs and finding tones as I go. I used my Suhr Classic, plugged straight into the GEM, without using any pedals or effects.

In the next video below, I demonstrate how the sound doesn’t change as you switch from 4 watts down to 0.4 watts. It just gets quieter, and the tone remains unchanged. Very cool. I am using my Squier Tele and Michael Kelly Patriot Shadow on this video.
