My Own Website - Mainly For Musicians


Recommended Posts

Well, I thought I'd take advantage of Mark's comfy new lounge, settle into a chair, and introduce my own website:

 

http://www.willflyguitar.com/

 

I've been playing for 50 years and music is a major part of my life - when it's not watches, of course! So, if you play music, or just like music, you might find something to interest you -and it's all free!

 

I'm sure you've also noticed, from Mark's earlier videos, that he plays some very nice piano - anyone else strum, blow, pick, bang...? :rock:

Nice one Will.

 

I actually cracked out my guitars this week as my son said he wanted to learn. So I was teaching him a few things and at the same time trying not to let on that my fingers were in pain lol. I haven't played for over a year and so the leather that used to be my finger tips is now baby soft.

 

Still it was good to play again - I missed it.

 

A friend of mine has invited me to accompany him to a song writers evening in Grimsby this Monday so I am looking forward to that.

 

BTW - I watched your latest vid last night and loved it - well done. For anybody who has not seen Wills Youtube channel yet, check it out as he really is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG3dUiZm8-2ZSSq5YfqSPA

Thats a very interesting website Will and it's good of you to take the trouble to pass on what you have learnt,  much easier to learn from an expert, than the hard way.

 

Not having any musical ability myself, I am in awe of people who do.  I still entertain hopes of becoming a drummer (even though I do not own a drum kit) and dream of becoming the next Don Henley. Anyone willing to offer free or very cheap lessons in North Wales please get in touch.

Excellent - how old is your son, by the way? I didn't start playing until I was 20 - so the younger the better.

Excellent website Will.

I retired in September last year and bought myself a six string guitar, so apart from refurbishing watches, I have been attempting to learn how to play Blues. Up to now I have had more success with the watches, but I am slowly getting there with the guitar. I'll definitely be visiting your website now that I know it exists.

Hi Geo - lots of blues instruction videos on my YouTube channel.

    • I think if you want to play Billy big b.ollocks then you have to have something up your sleeve, anyone that knows how to fight, plays dirty. Lets face it a lot of folk that voted for Brexit just rolled uk their sleeves to say up yours EU hoping for good changes. We have idiots for leaders and probably none of them clever enough to clean the shitty stick they were given. I didnt vote, what will be will be.
    • I voted leave too, my reasoning was the the EU is undemocratic, no elected officials. I don't regret it but I  am sad that both sides acted like petulant toddlers.  Shameful.  I'm not on other forums but if I was and left this site, would you shun me? Of course not, we aren't petulant toddlers.  
    • This is a type of tool that may be suitable to remove the bezel - though note that I'm pretty sure the watch should be face down - not face up, as in some of the photos of these tools on amazon & ebay! If you try one one of those, put the movement screws back in first to avoid accidents. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Removal-Professional-Remover-Watchmaker-Diameter/dp/B09XCH4QVN?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A296NCMMFVXSDN&th=1  
    • Hi, I’m constantly asking my wife to help me with removing the stem in order to complete casing. To expand, this is not a challenge for me when the setting lever is secured by a screw (older calibers). However when the setting lever is attached to a spring loaded setting lever axel, like on more modern calibers, I simply don’t see how to apply enough pressure on the button to get the stem out short of putting the movement face down with the dial and hands attached, which I’m loath to do in order to avoid damaging the dial/hands? what technique should I be using? thanks  
    • Many thanks for your advice (being borne in mind at present) & offer Dell. When I was given the clock the plastic anchor was loose on the arbour (it had split at the 'hole') &, after repairing this, I have been trying to determine whether the spindle (pin) should be perpendicular when the pallet is sitting on a flat surface; or whether, when installed, its L-R extremes (or alternatively its tick & tock points) should lie at equal angles from the vertical when moved with spring absent. I can get the clock to run but in every such configuration the top block has to be turned anti-clockwise (from above) by quite a bit in order to be 'in beat' & it always runs fast (despite the pendulum being set to as slow as possible). This makes me wonder if there is any particular feature of/fault in a torsion spring clock which determines which turn direction (if any) is necessary to get it 'in beat'; & whether there would be a different set of settings that would get it running nearer to time at somewhere around the mid timing/inertia position which would then allow tweaking of the fast/slow setting.
