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.

    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here  
    • RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
    • Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark
    • Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?
