David Lamkins
http://lamkins-guitar.com/music/home
David Lamkins picked up his first guitar a long time ago. As best he can recall the year was 1967: the year of the Summer of Love. Four decades later David has conjured up an amalgam of folk, rock and jazz solo guitar music for the occasional intimate Portland audience.

Welcome!

Welcome to my music site. Here you'll find articles I have written about guitar gear, the music industry, live sound, improvisation, and many other topics of interest to guitarists. You'll also find a selection of recordings, most of them live.

I'm always adding new content. See the recent articles list in the sidebar.

New Location, New Look

I moved this site to its own domain in July 2008. If you're a visitor to the old site, you've been redirected here; please note that the URL has changed. You will reach this page at http://lamkins-guitar.com/.

I've redesigned the appearance of the site for a cleaner, less-cluttered look. The navigation is mostly unchanged and should be familiar to visitors of the old site.

Navigation Hints

  1. iPhone and iPod Touch users can scroll the article content using two fingers.
  2. Click the gray divider between the top section and the content section (or click the title just above the content) to scroll the top section out of the way. (This won't work with Internet Explorer 6.)

Permanent Links

Feel free to publish links to any article on this site. Please copy the gray link at the very top of this page. The gray link will be different from the link in your browser's location bar, but is more concise and more likely to work in the future.

Removed Content

My amp-building articles are offline.

Compatibility with Old URLs

You should be able to go directly to the proper article, content list or search results using old URLs like the following:

Old links to images won't work.

Problems?

I've been careful to program the site using standard HTML, CSS and Javascript. This site should be usable on all modern browsers.

Modern browsers include current versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera and iCab. Camino works except for a few minor layout issues. Internet Explorer 6 mostly works, but is still a thorn in every web developer's side because we have to jump through hoops to make it sort-of work; would y'all please upgrade?

If you encounter any problems, I'd appreciate your taking a moment to send me an email with a description of the problem and the URL that you typed or linked from (which will probably be different from the URL displayed in your browser's location bar.) If there's an issue regarding layout or rendering, I'd appreciate a screen clipping of the affected area if you can manage it; if not, I'd still appreciate a report with the best description you can provide.
