Below is a link to the segment on X-Play about customizing guitar faceplates. It turned out well enough that they want to do another one. Hope you dig it.

As promised, below is the link to the instructional video to make your own custom Rock Band tambourine or cowbell controller for the XBox 360. I can tell you from experience that they really enhance the game and I think make it easier and more fun. (Note that during the segment, the lag was off on the TV on stage and I could barely hit a note.)

Also, the vinyl jeans I'm sporting during the segment are actually practical in the sense that they breathe, unlike leather, and they also repel any liquid. If you spill a drink, it will roll of your pants. And if you look really close, I think you can see my junk...

It's no secret that I like to mod things -- from my car to my kustom kruiser bike (complete with GPS) or my killer pad which has all sorts of special "mod"ifications.

Anyway, the fine folks at "X-Play," well, Adam Sessler actually, asked me to do a segment for the show where I explain step-by-step how to turn an XBox 360 controller into a tambourine that works with Rock Band. I even made a cowbell that functions the same way.

Playing tambourine feels so much more real with one of these in your hands. Check out the photo in my pics section.

I'll be on "X-Play" on G4TV on Monday, March 24th, so check your local listings or set the DVR or Tivo. Following the segment, I'll demo them live in studio for Adam and Morgan, which will kick ass. I'll be dressed to rock... so please be kind with any comments... my vinyl pants are hella tight.

As someone who is very close to finishing expert vocal tour with my character "Gorrissey" (my band is Chris Gore's Lovespray), using these custom controllers makes the game so much more fun. Hope you dig the segment. I'll post the video once it goes live. I have had so many people offer money to make a tambourine for them, but it's really very simple, costs less than $20 and takes about 10 minutes start to finish. And it's so kick-ass you will be the envy of your friends! I am. Well, my friends also call me the "Martha Stewart of Geeks" which... I think is a good thing?

And now it is time to jam out with your clam out!
