Here's mine. As usual, I didn't know this one before. I wasn't going to post, but I listened to it today and I didn't hate it as much as I did last nite. And hopefully I'll continue with it during the month and improve.
Oh, that was better, sounds more thought-out. Familiarity with the tune helps, of course. No one's that good the first time. The blues sounds were good, suits the tune, I think.
Out of curiosity, what were the Garrison Fewell tips you were using, roughly? Not that I want to copy them or anything but for interest's sake.
It's one of the study threads in the Improvisation forum. It's to do with triads w/extensions to create lines. It's something I've been interested in for awhile now, but never found anything I seemed to "get". His book "A Melodic Approach" looked good and has really made sense to me so far.
I’ve signaled this before, now for real: the TOOB/Metro cab business needs a successor/partner. Why: I’m 77 and beginning to feel it. I’d have to continue another 13 years until my elder son, the...
I enjoy Julian Lage’s playing. He is a blessed musician with immense talent. I am a lover of acoustic music and like his acoustic playing much more than the electric. He is great with the electric as...
That could be a part of it, altho it's not that simple.... for example, the Swart is stiffer than my Hot Cat, but the Hot Cat is solid-state rectified. I suspect it has "sag resistors" which are...
I’m thinking the Fishman is not the best amp for this application and the line out flavored your tone.
A nice quality Deluxe style tube amp or a Princeton style amp would work great plus you have...
Idem; I got it into my head that the saddle lean (I thought I) observed couldn't be good for the tone, plus the slots were all quite deep to my taste (except for the 6th where the saddle had been...
That is what I have found too in other amps. EL34s do have a mid range focus and perhaps a tighter bass and later break up than a 6L6. Regardless it is fun to be able to swap power tubes without a...
Very true, but you could lose a fair amount of gain, and you mentioned that that is what you're going for. I've found that using the guitar's tone control takes the edge off very effectively while...
Well, "smoother" sounds good... sometimes a 5751 "takes the edge off" a 12AX7, which can be good for the high end part of the gain, making it less strident.
There was this thread at the Gear Page

People seem quite pleased with those new Epis. What if they did a "new" Epi ES-175 ?
