this is it? I expected something truly epic and full of win and shredding.

Speed picking has always been a noticeable void in my playing. But this vid inspired me a couple of months back to give it a decent shot, maybe it will do so for others liking that sort of thing.

I'm not into Buckethead, but I heard this song the other day and really liked it.

Whenever I think of Buckethead song I imagine random heavy parts mixed in with ultra-offbeat emotional riffs.

Same here. I think of weird atonal noodling. I can't really get interested in it.

I'm not so much into Yngwie's music but respect him a bunch.

I never heard that song but it rocked. I like when he does more bluesy stuff and just adds the neoclassical stuff for a bit of spice.

I think my next electric will be a fixed bridge so I can do more alternate tunings. I only have floating trems at the moment. Speaking of drop D, my favourite classical guitarist playing a piece by my favourite classical guitar composer. In DROP D

It's just a bitch if it's locked undoing those nuts with an allen key going back and forth between tuning.

Bildi · « **Reply #18 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:00:32 PM »

I just mean you can't do a quick alternate tuning or drop D on the spot unless the trem is blocked.

Keaggy's the master of using acoustic guitar and effects and downtuning mid song to do a bass line and so much else. You owe it to yourself to check him out, guitards.

Adrian Legg is so technically good he makes me sick. Disregard the genre and watch what he's actually doing. There are better examples, but I can't spend much time on Youtube because of my mobile bandwidth cap. He gets really crazy in some songs, using the tuning heads to play instead of frets at some points.

Leave the bottom E and A unlocked.

Drop it and fine tune on the tremelo.

I'm reminded of another acoustic great, Tommy Emmanuel (song starts around 3:00-3:30).

Are you using a fully floating trem where you have to retune all strings, or a trem that just goes down where retuning one string doesn't affect the others?

If you are retuning on a fully floating trem, you are indeed a determined and patient fellow!

Tell me about some of your favourite gear, boritos. I still love playing my main electric, an Ibanez. I got it in 1997 after much penny-pinching.

muckhole · « **Reply #33 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:40:01 AM »

I miss my old Les Paul, which was stolen a few years back and never replaced. I'm still bouncing between my new Parker and my Godin hybrid electric, and a no-name classical. I've recently downgraded my amp, as I'm not doing live shows at the moment and haven't in a bit, and had a friend who needed one badly, so I swapped him my Marshall head and cabinet for his Peavy Bandit and some cash. I figure I'll pick up another Marshall cabinet down the road if I need it, or look into something completely different. The Line 6 stuff has always intrigued me.

Eh, I'd stay far far away from that crap.

Would you be looking to get tube or solid state and how much would you spend?

Not sure yet, more a hypothetical situation at this point, if I start doing live gigs again. I haven`t checked much into the Line 6 heads and cabs yet, but a few folks I know have had decent experiences with them.

I know some people who use them but every time I've tried them they feel like shoddy craftsmanship.

muckhole · « **Reply #39 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:22:59 PM »

Interesting. Yeah, I`ve never played one myself, but I`ve been curious just based on second-hand accounts.

Bildi · « **Reply #40 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:24:36 PM »

I think the Line 6s are worth a look, but I have to agree a couple of people I know who have tried them have not been over the moon. I never tried them much myself.

Peavey Bandits are frickin' awesome. I've had one for I don't know how long and they're awesome for at home.

A friend of mine picked up a Hughes & Kettner head a while back after searching for a few years for his tonal nirvana, and I must admit, it sounds pretty darn amazing. Kind of expensive, although it does have very pretty lights which has to be worth at least a grand or two.

If you've got pics of your new Parker and the Godin I'd love to see them sometime.

muckhole · « **Reply #41 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:36:01 PM »

Here's the Parker, it's a pic I've posted before, taken the night it was given to me. Mine's the burgundy on the left, friend kept the charcoal on the right. He picked me up one as a gift.

I don't have any pics of my Godin on hand, but she's a bit weather-beaten. It was my primary guitar for live shows in the early 2000's. Missing a tone knob that I have yet to replace. I'll snap a pic tonight if I have time.

Bildi · « **Reply #42 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:39:43 PM »

Shiiiiiit, that's nice. How do you find the sound compared to say your old Les Paul?

(Sorry that was stolen BTW

)

muckhole · « **Reply #43 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:42:55 PM »

Pretty nice. It weighs nothing, yet gets the deeper tones that I tend to like quite well. The weight was actually the weirdest part of it for me, having always owned/played heavier guitars.

Did you not wind up picking up a cheap acoustic, Meth? I thought I remembered you mentioning that you were planning to.

I was but everytime I pick up this really old acoustic I have I get turned off because it's so hard to play because of the bridge

$:-\$

also one of my friends is a Yngie fan so I've seen that Blue video before but it's still a classic.

Bildi · « **Reply #52 on:** June 17, 2009, 06:35:37 PM »

I guess so, but I was just thinking of the sweet, sweet sounds that can come out of a bass when you play more than a single note line and was reminded of that vid.

I love this vid of Yngwie showing his guitars.

Everyone always says "OMG how can he just drop that rare strat?!" He's Yngwie noobs, he does WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS.

Rubina is one of my favourite songs of his too. I think this was one of the first 'hard' songs I learned, I practiced for so long I think I can still remember that little legato riff in the middle note for note. Everyone learns Always With Me Always With You first, but I think this is an even nicer song.

Do you still listen to his stuff Zero? I haven't bought the last CD as I'm a little unimpressed but I thought Super Colossal was some of the best stuff he's ever done.

I don't know if it was me or him, but I kind of lost track after Time Machine.

You love Rubina too?

I believe that is his wife's name and it is a beautiful song, especially live.

I can't take much of the recorded(canned) shit anymore. Live is where it's at with these guys.

Bildi · « **Reply #57 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:42:48 PM »

I waned for a long time too, but Super Colossal was full of great hooks, I was a little blown away I admit. In any case, nobody rocks live like Satch live. Even if it's a song I don't like, it's still awesome live.

One of my faves from that era (bitchin' live orchestra version):

[youtube=560,345]9IrWyZ0KZuk[/youtube]

Mildly amusing story: I had this DVD on a while ago and my mum was visiting. I said "doesn't this sound great" and she said, "yeah, I don't like that song". I was mildly shocked because I had no idea she didn't like it. I butchered it for years in my bedroom when I was younger, and all that time my poor mum had to endure a song she doesn't even like.

That's probably why she hates it.
