Blues and Jazz Off Topic/Chat Thread!

For Irish Whiskey, I can't recommend Jameson's enough. And Glenlivet 15 yo is some of the smoothest single malt Scotch I've ever had. I've got just a little bit left and I'm saving it for a special occasion. Oh, and it should be drunk straight, no ice. Ice kills the taste of a good malt.
I was referring to blended scotches, btw.

I've not had a single on the rocks.

on an unrelated note, on top of getting my filthy mitts on the new Bonamassa album, I got an album by the Steepwater Band

who I would highly recommend, especially if you really like Gov't Mule

[djrue211]

Cuervo=Chihuahua piss

Yes. Cuervo should only be used for margaritas, not for straight drinking. There are so much better tequilas out there like El Tesoro de Don Felipe or Don Julio.

Or the Goldtop. If it has P90s.
Goldtop with P90s = Orgasmic tone.


And Goolz, that is the best kind.

[imgooley]

It's so terrible. :haha


Also: Don't go with something boring. Get an ES-135, or a Gretsch. Gretshc's are winz0rz.

Holy crap I just came back from my first gig ever. I'm a very humble guy, but this time we damn rocked the place :eek:! We played at a festival, for like 100 - 200 people I think. We played like 8 songs, and then a very known local punk band played.

Lots of people told us that we were awesome, and one guy told me that although my tone was awful (low volume), I was amazing :eek:!
Also the known band told us that we were great.
I screwed up a bit, but for the first gig, it was damn great. I'm going to try to find some pics and videos in the following days.
Also, it was weird but for some reason I wasn't as nervous as I thought that I'd be :confused:.

good work! im reading this book on performance anxiety that really helps...its called 'the inner game of music'

[slidething31]

On the topic of anxiety: I am firmly of the opinion that anxiety in general can be overcome with some mental training.

Doctors need to stop prescribing drugs because little Jimmy gets nervous.

[MrBlues]

yer defiantly agree, but the books also about enhancing performance from within its really good.

Ok here are pics.
I'm the fat bastard with the curly hair :D. Although the drummer is really small (13 years old), he is a damn good drummer. Everyone was shocked by him. The others are 15 and 16. I'm 20 years old.

Languages are pretty cool, I used to have quite the ear for languages, but my brain seems to have filled up T_T

I have Spanish in school, but it just won't sit. I guess I should start actually working the class, might learn something. ;)

But, when you're actually fluent in that language, it's just not the same anymore. It just feels natural, and not like a different one.

[urik]

By the way guys, do you know that Gary Moore got his legendary Les Paul at the price of an SG? Peter Greeen told Gary to sell his guitar, and gave him his Les Paul for the price of the SG :eek:. The man was worth it IMO, but still, LUCKY BASTARD!

[Jackal58]

Me too on the body betrayal and the playing - I'm getting arthritis in my finger joints, left elbow, and left shoulder (after an injury to the CV joint).
I got arthritis in my knees hips and spine. :) The sins of my youth came home to roost early.
What's yer name Oldy? I'm Don.
I wish I could play the blues, too :(

All I do is wankery that sounds funny :(

:sad:

Oh, and I'm teh young gun :)
Your wankery doesn't sound as funny as mine. Pup. :p:
I will try to get one of our Friday night jams video taped. It ain't the blues but damn we have a good time.

[strawforest007]

That's a nice looking guitar! I love double cutaways on a hollowbody. I can't help thinking that the soundhole looks lonely without it's symmetrical buddy! Although, slap a silver bigsby on it then I'd want to own it. Maybe after I've bought the other 10's of guitars on my 'to get' list first...

They do make one with P 90's.

And I don't know how I feel about buying online. Everything I've ever read about Reverend is great, but I'd still feel nervous. I might end up ordereing one anyway though...

[imgooley]

^I just bought an amp online. Should be here in a few hours.

[slidething31]

^ Guitars are a bit different though, don't ya think?

What amp is it that you bought?

[Carswell98]

ooohh what kind man?

[JilaX^]

I got my Roundhouse online, gorgeous guitar.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a48/Evil_Elf91/IMG_1296.jpg

Plays VERY WELL, good pick ups. All around a great guitar. The Bridge pick up wasn't quite hot enough for me so I exchanged it, but other then that I'm completely satisfied by it. It was perfectly intonated straight out of the box...

(Heck, it killed my GAS for other guitars for a year.)

It's one of the brands where buying online isn't anything to be afraid of :haha

[imgooley]

ooohh what kind man?
It's a surprise :p:


But

[Carswell98]

nooo,

give me a hint, what is the wattage?







that is pretty sexy man, that is actually the model I want

[imgooley]

30 watts. 2x5881, 5x12AX7 w/ tube driven reverb.

[slidething31]

That roundhouse is sweet looking man. I guess I'll probably just bite the bullet and order online. The only guitar I've ever bought online was my 15 year old strat, and that was just because it was really cheap.

But yeah, Reverend seem to be a pretty well kept secret as far as electrics go.

[Carswell98]

Indeed.

Which means we get to keep it to ourself :D

The Bass Countour Feature, is fantastic as well.
It allows you to thin out your tone or really beef it up. Great control for your tone.

Happy New Upcoming Amp Day Goolz!

I'm dying to ditch my squier, and get something with great tone

[JilaX^]

So is mine man, so is mine.
You could always go for a Squier Classic Vibe 50's ot 60's model? They're supposed to be fantastic for the price.

most tone for the buck :p:


if I find a freaking job sometime this decade I'll probably look at a reverend

or a schecter, I always thought they only made EMG equipped br00talz machines, but they have some sexy guitars with really nice electronics for the price

[JilaX^]

Hehe, sounds like a plan.

I won't have a job till this summer :eek:

I'll probably just borrow some cash from my mom, get one of those Fender Classic 50's Stratocasters. Get the last one that has the old price, or something....

does bugera even make an amp with less than a bagillian watts?

[JilaX^]

Probably not :haha

[Carswell98]

Probably not :haha


upon further investigation, the lowest output a bugera amp is offered in is 120 watts


highest


3600W!! :confused: :haha:



that is so unbelievably excessive

[JilaX^]

If not it would literally blow peoples minds, Tenacious D style.

Hey, do you know what Pony Blues is tuned to? I figure it'd be easier to figure out if I knew what it was tuned to :haha

Also: Want to hear some acoustic slide?

[ze monsta]

Pony Blues as in Charley Patton? Not sure I'll work it out.

Spoonful Blues is the only song he recorded in Open E, I think. That kinda cancels that out.

I'm gonna guess Open F. Sounds right.

[imgooley]

I was thinking it'd be something stupid that I normally don't use :haha

Yeah, Charley Patton. I've been listening to a lot of him and Tommy McClennan lately.

Open F as in F A C F A C, right?

[ze monsta]

F-A-C-F-C-F

I think? Dunno, I don't use it often.

[imgooley]

Well, When the Levee Breaks (the Led Zeppelin version) is FACFAC, so that's what I always thought it was. That tuning seems like it'd have a nice voice to it, though.

[ze monsta]

From what I've read, there are many variations on Open F :haha

strings that everyone always pressure me into using, 11's


I liked my 9's but I figured it'd shut a few of my friends up if I at least tried it

[Jackal58]

Oh ok. I guess I've been a "big boy" for a long time. Most peeps don't like the heavy gauges.
I like to play 9s on the E B and G and 11s on the D A E but I keep breaking the E and B so I just put the 11s on.
I gotta go. It's a long ride home. :sad: I won't be back on til Monday. :cry: Ya'll have a great weekend. :wavey:

actually that is the same type of strings I use normally, ernie ball hybrids, 9's on the E B G and 10's on the E A D

[imgooley]

I R jealous. :mad:
You like? :)

I use 11's on the harmony and Ibanez, and 12's on the strat :o. Sometimes 13's. Or flatwounds. Depends on how I feel.

I also tune low, sometimes, though.

[Carswell98]

I have small hands, I've always found it hard to use anything over a 9, except when I play slide, I use 12's o my Teisco













Oh man do I miss being drunk, I haven't drank in a while, I've forgotten how awesome being tanked is...

[strawforest007]

I use 9's. I always have. I too have small hands. I've used 10's before but always found 9's more comfortable for me. 10's are on my pink acoustic though!

I'm not mad on Gin but Sloe Gin is a winner

Goolz, that recording was good. :) The playing and the sound quality. Not sure who it reminded me off though? :confused:

Just uploaded a couple of tracks to my profile, from my bands demo. Recorded 5 tracks in a weekend at a local studio. We're all pretty happy with it (The sound quality and TOANZ are diminished in the mp3form you have to upload here, ofc).

Sweet Home Chicago, I do most of the guitar work, except for a lot of the fills, the very last solo and some rythm guitar on solos. First guitar solo is me, in other words.

Troubled Wife = Original, I do all the Guitar work.

Some feedback would be very nice, on guitars band stuff, song writing, anything at all.

And, keep in mind it was all recorded live, without a click track. So we might not be 100% tight.

Yeah, me too. I've had it for ages, but had a period of not using it much.
Can't even remember when I got the invite :haha

There's so much great stuff on there.
Surprising amount of Son House and others.

What are we talking about?



Also: I've nailed the Black Keys tone, almost. Well, as close as I can get without being Dan. :)

[JilaX^]

Spotify.
Great program with pretty much any music you want.
It's like itunes, but free.
Amazing, a HUGE library of tunes streamed right to your pc.

I haven't really encountered there being any artists that they don't have.
(Except for AC/DC, Zeppelin and The Beatles. For Copyright Reasons)

What's the rig you're using for him like?

^Remember: You can't download. :p:

He runs a few different things in stereo.

His live tone when I saw them was a Tweed Bassman and a JMP. I've seen vids of 2 Tweed Bassmen, an Ampeg B12 and a Bassman, a Supro and an Ampeg, a Hiwatt DR103 and something else, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
