[Dimebag22]

Yeah, Braedon is insane. He's never online when I am but we live in the same city.. I always see him post at like 4am.

Insomnia may not=insanity

but Braedon=Insane ;)

I wasn't just talking about the insomnia there buddy. ;)

[GD_GC]

Doesn't Braedon go to school or something? How can he stay up all one day and sleep the next? I thought he was in college right now.

But on another note, this thing that says who looked at your profile thing is sweet, but I'm a little concerned. This one dude who keeps bugging me to put my acoustic "Little Wing" as downloadable on myspace has been to my profile 3 times today. That's kind of creepy.

i don't like it. there are a few people who keep looking at my profile, and i have no idea who they are! i would look at their profile to see who they are, but i don't want to encourage them. They'll add me on msn, and the conversation will go like this:

Stalker: Hey
Neil: Hi
Stalker: hows u?
Neil: Great
Stalker: So, do you like UG?
(25 minutes later)
Neil: bye

Bueno people.

Just got back from the Keys show. Got the setlist.... and a few nice pics.

[Jimmy94]

The keys put on an awesome show... I think I've seen them maybe 5 or 6 times now. The crowds at the hometown shows in Akron are awesome :cool:

i had that when i put my msn up on my profile, awkward, so i took my addy off my profile. the point where it got too far was when some 14 year old kid added me because i reported him in s&l and did some gangsta sp33k to me complaining :)

anyway, yesterday i ordered my tubescreamer-7 and vox v847 which i've been investigating for several months now!
i'm going to do the ts7 -> ts808 mod onto it so don't jump to conclusions ;)

when they arrive, i'll have my rig set up! finally! and i have no more money!

:dance:

[ze monsta]

Is the tubescreamer really that good?
Because I might think about checking it out in the future.
Who else used it apart from SRV? :p:

[imgooley]

A bunch of people use tubescreamers.......I just can't think of any

[Carswell98]

I only have classes tuesday wednesday thursday friday

[ze monsta]

That's what i thought, I mean, I've heard of loadsa people using em, but can't think of them right now...

MONSTA EDIT:

Bye girls, I'm off to jam for 8 fucking hours!

[Carswell98]

^SRV and John Mayer both used TS-808s I think

[nightraven]

yup, 808s or 9s, i can't remember. probably both at some point or another :p:

the 808 costs around 3 times more than the 7, but a simple mod can get the 7 to sound exactly like the 808 - profit!

what does it entail? because I can buy a Ts-7 for like $35.00

I had that as well! An 08er added me, and i had no idea who he was. He was younger than my little sister, so it felt weird to talk to him. But i don't know why he added me. He was a greenday fan, i hate greenday with a passion, he tried to steer the conversation towards junior high school, i, well, haven't felt the need to talk about junior high school for years.

Needless to say, i gave his email address to the paedo baiters

[nightraven]

the ts7s are pretty bad i heard, tone-wise, hence the cheap price, so it's not a good idea to get one if you're not going to mod it. the 'changing it to 808' process is very easy it seems, you just need to do some resoldering or something.

buy them all -> mod them to ts-808 specs -> sell them for $75 a piece -> profit!!!

[Carswell98]

I'm seriously considering it, my grandpa is an electrician so I'll have all the right tools for the job once I get back home

[nightraven]

start your own shop just selling modded ts7s :p:

you could live off it :dance:

on ebay i saw a modded ts7 going for 90$ or so ;)

[Carswell98]

If I had the technical knowhow to be making custom pedals, I would be doing so by now :sad:

Hey gools, can you fill me in on the keys setlist?

A friend and I are probably gonna take a road trip to see em.

BTW, Carswell, Every time I see you're avatar, It makes me poop a little. It creeps me out for some reason.

I'm in class right now, so when I get home, I'll put it up in the Black Keys thread

[gopherthegreat]

ive been getting into garage rock a LOT more lately. recomendations besides the white stripes and the black keys?

[ze monsta]

The Soledad Brothers, The Hives, The Vines, Detroit Cobras, The Dirtbombs, The Gories, The Screws, The Hiss, The Voltaire Brothers, The U-Boats, The White Panther Society, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Strokes, The Mooney Suzuki, Hot Hot Heat, The Von Bondies, The Datsuns (one of my favourite bands), Jet, Kings Of Leon (only look at the first album - the rest is ****ty indie music).


Enjoy finding their music, most of them are broken up already. :haha

[imgooley]

Add the Subways, The Sugars, The Redwalls, Nashville Pussy and Modest Mouse to that list.

Also, the Vines suck.

[ze monsta]

Yeah I know, but they're a garage band, a bad one at that. I went through about 3 months of liking them, my friends obsessed with them, and then I hated them. :p: But it was nothing to do with being individual, I'd just realised they were ****e. :haha

Heres a great Gories video:

My bad dude. Bad joke. didn't mean anything by it.

[Dimebag22]

All you people talking about Tubescreamers... Maxon OD 808s are way better than the TS808s in my opinion. I have a TS9 and a Od808 and have used many TS808s and I can tell you from experience that I like the tone I get on the Maxon way better.

Maxon was the original producer of Tubescreamers, they used the specs that Ibanez gave them and produced them under Ibanez's name. Then when they discontinued the TS808s, Maxon decided to use the specs of it and use it on their own pedal, The Maxon OD808. Even now, the Reissue TS808s aren't to specs of the original where as the Maxon OD808 is the exact specs of the famous pedal.

[imgooley]

Anyway............

[Jimmy94]

While I like tubescreamers, I've always preferred dialing in my ridiculous over the top tone into my amp and guitar, then adjusting the volume and tone to get quieter rhythm, all the way down to clean if I want. I enjoy fooling around with the knobs while I play too for some reason.

[imgooley]

So.......

Does anyone have anything interesting to say?

[Highbinder]

No, not really :(

[imgooley]

No, not really :(
God dammit....

John Mayer sux lololoololllol!!!!!111!!!!


? :confused:

[ze monsta]

I gotta do homework. :sad:

[Vagabond21]

Man... does anyone else enjoy playing guitar in the nude??? I like doing a lot of things nude... swimming, riding the 4 wheeler, not fishing though I'm scared I'll hook my penis.

Playin guitar nude is the best though

[ze monsta]

Dude... Not here. Please.

:haha

[Vagabond21]

Ok Ok sorry... adhd moment.

On another more important topic, I should be getting my pre-ordered TBK attack and release album sometime today.

Me = pumped

[ze monsta]

I might go and get me a copy, if I can find it...I think I'll have enough cash from yesterday...
I managed to spend like 15 quid, I should have only spent about 11...Damn!

[Highbinder]

Guitaring is nice in the nude apart from the initial discomfort of a cold guitar.

I also like doing things in the nude,

sex,
exercising,
reading,
bathing,
smoking,
eating,
sleeping,

[ze monsta]

Take it to The Pit, guys. :p:

[TheDev01dOne]

I'm back I think.. Was weird I kinda felt like I had a life.. Haven't posted for about 4 days.

Went on holidays to play sessions all weekend to raise money for a charity lifeboat. We ended up raising £1200 so it was quite good and everyone had fun anyway. Me and the GF had to sleep in this tiny tent that leaked water in the gale-force winds and pissing down rain whilst the rest of her family (even the dogs!) got to sleep in the massive brand new caravan. Was good to get away from them though, her family is annoying as hell.

Anyway I'm really bored so someone entertain me.

[imgooley]

Good morning all.

[TeXaS_db]

i had to read a book for school the other day and the book they assigned for us was "Bridge To Terabithia".
and i gotta say that book is great, very sad ending. first book that made me cry.

i never really liked reading books that much, but after reading that i actually dont mind it.
what other good books r out there, i know thats prolly a broad question, but what books did u enjoy reading. recommend me some books.

[imgooley]

I have to read a book called "The Botany of Desire" . not looking forward to it.

[ze monsta]

Pick up a copy of The Land Where The Blues Began by Alan Lomax, I'm reading it now, and it's really really good. Some great stories in there. I intend to read a lot more tonight, I started it on Sunday and am hooked.

[Carswell98]

right now I'm struggling to find some good sources for a history paper on the blues

damn you oral tradition!

:sad:

[Jimmy94]

I'm going to new orleans for a week tomorrow for the ACS (american chemical society) conference... the best part is I only have to present a poster for one day, then the week is mine!

[ze monsta]

right now I'm struggling to find some good sources for a history paper on the blues

You need books, or what? What dyou have to write about in your essay on blues exactly, I have a couple of books I could give you some info from? :peace:

[sre9981]

right now I'm struggling to find some good sources for a history paper on the blues

:sad:

Robert Palmer's Deep Blues and Paul Oliver's The Story of The Blues are my textbooks for my history of the blues class and are great books. We have another one by Paul Oliver, Screening the Blues but I haven't looked at it yet. My teacher has on many occasions stated that paul oliver is THE definitive source for legitimate blues history.

[Carswell98]

finding books isn't the problem unfortunately, it's finding books that have been peer reviewed that is the problem, which is next to impossible

Whats peer reviewed mean? :confused:

[Vagabond21]

Hey guys, I found out recently that my family and I are going to London, Paris, Normandy, and Italy.

I think we are spending the most time in London. Which leads me to this question, what is cool to see while there??? Are there any good guitar shops? Are there any cool places to see that have to do with music history other than the hard rock cafe??

[Vagabond21]

Whats peer reviewed mean? :confused:

I could be wrong, but I remember peer reviewing as being where another classmate reads your papers and tells you its strengths and weakness.

It sounds like poor carswell has been told it has quite a few weaknesses.

Denmark street is full of overpriced guitar/music shops, it's fun to look around but everything is wayyy expensive, anything you find there you can probably get cheaper somewhere else. Definitely check it out though.

And right near Denmark street there's the chinese restaurant "Lee Ho Fook's" which is the actual restaurant from the song "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon.. That was interesting Lol

[theneildeal]

in london, you can visit Hendrix's house. Im not entirely sure where it is, but its pretty famous. Ronnie Scott's is a must for any jazz fan, but expect a large bill! Also, check out Pizza Express just off Oxford street (i think) because that's where some big names in jazz play.

Abbey Road is a must for any music fan. Take a photo of yourself doing the beatles walk across the road, and post it on here!

[ze monsta]

I was explaining how to get to Denmark Street and stuff around the area, then my computer crashed, FFS!

MONSTA EDIT:

Here I go again.

Denmark Street is in Camden, and the nearest Tube (London Underground) stop is Tottenham Court Road, about 2-4 minutes walk away. Denmark Street is at the west side connected to Charing Cross Road, and on the east side St. Giles High Street, I think? Could be the other way round...

I wouldn't say they are overpriced, and usually do good deals, and because they are all next door to each other, it's not a problem finding what you want without travelling around! Expect to spend about 2-4 hours there though, if you're gonna look at everything and play the odd guitar...

The Pizza Express Jazz Club is supposed to be really good, but expensive, you can probably find similar kinda places in the area, but yeah, that's pretty well known.

To be honest, for Hard Rock Cafe, I think you have to book pretty far in advance? :confused: So theres little chance of getting a table.

[sinan90]

It's not only Hendrix's house but the same house Handel of Water Music fame lived I do believe.

[theneildeal]

yeah thats right

[Vagabond21]

thank you both for these ideas. Hendrix's house and abbey road sound like great ideas. Are there any places where the blues is played ???

[theneildeal]

Hmm, i can't think of any major places. To be honest, you might have to find some small unknown blues bars

But hey, im a northerner, so i don't know London that well! haha

[ze monsta]

Where are you staying?

yeah, I'm a Londoner.
My brother (who's 21) says most jazz clubs have a weekly blues night. And there are loadsa blues bars and jazz clubs or w/e around Oxford Street. I also recommend going to see "We Will Rock You" if you can get tickets...It's really good.

Absolutely!!! I loved it

But most importantly, buy tickets from the ticket booths round leicester square. DO NOT BOOK THE TICKETS ON THE INTERNET!! You can get half price tickets at these booths

[imgooley]

Mee too

[Dimebag22]

Sublime is awesome. We might be covering one of their songs at this Battle of the Bands that we are playing on April 20th.

That doesn't sound like good times at all. Or at least by the end.

Hey does anybody have an mp3 of Rainy Day Women by Bob Dylan that you can send me? My band wants to cover it and I don't have the song and don't wanna buy the entire album (now, I definitely will at some point).

Well I am on my sisters school lap top and she is in middle school, therefore the administrations logic goes "If we let them use msn then they will talk to pedophiles and we will get sued" or something like that. :rolleyes: So I can't actually use msn on it.

And my regular computer has dial-up. :(

And I am pirating internet from my neighbors in order to use the laptop. :)

airplane 1+2. ultimate comedy.

[TheDev01dOne]

Hmm classic movies..

Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, A Clockwork Orange, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Snatch, Fight Club, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Predator 1 (#2 sucks ass IMO), True Lies, Gone in 60 Seconds (The original is better than the remake), Battle Royale, Requiem For A Dream, The Boondock Saints.. Anything with Jackie Chan or Jet Li, their older sub-titled movies are way better than the newer stuff. Enter The Dragon, or Dragon the Bruce Lee story.

I could sit here all day naming good movies, that's one thing I really miss about home was our massive DVD collection, we had over 1500 when I left. Over here I have about 30, if that..

[ze monsta]

Vagabond, where are you staying in london?

[Vagabond21]

As fellow blues players you might appreciate this.

Yesterday, after work, I went to my towns mom and pop guitar store to check out some acoustic guitars. The old black man that is there every time I go with his Jack Daniels acoustic, was there again.

I was pickin around on an acoustic, and started playin a little moby dick by zeppelin. (even though the guitar wasn't in drop D, I'm lazy). He, at the moment had a bass plugged up, and without saying a word just started to jam with me. Then I played some RL burnside (alice mae) and we jammed some more. A little later he had grabbed his acoustic and we jammed to some hey joe by hendrix.
Afterwards, we talked at little and then he left. It was loads of fun, I've only jammed with him maybe once before and only for one song. (I think it was sweet home alabama but I dont remember)

Sorry if this was a pointless read, I just had a blast. I only have 2 other friends that play instruments (guitar) and who like the same music I do. And I rarely get to play with them :mad:

I wish I knew more people who played ANY instruments... :(

[Vagabond21]

Vagabond, where are you staying in london?


Not sure yet, this trip is a few months off.

TBH I dont care about seeing Paris. Normandy, London, and Italy sound cool though.

[ze monsta]

OK. Just thought it would be easier to tell you about wherever you were goin instead of the other side of the city.

And Paris is really nice, I've been there 3 or 4 times. The last time we went was for a few days with my brother's best friends family, who are french. And we went to this really nice restaurant, and the food was great, but no joke, it took 3 hours for them to actually bring the food. :haha We were told it would take some time... but it was well worth it. Ooooooh, I want food now. :( :liplick: :liplick: :liplick:

Are french people as rude as people say they are???

That might be just a stereotype.

On a funny sidenote...
When my aunt went a couple years ago, a french lady tried to steal her purse. My aunt promptly cussed her and proceeded to give her an old fashioned country girl beat down. From what I hear it was quite funny.

[ze monsta]

No. Italians are ruder, when I was in Florence, anybody you walked past would just barge into you. When I was staying in France on a home stay (with school) everybody seemed pretty nice, but the people we were staying with were real rich. :haha
We stayed in like, some mansion, and most people stayed in nasty flats. :p:

Interesting. If anyone bumps into me they might get the worse end of the deal. Im rather large (from playing american football for 6 years). I'm 5ft 10 220 lbs. Wait, yall use the metric system. I dont know what the = of that would be.
I might have to clear a path for my family. Haha jk. :devil:

[ze monsta]

No, in the UK at least, everyone (most people) talks about height in ft. and weight st.

You know how some people say they look like their dogs??? I own an english bulldog :D

I've just spent my whole life doing physical labor and working out and eating lots. Its mostly muscle, if you saw me you wouldn't say I'm fat. I get called "hoss" and "swoll" (swoll is a black people term) a lot. Thats why I don't like it when people argue with me on the internet, bc I know they'd never say it to my face. Sorry if this sounded arrogant. Didn't mean it that way, it's just who I am.

[Carswell98]

I just put up a new recording if anyone wants to have a listen

I did a medley of Joe Bonamassa's Django and Zeppelin's White Summer

[ze monsta]

That was really good Braedon!

I've been listening to Zappa with my dad, who saw in in '72 or '71, but he says he can't remember the year, or much about the concert. I didn't ask him if he was stoned. :haha I'm guessing he was.

[Carswell98]

That was really good Braedon!


thanks, it was pretty sloppy in places, but that is what happens when I improvise

[TheDev01dOne]

That was awesome man, what tuning is it in anyway? Would be a nice song to learn for open tuning/fingerpicking practice I think. Great work anyway, sounded sweet. Maybe a tad less gain next time though to make it a bit crisper?

[Carswell98]

thanks dude, yeah in retrospect I could have chosen a little better setting, but I was sort of going for the Joe Bonamassa tone, I should have cut the gain for the Zeppelin part


the Tuning is DADGAD, :headbang:

best tuning since standard. :p:

[ze monsta]

Nah, Open E or Open G is the best tuning since standard.

[Carswell98]

Oh and by the way, Braedon, that new song you put up is pretty fucking awesome, I love the tone you're getting!

[imgooley]

open G ftw

[Vagabond21]

open g is awesome

One of my fav songs to play in it is midnight rambler by the stones. actually now that I think about it theres a capo on the 4th or 6th fret so I guess its not open G any more :(

[Dimebag22]

Back shop at a golf course. So basically, taking the carts from the people and washing them down and parking them. Then cleaning the driving range from balls in a big machine. About 4 or 5 of my friends work there so it should be a good time. Hopefully they call me back and I can go for the interview :)

Good pay too. I think starting wage is around $9 or $10/hour.

[gopherthegreat]

that'd be awesome to get that job

[Dimebag22]

For sure man. Plus about 5 of my good friends work there too. It would be way better than my job I had last year... :mad: I hated it.

Never work at a place with fast food. Restaurants are ok, but not fast food :p: Horrible job. The people get mad at you for the most stupid stuff. I got yelled at because we were out of ketchup :(

well, I know some are awful, my best friend's sister worked at a little restaurant, and it was just stupid there, they were understaffed so they called her in at a moments notice, they had some of the rudest customers out there, and they were just bad in general.

she said it was hell.

[imgooley]

That is why I work warehouse.

[ze monsta]

My brother worked in MacDonalds :haha He said it was alright, because his manager was really cool, and just took the piss outta the chavs. :haha
And also, it was right next to a train station where all his friends live near, and most people from my school get off at, so anyone he knew, he just talked to them. But he said never, ever eat from there...coz you see what goes on whilst making it, and it's just gross...and he's some kinda fair trade freak. :p:

[TheDev01dOne]

Hospitality isn't a bad industry to get into, if you can get working for the right people, and get some good qualifications it's usually piss easy work for very good money. I worked in a big insudtry catering company for like 2 years, we ran 3 massive canteens inside a steelworks to feed all the workers and I was 17, earning $19 an hour, for standing there making sandwiches all day.. Sometimes even easier **** like just working on the register.

The only problem with that work is if you do work in a proper restaurant then pretty much kiss all your friday saturday and sunday nights goodbye, which is always the busiest times for restaurants.. Which means if you're in a band then you're either missing out on gigs, or missing out on good money from your job.

/my philoophy on hospitality.

I just got a job too, I'm going to be a barman in the pub where I play sessions every week, could be interesing seeing as how I'm straight edge and hate drunk people. The boss is awesome though so he'll look after me good.

AND I got my new amp and it rules, now I need to find a Budda Wah and some form of sexual, unique overdrive pedal (aka NOT an OCD or tubescreamer)

[ze monsta]

What amp?

[TheDev01dOne]

12w Hand built head I got off ebay.. There's a thread about it here http://ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=827841

Sounds awesome, exactly what I wanted from it, now I just need to sort out speaker issues and I'll be a happy chappy.

[ze monsta]

Looks pretty sweet, but that plating is gross. And the knobs look a bit lame. And the colour is fairly boring, get some black vinyl on it!

[TheDev01dOne]

The wood is a really nice colour IRL just bad eBay photos. And yeah the front plate is definitely going, just trying to decide what I'll replace it with. The knobs are staying though, I like them.

[Carswell98]

have a piece of polished stainless steel or aluminum cut to size, and pay someone to engrave a design you like in it, that would look amazing


also you should consider having it upholstered with tweed, since it is based on a fender is it not? because tweed amps look shmexy

and maybe buy some fender chicken head knobs to boot

[nightraven]

i modded my tubescreamer! well, my dad did most of it. and christ, it's a pain. the resistors are in the most awkward place ever and it's so easy to mess it up. i take it back, this is not something i'd want to do for a living :p:

+1000 That would look incredible. Twould be one sexy amp!

[nightraven]

^ sweet dude, how long did it end up taking?
quite a long time, longer than i'd anticipated. it wasn't as straightforward as i thought, taking it apart was bad enough but trying to pull out the resistors at the exact moment that you desolder them while holding the board horizontally to make sure there are NO bridges whatsoever because if there are, the thing is broken. :\

[TheDev01dOne]

You need to get one of those solder pump things that sucks off the solder when its melted so you don't need 3 hands to de-solder stuff.

I worked my first shift as a barman last night and it was pretty fun, I don't know alot of stuff still but I can do all the normal ****, just need to learn how to tap the barrels and random stuff like that. I get beer all over myself though cos I have really shakey hands and always spill **** when I go to hand it to someone, hopefully I get better at that I hate the smell of beer.

I'm really bored, I'm trying to learn Evil by Howlin' Wolf as a simple slide progression to do at a session tonight but I dunno if I'll get it good enough in time, I always seem to learn new songs just a few hours before I want to play them somewhere instead of practising them properly and getting good at them first. I'm rather unorganised that way.

Do any of you cover any Howlin' Wolf songs? I've really been digging his songs, most of them were written by Willie Dixon though I assume but they really seem to suit him. They all have weird droning music structures though and it's hard to spice them up a bit even to a simple 12bar without losing the rawness of the songs, that's what I'm finding difficult.

I think I've cracked it, I just add random extra bars when I need more breath to sing and it seems to let it flow okay. Once I can do it without too many mistakes I'll record it and you guys can tell me how crappy it is.

sre9981 - You played on the radio? That's awesome, especially if you were playing blues. Is your band in the YOUR blues/jazz band thread? I'm too lazy to check.

Hey guys I was wondering if yall know any young (15-30) females that like the blues. And if so, what artists, songs do they like?

My gf (her pic is on my profile if you care to see her) is country as horse manure, so she inevitably listens to mostly country.
However, I've recently burned her a cd with a bunch of random bluesy stuff on it.

Songs she likes: soulshine-govt mule, smokestack lightning-howling wolf, a few songs by bb king, buddy guy, and the allman brothers.

Anyone else know any blues songs that a girl might dig?

edit: p.s. dammit carswell your avatar continues to freak me out

[ze monsta]

My gf is country as horse manure

:haha She'll love you for that. :haha

Stormy Monday - T Bone Walker

[ze monsta]

School, for me anyway, is ****in' awesome. :haha

Last year was bad, coz I got in lots of trouble which I deserved, but I also had lots of fun in which no one got hurt or anything, so that was awesome. This year has been awesome though, because I haven't been in trouble once, have got awesome grades, and have had so much fun. And all the fights I've got into, I haven't got into trouble, and beat them to the point where they are to embarrassed to bully my friends. :)

Two years ago, the guys who were leaving for Uni, locked the librarian in the library, locked the head of six form in her office, cemented the assistant head teachers door closed, make HUGE plaster dicks on walls of classrooms and put live gold fish into water jugs at lunch, and put like fish (big kinda fish) inside desks, books and bags. :

:haha That year was fun.

[Carswell98]

oh regarding Peter Greens Fleetwood mac

I have the takes for "need your love so bad"

he's talking to Mick Fleetwood

"don't, don't worry about...coming in too early man, it won't matter, it'll be fine... but hey, if you come in late, I"m going to ****ing brain you, alright" :haha

I realised my tuners had been a bit wobbly recently, so took them out fiddled around for a bit then put them back it, and voila! Everythings fine there.
Then I decided I'd look to see what I'd have to do for the Greeny mod, and have a look around inside, I now actually understand, fully, what to actually do, and why. :)

Do it man for sure. It'll probably be piss easy and good excercise anyway and you get paid. Get used to early mornings as soon as you can, you'll have to be up that early for most jobs.

I phailed my cover of Evil at the session tonight, forgot all the words but it was still a good jam I guess Lol everything else went well I did crawling kingsnake, stack shot billy, Hey joe, and knockin on heavens door and you ain't going nowhere since it's an americana themed session and they all fap over Bob Dylan. Was a fun night, it was way more crowded than usual, good mix of music and instruments.

^ man that sounds fun :sad:

I WANT A BAND DAMMIT!

:cry:





on a completely unrelated note, I think Eric Johnson is amazing, I've been watching this video on youtube, it just floors me.

I think he is the best "shredder" out there, have anyone else noticed that Joe Bonamassa took a lot of his licks from Johnson? I just noticed that the other day.

here is the video, I just love the build up in the intro.

Eric Johnson is awesome, I haven't heard too much of his stuff but I have a CD thats him, Vai and Satch and he has 3 songs on it and they are cool.

Dude, he's so picky about his tone. Like, I'm very very picky about mine, and this dude is like 3 times as picky :p: When he goes on stage, his batteries in his pedals need to have a certain about of juice in them, and he doesn't use the 9v adapter because it's too much power. He thinks that if there isn't as much battery left in his pedal, it changes the tone.
