  1. for that kind of change, and looking for something different, ...maybe a Deusenberg?...
  2. forgotten Freddie already huh? It's hard explain the difference...but it's not the same ...maybe the best way to explain it would be to say, when your watching the typical musical, you know that overwhelming sense of camp is part and parcel to the whole production. It's camp for camps sake, at least to me....Mercury doing camp on record and in concert is a fleeting thing at best, he always comes back to GENUINE rock intensity at some point on a record or in a show, whereas a musical only has genuine camp thru and thru...make sense?
  3. yea it's just hard to imagine any scenario where the outrageously intentional campiness of musicals works with blood and guts hard rock. they're just two different worlds...might be entertaining for other reasons (performances, vibe,etc) though
  4. it's neato! ...somebody mentioned it as a future home entertainment option and that seems not only possible but probable.....music that includes a 'holograph' track...just buy the right hardware and your favorite performers holographs are performing the music right in yer living room...yay future!
  5. their criteria is too liberal (no surprise there )....so as a fan of the geetar, I'd make a list of pure playing ability and artistry with the instrument. That's it. So, I'd probably have a list of professional classical, flamenco, jazz and country players the masses have never heard of in addition to those they (not so) shockingly left off ie- Eric Johnson, Pat Metheny, Jerry Reed, Michael Hedges, Allan Holdsworth, Adrian Legg, Steve Morse, Steve Howe, Robben Ford, Merle Travis, Greg Howe, Dan Huff, John Williams, Brent Mason, Joe Pass, Christopher Parkening, Adrian Legg, Pete Anderson, Shawn Lane, Stanley Jordan, Steve Vai and I'd start it with Paco De Lucia ....
  6. I know this may be an old topic and I have opinions on it and have expressed them, but it's something I've been thinking about again. Looking at the issue of standard strats/teles and american standard strats and teles and how they actually compare in real life. And in this case, I'm specifically talking about post 2008 MIMs and similarly modern MIAs. Most of us gear heads have had a great deal of experiences through the years to call on as it pertains to Fender guitars, but I want to recalibrate the discussion to focus only on the most modern standard instruments, especially with the understanding that the MIMs, in particular, have really been souped up since 2008 and in my experience some of the older ones just don't compare to them. The American standards (the strat in particular) have also seen some modernizations in recent years. Where I'm at right now is a person who, back in 2009, bought both a new standard tele and a new standard strat and have an extremely high opinion of both of them. I've never owned a modern american standard, though, and that's part of why I want to update the discussion. Some MIM Fenders are clearly a cut above, but they are also priced accordingly, like this one: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/fender-classic-player-50s-stratocaster-electric-guitar
  7. Damn it, Grandpa! Haven't we told you to stay off the Internet? ....That dood obviously is forgetting that time , nearly in any capacity, is almost irrelevant when your talking about music...If there were any sort of time limits on influence, relevancy,etc,etc , then you wouldn't have classical musicians playing and studying 200+ year old Bach, Beethove, Mozart, Brahms, etc music pieces as they do today nor jazzers still covering and studying Bird, Coltrane, Monk, etc,etc,et al....If it has any kind of merit at all, whatever it may be, it will live on long past it creation date.
  8. He's the greatest guitarist to have primarily made a career using only the D and G strings. lol...but if u listen closely or look at VH's sheet music, very,very rarely does he use a root 5th power chord. Astonishing for a hard rock guitarist.
  9. Is it official yet? These threads are so helpful 'cause they let us know the order of things. Thanks interwebz.
  10. bunches will! ...if you can afford the coin, those Wampler pedals are awesome but they pretty much take over the amp rather than subtly augment it...that can be a good thing or not...
  11. Originally posted by Ronan Murphy The devil is not in the details. Its quite blunt. you need a real amp. Good amp, decent mic and pre. That's pretty much it. ah, well let me slightly rephrase the question then....given my current equipment (desktop modeller) , however less than ideal and obviously miking a real amp is the ideal situation, but since that is not a possibility.......it is possible to get convincing sounding heavy rock rhthym tracks with a modeller? In other words , were you at the controls tweaking the board , and the guitar player only had a modeller , could you get convincing results, and if so please elaborate how
  12. Originally posted by MarkGifford-1 Here ya go: http://www.badmuckingfastard.com/sound/slipperman.html You're correct - the devil IS in the details. Every little thing needs to be optimized, and the most important part is the player. MG wow, some good info in there, and entertaining to boot, thanks!
  13. there has got to be a 'how to' on the internet somewhere , for creating those pro sounding metal or hard rock thick, heavy and tight rhthym guitar tracks you always hear....I own a desktop modeller (can you guess which one? ) ....and have some decent Marshallike presets that sound good on their own, but simply doubling them and panning L and R, doesn't put me in the ballpark of a pro recording....I know the devil is in the details, and it's probably combo's of compression, eq , possibly ambient reverb etc to get the sound just so....is there any sort of rough 'how to' out there for getting that pro sound?
