Originally posted by ottobahn I'll bet those boys went by ear and instinct. If they sat down and dismantled their playing and tried to figure out the harmony theory behind it, they would lose the magic. I agree. There's a point where you think too much. Sometimes.

I'm still trying to dl that Doug Aldrich video. I'll check this out later. But I don't like Angelo's playing or technique, so I probably won't like this. But still if he can play that style well, good for him. Give me Gilbert or Malmsteen or Aldrich type playing for shred.

Like having a Porsche and only driving in a school zone. Or like having a huge screen TV in a small room. I know some people with that, and it looks like {censored}. You sit so close and everything's blurry and distorted, but they think it's good, and it's their $ and that's the point. Life's short, do what you want and enjoy it. I would use a small amp in a house or apartment. I just think it sounds better. The only reason I still hang on to a couple of them is because they appreciate in value. But I don't use them unless in a band gigging at big venues.

I hated it when VH did that Jamie's Cryin' tune, they totally ripped off Tone Loc's "Wild Thing"!!
