I can't perform without my autotune.

I'm supposed to be working on something else tonight but...

Yes, it sounds like a flakey ground connection - which could very well be caused by a loose connector.

The weather was really weird today so I stayed in and added a few weird parts to the jam...

I noticed the guitar had a bit of "The Royal Scam" flavour to it.

I like it. Nice movement in the early Rhodes bits (CP4?). I like the flow of the slightly understated guitar towards the end - nice 'boxy' tone too.

Wow! Some great bits in there - I really enjoyed that.

Here's a bit of something - a Les Paul through a Boss ME-25. Anton, your Rhodes parts remind me a bit of a couple of albums that really influenced me in the early days...

Here's another less "reckless" version.

Red Clay would be a good one. I used to play that with a trumpet player who, along with myself, is a big Freddie Hubbard fan.

nice - I like the lava lamp too

I had just returned home from a musical I was involved in with 20 nine to twelve year old children. We did a scaled down version of "Little Shop of Horrors" where I played piano and acoustic guitar as the support for the kids singing and interlude music between scenes. We spent a week at a wilderness camp and put the whole thing together in five days. Our local opera singer was the singing and drama coach and it was amazing to see the transformation as they learned their parts and started singing with confidence. However, being in such close quarters with twenty screaming pre teens (can we have everything louder than everything else?) certainly primed me up for some "reckless abandon" when I got home so I was delighted to see that you had posted a jam. It was just what I needed. I still think it is senseless whammy bar wankery - at least for the most part.

Here's a bit of senseless whammy bar wankery.

Are you in the Vancouver area as well?

It's not the guitar - it's the player... [video=youtube;zBX7LBiYn5U] Some guitars work for some players.

I think the price of a Les Paul has a lot more to do with marketing and what people are willing to pay than it has to do with what it costs to build them. The Studios from the early 90s were every bit a Les Paul but they were "dumbed down" in order for Gibson to be able to sell them a bit cheaper to compete with other brand but not with their own product.

The first time I picked one up I almost put it through the ceiling.

that must be really loud when it is turned all the way up like this I wouldn't let something like that be the deciding factor in what you decide to do with something like this if it were me, i'd just choose another amp for that guitar

maybe the pickups/guitar are not as much of a contributor to the feedback problem as you may think microphonic tubes in your amp may be contributing as well and if you change (or even just switch around) some of the preamp tubes you may greatly reduce the problem in the OP you stated that you don't have the problem with your strat so that means it must be the PRS but since, using the same logic, you didn't have the problem with the other amp (Marshall?) then maybe the amp is a factor too consider that the output of the PRS is much greater than that of the strat so the combination of potentially microphonic tubes and high gain pickups may be the issue you can test your tubes for microphonics by gently tapping them with a wooden pencil (use the eraser if it has one) and listening for a ringing sound through the speaker - sometimes, if the tubes are really microphonic, you can hear the ring just by tapping on the front panel

I'll see what sort of options I can find for you but if you decide the guitar just doesn't work for you anymore...

Why are there no Buddhist blues guitar players?

Please, don't be so logical. I'm sorry. I'll try to be more careful next time. It's far easier to hate but takes courage to like and love. So, today, I am going to be positive with every stranger I meet. I bet it comes back to me... It's not so difficult once you start doing it and it will come back to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPgHHD8dxLc
