  1. This is the kind of thing you bring down on yourself when you troll Harmony Central saying Marshall sucks in every thread. Outside of that, nobody deserves such treatment. Where they Marshall branded lungs? I heard those make you wheeze in a thin and shrill huff. :cop:
  2. I've seen some clips of him jamming with other players and he even admitted in an interview that it isn't one of his strong points; he just isn't comfortable with another guitarist and I don't think that he does other people's stuff off the cuff well. A lot of that IMHO is probably due to his strengths which are playing EVH styled {censored} which isn't exactly the most run of the mill type {censored} out there. He's got his own feel and mojo which is what makes him what he is; that's like trying to take a Ferrari four wheeling; it's just not designed to do that very well. I would also chalk that up to not being properly trained in musical theory. He's self taught, and that can lead to deficiencies in jamming and riffing with another player. Speaking from personal, self taught suckage experience, I can write stuff myself, and usually learn to play anything I can find the music for, and play it pretty well/accurately. Do I know exactly 'what' I'm actually doing? Nope. I know basic notes and chords, but modes and scale patterns? I do them all the time, I just couldn't tell you what mode or pattern I happen to be playing in when I play. I just know 'this lick sounds good with this chord pattern', and go. Heck, I can't sweep pick to save my life, intentionally, but I play solos in some songs that I KNOW have sweeps in them, and I know I'm sweeping when I do it... but can I pop a sweep lick into something else out of context? I've tried, and the answer is no. I feel like EVH is the same way: Self taught, and for so, so, so, so long has only had himself and his own songs to play with; when faced with something new, he may not have the improv tools to just blend in and let it loose.
  3. I'd just as soon rig an expression pedal to go from dry to 100% wet octave down myself... Work Smarter, Not Harder
