Thanx: I plan to give everything here a listen once my broadband internet gets installed (hopefully within a week). I like Indie and no-name bands - its guys like us on this part of the forum with our strange tunes and music that will dominate the 'record industry'. I cant wait for the RCCA to die (along with Microsoft) for favor of independantly release music. I cant get enough of the diverse original tune-age out there.
The Fender Twin is a real nice amp! I never thought I would ever own one, but with the proper pedals, they can sing! I love the twin, but realize it cant do everything a head & stack can do. The secret to the tone is the TC Electronic G System and Nova Drive with everything 4-cabled. I eventually want to get a Mesa TriAxis to loop in and go out to the Fender Twin, but have not got that far. The Nova drive does a great job of giving bite and growl, and the Fender twin will let you have power and clarity to insanly loud levels. I have never had an amp that linear in response!
I am trying to get a heavy Eric Johnson sound with the rig, but it has to lighten up to music of the 1960s.
The sweep picking stuff is a sickness: once you get started its all over. Now scales can jump out of any chords and I fight not overusing it (like I did with lergato years ago).
Yes, I have a tele - a USA from 2003 in MINT condition. Its outfitted with a DiMarzio twang king in the bridge and a DiMarzio Area-T in the neck - deadly! In the musical troup I play in for events, I find I use a tele 50% of the time because I need a vanilla cleantone guitar for some of their stuff. But the strat is the number 1 and I use it for everything else.
I plan to have music released on iTunes once I am done. I take about a year to complete a catalog because I have a family and ...work. Most of what I do is for videographical use (soundtracks) so lots of instrumental. I do have some guys I played with interested in doing some collaboration stuff, and thats what I am working on.
I do think the stuff people are posting on this forum thread are great, as it helps raise the bar in music. It used to be only studios could do facny stuff, but now a PC and ProTools makes you a virtual studio. My studio is basically that - all digital. Even a $99 Creative EMU-404 in a PC gives you the power of a production studio with comparable results. Its just amazing. It also makes it easy to go to area studios with stuff you created on the home studio to give them a good idea of what you want. Plus you can work with their stuff, and they can use your stuff. So much easier than it was 25 years ago...
