So is this primarily a heavy metal/hard rock guitar player's forum?

Neither were they.

Look at footage of a Pearl Jam from ‘91 and Stone Goddard with his one length hair, mom jeans and stage moves like he’s playing for a chick singer at Lilith fair. Take it coach….

I never liked that grunge stuff.

For a minute I thought Maiden was cool until I got a transcription book and figured out it was all two note power chords. But Steve Harris and Dickinson both had one length hair so I'm failing to see how this one length hair deal entails an ass kicking when other metal dudes had it. None of this crap made any sense then, and none of it makes any sense now but dang if I didn't develop a sixth sense of when to punch someone. You get called fag enough times in a single sitting and you have to strike or the abuse continues. I was always a cool guy after I punched someone in the nose. Before that I was just a fag. Explain that one.

That isn't saying much though.

To be fair, I never did get my ass kicked by dudes who listened to creed or nickelback but I bet if I wore a creed or nickelback shirt I would be getting my ass kicked even today. I think I would rather take a beating from a guy wearing a Michael Jackson shirt with a cubic zirconia encrusted glove than a creed or nickelback shirt. Less emasculating.

If it makes ya feel any better I'm into brad paisley,& Johnny hiland just as much as yngwie and petrucci.They all have killer Rigs.And if it makes you feel even more better i like amp and guitar demos in all gain ranges and a440 tunings.I also have total respect for the awesome musicians on here that play in drop z sharp or whatever but its not where i live.This is " Rig Talk". Youll be fine.Decades ago,I got asked by the then owner to join,I wasn't even looking to. Now I'm forever grateful I did. ?

As opposed to other forums where members strive to master the skin flute. :dunno:

Are we supposed to make fun of this? 'cause that's impressive, and the second movement of Summer is a classic choice for metal covers. Maybe I don't get the joke.

Not at all; I started learning accordion recently; this is an inspiration, and shows some here are into various types of music.

Here's mine, but not even attempting button accordion like the guy in my last post:

do you have a mark IIC+ by any chance???

No I can't say that I do. Why do you ask?

I did once have a Mesa V-Twin pedal which was pretty good but the blues channel didn't have enough gain and the solo channel had too much gain and they both worked off a shared EQ which didn't work out well. I would've preferred the rack unit because the EQ's were separate but then I'd be lugging that around. I traded off my early 90's RI plexi for a Twin for ease of transport, sold the 1960AX cab for cheap to a friend, and sold my strats and switched to ES guitars in 2015. Just made a better blues rig for what I'm doing.

Yeah Freddie is the MAN when it comes to raw, rocking blues. Worth a listen even if heavy guitar is your thing.

That fucking guitar sounds awesome. He gained it out. I don't know if he just cranked the master or what, but that is the best "clean" gain I have heard. That fucking guy had something.
