WTF is happening at around 6:15! Kirk nods to someone off stage and then proceeds to TOTALLY NOT play what we are hearing. Watch his hands...not him playing that solo. WTF? I want to hear the actual performance...or do I? 🤣
My favorite for that is a ‘80 JCM800 50W with an added tube. The circuit is basically a stock JCM800 with a gain stage put in front (where the SD1 would normally be). And it’s a very simple gain stage/circuit. I doubled up that extra tube so both triodes are in parallel but that’s not necessary.
My favorite shredder is probably something fresher to my ear. It was EVH, then Randy, then Yngwie, then Vinnie, then EJ etc up to Guthrie. Then Joscho was my gateway into Gypsy jazz and that's just one other shredder rabbit hole of many.
People write/play what they are inspired to write/play. 'Doing the right thing...' wtf does that even mean? Paganini gonna Paganini, just the way it is.
In 2018 or 2019 I got a closet kept Mark IV combo with EV plus the matching extra 1x12 that was available for them. Original Sylvania power tubes and covers for both. $750.
I’ve come to believe that once you go down the jazz rabbit hole, you’re lost forever. You’ll then only make music interesting to 152 people. Worldwide.
That’s def left field. A bit too video gamey for me but still some interesting stuff.
I sort of grew up on prog and every now and then I’ll come across something with the right combo of weird yet sane with great musicianship and fresh songs. I’m hoping to post entire records, the first song...
A lot of the posts itt apply to me when I was young. He was one of my first guitar heros, until I went to see him in concert and saw Frank Marino open. I liked Free For All and Stranglehold. He jumped the shark for me at Cat Scratch Fever.
Some music from that era sticks but Teddy not so much.
Start at about 11:30, he says there is a BE100 and a SS100 each into a Red Seven load box with IRs. Everything is stereo, one amp on the left and the other one on the right. They talk about him having stereo monitors. They don't even use the loops on the amps.
This is a rabbit hole looking for a rabbit. And I've been guilty of being that rabbit. I like the custom pickup Gaustad had Greg at Jalen build (Jalen Fair Warning) even with a 500k pot. I have it in two Strats.
I bought a partscaster with a Pariah Destruction pickup that is their Super...
