Hey I have mostly Peavey stuff so there's that! You like what you like! The only place to venture from what you like is, spending twice the amount of money to buy some boutique name brand amp that will get you 95% the same tone anyways
The reason why I said what I said is because I happen to find that chord progression/framework to be special. You just disagree
Remove the musical foundation and you just have Randy's lead solo'd which is of course great on its own, but then you dont have the song and moving progression. But...
I used to just tune to whatever my lowest string was, no matter how far it drifted away....until I go to play along with a song then realize I need to tune the whole thing lol
As brilliant as Randy was, credit needs to be given to Don Airey, whom I believe created the chord progressions within Mr. Crowley. Especially the chord foundation during the solos.
I picked up this cd a couple weeks ago....very good! It's technical but not overdone. Bands like First Fragment...is too technical for me. But Aborted has the right amount.
I can confirm. I've had one. Inherently fizzy that I couldn't figure how to dial out. So I returned it and got a black spirit 200 amp instead to see if it was any better.....same Inherent fizz.
Honestly I would just use the strings you have. Tune them how you want and then see if you like how the slightly less tension feels. If not, incrementally try larger strings
Zakk wylde. Blazing fast pentatonic lickd and his signature lick that is hard to describe.....the 3 note lick where does a tap and pull of thing where the notes are either descending or ascending chromatically. He does it for example in I don't want to save the world if that helps
They've now designated the "real" Les Paul's for the retired/wealthy that most can't afford. They found a way to make their lower-mid tier guitar look like one they can't afford, all the while upping the price as a result. IMO.
A sounds better to me. Disclaimer: Im listening through my cell phone speaker about the size of a grain if rice, held up to my ear in a noisey environment. ?
I'm glad that I don't even know the names of any of these female guitar players. I avoid them like the plague. Except for that girl Tina who could actually play Arpeggios from Hell pretty well
