That's what I did. i used the Ultex sharp for a few months before switching to ultex Jazz. The material is the same. However, i do find the Jazz feels stiffer, due to its smaller size. By that i mean a 1.38mm Jazz feels stiff like a 1.4 or 2mm Ultex sharp.

good set list. Enjoy playing and please let us know how it went.

as my OP stated, my new discoveries with the Ultex Jazz III really was a big improvement on my picking technique, it was instantly noticeable compared to my Ultex Sharps, which feels more bulky and sluggish in comparison. What is it that you dig about the Ultex Jazz?

cool, I've seen them around. have to give it a try. Are the materials (delrin) a lot different than the Jazz III?

Man, that was my problem with the original Jazz III 20 years ago. i stopped using them because it seems that I could never get a good grip, it felt too small. But with the Ultex, the material seems to slice through the string with a little more bite. Of course my picking technique has taken...

I never thought i would use Jazz IIIs again, used to use it about 2 decades ago when i was starting out. One of the forum member was kind enough to send some of the JP Jazz III that he wasn't using awhile back, it kinda sparked my interest in them again. But it wasn't until i started using...

that's why I love it here, we're more liberal open minded bunch. Try saying something like that over at the Music Man forum.

Here's the big question: Did you get a chance to observe his right hand technique? Is it really all wrist movement with the pick slices down on the side of the blade at a slight angle towards the floor?

great tips here :thumbsup: I was at a local bar once watching John Scofield play. Went back to the bar to have a beer, saw some local guitarists chatting up a storm. It seemed to me that all they were doing was talking shit about everybody, even cutting down Sco, who they were there to see??!?

nice job, man. I never heard the original. But I like the solo at the end there. sounded like something Aldrich would play when he was on tour with Dio.

I got to try one today. Basically agreed with all the consensus you guys posted. I'll add some of my own: Pros 1- Great neck, very comfortable for shred but thick enough for really dirty playing as well. 2- Great Wolfgang bridge pickup, thick with tons of note definition. 3- It looks cool, the...

i wouldn't call this a Brown sound, but it's a fuckin' nice tone nevertheless. I love Trace's work, I still have an Egnater EG5 module he modded. I can see this sound with a lower output pickup or a good single coil, that would probably get closer to Brown :rock:

we can't get TMS in Canada. Only get to see it when someone uploaded to Youtube. Any clips of Jake that you guys know of?

this guy was way ahead of his time. Great tapping ideas, especially to tap walking bass lines? very cool. EVH is still the one responsible for making it so popular. He definitely was the first to do it through a crank Marshall, basically sounding like a rock Allan Holdsworth.

the very fact that Felder is no longer in the band makes you wonder. My 2 cents : "Hotel California" is nothing without the music behind it. the acoustic riffs, the fills and the solos are all signature iconic parts. Everybody know those parts, not just musicians.

we still jam this song all the time. songs like these are just timeless. Felder is great, thanks for showing us how to play it, in the wrong key (joking) :D

Listen, i have the exact problem with my 5150 III. Here's where my problem came from: the effects loop, apparently if whatever i have in the effects loop is on, then when I power off it'll cause a loud pop. So I just made sure to turn off the effect loop before powering off, problem solved...

How do you like the clarity and tone for fast picking stuff? I always prefer single coils for their clarity and openness. The JB and PAF Pro I have on my 73 right now are too compress at high gain settings,
