    Whats the name of this technique and where's a good video to learn it?

    At ~1:39 Mr.Jabs shows a bit of the technique up close.

    80’s Lush Warm Cleans?

    Modded Marshall or Mesa 2ch Rectifier

    For me, it was the modded Marshall sound. I liked my ‘97 Triple Rectifier(that I bought new), but after 25 years, I didn’t love it. It wasn’t the sound I was after. Sold it, and bought a Bogner Helios which I love.

    Any tone talk watchers?

    Yeah; the Soldano episode was killer. I love when they get out into the weeds about amps and how they work.

    Any tone talk watchers?

    Some of the episodes have been ridiculously good. (Jake E Lee when Dave and Jake were pretty hammered, the George Lynch episode, and the Jeff Pilson/George Lynch episode, the Bob Bradshaw episode, the ones with John Suhr)

    What guitar are you playing today?

    Playing the Kami-4. It’s finally set up properly, and plays as well as expected.

    Peavey combo at 160 watts

    LOUD as f_ck. And positively horrible sounding. I wouldn’t pay more than $100 for one of those late-70s Peavey amps. However… Could be good as a pedal platform amp. Especially if you’re doing doomy stuff.

    Black Album

    I’ve not listened to it, all the way through, since the day it was released. Nor have I actively listened to any song off the album in maybe 30 years.

    Black Album

    Quite possibly, the most disappointing album I ever purchased.

    I tried a Les Paul Classic, and I loved it. Would I be happy with an Edwards, rather?

    I bought an Edwards Les Paul custom/John Sykes clone, last fall. It’s my first LP-type guitar in 44 years of playing. I’m digging it. However, I had to have the nut and saddles replaced, because it had some annoying tuning issues. Graphtech nut and saddles solved the problems. Eventually, I’m...

    Do you use your pinky?

    Yes. Once I started using scales, other than the good ol’ pentatonic, I realized I needed to use the pinky.

    The outlook for used gear in 2024 - Used Guitar Apocalypse?

    I don’t see it on Reverb, or Craigslist, or on-line used gear dealers.
