Who would want to? xlfz6iUhKpY That has to be the sloppiest mess of attempted sweep picking that I've ever heard. WTF was Guitar World thinking by actually shooting a video of this hack? I've never listened to Nile, and now I'm quite happy that I haven't. He makes Kerry King look like Al Di...

I picked up this Ampeg V4 cab a while back and I'm finally getting ready to prep it for use with my Express (speaker change, remove insulation, etc). It's apparently had a few beers dumped over it in it's lifetime as you can see in the pic. What is the best way to attempt to clean up this...

Just picked up an Anderson Hollow Drop Top a few weeks ago in a trade. Quilted maple top over mahogany with a trans-amber burst finish. I'm a big fan of P90 pickups which is why I wanted to check this one out. The 2 and 4 positions sound very stratty sounding and the neck and bridge together...

Good!!! Just saw Queensryche two days ago at M3, and saw them 2 years (again at M3) in Tate's second to last gig with them...it was night and day. The band sounds 1000% better with La Torre at the helm...they played a lot of old material and he absolutely crushed all of it. Tate had become a...

Brilliant! ;) rBDyv-EEZ9g

maddnotez's "Techs, explain the need for extended scale lengths." thread has brought up a debate on lowered tunings that we can settle here and now...this is important stuff! :scared: A sample exchange from the thread:

This article basically nails my thoughts on relics...YMMV http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/19666-last-call-if-you-relic-your-guitar

Jackson Custom Shop orders have stupidly long lead times and they have had quite a few well documented instances of not following the build sheets. That seems to have gotten a bit better over the past few years but its worth noting. Once you get beyond the wait and actually get what you order...

With all of the mutt builds that I've done, surprisingly I have never stripped a factory finish myself. I have an Ibanez RG-570 that has had a large chunk of the finish knocked off directly behind the bridge recess, so I figure a refin is in order. What's the most effective way to remove the...

Ever since I got my Trainwreck Express, I've been searching for an old Ampeg V4 cab as it is what Ken Fischer recommended as the best one out there for his amps. I finally scored one last week and it showed up yesterday. Built like a tank and weighs about the same as one too. It's in great...

I had never heard of this band prior to watching TMS on Saturday night. When asked if there were any new bands that he was listening to, Jake E Lee mentioned them. I went to Youtube and checked out their tune "Adrenalize" and wasn't quite sure what to think. I cued them up again yesterday and...

I bought the CD a few weeks back in order to help out with Rich's charity and have been listening to it now for about two weeks. It is full of cool instrumentals with a lot of great playing. Unlike many instrumental albums, this is far from a self-indulgent shred-fest. The songs are well...

Just joined a new band that will require me to add some modern rock tones (think Foo Fighters, Three Days Grace, Seether, etc) to my arsenal that I'm not currently set up to get. I'm using a Friedman Marsha that I have set up for more a more classic heavy tones and I don't want to be changing...

I've been building my own parts mutts for nearly 20 years and continue to enjoy creating killer guitars out components. Whether it's a replica of something else or an original creation, I'm a huge fan of parts guitars. Because of this, I recently created a Facebook page called "Mutts Rule"...

A pretty good recent take on his instrumental classic: I5mdNW756fo

http://music-mix.ew.com/2013/05/20/ray-manzarek-dead-doors/ Major loss to the music community. The Doors were simply an amazing, ground breaking band and Ray was a significant part of their sound.

Taped last week...he's a guest on one episode and sits in on guitar on two others. Looks like he's playing the new sig model with the bridge P-90.

Here's the deal. My son recently moved back to Denver where we lived from 2004-2008. He wants to join/form a band there but doesn't have anything more than a practice amp. His birthday is coming up soon so I want to buy him something that will get him started. He primarily plays a mix of...

I haven't bought a new wah pedal since '98 but old standby just shit the bed (original 535). I don't care for the 535Q and really haven't tried anything else that's been made since back then. I use it primarily for blues rock and funk...what do I need to be looking at these days?
