Just decided to restart a thread i made maybe 10 years ago.....Nothing is off limits....gear, favorite players, techniques, amps, effects...you name it, we can all discuss it.

I own numerous amps...SS and Tube Eventide effects, Hardwire and Line6.. I am mostly a Fender Telecaster guy but have a jazz box and various other.

Carry on!

Yes, he seemed both a bit smarter and more musically proficient than you would guess from his public persona.

Still just as roasted as you would expect though :)

The part that impressed me was when he started jamming that piano boogie woogie that Ian Stuart taught him. I’m a piano player, and boogie woogie is not beginner level stuff, but Keef played it off like it was just some little thing he picked up casually. That tells me he’s just a natural musician and could probably learn any instrument he wanted if he just bothered to spend a little time on it.

My Tele is one of the Made in Japan 1950’s reproduction models. Bought it in early 1990’s.

I’m down to my old 70’s Guild electric (can’t remember the model, but it’s the telecaster clone) w/ crate G20 XL amp... And my beloved small bodied flat top, a ‘77 Guild F20 SB... Also still have an old Pan large body guitar, but it needs heads and some fret work to make it useful again... Used to have a decent Gibson Bass, and an Aida Banjo too, but time and circumstance took them from me.

But the one that will be there till I die is that old flat top. I love that guitar. If the house is burning down, save the network storage, the family Bible, and that guitar... then go back for the dog and the old lady (if there is one).

Mostly played country, outlaw country, southern rock back in the day...

Thanks. The body is solid ash and the neck is maple. I have a lot of fun with it. I don’t think there are many of them out there, so I’m I really glad I bought it.

I,m old so acoustic.graduated HS ‘55 and that’s when my Martin 0015 was made. Had the Martin factory tighten it up a couple years ago.
I play no better than I did in ‘55.

Former long-haired hippy trash guitar player...hence the username! Once opened for Molly Hatchet and played for a crowd of about 5k and gigged fairly extensively back in the day.

Bow to the altar of Randy Rhoads, George Lynch and, as I’ve gotten older and slower, Stevie Ray...

Have owned ‘76 Les Paul Custom Deluxe in Cherry Sunburst, a Strat (can’t remember the year anymore). Currently in love with a 1986 Peavey Vandenberg that I adore for its tone and tiny neck and a Franken-strat that cannot be said to be any one brand over another it’s been so heavily modified over the years.

Play a pretty simple rig now. Just a Peavey Classic 100 head thru an Ampeg 4x12 cabinet (way too much for my man-cave playing now, but I love the tone!). Effects have leaned down thru the years to a Boss Chorus pedal and a Crybaby Wah.

Don’t play nearly as much as a I should or would like to...to be honest, it gets a little depressing being unable to do 1/2 the stuff that I used to be able to do...

My beloved Les Pauls . . .

The perfect guitars for playing the blues . . . especially through . . .

Thanks. I’m on week 4 of a 10-week beginner guitar course. This will supplement that.

Awesome!

Put me on a ping list if you ever create one.

I'm a Gibson Les Paul guy. Though I do have a cheap Jay Turser JT300 Strat knockoff. I replaced the tuners, the pickups and added some nice Ernie Ball strings...and by golly...it don't sound bad at all for under a hundred bucks. I have an Epi SG style bass that I piddle with too.

My favorite way to just screw around in the music room is to tune my Les Paul to Open E or Open G and set my Line 6 modeling amp for a little distortion and reverb then knock out some of those yummy Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood licks...Happy, Stay With Me. So many good ones.

These should be fun threads.

"Effects have leaned down thru the years to a Boss Chorus pedal and a Crybaby Wah."

The only effects component I've ever owned or played through is one of these Jim Dunlap Cry Baby wah-wah pedals for bass.

I'm rather partial to my Epi SG bass. $199 new....and lots of good used ones out there. Try Guitar Center.

> Alan Holdsworth....I believe EVH stole from him...What do you think?

EVH certainly has the tone, and he’s phenomenal.

But, I think they’re really two different schools.

Blues Junior. Small but stands up to a Twin Reverb for power and sound.
