That is SO COOL that you are listening to Jeff Beck's "Truth" Pieman! I bought that album 30 years ago when I was in high school and its been one of my favorites ever since...its great to know that...

Let's see...at this very moment I'm listening to Rory Gallagher's "Irish Tour '74".
This weekend I bought "Boss Guitar" by Wes Montgomery and "The Kansas City Sessions" by Lester Young (its got...

This thread brings to mind an interview I read last week with Jim Dickinson, who played piano on the Stones' "Wild Horses" (and has produced many bands, and incidentally first took Jimmy Page to Sun...

Hmmm, is there a mutual friend you guys could use as an intermediary? Like the moderator of a forum that you're both in, or something?

I collect original comic art and have some friends who are...

+ one on the Tom Waits. Yes, he is a great lyricist...I don't listen to him a lot, but when I do, I make a point to listen to his lyrics (I've got Swordfishtrombone and Rain Dogs on vinyl, need to...

A couple of weeks ago I saw Stan Ridgeway, the singer from Wall of Voodoo, on his "25th anniversary" tour (not a reunion of Wall of Voodoo, but 25 years since their album came out).

This show was...

Generally, I'm like jpfeifer, I can hear a song a zillion times and have no idea what the lyrics are about.

Occassionally though there'll be a cd where I actually listen to and enjoy the lyrics...

Hey BigK,
Did you install the Fatbody pup yet? If so, how do ya like it?

I haven't seen the ABB since Derek Trucks joined them - you KNOW that's going to sound fantastic! I've seen the ABB a bunch with Warren Haynes & Dickey Betts, and they were always incrdible shows....

Yeah, I know I've got one...and its got great sustain!

I drink a lot of bottled water. Growing up in the suburbs of Atlanta, the tap water tasted so good... but when I moved into the city there was noticeable difference in taste.

A guy I used to know,...

Personally, I think too much is made of the "set neck = better sustain" equation. Its very true in strictly acoustic terms, but as far as playing rock-n-roll electric goes, sustain really depends on...

I know another guy who says the exact same thing....that's why he quit playing electric and just plays acoustic now! (he's a bluegrass picker, but used to play rock-n-roll back in the day...seems to...

Maybe I'm just a hopeless conspiracy theorist, but it seems like as far as commercial radio here in Atlanta goes, they are slowly but surely phasing out the decent free music stations, so you have to...

The few times I've picked up a mandolin or a fiddle I've always been frustrated by that darn upside down tuning....wasn't sure if they were really tuned upside down from a guitar or tuned to...

Cool! I'm not much of a shredder but I've always liked Zack Wylde's playing a lot. Love the way he throws in all the pinch harmonics! I try to do that when I'm in my "metal mode" but I don't have the...

I always have. In a video I've got on playing countryish steel pedal-type bends on guitar, the instructor suggested getting a g string that was unwound...I've thought about that, but I'd have to...

Thanks for posting those links, Tone, been a long time since I'd seen those videos. Weird Al is pretty amazingly talented in his own way...

I have an original POD 1.0 and the Korg Ampworks. I like the Ampworks a little more than the POD, to my ears its tone is a little better, especially on the "Fender" and "Vox" type sounds (for the...

A word of friendly advice...don't get too far behind on your payments to MF, they'll cut you off! Even if you intend to pay with a debit card rather than charge an order, their online system will not...

Excellent film. They did a great job of adapting Frank Miller's graphic novel. I'm a big comic book guy, got to meet Frank Miller briefly once.

I like guitars too... a lot!


Anyhow, back to "Bye Bye American Pie", have you guys heard Weird Al's parody of it? Here's the lyrics...he put quite a Star Wars twist on it:



"The Saga...

Back in january I found out that an old friend of mine whom I had lost contact with and had't seen in a long time had a heart attack and died while jogging.

I didn't know him real well but we...

Yep, he's one of the greats! If you haven't heard "Smokin' At the Half Note" I highly recommend it, its a classic. He's influenced my playing a bit, especially his use of octaves.

His early stuff...

I got a Cab Calloway compilation cd "Are You Hep To The Jive?" about a month or two ago. Great stuff, he had a smokin' band! And his lyrics are pretty darn funny too. Also just got the Brian Setzer...
