On a sidebar... Eric Johnson is playing tomorrow night in Madison, and I have tickets!

All frets, mild 1-7, deep 8-21.

I also don't care for maple fret boards or necks that are too thin. Too many hand cramps to deal with them for me. I'm not a collector or anything, but have owned enough over the past 35 yrs or so to know.

How is that going to work for chording? I would think it could be troublesome.

na that's a common misconception. If you think about about, the fretboard gets in the way. Graceful players only hit the strings anyway; the fretboard is really only there to hold the frets in place. A scalloped neck is best described like this: Picture a note as a tit. Now picture just gently passing over the nipple. That's the note on a regular fretboard. Now picture a nice firm handful on a big fat tit. That's the note on a scalloped fretboard- you got the note by the tits.

I've been playing classical almost exclusively for the last 15 years. The idea of a scalloped fret board seems very odd. I will take your word. But an honest report is due after you get it done.

I currently have 2 scalloped strats. I'm just getting the other 3 done.

I dont. I will dick around with something and eventually put something up. I wish I stayed with it for the 20 years I've had a guitar. I took lessons from mark tiarra before he got into the adult biz. Then somehow I ended up here. I picked up my guitar about 4 months ago. I've been doing drills with my metronome and stuff. I'm getting my chops back pretty quick.
What's the best software to record with? I remember back in the day doing demos on my tascam 4 track lol.

Hey, if any of you are in Vegas...I'll be onstage wielding my Jeff Beck Custom Shop Signature Strat on Friday night at "Whiskey Dick's" on Craig and 15 across from The Cannery Casino. Come on out and enjoy some classic rock and adult beverages. :)

On the first page I posted a link to the unit that I record with.
Zoom recorder
Now that I am really familiar with it I am amazed at what a great job it does. 20 hours of recording in MP3 on a set of AA's. It just works well. I found that right spot in the room I practice in to set it where it balances ok. When I am practice I turn it on and leave it on so it makes one long session. Goldwave is a good piece of software to cut it down to size.

Minte- slow blues in A mp3

Next time I am in Vegas I will look you up. Went to your music site and listened to some of your vids.. You guys sound great!

The Jackson Custom Shop Rhoads Roswell arrived. And it plays great!

I switch off guitars every time I practice. I am finding that this Jackson likes Satriani.
I'm working on Engines of creation. The 59 humbucker has serious punch and the guitar sustains better than my Les Paul. It's different only having one pickup. What it does is make you concentrate more on the scales and postioning. I really like this guitar because of that.

bns666 03-05-2013 07:34 PM

i am seriously considering to start playing guitar again, but i am interested in sort of raw trashy and heavily distorted sound like jsbx.

already found some stores in london with decent selection of vintage guitars so i might pick something there during my next visit.

eastwood has some nice airline guitars replicas but they look too new for something i am looking for, however i might buy one of those.

You can't go wrong with a Strat. I don't think there is a more versatile instrument out there.

Some Guy 03-05-2013 10:32 PM

I really, really, really want to start recording music again. I used to have a sweet Boss recording studio that was pretty epic but it shit the bed after only two years. Frustrating considering it cost me $1,500.00 and I didn't get to use it that much. Ugh. Now if I want to record something I have to use my shitty webcam which is just that - shitty.

I have three of them ... my current favorite being a 2006 Eric Clapton Signature Fender Stratocaster. Its a white one with the noiseless pickups.

My other is a 1993 Sunburst w/gold lace sensors, Rosewood board and a 1999 Black w/gold lace sensors, Maple board.

All three have entirely unique voices but are also incredibly versatile for any style.

Last friday the reigning king of the Strat Eric Johnson played in Madison. I had front row seats. The tones he gets out of his guitar are nothing short of impressive. If you haven't seen him he is just starting a 2013 tour and is well worth the price of admission.
