i just seen a bad comment about this!! how the hell can you see anything short of spectacular in this kind of talent no matter if you find it catchy or not!!! go and listen to bloody lady gaga or some shit if you want to be humming pure crap all day like most people!
YES, YES, YES!!!! THIS is the ONE!! Is this probably as fat as you could get w/o a ton of feedback? Or, could you wind it with just a TAD more output? ahaha, I mean - this has a RIDICULOUS sound!! I'm just wondering IF you could get it a LITTLE dirtier because I would like to COVER my mistakes and tuning issues with a little less "clean" sound as you have here. If not - no prob!! This is a THOUSAND times improvement over what I have now!!! Btw - GREAT SONG!! You're a HELL of a composer!
The tool that said you have a ways to go to be "Michael Schenker" forgot to plug in his brain when he got up that day. Schenker will never know what you've already forgotten. Comes from being marinated in the shit for 20+ years. Rock on.
kickass guitar dude! And am I wrong if I say that Waterstone guitars are relatively cheap? I've never heard of that brand before but checked it out on their website so..
hey riffguy! nice plying. but im guessing this is improv? Because you onlly changed scales when you needed to push an octave. its not a bad thing, its just something that happens in improv. good job man
i like the camera, you can see the beauty of the marshalls in this one, i just got my first full stack, its a crate but i love how it looks in my basement
catrolean is a douche and i don't care what u say after u see this but in order to be a musician, you have to know theory. Some people but not very make it by without it but u should know THEORY to be famous! THATS WHY NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE ARE FAMOUS!!!
What are you talking about? Many people who know theory are not famous. All I was trying to say was that the way most people get their Marshall stacks and Les Pauls is by getting a job, working, earning money for themselves, and spending money on guitars instead of a shiny car or house.
thats my plan actually to buy guitar equip 1st than an apartment and a car. im just sayin if u dont know theory, you wont be able to continue being a musician or a rockstar whatever a rockstar is these days
I'm sure he knows theory. You don't have to know anything whatsoever to be a rockstar, but you should if you want to be a musician, though you don't have to. Sometimes people just play what they feel. kudos on the plan. I'm going guitar equipment, rented apartment, and more guitars.
IT seems like nowadays no one wants to be a musician, they want to be a rock star. People don't understand that to live a musician's lifestyle, that means working an ordinary shitty job and not getting everything you want.
You got too much money and too much time....Great!!! Keep the good work. Seriously, are you like CEO of some major company or the music companies just love you????
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
line 6 spider 3 its solid state but sounds like a tube amp and if u do en up getting it get from a 75 watt and higher because u will get more channels to play with hope i helped
that pickups have that fuckin' punchy tone with a lot of harmonic response... they're fuckin' awesome... but i think that you can't buya pickup if you don't try it...
@riffguy $130 USD for a neck & bridge set seems way too cheap, & $130 USD for a single bridge pickup seems waaaaaaaay too much. Please pick another number
@mrmres $130 each is the base price for an open coil humbucker or $250 for a calibrate bridge/neck pair. If you compare these prices to any other boutique hand wound pickup manufacturer, you'll find it's not out of line. I'm not talking about mass production companies like DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan who wind the majority of their pickups on automated machines.
@mrmres you can get dimarzio/seymour/emg pickups from $60-100+ new each,but ive seen several hand wound sets go for upwards of $300. this isnt a bad price.
I know this is a dumb question seeing as how it's a 200 watt amp being played through at least 4 speakers, but I could resist asking since you said you modified the preamp. How loud is this amp at this setting?
I'm only running one amp here, it's a 1971 Marshall Major. The others are a 1983 50watt JCM800 and a 1991 100 watt JCM900. I've modifed them all with a high gain preamp circuit of my own design and I've installed effects loops in the Major & 800.
Hey there, great chops! And beautiful tone too, tons of mojo and taste there. Mind trying to explain a mere mortal how insanely loud that Major is? I mean, 200 Watts through a freaking FULL STACK? Your neighbors must love you. :-P
I can't imagine Ritchie Blackmore needing to juice one of those up to 300 Watts... which he did.
Haha do you think that trying to bring other musicians down will up you? either way riffguy is in my honest opinion the best guitarest ive ever heard even out of all the famous ones. so i suggest you go get a life
Plexi + jcm 900 + jcm 800 + Riffguy = Fire!!!
