Before you start working out you're own version I'd learn the one from the record. It will make your version better. It wasn't bad though. not an easy tune. You're also pretty young to be tackling something like that. Get some live stuff and hear different versions of that song. watch how Jimmy can do the whole thing fluidly live. Great dynamic player. he works the volume and tone if you can see the song remains the same. watch him change the tone & volume and try and hear that as well as do it.
Ok this sucks. I can't decide between Bogner(Shiva or Ecasty), Soldano(Decatone), Marshall(JVM 210h), Mesa/Boogie(Stiletto). I have a Vendetta 4.0 Floyd(I put a schaller OFR and took out the licensed) pickups are Dimarzio Steve's Special and Air Norton. In a hard rock band, been using a solid state now I got some serious money. Any suggestions?
It sounds good but what a shame to fit these great pickups on an Epi.
If a Gibson is too expensive then choose an Edwards or an Agile. These guitars are much better than an Epi at almost the same price and feature the same woods as Gibsons.
The nice playing you have would immediately give you a better sound again.
Timing was off here and there ("pocket"), but really, it's not bad. I, for one, prefer improvisation over note-for-note copycat attempts, so never fear the improv:D Oh, and did you ever play that Epi when it was stock, and if so, what did you think of it? (This Strat guy needs to diversify pretty soon:))
Nice tone. Nice playing. Very tasteful - great control on those bends too. I used to own an Epi LP standard - one of the best playing guitar I've owned. Wish I kept it, but now I build my own (a stock '57 Strat and '52 Tele). Nice sound, nice tone, and great control of those bends - very tasteful...
exactley a guy in my class keeps winning about: my guitar is better and expensiver then yours and he plays the guitar bad :S im happy with my guitar it sounds good and its plays good thats the most important thing :-)
yea i use a warmoth les paul, that i did all the work myself on, finishing, wiring etc, its better than a Gibson les paul, and was only a third of the price, hopefully ill get a camera soon so i can make some videos of it
I hear lots of complaining, but the truth is that a real player can pick up a totally shit guitar and make it sound amazing! Tone and most importantly, phrasing is in the fingers. That being said, when the issue comes down to money vs quality then Carvin gets my vote! But I've made some amazing sounds w/ EPI's and Gibsons even though it's true that they are inferior guitars when compared to past models.
I would agree with you to the extent that Gibson are resting on their reputation and releasing shite at this point...money spent doesn't always equal quality received. But I have a gibson that is about 25 years old and the thing plays amazingly...blows modern Gibsons away.
it does depend these days which guitar of gibson you take, i have a les paul standard faded and it's better than some normal standards from around now and mine plays like butter too!
Completely agree. There is only so far you can go with an Epiphone. You buy a Gibson and how much easier it is to play and bend to tone, and keep in tune...it leaves you with a greater mental capacity to be inventive with your improvisation.
Lets see you come here watch his video and that's all you've got to say is he's gay for putting on a zep shirt, no coments on his playing or the great tone just he's gay. What are you like 12?
I'm glad I saw this video it changed my mined as I was just about to buy a carr amp. The tone you get on this is spot on great job. I live in Canada and have just found a dealer in Toronto witch is not far from me so I'm going to grab the LP and test drive one of these bad boys. Look for a video soon.
yeah man, it's really really good! I use it for all my guitars, as I carry head and FX in both hands when going to rehearsal, so the stable backpack comes in rather handy.
I wonder why guitar center doesn't carry Bogner. Marshall would probably be very much opposed, who they buy lots of stuff from. I want to test drive one of those suckers, but I can't even find one, haha.
Out of all of the Bare Knuckles, this has the sweetest British tones. Very versatile. I can hear early Sabbath tones in there, too.
