I love the sound that comes out of his guitar, but the facial expressions are just a little too much put on... Alex wins the most constipated looking guitarist award hands down!
I wish there was a band in my town that played this kinda music every week.. No clubs or bars here play nice melodic fusion whatever..Unless someone comes to town..No, just burn out country or hip hop, so digested dying out elsewhere. Or like slipnot ,filling our ears with trailer trash rot, The band ''corn'' even made a song and video filmed right here called ''oildale leave me alone''This guitar player here would not play oildale
They say girls think guitarists are hot..... Well, they just think what guitarists can do with there hands is great. Thumbs up if playing guitar helped u satisfy your woman!
I seriously cannot get enough of Alex's playing. He's one of my favorite guitarists for a number of reasons. He doesn't seem cocky, he's not a showboat, and he doesn't just shred as much as possible. When he does shred, it still sounds so beautiful instead of just pure wankage. Let's not forget about his pinky control, either.
I have yet to hear a certain thing about him I haven't liked... and I mostly listen to brutal death metal and grindcore. That's saying a lot coming from me.
@AtanasovPeter It's kinda more just opinion at there level :D . Alex is more a fusion player ^^ , guthrie more a blues type, but both are incredible guitarists :D
he said no pedals, not no effects. i know that he has added reverb because the amp does not have reverb. there has to be some compression too. he's probably sporting a pretty good sized rack full of effects on this.
How the F**k is there no pedals??? Where is the distortion and tone coming from??? CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME, b/c this is the dopest tone iv ever heard
@GhettoDope7lc DUDE! Laney GH50L head! Get one!! I did, largely due to this guys vids on here. Sick amp, and cheap! Got mine mint condition used for 400 bones shipped to my door from evilbay. Thick and juicy and smooth, yet still incredibly bright with tons of bite and clarity. It's a crime that these are so cheap, but I'm not complainin! Great classic Marshall tones as well as more modern gain possibilities, takes pedals really well also. Go now and get one!
Nice ability:now lets hear his versatility outside the blues scale.These blues player's a lot of them have great phrasing and skill but they stay in the box too much as this guy does.I just checked out 5 different song's by him but none I would be able to tell you the name of in a day or be able to tell who it was.He sounds like a session player to me.
can anyone tell me the brand of his guitar? it seems a music man hybrid with telecaster shape, but I can't figure it out.... thanx! beyond technique and resources, he absolutely makes a statement in every song.... awesome work, Alex!
Davie I think you're hearing the reverb that the engineer added, and probably EQ and probably multiband compression on the whole mix, etc. - but I think what they are emphasizing with the "no pedals" annotation is that his sound comes mainly from his touch. He has just enough gain to make it sound "gain-y" and it sounds smooth b/c he plays smooth as ****! I.e. no comp, no Ge diodes in "compress-y" ODs...
@johnnythreebyfive hey maan, yeaah he does, he uses a mixture of standard tunings ands that one. he came to my school yesterday for a masterclass, he's taught some of my friends guitar aswell xD
@PaoloCastilloMusic There is compression happening in the amplifier. If there wasn't, there wouldn't be distortion as you hear it. The reason it sounds distorted is because the sine waves are larger than what can be handled by the tubes, so the "crest" is lopped off in various shapes depending on a number of other factors. Anyways, what you have is a rise in overall signal(the preamp tubes passing a larger signal to the next) and a volume reduction when a stage(4) meets its limit. Compression :)
I love Alex's "Feeling Fine" and "Happy as Larry". But everytime I hear another song of his...wow, he is great. Nice tecnique and passion! Always playing better!!! Also has a great tone! Amazing gear!
No Pedals! haha. That's what I'm talkin' aboot.. I'm the same way. Jam on, my brotha.

Jeez... STRAIGHT TO THE AMP? Alex can probably plug into a freakin' potato and he'd still have that tone.
That's some serious dynamic control to play those legato licks without a hint of compression.
