Nice singing, very nice voice - rework your guitar part - it's taking away from your vocals. Play it slower, or mellow out your strumming pattern (think "Crimson & Clover" - maybe not quite that mellow though). This will really let the soul in your voice and the actual passion of the song come ...

I find part of the trick in palm muting with the Variax is moving your hand forward from the bridge a bit and finding a "sweet spot". You can't rest your hand on/against the Variax bridge for muting because your not cutting off enough of the string vibration at the saddle. Moving your hand forw...

Thanks for the video. I tried this, but it didn't work. I have a strange problem where a few of the keys (x,c,q) don't work with the keyboard in place, but once it's lifted out of the laptop, the keys function properly. Any idea what it might be?

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED HE"S PLAYING ALONG WITH THE SONG? It looks good, but you can barely hear what he's actually playing.

I could go on and on, but I'll keep it simple. FUCKING D.

For all you numb nuts who are seeing this for the first time, watch Tenancious D and the Pick of Destiny.

Absolutely beautiful job dude

Yeah right, I was talking about Bell, because he's more concerned about how he'd look in a muscle pose down...

Hey Adam - way to tear it up!!! You make it look so damn easy, when doing that on an acoustic is damn near impossible (it's hard enough on an electric). What string gauge are using?

That is one fine piece of funky engineering. You did an amazing job of distilling Stevie's masterpeiece down to 6 strings. I love your attack, especially on the vocal parts. Brilliant.

Correction. A neutron star was a touch more than several hundred million tons AND cannot fit in a teaspoon. I think he was referring to the fact that a teaspoon of mass from a neutron weighs several million tons - as much as a large ship I believe is the typical analogy. That nothwithstanding,...

What an amazing guitar. It's amazing how much better it sounds than a regular strat. Really, the apex of Leo's achievements. Wish I could afford one.

Great playing! Are you using stock Vax patches? I have a 300 & 700 and they sound flat compared to the sounds your getting. Especially the strat tones, which I'm assuming is what you opened with. Maybe it's a question of technique, but you seem to be getting alot more string nuance, attack an...

Any idea what the body wood is?

HELL YES! RE4 is one of the best games I've ever played. I went back to play again on the Wii but stopped because the graphics were terrible on my LCD. If they offered it with HD and motion control, I would certainly buy it , as it's a true classic. I thought RE5 was a greeat looking game, bu...

You can get a great deal on these things on ebay. It's one of the best deals around. Just be prepared to massage it. I think alot of people give up on it just because it takes time to suss. I've had mine for about four years and plan on hanging on to it until it completely until completely br...

The Epiphone sounds brighter. I surmise it's because the Gibby's pups and wood have aged. As someone else said, could also be the strings. Also might have something to do with the caps - Gibson uses those big bumble capacitors, which are fairly expensive - I doubt they're used in the Epiphone....

@gtrjunky It's unfortunate that you have to call his audience "brain dead". Can you point me to where it says that Bashir read his book and reviewed church history? For the record, I'm not a Bell acolyte, but I find it truly interesting the way he's become a punching bag for his INTERPRETATION ...

Great game, very addicting - I'm on my third play through. My other PSN habits have included Pac Man Championship DX and SuperStardust HD - this has replaced those joneses completely. Once you learn the weapons, particularly equipment upgrading, it really flows. The atmosphere is great, helped...

bella50008 - I don't believe that for one second. Prayer is communication with the Almighty; communication involves listening as much as speaking and comes in many different forms. I respectfully disagree with your interpretation of vain repetition, which for me is moving your mouth without you...

This guy really is bad news. There are really very few people who I despise as much as him. He is a SHAMELESS self-promoter who will do or say anything just for attention, regardless of what the consequences are. I used to watch FOX News on occassion, but will never turn it on again as long as...

PS3 version looks better. Haven't played the game and don't know the specs on each system, but maybe the ps3 was rendered in full 1080p - I think xbox 360 only supports 720. The contrast was better on the ps3 too. Although the difference is marginal, I'm glad I have a ps3.

Sounds very good!!! I hope you mind if I completely rip you settings off!

I downloaded the demo last night on my PS3. The game itself is absolutely gorgeous visually. I would put it up there with Uncharted 2 and GoW. It plays just like GoW, almost disappointingly so. That aside, it seems like it has a cool story - I liked it though, and I rarely like demos. Im pla...

Don't bust this dude's nuts - nice job, and nice balls doing this at your school for public consumption. It would have been better with out the pitch shifter but you were probably going for an organ sound (totally understand - I used it alot in my rookie days - digitech makes it too easy). Kee...

Interesting version - VERY slick. Ed does it by tapping BUT you get major bonus points for your technique. You've got the absolute best volume role technique I've ever seen. I could never come close to the pick/volume roll combination you've got going, especially at that delay setting. Sumpin...

@Pr00Dg That's completely messed up, but not entirely surprising. They might as well put it on the Wii then. Given the fact that it's stretched from 576p, I'm pretty surprised it looks as good as it does. I've seen interviews in Game Informer where Rockstar game designers have actually admitte...

Pete is the man. IMHO the only guy who really understands R&R. Very cool to hear him playing the really old stuff....

Good job! I have the exact same 700. I can't my vax (700 into vetta 2) to sound like that , the acoustic models are either too thin/small, or too bassy. Your acoustic sound was great - what model were you using and what were you running the guitar through?
