I think his point about laying back is to play even and avoid making compressors do the work of evening your tone out as much as possible, because even the best can't do that job half as well as just playing it evenly in the first place. So his main point is a good one.

But if a song calls fo...

She's like if Wanda Jackson could turn it on and off, amazing voice. I love her band too, especially the utility dude I see doing something different in every video. He plays trumpet? Well, of course he does.

Why are people talking about a Bigsby? Danny Gatton don't need no stinkin' Bigsby. If he wants to do both sides of a bend around A he freakin' jammed a G up a whole step and wrangled that puppy around however he saw fit. Because he was Danny freakin' Gatton. The only bender used in this vid i...

Just noticing in the background the plastic bag on the microphone - do not do this, ever. It attracts moisture out of the air into the bag and messes up your mic in potential shorts, rust, and waterlogged membranes (depending on membrane type). Use a breathable bag like a crown royal bag or som...

That's gotta be one musical ass family he comes from. 11 and he's incredible!

Recipe for shoegaze guitar - buy a reverb pedal. Now buy another. Not shoegazey enough? Buy another reverb pedal. Oh, and get a Fender amp and crank up the reverb.

@TheRightThinker Let me get this straight - you are telling me Michelle Obama, the sitting first lady, is known for being a tax cheat and a racist, and then go for the "you don't attack someone in that position" argument about Michelle "I slander people for a living" Bachmann? Do you not see how...

So bs, you're running it as a remote desktop or a third monitor - based on speed and interactivity with the session on the mac I'd vote for the latter. It is not an iPad app (yet).

Great video - you have me thinking about adding some more room in for high gain tones, which I haven't really considered much before.

A lot of people are liking the V30 better because of the extended range of that speaker, but remember that you guys need to put this in a mix - which means you ...

@ramzipeepee They ARE a hippie band. They still do very, VERY well for themselves on the tour circuit too.

@SorenHighwind You need to hear maggot brain from these guys.

@rodneyray I have a VG99, which is supposed to do guitar to midi, but it's guitar to MIDI is a little off - is the GR-20 better at this? I am trying to control Native Instruments stuff on my computer through a midi express, tryign to find the best interface to do this.

@FederalReverse Yeah, and then they realize they're one of the great poets/songwriters of their generation. I've known plenty of unproductive egotists, but did they write great music that is still being enjoyed 40 odd years later? Morrison would have been a tortured artist either way - maybe he...

Those are some mean-ass babies in that wave.

She was a big part of what made The Last Waltz so special - you really get taken on an emotional ride with all of the evocative songs - notably her, Neil Young and The Night They Tore Old Dixie Down. That was the best paced concert film ever, the impossible set list of a passionate music lover b...

She is really good - a breath of fresh air in the sea of YouTube "hot chick picks up a guitar and barely holds on to someone else's tune" videos. This chick is a real musician.

Diana Krall may not have the country singing chops of Patsy Cline, but she DOES have phrasing that's up there with (ok, close to) Willie and Frank Sinatra - two other great singers that didn't let a lack of natural gifts stop them from being among the best singers of the modern era. And she's a ...

@sjohnsjakie Spoken like someone who's never heard a note played by Victor Wooten. The grooviest player you mentioned by far. And check out Stu Hamm holding it down for Joe Satriani - he knows how to lay back and play bass when he's not releasing a solo record.

I don't disagree with your basic...

@Playstation3Coffe Crazy good songwriter - nobody's been this forward thinking and original while keeping such solid roots in RnB/Soul since, dare I say, Prince.

@bobcat965fm Fair Warning has the best guitar playing here and there but overall most inconsistent album of the Dave era. That is the tour I wish I'd seen them on other than Diver Down. I really like the experimentation of Diver Down, the rockier bits on that one are among the most rockin' (Ful...

@psych380 There was Keith Partridge, Andy Gibb, Sean Cassidy back then. 20 years from now a few middle aged women will say they had a crush on the Beebs, but he's not going to be remembered much for anything that means much.

What this generation needs to think about is that there really isn't a...

Starts with fIREHOSE on the Mike Watt bass!!!!!! I've been looking to put together a Mike tribute bass and this might have to be the platform - don't like the bolt on but don't like the 34" scale on the EB-3 and sure don't want to pay used prices for an original and then tear it up for the Bartos.

@foxybrown2 Given that it's the Karma engine, I think it's the old Oasys at the price it should have been. There are a lot of user interface improvements, tho.

So, maple isn't rare, and as a tonewood for a solid body it's just horrible. I had a Zion experiment with solid maple - BEAUTIFULLY built, but that sound was just awful. (Wasn't too peeved, though, I got a real original Floyd, innards and a beautiful neck for $500, one Warmoth body later and th...

@dingdingbong1 While I agree that race has nothing to do with it, culture does. And there is an AMAZINGLY vibrant church drummer culture in largely black Baptist churches. It's an awesome thing, and it produces a lot of awesome drummers (and singers).

@twitchieful I hear what you're saying about managing your own land, you may not have the time or ability to take out the whole local population just chasing them down one by one with a rifle, but a lot of people (most) do it for sport and it's a pretty gruesome sport. Protecting your fields/liv...

@uwishuwerme14 If you want full floating as an option AND a D-Tuna, get a tremol-no. It's still an either/or proposition, but at least that way you do have both options. Just keep the D-Tuna in E position when you're set to full float and set the tremol-no to dive only or hardtail when you want...

@ifenderbender Quite often the problem is that the suppliers aren't making a crucial part any more. Like with wahs - there was a huge wah drought in the '90's until some people started rolling their own inductors (thank you Whipple!), then the halo came back, the red fasel came back, and then fi...

Shawn Lane was so fat because of the steroids he had to take for the disease that eventually killed him. So please lay off the fat stuff.

I have a Rott/Shep mix I got from the ASPCA, got a 6 month old kitten a few months later - they are best friends, the cat always curls up with the dog and washes him. Have another cat who started out afraid of dogs, now knows that this dog isn't something to worry about. Also have twins who wer...
