what's that first chord called? It's at 0:01

I use it sometimes, and I've seen other people use it as well, but have never found out the name.

[JohnnyFriendly]

@hazuinf just good ol' E major. You need to play all open strings and then hammer on the E to get the effect (no idea what that's called tho)

[hazuinf]

I really want this guitar!!

Would you recommend it for a blues-garage-punk(ramones, etc.) sound?

Also, how's the lead/rhythm versatility? Is it strong in one and weak in the other? Equally strong in both? Thanks!

[JohnnyFriendly]

@hazuinf It would work well for that kind of application. Pair it with a good fuzzbox and you can get an authentic seeds/stooges/ramones tone.

I've sold it now but at the time I thought the strength of this guitar was the bridge pickup. The other positions were ok but i don't think they had enough character for rhythm but maybe that's just me.

@JohnnyFriendly

Cheers. What amp were you using here?

I'll keep that in mind, thanks again

@Rogeras32 Ok - depends on how you define "Punk" but basically there was a big garage rock culture in the mid-'60s that came to be labelled as "Garage Punk" around 1972 and that sound became a big influence on the Pistols, Ramones, Damned etc.

So let's just say that the roots of Punk were hatched way back in this '60s in someone's garage/bowling alley in Michigan or somewhere.

[JohnnyFriendly]

@TeenageShutdown01 I totally agree with you. Totally. The problem is, if you want to get the sound that the old-timers got in today's world, you have to pay big, either for one of these or a real one.

But yeah, the irony isn't lost on me.

[heyanimal45]

Dude, i loop this with some of your other riffs for the gym... fuckin AAAAAA

[hazuinf]

Hear*

[hazuinf]

Revisiting the video that convinced me to get a Dano Pro, staying to here the amazing playing. I wish I could make mine sound like that ; )

[hongdekong]

your album is good, but you should play in a band. It sounds kinda lonely with just the guitar.

[RocknLester2011]

I could see ya Playing some old Kinks and Link Wray on this no doubt!! just add more reverb and some tremolo!!

[RocknLester2011]

nice trashy garage rock sound!! ugly as hell guitar though!

[micmoable]

Like the tone and playing---I typically don't like odd-shaped guitar bodies but this one ain't so bad--kinda cool---like to hear you play blues on it---I love playing bluesy stuff myself

[CaptainWampum]

God damn, that is just the best fucking guitar tone.

[gnowave]

@JohnnyFriendly and johnny rotten was an ealry hawkwind freak, he said if their was no (early) hawkwind, there would have been no sex pistols!, who would have thought that huh?

[hazuinf]

@jactosentalerant69 agreed, but I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic
