@LarryDiMarzio Hello Larry. I have been playing dimarzio since i started playing guitar and currently am using Tone Zone in bridge and Air Norton i neck position. i have a question regarding my single coil (Evolution single currently - previously used evolution set and changed only the humbuckers). Which single coil would be best with these 2 pickups? Im rarely using the middle single, rather in combo in 2nd and 4rth position. Been looking at the True Velvet pickup but im green with the singles.

@eMKayJR

A True Velvet middle pickup (DP175S) should be good.

Morse is the best of the best.... love him...

[PRODIGYat43]

how do you classify steves playing?..it just is beyond other players stylistically!! funk--broken time signatures, his sound, the way the guy changes his switches every three seconds...and his vibrato...there is no closer to perfect playing than this guy

hqhqhq Guthrie Who??? They never can belong to Morse's School. And he knows it.

This is extremely important advice he's giving here. If you wish to improve your playing drastically, practice the stuff he's talking about. It will be hard, it will be frustrating, but it will ultimately prove empowering when you incorporate the techniques into your own playing.

@mf2304 theyre two different techniques, alternate picking follows the rule of strict up and down, every downstroke must be followed by an upstroke and viceversa, economy picking is the most logical way of picking, cause lets say you play a 3 note per string scale or lick, and you start D U D, alternate picking says that the next stroke should be U, but that requires going over the next string in order to pick up, so what do you do? you drag the pick down, like sweep picking, and play the same

@mazingguitar

I´m not Larry, but the answer to your question is simple: You should buy DiMarzio because they are the best pickups to buy.

[eMKayJR]

@LarryDiMarzio Ok, thx a lot :D
