Blues-Rock Guitar Improvisation

A quick little improv using a backing track from Geoff Whitehorn's "Minors Allowed" guitar column. Excuse the thin sound, camcorders don't capture sound well. The guitar is an Ibanez Artcore.

Hi, great sound this amp is an peavey valveking 112? using any pedal? awesome sound, thanks.

[cjballendine]

It's a 112. Screamin blues pedal combined with just a bit of onboard distortion. I swapped out the tubes and speaker as well.

What is the exact model of the guitar man? :) it sound awesome(i know its the tubes and the eminence....and the shirt)

[cjballendine]

It's an Ibanez Artcore AS103. Judging from my experience as well as what I've heard from other users, it's one of the best mid priced semis around.

Great sound! I have the same axe man...love it. Blows away a gibby 345 I have! You took the pickguard off!?

[cjballendine]

I prefer the feel of the guitar without the pickguard. Who needs "name" guitars like Gibson when this is just as good. My Epiphone Flying V blows away any Gibson V I've ever tried.

Hey Guy, I really enjoyed your improv.! Your style is very distinct and noticeable! Yeah the guitar is nice but you would sound good on anything! Way to go! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

very tasty - your improv skills are way ahead of mine - I used Geoff's blues minor backing as a study piece to solo over a 12 bar minor chord progression
