Groove Epidemic

It´s just the beginning of Groove Epidemic by Greg Howe and Richie Kotzen, from the Project album.

I played it by ear, a lil'bit sloppy, I'm not 100% sure of it so any advice would be welcome ;)


Guitar-boss ds-1 (as a boost)-Korg Pandora-Pc

(I also use a EMG PA-2 preamp boost with the neck pickup)

Whats the PA-2 like?

How much does it boost the pickup and how easy is it to install?

Cheers, Mark

In a clean setting it boost the volume of the pu and add a little bit of gain, just a little like a tube amp with the clean channel cranked. It's specially to avoid the volume drop between pickups.

With gain it really open the output of your pickup but it doesn't increase your volume at all, it`s almost unnoticeable.

I installed it on my own and I'm not a guitar tech but it´s more difficult than change a pickup or something like that.

Hope it helps mate, my english is a bit rotten by now ;)

sorry

That but I think I've a tab file from that video. I really appreciate your support :)

[TruNikkaz]

he still uses the very same technique but his phrasing went from neo-classical to jazzy

which i like both from him, he's a genius haha

if you want i can send you the kotzen one, its a very nice dvd, i have almost every reh and it's my favorite next to the shawn lane ones =]

[neonbebop]

Yeah, I've the Greg Howe one but he doesn't play like that anymore. But you are right if I weren´t as lazy as I am... ;)

[TruNikkaz]

have you ever seen kotzen and howe's REH videos from the 80s??

if you get a metronome and practice those techniques for a year or so it will be second nature and you'll be able to figure out what they're doing

ive learned quite a few licks from that album

[neonbebop]

It would be great but that stuff is way over my skills. Howe & Kotzen are "monster" playing ;)

[TruNikkaz]

one of my fav. fusion songs EVER

you should learn the whole thing, most of the fast stuff is legato and tapping anyways
