  • Thanks bunhole!!! Did you want me to go check out your channel or something? I don't do that anymore. I never see anyone that actually plays the guitar ~ just usually some internet facade trying to get attention. Now, if you REALLY play, you have to realize I was concentrating on the Sustainer. My arpeggios and articulation suck bad. I purposely played "outside" the scale structures (modes) ~ if you wanna see BAD check out my "annoying guitar" vid. Have fun leaving comments ~ Peace Beavis.

  • Carthsgtr - If you are looking for attention or "extra views" I'm sure you can find another way to do it. You are probably ANOTHER little boy - and I am fairly sure that you have a long way to go before you will be in the same league that I am (as far as guitar playing is concerned)- now, on the matter of "infantilism" and possibly diapers, you surely have me beat. This is not a tutorial on arpeggios. Go home and take your rubber duckies with you. Mmmmkay pumpkin?

  • Yes, it did take some balls to drill into that guitar... I'm sure Steve said the same thing when he had his Sustainer installed, no?

  • Hey Fluffy! Eye opener here? We all know that my arpeggios suck. It's not rocket science. What about the notes that I resolve that are totally out of key? Don't those suck too? You think I'm gonna sit down and practice arpeggios or something? I could care less. I just came off the road and started jamming. No warm up. Guitar playing is just one of many different interests in this f'ed up world. Who cares? I live spontaneously, just like I play. Deal with it bud. Cool?

  • Good question! I believe the tune (if I remember correctly) was in the key of B minor... so, I suppose I played in nearly every mode of that scale. I may have spent a little more time in some modes than others, but basically you are hearing B minor, D major, probably quite a bit of the Lydian... and then of course, the ad-lib hybrid chromatic, "outside" and wanna be arpeggios... ha ha. Very sloppy playing, but at least the Sustainer gets used in a more 'musical' setting.

  • I hired a Certified Luthier to deal with all the wiring and routing. You have to route out an area for the module. You also have to route out an area for the 9V battery, but what he did was used the input jack (on the Jem it comes in from the side of the guitar) The battery fit nicely into the original jack area. All he had to do was add an input jack then to the back of the guitar, but he did it without digging any new holes. I would never attempt to install a Fernandes Sustainer by myself.

  • Since all your comments are saying that everybody is pretty much little boys craving for attentions i'll say this. I'm a song writer/solo artist who writes modal songs and dare I say I do like shred a lot. Just hought i'd speak for everybody else you instantly deem a little boy craving attention is that your arpeggios weren't even in the same key, your soloing didn't follow changes or anything. If you're going to make a video demoing something at least follow the chord changes.

  • thats pretty damn cool sounding man..was it alot to get the sustainer installed?.i know that guitar is $2500 as it is

  • Musically, you're dreadful.
