Hello again. This time with a song from the 2001 album "Diamond Gods: Interpretations of Bowie". This song was arranged and interpreted by Brix E. Smith. This lady is amazing and here is a little on her life:

"Throughout the 1980s, Brix Smith maintained one of the of the most divergent careers in pop music: she was simultaneously guitarist in the Fall, one of the most deliberately abrasive and confrontational post-punk acts, and the leader of the downright bubblegummy pop band the Adult Net, which maintained a fine line in vintage 1960s cover songs."

Boy!, do I love her voice and her interpretation of this Bowie's classic!

I hope you like it too. Sorry about the sour chords. There are four of them (if you listen closely).

Now, the gear: Lester the 2nd. Epiphone Les Paul Custom stringed with brite wires 10-46 thru an Ibanez Tube King preamp distortion thru a Boss DD-7 digital delay (reverse delay settings) thru an Electro Harmonix Hum Debugger into a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb RI amp.

Hope you like it and check back often.

Cheers!

Yeah! She's a great singer and the arrangements she made to this song are awesome... It gives the song a completely different edge...

Damn sweet sound! I dig it man!!!

[achcautli]

Thank you! I really like those reverse delays... Brixx Smith did a great job with this song... I'm just ripping it off... Thanks!

Yup, this is awesome... Thats not the Les that Ive seen previously is it?

The only thing with this guitar is that when I use some effects or my compressor (which is a Keeley C4)it over compresses and the guitar loses all articulation, but I am going to fix that: I'm getting Kashmir pickups from Stan Hinesley. You should check them out, specially the audio clip from Chet Hinesley, you will see how gorgeous those pickups sound.

Nope, this is not the LP that I used in the other videos. The other one was a Gibson LP studio and this one is an Epi LP Custom. I traded my old Gibby for this one. Some may say that I am an idiot (specially one of the guys in the music store) hehe, but I dig this guitars and the way they look. It plays exactly like my old gibby. They weigh exactly the same. I had to do adjustments to this new guitar (approx 47 minutes), you know, action, truss rod and pickup adjustments.
