Gotta love the Lonestar man!! I have been playing thru a Lonestar 2x12 for about 6-7years now.It is truley my workhorse, it shows up at all the gigs and has NEVER let me down!! Very well built and it can compete with any "Boutique" amp out there(anyone say Two Rock for 4 more grand?)Nice feel,nice playing man!Mesa Boogie Rules!

Peace

I love your tone, your guitar, your play... and your facial expression.

[BLU3SBR0THA]

Absolutely love your tone and your expressions, I personally feel my own blues expressions are too epically epic to capture on camera. (Or perhaps I'm just afraid of breaking my camera!) At any rate, feel free to check out my own take on The Thrill Is Gone, using a backing track that WASN'T that, but at least Bm in the memphis style. I'm just getting back in the saddle so to speak, stay tuned ;) No pun intended of course!

@frnezykiller (Not aware in the slightest your knowledge of guitar so I apologize if this is bordering on remedial for you) If you will learn the notes in a Bm pentatonic scale, then look for those same notes in other spots on the neck, you'll quickly begin to see what those "boxes" are that agrianlagman referenced in his reply to you. In some cases you'll need to "step outside the box" to reach one of the required notes, or another of the notes in the B minor scale itself often as gracenotes

I listened to this like 6 times. The first time I heard it, I was gone rag your but...but the more I listened, the more I got it....you do a truly remarkable job. You made it your own...which is important, and after listening several times, you keep it in the essence of the song...great job dude. I change my strings about every 3 weeks....I have several guitars, and if one get negleted playing time, strings may stay on longer...but I keep them changed regulary

Sweet! Play it young man! Peace 2 All!

[Mherkava]

Very nice! Excellent!!

A little something if I may...throw some agressive bitterness into it, it's one of the King's trade-marks. You're ready to let loose! Let it rip and spill out...well only love it.

nice guitar ;)

ibanez prestige <3

@frnezykiller theres more than one box per key. essentially, you can play a b minor run in 6 different boxes across the fretboard.
