Great Thread

I agree Hose. I decided to learn the Travels part from the studio take, just as a challenge, keep my chops up etc. and you can totally tell in that vid. It’s a partial A chord at the 5th fret using open A string, its octave and the major third(C#), then moving to 7th fret, open A + B at the 9th fret and D at the 7th. The guy in that vid is following Emil’s tab which is what I’m using plus my ear for the iffy sections.

I’ll post some pics from the jam room in my house when I get a chance.

Henrietta, what axes are those?

Harry Hood has been learned. Confidence boosted. Not as hard as I thought it was going to be.

I’ve been doin a bit of research on fulltone’s OCD and Full Drive 2 pedals…I’ve pretty much have taken away that the OCD can provide more distortion sounds when the gain is turned very high and that the FD2 is more transparent and warm. I was wondering if any of you guys have had expierence with these pedals and if you can gimme any personal insight on them? I have a ts9 analogman silver that i would be running infront of the OCD or FD2 and am looking for some screaming solo tones with overtones/harmonics- the ones that you often hear from trey. What do you guys think?

Wait. Keith, did you learn how to play guitar from that learnandmaster package or did you have some previous experience/education?

I’ve been curious as to the effectiveness of learning how to play anything through one of these.

#25

^Been playing on and off again since middle school.
Check this one out. I really like the way this guy puts it all together. :thumbup:

#26

Finally got around to ordering the upgrades to this guitar. I’m putting in Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbuckers, Grover 406C Mini Locking Tuners, Pigtail Aluminum Wraparound Bridge w/ full intonation, TonePros Locking Studs, and a new switchcraft toggle switch. Getting the frets dressed and polished with a full setup. Shit is gonna be badass. I’ll post some pics when I’m done.

Kinda just popped back on this site. No shows this year cause cash is a bit tight :frowning: But have some really awesome job prospects coming up:) So if the boys do next year should have an awesome tour (might even take the kids, sense they are becoming little quite the little phans). Reason I’m posting is no one here in my area, S.E. MI plays cool stuff. Sometimes it’s neat, like when I go into the local G.S. and folks think I’m playing original stuff. But mostly I’m surrounded by 4 Steve Vias and a Zack Wylde lol. But I would love to know if anyone in the area would like to get together and jam for a night? Nothing serious. I just been off the green and need an outlet (^ job prospects) I will travel like 50 miles if needed. I seriously cant find anyone around here that wants to play the jam/funk stuff I like. Plus, I’m not a session quality guitarist. I just do it for the escape and hobby. But if anyone is interested or knows anyone, I would love to hear from them. Thx everyone.

P.S. having read my previous posts I have since picked up an Epi 339 electric and a little 15w Orange amp (the amps my daughter’s, but she said I can use it:))

#29

Are people interested in transcribing some specific solos/licks/riffs? I’m working on part of the 12/1/95 Weekapaug at the moment. Let you know when I get somewhere decent.

#30

There’s an amazing ‘Boba Fett’ customized guitar in the nearest Guitar Center store. I’m crushed that I don’t have $700 to spend on my oldest son, who loves teh Boba Fett, and plays a decent guitar. ::checks powerball ticket::

Anyone ever heard of Heritage Guitar Company? Heritage runs out of the old Gibson shop in Kalamazoo, and is still making high quality, small batch guitars after Gibson moved to Tennessee in 1974. Anyway, my friend’s dad let me borrow his Heritage a few weeks ago and it’s just beautiful. Crisp, quality tones and soaring bends. I love it. This guitar is very similar to a Les Paul, I’m not sure the model.

Anyone have a Les Paul? Are they extremely heavy? Because this guitar is pretty heavy. Not like it’s killing by back, but my strat style guitar feels like a baby in comparison.

#32

My buddy used to have a nice Les Paul, yeah heavy as hell! I loved playing it, but was glad it wasn’t mine, lol.

I need a way to improve my rig on the cheap. Not sure what to focus on first. Probably need new tuners - I notice that on older Phish shows, Trey’s way more likely to go out of tune. I wonder if he upgraded his tuners in the early 90s, cuz he’s rarely been out of tune since then…

Then, I’ve just got two single coil pickups, and I suspect an upgrade to those would do wonders.

Lastly, I’m using a Fender solid state that has no ground prong on the plug. I wonder if I should just get that repaired, or ditch the amp for something better.

And even MORE lastly, I have a shameful pedal arsenal. But I want to get the electric rig to the stage more.

#33

meh pedals shmedals, a good craftsman never blames his tools right? Although I would like a looper and a Space Echo! I use a tube screamer and my crybaby, but sometimes just the tube screamer. What I really need is a new electric guitar. I might buy that Heritage that I mentioned above ^, if the man is selling it to me. I think I want a Les Paul style guitar, but I really am attached to the bite of the Fender style neck. Also looking at a semi-hollow body PRS, so ya know, I can totally copy Trey.

Can we talk about Trey’s rig/tone/guitar for a second. That set-up, when hes got 2 tube screamers going through his compressor, must be unforgiving. Like, so much gain you can hear every mistake. Such feedback. I don’t know how I’d handle that. Whenever I listen to Slayer I hear Trey’s tone there. Trey actually plays so heavy but I don’t always notice it cause he’s not doin chugga chugga metal stuff but that’s his tone.

#34

Ooooh baby. That’s a lot of reverb right there. I don’t know where I’d put all that reverb. What kind of amplification do you use? I have spring reverb on my blues jr deluxe, but it would be nice to have a pedal with some variation and intricacy to the sound. Can you also get some nice echo out of that pedal? Would love to hear some results when you’re figure that thing out.

So I just bought Les Paul, and I put a 56 on the low E and a 16 as the high E. Really thick and meaty. Will post a pic soon.

#35

What kind of picks to do y’all use? I’m a fan of things 2.0mm or thicker, usually. So I use the Dunlop Jazz 3’s. I used to use the rounded end often, but when I started playing more bluegrass and Django stuff I went back to the pointy end of the pick. I also started using the ‘standard size’ 2mm Tortex ones because I needed more projection, power, and attack. Damn fiddle, so loud!

I heard Jerry and Trey use the 2mm Adamas graphite picks. I’m thinking about getting some. They aren’t extremely expensive, but I’m so cheap and they aren’t a necessity.

I don’t fingerpick, and I don’t use thin picks except for a bit of novelty on a rare occasion, when I want to strum softly.

#36

I use a Jim Dunlop 1mm… I could see myself going w/ somethin heavier though. Fingerpicking I bare finger it. Hearing other people use picks it sounds clumsy to me … I just turn the guitar up for those tunes.

[size=150]Acoustic guitar players!!![/size]

I’m trying to mic my acoustic for the purpose of gigs and parties. I play a 1952 Gibson LG-1, so that thing does not have a pickup in it. Secondly, I’d rather mic my guitar than use a pickup. So, what are some affordable but quality and durable mics? I’m looking at you ICC, hosemasterflex, and marley!

#38

I don’t like the idea of having the x factor of proximity-to-mic during a gig. I would want it mounted to the soundhole on a tiny gooseneck or something, you know? … to keep its position consistent. But I suppose if you’re gonna mic’ it from a bit of a distance w something fancy like Glenn says, then that’s a different story of wax ball.
