White Dog Eggs posted:Something about this really bothers me but I can't figure it out; That guitar looks like a frumpy woman. The finish looks like a lovely 70s kitchen countertop and clashes terribly with the maple neck and headstock. It's somehow both very ugly and very boring at the same time. Also the fact that only the left dot on the 12th fret is a different color than all the other dots on the neck bothers me. The guitar is too dull to warrant that kind of asymmetry its maker obviously thought was "wacky" and it comes off like it's trying too hard to be cool and failing miserably. And oh yeah... f-holes.

Hey goons, look what I found. I give you a 16+ minute uninterrupted tsunami of molten hot blues jam as played by every bluesdad in the world's favorite stables of guitar players. It is filled to the absolute brim with repetitive, totally masturbatory and boring as gently caress blues licks you've heard billions and billions of times before, but this played by people who have released tons of instrumental albums that at least a few hundred people bought! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaDeIn8wP8c (you're welcome) GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Aug 7, 2015 |

I think that this has already been discussed and somebody described it as "vomitburst" (which I love), but Fender just put this video on youtube today and this thing is extremely my poo poo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rLMt8SoeD8&list=FLnY6l_gprZjBN5wzImaxKpQ  It probably does belong in this thread though. I wish that the pickguard was the regular Jazzmaster shape, and that they didn't use the Strat output jack. but I love blocks and binding and vomitburst paint. edit: also gently caress that bridge

We were living in a 3rd story apt in Tulsa at the time, she was pretty psycho, didn't like my playing either. One spring day she pitched that guitar right out the window....I think to get a reaction. Well, I didn't hit her, I didn't cuss (I don't think), just went down stairs to fetch it. Turned out, it landed in the lawn a foot from the sidewalk, and just had some sod jammed under the bridge. That was it, maybe some scratches. What I'm getting at is, those old swamp ash bodies they made them with, that's some durable lumber. Welp, think I'll run down to the grocery for some popsicles before they close, it's hotter than hell here....

Redo that with Timmons, Robben Ford, Robert Cray, Grover, and the rest of the really creative guys who can either bring new exciting harmonies to blues or do it with real old-school cred. Not really fair to make fun of a shredder (say, Paul Gilbert or Vai, or Satch) for not playing blues with authenticity and genuine blues feel. It's just shooting fish in a barrel.

muike posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPGA3vjMLgE muike, you could have posted Scarified anytime, but it isn't as fun if you don't let Bruce play the harmony. What point are you trying to make? I don't know what the deal is so here is a VERY cool post of Paul playing an original live tribute to Rush called "Hurry Up" and it's a drat fun song; but it wasn't written with Bruce. Check out those chords! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Sg0v4tZBw Completely lacking soul and emotion, right? Like Rush, of course. And here's a LIVE version of Scarified with Bruce playing the harmonies from 1987: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOW_-OESnq0 Ran across this, it's a side of Paul I don't know so well and I enjoyed it a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_j8Zb4LLdw EDIT: Last weekend I played my Seafoam Green JEM at a gig. Since it's still new and pristine I used my old beat-up RG770DX for the weeks of practice leading up to the show, and it got filthy-dirty. Last night I took it apart and cleaned it. I took pictures after, so for the ugly guitar thread I present (again) my 1990 Ibanez RG770DX:  Changes: Chromed dome knobs. Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck position. DiMarzio Blue Velvet in the middle. Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position, with a series/parallel switch on the volume pot. I tend towards leather straps these days but I ran out of expensive guitar straps so I put back the complementary blue colored DiMarzio strap because it reminds me of the old days, and especially Paul Gilbert. I prefer thicker necks, but the electronics and acoustics of this instrument should not be altered. They're that good. This is my ugly post.

GreatGreen posted:Hey goons, look what I found. Never thought I'd say the words, but Vai was the only one who even approached anything interesting there. Even though it was a blues shuffle he was just 'gently caress taste and appropriate playing, this is just what I sound like  ' and went away with the whammy squeals. He's a human on/off switch hotwired to 100% tasteless. Sad he didn't use the Fautusgrip more really.

City of Tampa posted:dick dale is a cool guy and I've seen him perform twice but I never noticed any tort. dick dale is not cool, he has like a mild form of autism. he's probably the gooniest of guitar players. so i see his guitar tech stringing his guitar backstage. i'd never seen dick's guitar up close before. i ask about the stickers, dick was in the next room and barged in with a plate of food from the buffet. he starts telling me about some kung fu or judo poo poo, that the only person who had the same sticker was elvis loving presley. he warns me not to touch his guitar. like 5 times. i'm not within arms reach of it. so i'm just sitting there staring off into space for a bit and dick comes back into the room. he sits down and says "i'm sorry about earlier. i'm a vegetarian and i'm getting fat from cheese" he then asks if the crowd out there did any stupid poo poo like slam danced because he would stop his show if he saw any bullying going on. i'm like, dunno. the flat duo jets were on stage and i didn't notice any shenanigans. he then tells the bass player from my band that he had a stupid haircut and left the room again, only to return about 30 seconds later to inquire about what color cigarettes we smoked, and didn't wait for an answer. lol look at this poo poo http://www.dickdale.com/

I did up a guitar for a legit autistic guy once (his helper was a friend of mine) and he wanted to stay and watch me cut a new nut, so him and my friend ended up sitting on my sofa drinking tea whilst I worked on his guitar in my front room on a portable bench (can't let anyone in the workshop due to insurance reasons, plus it's a shithole). That was kind of weird. GreatGreen posted:holy loving lol. I bet it's hosed in some way. I seem to remember being told by someone that there are loads of lovely second-hand yachts rotting away because they have lots of weird problems with the engine parts wearing out and being impossible to replace? Who knows. Maybe it just smells like piss and fish.

I wish I had some cool Dick Dale stories but I just briefly talked to him about his guitar and he was cool to me. He didn't tell me any judo/Elvis stories about the sticker, that would have been rad.

Who knows. Maybe it just smells like piss and fish. yeah boats like that can be surprisingly cheap, they use so much fuel to operate that it can be like $500+ to move one even a short distance, and once they get old and a little worn around the edges the average yacht customer isn't interested in buying it so it's hard to get rid of. A lot of people live on poo poo like that at live-aboard marinas.
