my fav guitarist is ROBBIE motherfuckin ROBERTSON

Tele + Some Fender amp = lets your fingers sound good. At least I assume that was his set-up.

I don't know how much love the 60's rock guys get around here but goddamn the Band sounds as tight in their live recordings as their studio stuff. Robbie Robertson's rhythm enough was a huge part of that formula but his major blues licks are always just so warm and well-phrased.

Then there is the solo on Bob Dylan's "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat" which just screams.

I saw Martin Scorsese's Silence in theaters and when Robbie Robertson came up in the credits as the musical director I said "gently caress yeah" out loud and probably ruined the somber mood for folks around me.

100% serious question(s): Who is your favorite guitarist? Did you buy their guitar/amp/gear? Post some youtube videos please.

I want to check out some other cool people. Ok thanks.

I... honestly don't have one. Like, back in 88 when I was 12 it was Slash's playing on AFD that made me sit up and actually take interest in guitar, but I never really tried to ape his style or gear. Mainly because I could never afford to while I was playing back then. Hard to sound like Slash with a Peavey strat copy and a super cheap Charvel solid state amp!

I think part of it is that I fell out of guitar playing in college, and my tastes at that point had shifted more to alternative, grunge, and hip-hop. Then I had a 15ish year gap before I decided to start playing again as a hobby, and at this point I'm too old for any sort of formative guitar hero to have taken hold in my psyche. So there's some guitarists I like a lot more than others, but I rarely try to sound like them.

Since coming back to guitar, the ones I guess I've paid the most attention to have been:

Josh Homme (QotSA)
Annie Clark (St. Vincent)
Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher (Mastodon)
Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero (Rodrigo y Gabriela)

Edit: FUUUUUCK definitely add East Bay Ray in there

In other news, Nailbombs for my new S5521. Cover style? I'm trying to decide between uncovered with black bobbins, plain black covers, or raw nickel. None of the distressed looking ones look like they'll work with the more subdued styling of the guitar.

I want Devin Townsend's Ocean Machine pedal to come out ASAP. Gonna drive my bassist mate mad with endless ambience.

Devin is slowly becoming my favorite guitarist at the moment and one of the things that finally pushed me over the edge into getting fully into him was watching him play around with and talk about that pedal. I need it.

So many great guitarists to choose from, but for my personal live improvisational style (pretty much the hardest thing I've tried to do) I've stolen some of my easiest tools (Dominant 7th Pentatonic, Tri-tone substitutions, and the whole-tone/half-tone scale) directly from the great Robben Ford. He helped me learn how to throw something cool onto the tunraround back when I was stuck in the blues-box for improvising and just jumping from root-position to root-position. Robben's instructional stuff showed me how to comp new inversions and get around the neck in less predictable ways. Dude is a master and he's played with some true greats. He's a west coast guy who has been on the scene for a very long time. I met him in Durham, NC once. He was super groovy (and tiny.)

Any of the live videos from this 1993 show (there are several) are really great examples. I dig his playing (he phrases a lot like a horn player) and he's a great singer. I also dig his band, especially bassist Roscoe Beck who does this two-handed thing where he plays a bass line with his left hand and hammers on what sounds like a Hammond B3 organ with his right.

Here's his cover of Cream's "Politician."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOkeYT62T1k

And here's his cover of "Worried Life Blues," in which Roscoe does the aforementioned bass-line/organ thing (although it's not on camera much.)

HIGH DEFINITION SOUND


This made me chuckle

quote:

Which fluids sound the best? How do they sound different? It's hard to say, exactly. Less viscous ferrofluids flow and shift more easily, but have less residual resonance. The lighter fluids tend to enhance high frequency (treble) tones, react quicker to string movements and sound waves and tend to be more “fluid” and transparent. Thicker fluids react a little more slowly, but sound waves travel through them more slowly too. They tend to really emphasize the Bass and lower-mid tones, have long sustain and produce a thicker, bolder sound. Lower saturation magnetism makes a more flowing and melodic pickup. Higher saturation magnetism tends to be sharper, is less influenced by the sound waves but picks up more of the string movements. Which is better? It really depends on YOUR ears and what YOU want to hear. Certain fluids can sound “rich”, “bassy”, “swampy”, “clean”, “mellow”, “twangy”, “sharp”, “full & lush”, “scooped mids”... you'll hear the difference.

It's a shame it has to be wrapped up in such silly bullshit as I think it's a pretty fun idea that could lead to some cool looking pickup designs. Not too blown away by the video though, they sound fairly standard to my ears (which, to be fair, are literally full of sawdust at the moment).

Ed Hall back in 1990

(They put out a bunch of stuff, all awesome)

He's got a new group here in Austin that's a 3 piece like Ed Hall but more a bit more straight rock drums, but his guitar just throws sound out like crazy, especially live, and every guitar guy in Austin that I know thinks he's a monster.

The 2017 Gibsons have all sorts of new tech in them, DIP switches and whatnot, and you can 100% make them do an out-of-phase thing that makes the Ed Hall sound quite nicely.
