I did that on guitar hero yesterday.

My guitar never sounds like that when I play it...other guys play it and it sounds great...I don`t think it likes me...

re: #2 gibsonz

Are you pressing all the right buttons?

re: #3 DeathtotheSwiss

Are you pressing all the right buttons?

Obviously not...!

That guy has great technique, but more than that is the feeling that goes into it.

If I only had the music in me like that.................

ROTFLMAO, if I played that video loud enough my neighbors/apartment complex manager would call and tell me to turn my guitar down.......

That's not the guitar I knew.

I think it's an Ibanez he's playing.

re: #8 Li'l Mamzer

I think it's an Ibanez he's playing.

When you play like that, well honestly who cares what you do to the guitar when you are done playing?

re: #18 MandyManners

Ear plugs for you.

I recently bought a pair of electric guitars and amps for me and my son.

We're in competition to see who can suck the least, soonest.

Japanese guitars with a Spanish name. Go figure.

re: #32 gibsonz

I can't play anymore. After about 5 minutes my left hand
goes to sleep. Nerve damage from an accident. But I really
love a good guitar picker.

NICE tone.

I want whatever it is he's got for backend.

Try it again. Didn't work for me the first time, but it's
hilarious.

Try refreshing. Liveleak is buggy today.

Looks like the Michigan Manatee's Freedom fighters are at it again, making it a point to try and spoil what should be a joyous day for the Iraqi people....

Hello, fans!

ROFLMAO!

al-Guardian and some "Palestinians" in a rare moment of truth and clarity, with a couple of delicious money quotes:

A secret fresh start: former Palestinian collaborators forge new life in Israel

Samir is not his real name, for this heavy-set, 52-year-old Palestinian is scared to reveal his true identity. This is his fresh start, his reward after working for more than 20 years in secret in his native Gaza as a collaborator with the Israeli security forces. "I don't regret any of my story," he said. "I'm very happy that I helped the state of Israel. Here everything is straightforward, not like with the Arabs. Here there is a law and there are rights.

(....)

"When the Israelis ruled Gaza people lived like kings," said the man, who is aged 58. Like other Palestinians here he takes a hard line on Gaza, saying only a major Israeli invasion will halt the rockets. "Only when the army go into Gaza can they finish it," he said. He accepts now his life is in Israel, where he boasts of his children's good school grades and his large Mercedes car. He too understands he can never go back to Gaza. "They would make a kebab out of me," he said. "They'd chop me into pieces."

re: #10 right_on_target

Advice...don't get acoustic. It won't sound like he wants to. There are some great guitar and amp starter kits out there and the electrics are much easier to play since the strings can be a lighter gauge and sit closer to the fret board.

Lol.

Sigh..........................starter kits, well I guess you got to start somewhere. I mean whats the point in spending a grand or more on something that you might never follow up on.

This thread died way to soon.................No way for a great guitar player to go out...........

That was incredible- thanks for sharing it with us, Charles.

Jeez. I thought I was the ultimate MESA/Boogie freak - I've had over a dozen of them since my first Mk I back in 1977 - but I never had a lineup like that. Andy's an amazing player. Not just speedy flash, but well constructed improvisations with subtlety and soul.

Finally something worthy of my first post. LOL I've known about Andy Timmons since before his "hair metal" days and he is absolutely one of the best. Thanks for giving him some well deserved exposure!

Well stated, HUCBALD. Well placed and carefully thought-out playing here. No need to shred. I really liked those occasional forrays into some harmonic minor ideas. Tasty.

And Hucbald does know a thing or 1,000,000 about guitar playing. Dude shreds with the very best of them.

I like these selections of music.

Charles has an amazing ability to find the true freak of nature incredible guitar players of the world.

U.S. government helping fund Islamic Saudi Academy

You know the Islamic Saudi Academy: the one that teaches mainstream Islamic concepts such as the killing of apostates and adulterers. Patrick Poole reports in "What Virginia’s Islamic Academy Doesn’t Want You to Know" at Pajamas Media, June 13:

The Bush administration considers the Saudi government to be one of our allies in the War on Terror, and that support extends to the Islamic Saudi Academy as well. Cinnamon Stillwell recently noted an article in the Mount Vernon Gazette that reported 22 soldiers from Ft. Belvoir had recently graduated from the Islamic Saudi Academy’s “Arabic as a Second Language” program. This means that the school is not only being funded by the Saudi government, but also our own government. Deputy Assistant Secretary of The Army Dr. Lynn Heirakuji and the U.S. Army’s Deputy Assistant for Foreign Languages Erol Smith attended the graduation ceremonies.

No doubt we’re all grateful that our government is so adept at identifying who our enemies really are.

Patrick has much more -- about criminal activities going on in the school, and more official indifference. Read it all.

The question that comes to mind, why are our tax dollars paying for this?

doriangrey! I didn't know you were a lizard!

Excellent.

Charles, being a bad-ass guitar dude himself - former Zappa sideman! - tends to come up with the coolest guitar snips.

Here's a guitarist who is relatively unknown
and under-rated, except by those in the know, like Billy Cobham.
Talk about a clean sound. I found Timmins' playing a bit too grinding on my ears.

Catch Jeff Pevar:

and watch him go wild on slide guitar.

Jeff Pevar is one hell of a guitar player!

Sweet, its not me, but he is an excellent guitarist....

... and now, none other, than a true Master

Jeff Pevar is the Andre the Giant of guitarists. Notice how he's so big he makes his Tele look like a toy and his hands are so big the neck looks like a strand of spaghetti? I bet he's at least 6'5". And all fingers, no pick!

Amazing.

Amazing.

He plays his guitar just like Jeff Beck, which is why I posted a Beck tune. Same finger picking style...I think Jeff used it first though.

Yea, Lindsay Buckingham also uses it.

I wonder what his 12~ button foot switch does.

Anyone know?

It’s not explained fully at his site since he is using more than two Mesa amplifiers with mics for each bottom cabinets but here is what the advertisement says:

Stiletto Deuce stage II Head and two 2x12 Rectifier Cabinets:

...Assign 2 or all 4 El-34 power tubes to each channel for power ratings of 50 or 100 per channel {one would assume that is 50 to 100 watts RMS}

2 Fully Independent Footswitchable Channels with 6 voicing modes:
Channel 1 features fat clean, Tite clean, or Crunch. Channel 2 features Crunch, tite Gain or fluid drive. {sp on some of the words}
