Went to the show last night, had a blast. Everyone played well, even Zakk's bit was fun. Satriani and crew just destroyed. The naysaying, tan pants, blues junior playing old farts really need to get a clue.
Hendrix was a Fender endorsee. Both Lemmy and one of his other roadies are on record saying that he received dozens of Strats at a time from Fender. He also owned around 100 Marshall tops during his lifetime. The secret to his tone is his hands and 110 decibels.
I got a call early last week to sub in a previous band,as they were firing their guitarist. Told me they'd call me Monday with a date for practice. They never called, not responding to my texts. I get it if they decide to keep the guy, but not calling is totally unprofessional.
No pickguard. Plain maple top and reddish top. He played with a lot of clean tones this time around. I stayed after and got my cd signed, but I was over my beer limit. Bryan Beller looked at me like I was crazypants.
Amazing. Second time watching them and they were great. For those curious, Guthrie was using 2 Charvels and a Victory amp with 2x12. The only thing I could see on the floor was a Fractal unit, no pedalboard. :D
You have the right to support and thank whoever you want to, and I have the right not to spend my money on Vertex's products or your albums (which now I certainly will not).
