While TGP has undoubtedly contributed to my endless cycling through equipment, TGP has - more importantly - steered me towards artists that I may not have discovered on my own. Various threads have turned me on to the wonderful music of Jack Pearson, Tim Pierce, Grace Potter, and Adam Stark/Twist. That is some fantastic music.

Well, TGP did it again! I don't know dognmoon/Corey Witt, but I have read many of his informative threads and enjoyed his demo videos. Somehow, I go from reading a thread on some new Egnater amps to searching out and finding his CD "Strong" on iTunes. And I am so glad that I found this music. Not only are the guitar tones wonderful and complex - as you might expect based on his gear demos, but "Strong" is made up of great songs. Fumble, 1:46, and Love Falls Apart are my current favorites.

A few years ago, I completely stopped listening to all guitar oriented music. Most of it seemed like an endless display of incredibly complex, but ultimately unsatisfying technical prowess. Then, someone on TGP recommended Tim Pierce, and he played SONGS on "Guitarland". It was wonderful to hear. Likewise, Adam Stark and his band Twist played amazingly soulful grooves. The guitar again seemed capable of carrying a song, not just a solo.

"Strong" is the next great compilation of guitar songs in my journey. I am in no way affiliated with dognmoon, and I've never had the pleasure of meeting him. But I highly recommend checking out this CD if you want to hear some tasty tones and, more importantly, some great songs. Good job, dognmoon!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out. I'm a MOD 50 player fan, so it seems a no brainer to down load it.

yeah its currently on its second consecutive run through in my car ... i like it even more this second time ... i like corey's attention to craft .. not just playing, and tone (which are both legend) , but equally his song-smithing, and recording / production values ... my only niggle was feeling a few times like the lead guitar (melody) was not prominent enough in the mix - maybe its just cus i was in the car and it will sound better in ear buds ... but i was very impressed that he put such a killer tune LAST ... i love when a CD ends leaving me wanting more instead of feeling like the last couple tunes were filler ...

i too was taken in by the egnater and Line6 vids ... but there is quite a bit more to corey's bag ...

full marks, friend - you deserve to be proud of your effort and artistic fruits

cheers

not exaggerating, I kinda got choked up reading such kind words about my vanity project. Y'all are tremendously gracious.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
