Old Joad

awesome, thanks for being so cool about it.

i really like the sound of the lead guitar, are you using a Boss DS-1 distortion unit? the harmonic notes you're hitting sound sweet..

this was a cool tune...

and a cool guy.

The Youtub link has an error...

nice mix, the laid back groove is sweet...

This rocks, love the hard left / hard right guitar... cool vocals...

Killer, i like the way the keys and the Les Paul sound together...

 

 

i got my LP in 97.. still plays like a dream

I like his series What Makes This Song Great.. but you also have to remember he wants to sell you a book, and a mug.

 I know for a fact that Pete Townshend used a click track when he recorded songs at his home, and then went into the studio where Keith Moon used the same click to record the drums.. i play my own drums and i use a click track, but i wouldn't look down on someone using the session Drummer program. I still tend to speed up and slow down because i'm anticipating the next bit..

Hey,

Thanks for checking out the video, buddy, I greatly appreciate you taking time to check it out and your encouraging comments!😀

While I do use a lot of Drop D on my stuff, and quite a few other strange alternate tunings, this one is actually in Drop B, which is really low and a bit touchy if you don't have the guitar setup for super low tuning.  I also use DR DDT special Drop Down Tuning Strings on a couple of my guitars because they perform a bit better on really low drop tunings, and allow you to change to different low tunings without too many intonation problems.👍

Thanks again for commenting, and have a good one!

Bob

 

wow drop B... Sure gives the guitar a nice voice...

So I talked to my friend again and he told me the name of the video on youtube.

I only care about the strat" part of the video... How to intonate your guitar the right way

now that i've seen the video it doesn't seem to far out there...

I want to go on record because I've been noodling with music for 45 years..... and I've never been on vinyl - and chicks think its cool , unfortunately I'm too old to be cool ( according to ACTUAL cool people ).

 

Intonation  ( in my mind - is about setting the 12th fret to center of the open string between nut and bridge, in incorporates scale length,  string tension, string gauge and  can be greatly affected by pick-up magnetic attraction. I 'm unclear how to set intonation from the third fret ? If you can explain - I'd like to learn something new. Tuning from the third fret can offer the typical offset of the change in tension from fretting - that makes sense to me. no harm no foul if the intonation is correct.

I've got an old fake strat" just put new strings on it, give "em" a few days to settle in and i'm gonna give it a shot

can't find anything on youtube but in the comments part someone did mention it..

I don't own a wah, so I had to dust off my old POD X3 which I have an expression pedal for.  I forgot that you can definitely get some workable tones with that thing.  All that crunch/wah guitar is the POD dialed up with the little Marshall 18 watt combo and one of the POD overdrives.  Who knew?

 

Well it sounds killer through my speakers, good ear.

Someone was telling me that it's better to do intonation on the 3rd fret because the open notes ( E,F,G,A,C,D) will sound more in tune.

Has anyone heard of this before? I looked on YOUTUBE but I can't find anything .

Great vocal, crunching guitar is awesome.

Had forgotten all about that. That's what happens when the fame isn't organic, which is why a lot of the pop artists today are forgettable. Major advertisement pushes with cash-grab merchandise and then moving on to the next one.

Speaking of merchandise, Kim Kardashian has a Fake Your Way To Fame T-Shirt line
