Rick Beato interviews Ian Thornley from Big Wreck

That's tough...here's some of my favorite songs off the top of my head: Albatross A Million Days (killer solo) Ghosts Voices Too Far Gone Under The Lighthouse In Fair Light There's honestly so many! The only album I never cared for was "The Passion and the Greed," I just never took to that one...

Rick Beato interviews Ian Thornley from Big Wreck

I've said it before, Big Wreck is my favorite band, and Ian is just incredible. IMO he's got the best voice in rock, and they're just criminally unknown outside of Canada. I first saw them opening for Dream Theater back in 1997 and was blown away back then! They were using Axe-Fx III's for their...

Post An Old Music Related Pic Of You

This is about 1992 I think. That was my first electric guitar and I've got a pretty sweet stack of tapes next to me 😂

What’s your Main Gee-tar!!! And why….

Is this the one you had the Boston Amp Show back in 2019? If so, I can agree that this thing plays and sounds amazing!

AFIII Matteo Mancuso Axe-FX III preset

So I went on a deep dive last night watching a bunch of Matteo's videos about his rig. He's using pretty much 4 sounds in his live trio, so I tried to copy those in my Axe-Fx III. Obviously I can't play like him, so here's a quick demo of the different tones and the preset is attached for you to...

New Big Wreck EP

I'm so disappointed as I was hoping to get down to Phoenix and catch them on Friday, but I won't be able to. And that they're using only the Axe-FX III's now is an even bigger bummer! Totally loving the new EP btw, just some killer tunes!

How do you setup your guitars?

I use NYXL 10-46 right now (go back and forth between those and Paradigms). I like my action low, I'm not a fan of fighting the guitar, but that's just personal preference. I played a buddies Jackson the other day and he likes his action high, and it was like I couldn't play anything. So for me...
