    Heavy Devy on EMG tv, Axe-fx II content

    For you Devin fans... Casualties of Cool: Casualties of Cool on PledgeMusic I would have been seriously tempted to do the VIP thing if it wasn't already sold out. Instead I did the double digipak. Downloaded the song avail to pledgers... not bad. Not amazing, but some good chill Devy.

    Guthrie Govan is the best guitar player alive today

    So far, from 26 to 37% agree opine he's the best player alive today (depending on how you take the 'want to father his children' choice). If this poll was posted a few years ago, before Guthrie was breaking through. Is there any other guitarist that would get more than 10%? Maybe 15% max...

    Guthrie Govan is the best guitar player alive today

    I can't tell you how massively jealous I am - very much looking forward to seeing them live the next time they perform anywhere near here! Not only for Guthrie, but I love watching Marco on the DVD's... would be great to see him perform in person as well.

    Guthrie Govan is the best guitar player alive today

    When I was 10 years old, I thought EVH was currently the best guitarist on the plant. By the time I was 20, I had gone through enough phases of worshipping various rock, blues, jazz, and even classical guitarists that I realized there is no ONE best guitarist on the planet. BUT now... another...

    Heavy Devy on EMG tv, Axe-fx II content

    I hear ya - and honestly, I don't disagree with anything you say. And trust me, I'd also love to see him play more of the tracks live with a larger band, etc. Keep in mind though, many of the tracks on the album (and thus in the backing tracks during his concerts) are heavily affected - i.e...

    Heavy Devy on EMG tv, Axe-fx II content

    I'm a huge Devin fan and have seen both By A Thread and Retinal Circus several times. Yes, he plays with significant backing tracks. And for most acts, that would definitely bum me out. But Devin is a different story - his tracks are HUGE... there's a youtube of him showing his track build-up in...

    Most Underrated guitar solos of all time

    And don't forget Devin... For the best guitar solo/vocal solo by one person combo... guitar solo at 5:14, vocal solo at 7:30... And then another Devin'esque solo... solo starts at about 3:00 and kicks into 2nd gear at 4:37

    Music Man JPXI anyone have or try?

    I've got a JPXI-7 and a Suhr Modern. Both are really great guitars. I don't have time for an in-depth comparison at the moment, but if anyone has any specific comparison questions, I'll be happy to give my opinion - neck carves, pickups, frets, features, etc. I'm actually going to post the...

    30 minutes of Guthrie!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for sharing the video! Years ago I was into Vai, Satriani, Gilbert, LaRocque and of course classics like Hendrix, SRV, EVH, etc etc etc etc. Then I kind of took a hiatus from guitarist-fandom. A few years ago I really got back into enjoying other guitarists again, and it took me a...

    CLIFF, release me from "Patch Creation Purgatory"

    A) Have I? More than you can possibly imagine. B) Whether dozens of strangers, or millions of strangers, you grow a thick skin quickly. It hits a lot harder personally when the questioning is from close friends/coworkers/confidants. Very true, I'm fairly new to the Fractal community and not...

    CLIFF, release me from "Patch Creation Purgatory"

    Sorry, I have an equally strong IMHO disgreement that ETA = suicide. I've been involved with massive software releases, have gathered detailed feedback from end-users, and have been involved in release decisions that have impacted millions of users. While there are definitely pros and cons each...

    CLIFF, release me from "Patch Creation Purgatory"

    Yep, with the major changes, I'm assuming many users feel like it's a "waste" to further program/tweak patches for 5.07. That's where the "it would be nice to have an ETA" seems like a fair comment. As a fairly new Axe-FXII user, I was just getting to the point of programming my own patches...

    King Diamond cover!!! triple green screen

    Great job on the video! King Diamond as a band still doesn't get nearly the attention they deserve. And yep, another LaRocque fan here also. His melodies/harmonies/note-choices... always amazed me how well his solos would both sound great alone AND would also fit into the song so well.
