    "Surfing with Satch" Andy Black(sugar)

    Hey everyone, thanks for the compliments! For the record, I covered Surfing With The Alien because obviously I love the album - the idea was nothing more than a crazy whim that I followed through on (in a very short period of time, which indicates the level of my enthusiasm). Realizing that this...

    The Apocalypse Is Overdue (new instrumental VID)

    JESUS & MARY CHAIN cover

    https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=M16M3GKIqqk&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DbfcPGgluKxk%26feature%3Dshare Some of the killer fuzz distortion presets in the AFX2 came in handy on this one! Noise, glorious noise. Happy holidays.

    New track featuring ALICE COOPER!

    Alice Cooper played my band Prisoners Of NYC on his Sirius/XM radio show a couple weeks back and loved saying my name over and over. I HAD to parlay this into a ludicrous instrumental guitar meltdown. And here it is. Thanks Alice!

    My guitars on King's X drummer Jerry Gaskill's solo LP

    Thanks so much! I'm not nearly the Vai acolyte most people think I am (I only own two of his albums) but I have ALL the respect for the guy and he's really and truly one of the greats.

    My guitars on King's X drummer Jerry Gaskill's solo LP

    Thank you! I don't know why the link didn't work; I pasted it inside the 'link' feature when posting....anyway. Jerry's album Love & Scars is done and has been out for nine months or so. You can buy it at all the usual digital outlets and especially at Rat Pak Records...

    My guitars on King's X drummer Jerry Gaskill's solo LP

    Thanks guys! I did loads of guitars on the album, but the meat n' potatoes rhythm stuff was D.A. Karkos and there are a few other guitarists who contributed, like Earl Slick and Phil Keaggy. Billy Sheehan plays on a couple tracks, too. Also the album is OUT NOW and has been since last fall! I'm...

    Black Sugar Transmission - In The City's Arms

    Hey folks, Andee here soaking up the Brooklyn summer vibes between Peter Murphy tours. And I'm super-excited to be releasing a brand new Black Sugar Transmission *double* album this week called In The City's Arms. Been using Axe-FX on all my albums since 2007 and this one is no exception. CD...

    Dane Sonnier in drop D

    Thank you! Yeah it's a super fun creative exercise. And the double album is a more finished than not. Just need to get some other musicians' DNA on it now...and figure out how to package/sell it, all that good stuff.

    Dane Sonnier in drop D

    For fun I've done this experiment a few times on facebook: I ask my friends to call out a key and tempo, with the promise that I'd write/record/video/upload a guitar instrumental using those parameters and name the track after the first respondent and post it the same afternoon. My friend Dane...

    This Is Gonna Hurt

    Thanks a lot - I do not mind jazz comparisons, don't get me wrong. I just don't want anyone to think I claim to be a jazzer (I've never studied it and have absolutely no repertoire!) but you're right, the 'outside', quasi-atonal stuff is indebted to jazz, at least in spirit. I consider myself a...

    BOWIE "TVC15"

    Thanks guys - yeah, we'll never see Bowie's like again. His loss is cataclysmic. Although I didn't cover any Motorhead songs in the wake of Lemmy's death, he is a BIG hero of mine, and Motorhead one of my alltime favorite bands. It's been said many times, but I always just assumed these people...

    BOWIE "TVC15"

    Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. And anyway, if you like the result, what difference does it make how I arrived there? It's all just tools.

    BOWIE "TVC15"

    Thank you! I used a few pedals in front of the AFX...the H9 and a few Boss stompboxes.

    From Rush Hour With Love

    I'm learning a new version of Cubase and this was a fun way to get my feet wet - doing a cover of Republica's 1998 single "From Rush Hour With Love". AxeFX 2 all over the place. I love this band, too! Been a fan since their first album - and Saffron is a spitfire

    All Axe-FX2. ...and my very old Strat whose frets are worn down to almost nothing at this point. The guitar needs some serious TLC for sure, but I managed to squeeze this "tune" out of it. Also stepped on the Electro Harmonix PitchFork pedal a bit in the second solo. Enjoy!

    Enuff Z'Nuff cover "Heaven Or Hell"

    Their album Strength is really due for a reappraisal. It galls me that EZN got thrown out with the "hair metal" bathwater, while Oasis (aka Beatles For Dummies) get hailed as genius. Vomit.
