    New Rivera..........oh my!

    Hey! I know the feeling...I went looking for a Quiana, and ended up getting a Chubster 40. Lots of similarities, with slightly less power. I was completely enamored, but after a while, I noticed that when the amp gets hot (maybe after playing for an hour), the clean tones aren't so clean any...

    BEST UNDERRATED GUITARISTS---------

    Hey Chernman, I don't think anyone else has mentioned Lyle Workman. Really great player. I think he's still playing with Beck, but I used to see him play around San Francisco in a band called Bourgeous Tagg. They put out two albums which absolutely rock. Check them out if you can.

    Best Guitar Solos ever

    Eric Johnson's outro on "Zap" (first album) continues to knock me on my butt every time! Soulful, passionate, extremely mean, and get the @#%&@ out of my way!

    Travel Guitar?

    About 3 months ago I got a Baby Taylor for $249. Nice thickly padded gig bag, wonderful action, great sound! It really kicks ass, especially for the price. I thought the Backpacker had terrible action and intonation, even after trying lots of 'em. The Taylor stood head and shoulders above...

    BEST RHYTHM GUITARISTS

    To repeat, Townsend for sure. Also Bob Wier. It's almost an artificial distinction between lead and rhythm. There's usually this division of labor if 2 guitars are playing together, but it seems to me that most of us are playing both at some time in any given song. And in some ways, it's...

    D TWO vs TC 2290

    Okay...the 2290's supposed to be the best and all. My question for this relates to the value, what you get FOR THE MONEY, of the TC 2290 (1,600+) compared to the D Two (499+) purchased new. Might it be worth it for most entry level delayers, or on the other hand, is it a shoddily constructed...

    NAME THOSE OLD NOW OBSCURE BANDS

    Wondered if anyone would get to Ted Nugent. There's another Bloodrock song called Jessica that was all over the airwaves in the early '70s. Totally cool, easy to play but well put together...great D and E7#9 chords! Check it out on Napster or something if you can't get to it any other way.

    Buzz Feiten

    What's up with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System? I've read lots about it, and it makes perfect sense. But there are only so many guitars out there with it, and it seems that most don't utilize it. So let's hear from all youzz with experience...

    Your best electric guitar

    Had a stock 1966 Strat which was unbelievable. Got stolen about 15 years ago, but I still cry. Hamer Artist Custom stands head and shoulders above most other guitars I've owned. Have a Sadowsky single coil on the way, so I'll let you know about that in a month or two.
