Thanks. I've never learned a Who song, but I know when I hear good stuff. Plus, if y'all ever get a chance to see it, his solo version of "Pinball Wizard" in The Secret Policeman's Ball. Check out his duet with classical guitarist John Williams on "Won't Get Fooled Again." I'm not as aware...

Yeah, that's why I listed him earlier: So I agree with both of y'all, and myself. :p Someone mentioned George and John, but how 'bout Paul? (I know that Wrangler listed "any Beatle except Ringo," but I thought I'd give props to Paul by name, since George and John got theirs.) He did some...

(Pardon the vulgarity, if it offends you.) "You fuck with the baker, you get a bun. You fuck with Ted and you get none." -- Ted Nugent, from a Hit Parader interview

What about the Roland-ready Strat: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030530045050144160001083434362/g=home/search/detail/base_id/35117 You might be able to find it somewhere else; I just happened to find it at MF first. They also listed a blemished model and a Richie Blackmore version...

My experience is a combination of these two, I think. Our church went from having a young, hip worship leader (with a wife who is eight hours short of having a PhD in music as a pianist) to having a bunch of people involved in the selection and direction of the music. We no longer occasionally...

Really, when it comes down to it, I could just start listing guitarists I admire in general, guys who play well in every aspect. But I'll try to specify what makes these guys top notch: re: Pete Townshend, he just did stuff with chord voicings that hadn't been done previously in a rock...

Before somebody beats me to it, I'll name Pete Townshend. More later!

Re: Re: Ahhh yeah! I know, I know. It's not like I'm completely unfamiliar with them, though. I remember the first time I heard "Angel of Death" on good ol' WYER my freshman year in high school. I once borrowed Live and Dangerous from the library, but the only thing I remember about it was...

A great big "Duh" for me :rolleyes: If I had re-read your post, BluesMeister, perhaps I could have avoided sounding like an idiot. I just realized and then verified that "Roisin Dubh" is Gaelic for "Black Rose." Sorry for my lack of oversight, dudes.

Ahhh yeah! Got my introduction to him with the Corridors of Power album. The blistering opening to "End of the World" hooked me but good. That and Still Got the Blues are the only albums of his that I own, but he used to get a fair amount of air time on radio here (back when radio was still...

Are we talking about rhythm parts or lead breaks? Because what you described is pretty much dead on the way Randy Rhoads' lead breaks were recorded (not sure about his rhythm work, but seems likely to be the same).

Okay, I'll bite I haven't heard as much of the Dregs' stuff as DT's, but what I've heard I liked very much. But I also like DT very much. If DT had more of a country-jazz influence in their music, I could almost agree with you. As it is, I think DT's focus is quite different, and I'd almost...

Check this out http://www.pedalboard.net/ Don't know if this will be of any use to you, but I'll be checking into this site if'n I ever get more than a few pedals.

Maybe this will help you: http://www.edroman.com/avail/guitar/avail_ham.htm Don't know what you're willing to pay, so these may not be your cup o' tea. But some of the prices aren't too bad. Good luck

Thanks for the model, tubedude. Sounds to me like nice affordable option for the indigent or cheapskate guitarist :p . Mayhap I'll have a look-see for one myself.

Yeah, Chappell mentions Nashville tuning, but I didn't quite understand it since I've never used it. But it sounds like you're right about it sounding more like a 12 string. Thanks for the info.

Same here. I'm no Yngwie, but I'm starting to realize that I need to explore my own back yard before I go hoppin' 'round the world exploring (keys, for instance). If I ever get a tube amp that is responsive to subtle stuff, it will open up a whole new world for me — or at least I hope so! ;)

ROFL! Oh man, that is funny and informative all at once. :p Thanks!

You're welcome, Alanfc. Like I said, that Jon Chappell book has a few good tricks in it. I wonder how it would sound to play in open E, double it an octave higher, and then triple it using a capo. . . could be pretty cool!

Oh, and my own partial list Some have been mentioned, and this ain't complete, but here are the guitarists and a song example for each: Ted Nugent "Weekend Warriors" Jeff Healey "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" Warren DiMartini "Lay It Down" Adrian Vandenberg "Burning Heart" Ace Frehley "Flaming...
