As mentioned... it all depends upon the amp. There are, however, ways to work around it. When you put two speakers in series, the resistance is added together. For example, two 4 ohm speakers wired in series will yield a resistance of 8 ohms. The same two speakers wired in parallel will yield...

I haven't looked at pickups lately, but I thought EMG's were ACTIVE... not passive.

Re: I'm so bad, I should be in detention! Some of my better playing friends believe the wrong note is only wrong... when you hit the NEXT note. I guess that's when knowing your scales and modes comes in handy.:D

Big Fuckin' Slackmaster! You're my hero!

Re: Great thread! Yeah, the GK's can get pretty hot... pretty quick! I've got a 200RCB which might as well be a preamp. It'll drive a cabinet... but not very hard. Makes for a good practice amp. Good tone, though.

You can teach yourself by modifying the "gallop". The gallop is simply three beats with a rest. Remove the rest, and the accent will fall on a different finger each time. Try putting an accent on the fourth note, for example...starting with the ring finger as the accent, then the middle finger...

13's... 14's... what's the difference. I couldn't take either! Too bad Stevie ain't around to straighten us out on this one.:(

If you've got the cash, this should be on your list: http://www.theaudio.com/bs-3d.html

I don't know about Billy, but some guys I know who were well acquainted with Stevie said he actually played 14's! They told me a story one time when Stevie was playing in Hawaii... he tore up his fingers really badly, and had to put some sort of super glue on them to get through the gig. Played...

Jake: You're in the center of the universe when it comes to slack-key tuning. When the haoles came to Hawaii, they traded guitars in lieu of currency... but the locals didn't know how to tune them. So, they tuned them to a variety of open tuned keys. You would do well by tracking down the old...

Not so fast... Dell is the only major manufacturer I know of that actually designs the cases, and fans, to be that quiet. They've dumped a ton of money into the research, as many foreign markets demand a quieter machine. I've got three Dells ranging back four years... all running good... and...

I thought he retired.:confused:

Yes, Dave is a monster out of Canada, and he was featured on the Alchemists compilation CD set... along with Rusty and many others. Another "monster" on that set is Brett Garsed, who played with the Nelson twins in "Nelson". You might not think much of Nelson, but Brett... much like their...

Big Buck! Yeah, Zaza is a mofo! Damn mp3.com... every clip I try to listen to gets almost all the way to the end of downloading... then the network connection fails... very disturbing... like they're protecting their bandwidth. DarkCide... I'm with you. My favorite guitarist has always been...

Listening to Baddness as I type... Nice aggressive blues style... I like that. you're right... I wouldn't be proud of this recording... from an engineering perspective! Next cut, Watch Out, is a much better recording, though. Tasty Robin Trower feel to it... I like it. Lost the mp3 a third of...

If you're not sure which one to start with (after reading about each) send him an email and tell him a little about yourself, and what you would like to accomplish. He'll recommend one for you.:D Tell him I sent you.:)

Let's see... he was 21 I think back in '89... so he's maybe 34 now, I guess. I met Rusty when he was 19... he had been playing for three or four years (mostly self-taught with instructionals) at that time. He had a bunch of students back then! Thirty five, if I remember right. He joined the...

Well, unless you're a magician... you're going to need to know the equipment before you'll be able to mix properly. You need to understand signal strength and flow, proper gain structure, and how to route and re-route signals to achieve your goals. Sure, you can fuck around and get lucky... but...

I couldn't find the clips. Please post a few for us. :D

Although Rusty has never really been into any guitarist in particular, he always been into all of the heroes... one way or another. He was happy to see Yngwie come back... badder then ever. Watching Rusty mow those 14 note arpeggios is stunning. I don't know anyone that can touch him on those...
