Great Electric Tones

[Peavey Renown]

Mark Tremonti!!! He has the best rectifier sound I've heard.. the Alter Bridge song Metalingus sounds like he's using a Bogner Uberschall..

OK peavey, fill me in here. You're making me feel like an older fart than I really am.

I got into him because I read a Randy Rhoads interview where Randy said Bill Nelson was his favorite electric player. Randy definitely had some Bill Nelson in him, in terms of guitar concepts, if not style or tone.



That's my favorite part of these kind of threads.

I got into Bill through an interview in Guitar Player last year March or April, the interview was not so much about playing the guitar, it concentrated more about creativity and ways to make songs. Also there was talk about "creative tools", really all sorts. So from that I went to look for some of this albums, and yes he is a guy who will change all the time and can do a lot of different things.

As far as Randy Rhodes goes I have not heard that much of him, have heard the albums he did with Ossy, and someone gave me the tribute one, on that one there are some classical pieces by him. Yes Rhandy was really a player: Someone who liked it all, and was willing to work on things for as long as he lived. In a way I feel how else can you be eh? When you get into guitars you will start to see all these different things: Effects, open tunings, cappoos, fingerstyle, chordvoicings ect.ect. So in a way there is a lifetime worth of studying to be done, just do not forget to record some stuff from time to time as well as you can be too much taken up with your time in studying and practise.

Okay a bit of topic, well eh...........................new players I dig? Some I have seen here, but we all know them eh

Oh I like your new signature, and yes before I forget it, Bill Nelson was born in Wakefield in the UK which is close to Leeds where I live at the moment. Never knew that until a guy from a recordshop pointed this out to me.

he might be somewhat "dated" by todays standards, but I always found that Michael Schenker had a *very* distinct sound .... putting a FlyingV into a M.

you can tell w/in a second ... very mellow, soft and melodic sounding ... sometimes maybe too beautiful....

I still like his "live at budokan" album w/ cozy powell ... great piece of 80ies rock/metal...

 

[boingoman]

Mmmm......Michael Schenker. Very excellent.

 

[WERNER 1]

Done to death, but Eddie's Early "VH" tone....or the "Brown Sound" still gives me goose bumps when I play those albums! (Plus I've never been able to duplicate it exactly. )

Phil Keggy on "Wind and the Wheat" has some very cool stuff, not to mention very creative.)

Neal Schon - Stoned in Love and Lights

Stu Heiss - Resurrection Band -

Bunches of others.... but that's enough for now.

Peavey, is that a drop tuning he uses? D? C#?

I heard he plays with a coin instead of a pick.

That is when he gets paid

Oh what about Robbert Fripp, he can make guitar sound like you will not recogize as a six-sting at all Heard a programme about him last night and there was some music which he had put together in 1997 and it sounded like..................just sounds, really hard to decribe, but certainly no guitar.

I like the albums he did with Andy Summers, very textural playing.

Yeah Fripp is cool......as well as Adrian Belew. There is a point at which the effects can be a bit much for me. I'm not saying don't use them, just that I like them used sparingly and tastefully. What about Chris Whitley? I think "Living With The Law" is a great album.

I met Belew once, in a club in Baton Rouge right after his third gig with Zappa, just a month or two after Frank had discovered him playing in a Holiday Inn lounge. I had been to the show, and it was, as always, incredible (I sure miss you, Uncle Frank!), but all through it I kept asking, "Who the HELL is that amazing guitarist who looks like the R. Crumb 'keep on trucking' guy?" An hour later I'm in a bar (Kingfish?) and look up, and he's standing right there next to me. I asked him if he wanted a beer, and he sat down with us.

Frank was there, too, sitting at another table, and someone dragged him up on stage where he sang "Stinkfoot" with the house band. He wouldn't take the guitarist's axe, though, and I don't think I have before or since had so much sympathy for a musician on stage as I did for that poor schmoe. But I digress...

Anyway, I asked Belew about his tone, and he said "I dunno, man. Frank's roadie hands me a cable and I plug in. I don't wanna talk shop, anyway; pour me a beer". Helluva nice guy.
