    Have you always wanted to like the Bee Gees, but they were too gay for you?

    No joke, I bought that on vinyl from a yard sale as a gag. Listened to it sometime later & couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed it.

    Why ask my opinion if you don't want it?

    I accepted a long time ago, that most people who ask my opinion on anything guitar-related have no intention of putting said knowledge to use. Sounds like she needs to find a teacher who has long nails & can show her how to play with them.

    Richie Kotzen covering Chris Cornell

    He sounds just as good live, if you ever get a chance to see him.

    Would you buy a Framus Cobra in 2025?

    I bought mine new around 2004 & haven’t had issues with it.

    Anyone Ever Raw Dog a gig?

    After years of running a multi channel midi switching rig with all the fx I could ever want, I switched to running a VHT deliverance straight in & loved it. Used my volume knob to silence in between songs. I was actually annoyed some years later when I joined another band that called for a more...

    Looper Pedal Clipping

    I’ve not done a close comparison like that, but the looping function on my Timeline & DL4 sound just a tiny bit quieter & darker than my RC1. They all work fine for me, just playing something to noodle over. However, the boss is much more handy when I want to loop a phrase to dial in pedal or...

    Do you think guitars cost too much in 2025?

    As a rule, yes... Realistically though, I don't think any small to mid-sized outfit could produce decent guitar in the US for less than $1500-2k. When you consider shops located in say CA; with the high cost of real estate, taxes, labor, etc. $2500-3500 for something with a nice maple top &...

    Made the mistake of playing a Tom Anderson…

    Sweet looking TA! My guitar teacher in high school played an Anderson tele that I got to play a handful of times and I've wanted one ever since. His little shop here in town carried them for the longest time, never had more than 2-3 in stock. Just looked him up on Facebook, looks like he's...

    Are our rigs proportionate to our talent?

    If my setup doesn’t surpass my chops tenfold, I don’t want it.

    The genius design of Parker Guitars

    I’m in the minority who likes the way they look. I played a handful of them years ago when you’d see used ones around in shops from time to time, always enjoyed the chance to do so.

    How much would you spend on a guitar...

    The most I've spent on one is around $4k, and realistically that's about where my upper limit is.

    Anything horrible looking about this?

    I would either get a cheap donner for $50, or spend the money for a cioks, strymon, voodoo, etc.

    The Dual Recto RI is the best Recto to date. A hill I'm ready to die on.

    I was a little disappointed with my badlander 50 initially, as I was expecting more of a recto flavor than what it offered. Then I took it to our rehearsal space, made a few tweaks over the course of a few sessions, and absolutely fell in love with it. I was primary playing a 7 string in drop...

    Mesa Boogie branded tubes

    I’ve used “Mesa” tubes in their amps for years, because they are a solid choice. They also cost twice as much as they once did, so I’ll use something else next time I need a set.
