I'm an Eddie fan and always will be. Those folks who slam on Sammy are wrong. Sammy brings it. lAqJIl_Yi8w

istic. What kind of modes do these guys use to get the tones on Mindcrime? And RAGE. I'm seeing extended voicings and what not, but none of it makes sense. Not from my non-studied view. song is in the key of D minor, what is Chris doing over it?

Seems like every time I log on my feed goes to a slimmed down version of the site. On my laptop that is. I have to manually tell it, "full version, please". Did I miss an announcement?

Snicker. Criticize. Laud. Hate. Love... Any comments welcome. I'm looking to make it better in any way possible! 9caiflRONNE

and thats a good thing. Listen to what YES did before Trevor and AFTER. Then listen to Trevor's solo stuff. There can be NO DOUBT he was the one who made this era of the band successful. 7N3VLRfNiAY

I've been playing for years. My theory is for shit, but I can generally grasp the idea of what is going on. Blackmore makes my head hurt. I DIG this solo though and wonder... can anyone here tell me whats going on? Is he playing different scales with each chord? Is he soloing in some key that...

I'm a HUGE fan of (old) QR. The music is so much more interesting than so many other popular bands; they really stood out. Rage for Order was always my favorite and even to this day that disc sounds so "futuristic" I could never get my ears around the guitars... Ran across this dude on...

I was posting on another portion of this site and someone made a comment to me that made a lot of sense. I wonder if I can get some opinions on this:

I've seen a lot of drummers isolate themselves with those plexi-shields. I seem to recall a guitarist using them, but who/when escapes me. Does anyone have any experience with using them? I'm thinking if they work, I could get some actual power tube tone out of my rig. I swear, I never get...

I play through a fairly simple rig: Guitar EB Volume Dunlop Wah G System Diezel Herbert (4 cable method with Mogami cabling) I typically use channel 2+ for everything and just use my volume for clean/crunch. On the G System I set my gate up fairly hard so that when I'm not playing the gate...

I'm very seriously considering buying a VG-99 for the alternate tuning function. My thinking is, instead of toting five guitars to the gig, I can use this magic box and bypass all of that stuff. The downside being that goofy wart I'll have to mount on my guitar. Does anyone have any...
