    Captor X vs. Torpedo LIVE

    I recently acquired a TwoNotes Torpedo Captor X. I can't compare both products because I haven't really played their Torpedo LIVE but I must say that I'm very satisfied with all the possibilities of the Captor X. And it's very fun to use. Now back to your issue... although we're wired to always...

    Iconic solo guitar lessons

Those lessons included: - full demonstration at speed - demonstration at half the speed - tab - backing track I'm currently working on my EP, but I'm thinking about doing some more in a while. Anybody would be interested in that? If...

    Traditionalism vs experimentation

    Hey guys, On the course of the last 10 years lots of new guitar brands appeared on the market, proposing new guitars made up of composite materials: Flaxwood (http://www.flaxwood.com) , Aristides (http://aristidesinstruments.com/), ... In opposition to that, we've seen more and more "relic"...

    ADK 51 microphone

    Hey guys, Anyone familiar with ADK microphones? I'm currently recording my first studio EP. First time I got such an excellent acoustic guitar sound out of my Breedlove despite a very accessible piece of gear. What do you think? What do you use at home to record your acoustic guitars?

    Bare Knuckle Stockholm HSP90 video test

    After playing humbuckers for like my whole music history I recently started to dig the sound of P90's. So I traded some EMG's in my trusty Flaxwood for a new set of Bare Knuckle Stockholm HSP90. I thought I'd share that video test with curious or potentially interested people. d9f2m4PVwAE

    How do you warm-up

    Hi guys, I'm trying to kinda refresh my Youtube page with more topics and videos about learning, rather than just playing. Talking so much is new to me. Do you understand it all? Is that kind of stuff useful to you? I'd appreciate some feedback. ewAQo6O7m_Q

    Iconic Solos Series #2 : Walk (Pantera)

    Hi guys, The second episode of my "Iconic solo series" is up. If you're not familiar with the concept I demonstrate an iconic solo at full speed, then with the solo "acapella" at slow tempo. The cool thing is that for each episode I'll make the tab and some self recorded modern sounding...

    Do EMG active pickups really suck?

    I've read so many times that EMG pickups sound sterile or simply suck I was convinced of it. Recently acquired a EMG 81/85 equiped Flaxwood and I must say it's not that bad as many claim. They surely will never be my favorites. But although they indeed do sound colder and more compressed than...

    Koch Powertone III - Just what you need for rock

    Well, the title says it all. It's the 50watt version. 2 channels, 2 masters, gain boost and power attenuator. What else you need??? ...yeah, maybe a little reverb would be cool. I just acquired it a three months ago and I must say it's a great amp. I combine it with a Peavy Classic 30 in live...

Look around 0:40 for the original lick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjLEAswaNGk More of the guy, for those who wanna...

It's the outcome of more than one year of work (actually nearly 2 between the idea of releasing a videoclip and publishing it today). It has been much work, frustration, learning and it's...

    Anyone into gipsy jazz???

    Typically a pop or rock oriented guitarist, I seriously got stuck into gipsy jazz since the beginning of 2013 and I started to dig it deep I must say. I noticed how much practicing and playing the style improved my time feel and more generally my playing and "think speed". Anyone tried it...

    Gipsy jazz, the return!

    Just me having fun on a Djangology from Django Reinhardt and studying the style of the incredible Angelo Debarre. I urge you to check the guy!!! He's got style and class... Some mistakes here and there but that guitar is not really formated for that kind of music: action is much too high and...
