    Will second SRV. Also look into The John Mayer Trio (John Mayer solo has blues playing but also more pop - the Trio album is VERY blues, and Mayer is amazing). Robert Cray did a lot of great modern, jazz-influenced blues.

    Putting it All Together C G D A & E – Lesson 17

    Cadd9 is a great chord to go with G Major - I love that chord.

    Little update on the harmony/tutorials I do.

    Cool, that will give me time to catch up on the backlog! Hope you get that school shit done and WINNING so you can be back to your old self. 2020 just sucks and blows in so many ways. Stay safe, bud!

    Guitar noise

    They CAN, but it can also be a grounding problem in the guitar. If you're not comfortable poking around under the wiring cover on the back, take it in to a guitar shop to be looked at. As a bonus, if they determine everything is wired correctly and happy, you can buy pickups right there and ask...

    Guitar noise

    There's a BIG dollar difference between those two guitars, and one of the most important differences in them that saves cost is the pickups. Stock pickups on less-expensive guitars are very often noisy. If you love the feel of the Epiphone and want to keep it, you might want to look into...

    Comment by 'Ed Seith' in media 'And All Things Might End Maybe'

    Hola! I suppose I have been summoned. Okay, so I am assuming you have a desktop or laptop computer - that's the cornerstone of any home studio setup. Next thing you would need (assuming you're using amp in the room, and not a modeler) is an interface, a microphone, and software. For an...

    Top mount vs recessed Floyd Rose.

    Yup, Floyd's were floaters long before someone decided to claw the back out to recess them. All it really affects is how high the bridge and fretboard sit off the top of the body, which is a feel thing for some players.

    Thirty years ago, a good friend begged me to paint the front of his brand new Marshall 4x12 cabinet. He still has it and still plays it, and now my artistry has come full circle to @Syn Gates with the amp-naming contest header. I had no idea how far ahead of his time Pete would become.

    Introduction to the 12 Bar Blues – Lesson 68

    There are others more theory-versed than myself, but I believe that what makes it the 12-bar blues is the 12-bar phrasing and all of the chord changes in the I-IV-V way. 12-bar blues in E will be E-A-E-A-B-A-E. In G, it would be the same pattern of changes, but replacing E-A-B with G-C-D...

    Guitar names?

    It gets worse. Much worse. No, seriously. You have no fucking idea, man.

    Guitar names?

    Lots of folks do, but honestly, I can barely remember the names of my ACTUAL children some days, and there are far fewer of them, so I don't try to name my guitars.

    DISCO VOLANTE by Mr. Bungle

    According to the trusty Google Translate, Syn said: "I'm also a big fan of slipknot! they definitely do some crazy shit! I'm glad you're taking the time to listen!"

    ***CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR EVH TRIBUTE CONTEST!!***

    That's awesome. I literally spent the whole time staring at the tab to follow along, hoping I didn't fuck up, and doing it anyway! Haha! I love this!

    Any Helix users here?

    I had a PodHD500 and loved it, except for the cab models, but when it came time to upgrade, there was only one real choice - Fractal. I've no doubt the Helix is awesome.

    EDDIE VAN HALEN TRIBUTE CONTEST ANNOUNCED!

    I said lesson 31, but I meant lesson 91 - Fingerstyle. There's a lot more going on in this song than it sounds like, and there are a couple of different guitars playing really against each other in ways they usually don't in metal music, so kudos Ed. But that, coupled with a crazy week at work...

    As is mine. It's a stunning strap that is absolutely the right character for my PRS.
