Hmmm.. Been playing the guitar for so long now.... close to 30 years -maybe about 20 years of that seriously.

 

In that period of time, I have had the pleasure of owning so many guitars, amps and effects that the whole thing became a collection. Throughout the years, I bought and sold these guitars --trying to keep only those I felt closest to me and tearfully parting with the best ones which helped tide me over the hard times.

 

I love the guitar so much I even produced a Television show about Guitars some years back.

 

I'm truly old school so my closest friends are a Black Gibson Les Paul Custom and a Fender Stratocaster. I have several guitars but those 2 are my favorites --The Les Paul being a late addition as I sold off my first one 10 years ago.

 

Setup wise, I have all my guitars set with medium action as I play a lot of slide -- specially when doing those Allman brothers line ups. I use .10 gauge to .48 strings for all of my guitars-- Fender Bullets preferred although I am now getting quite used to the sound and feel of flatwounds fron GHS.

The slides I use vary in weight as I prefer a metal one for electrics while Glass finds it easy on acoustic.

 

Amp and effect wise, I usually just employ a distortion pedal ( usually a Boss DS1 or Blues Driver ) and a chorus ( BossCH1 ). The Distortion usually just kicks in to add more gain to an overdriven amp--

I have several amps -- US Fenders and recently got myself a Line 6.

 

I am a child of the blues and will count SRV, BB King, Clapton, Gary Moore, Peter Green, Mike Bloomfield, Albert King, Freddie King, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Taylor, JJeff Healey, eff Beck and Duane Allman as my biggest influences. I play a lot of Classic Rock too - as that is also my base.

 

Although I can play some tunes fromi Vai, Satriani and Eric Johnson, Van Halen and Paul Gilbert...somehow... I still go back to playing the blues. CUrrently, my favorite tune is SRV's "Texas Flood" and Clapton's Malted Milk played in the style of Robert Johnson.

 

 

 

Rock On!

I'm truly old school so my closest friends are a Black Gibson Les Paul Custom..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

an LP custom?!? that must've set you back quite a few. me, ive had my eyes on a washed cherry '58 standard LP, and a '57 goldtop LP..i think those two are the most desirable les paul's ever! both cost at least $2,500 though..

HI millhouse!

 

Yes, it did set me back quite a few -- but it was "The" guitar" for me ever since I started to play. It's very much worth it. Got it on my last visit to LA Guitar Center.

 

I have always been partial to Gibson Les Pauls as I somehow intimately connect to it's tone everytime I play it. Real smooth, creamy, almost sticky tone. The Strat is a different animal altogether with it's bite and snap-- and the two guitars are just world'd apart. I always pick up Strat for gigs or jams but the LP stays at home and lords it over my home studio. I bought an old Telecaster and this somehow completes the circle for me in terms of tone.

 

Aside for the ones mentioned above, I currently own 5 more guitars and none of them has a Folyd Rose trem. FRs are great-espcially when used by the right hands--but it was not for me.

 

I have a small studio at home which I try to fill up with sound gear whenever I can. I'm now at the stage where I'm searching for some good Digital recording equipment. Hopefully, I may be able to fully set it up with some worthy recording gear by mid next year.

 

Hmmm.. a 58 Standard LP is certainly one of the most desirables guitars ever- agreed! Darn, always been a Gibson boy myself and I'll spend more time in LA's Guitar Center's Gibson display than at any other area--well except maybe the Martins.

 

Rock ON!

I have already postd this in the Musician's thread but I guess this is petter suited here.

My apologies for the re-post:

 

=========================================================

 

All the years I've been playing .. I must have tried out almost every stomp pedal and guitar I can get my hands on. From Stratocasters to Les Pauls to Washburns, I have owned at least one. Somehow, I always keep coming back to a few simple setups that seem to be my comfort zone.

 

Does this happen to any of you?

 

I mean, I have 7 guitars now -- A fender Strat, a Godin SD, an Ibanez AF artcore model, an Ibanez bass, an Ibanez AW100CE acoustic, Yamaha AES 420 and a Nylon string mini. I play all of them but when it comes to a big gig, I can't but help it. I just have to pull my Strat out of the case and use it. For me. There is something about that guitar that makes me use more than the others. ( This was beofer i got my LP, of course! heheh)

 

The other guitars are all good models and each one has it's own distinct tone. I recently used the Ibanez AF for some soft jam and it was wonderful to play some jazzy tunes once in a while although I am a rocker at heart. Playing that guitar with some friends who were into soft jazz actually was a nice experience for me as it forced me to dig deep into my vocabularly of scales. When the day came for us to play again, somehow I left the Ibanez behind and grabbed my Strat instead.

 

I have so many effects I decided to sell several of them last year as I simply do not use them. In a jam, I get to employ most of the wah pedals, the distortions, the mutli effects, the phasers, compressors and limiters. However, in a gig or a more serious jam, nothing works for me more like my Boss Blues Driver and CH1 Chorus. That's it... all the other effects stay in the bag.

 

Do you have an effect that you always use? One you can't play without?

 

Honestly, I suffer from G.A.S. or what is called Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. I suffer from it so much I once had 19 guitars and yet I could not play all of them so now I am down to 7.

 

Cheers!

The movie "CROSSROADS" was pretty good--soundtrack wise.

Steve Vai was awesome as the Demon's boy and the duel he played against Eugene (Ralph Machio's character) was one for the books.

 

For the record, all the guitar parts as played by Ralph Machio was actually recorded and played by

slide master Ry Cooder. He and Vai worked out the guitar duel and nicknamed the scene as "Eugene's Bag of Tricks".

 

Steve Vai was in dropped D tuning, ( let me check my files on that ) while Ry Cooder was in standard.

 

The subject of Eugene's adventure was the search for a lost recording of Robert Johnson. Johnson was a true to life bluesman who was said to have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for some exemplary special chops. The place where he met the devil was at a Crossroads. After recording a handful of some of the most memorable and most difficult to play blues songs, Robert Johnson died(murdered via poison in his drink) --presumably, as legends would have it- as a payback collection by the devil.

 

Robert Johnson is very real --and Gibson actually has created a Robert Johnson model of the acoustic guitar that he played. His story is told and re-told and the best so far was that of the movie Crossroads.

Eric Clapton idolized Robert Johnson as well as Duanne Allman, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards and Dicky Betts. Statesboro Blues, Travelling Riverside Blues, Malted Milk, Rollin and Tumblin are just some of the classics covered by Clapton, Led Zeppelin, ALlman Brothers and the Rolling Stones.

 

Robert Johnson favored playing in Open G or Open E tunings.

 

Rock On!

ive had this in my highschool days too. in school, i was known for my massive guitar (and porn) collection.. i used to own 12 guitars, a lot of them were just korean copies though.. the only "significant" guitar there was a B.C. Rich warlock. I constantly change strings too.. there's not one week that passes by that i don't change strings on at least two of those guitars. Ive changed strings so many times that become an expert at it! My move to the US has forced me to choose only one guitar to bring along with me.. i chose the warlock of course. Somewhere in the manila right now, there's a storage room with 11 of my guitars. I hope my dad hasn't sold them away or anything..

 

just recently purchased a rockton planet distortion stompbox. and its now the one piece of effect equipment i cant live without. it easily delivers a high gain, mid scooped tone that ive been looking for. other distortion pedals need a separate EQ unit to achieve this level of "scoop".

 

btw.. ive been now cured of G.A.S.! in fact, i was able to last an entire year on just one set of strings, believe it or not. that GHS fast fret really works!
