Have a great time and try to steal a few licks!

Bro. Larry,
You're welcome. Glad you like it. It often seems apropos and pertinent to discussions like this one.
Be well and play well, my friend

Well, if it's Jeff Beck playing it, I don't think I care if he's playing a Les Paul, a Strat, or a junked-out 60's hunk of jap-crap. It's still gonna be Jeff Beck.

Welcome aboard. As requested by d, tell us about yourself. Musical interests, how long you've been playing, gear, etc.?

Late but worth mentioning...
That envelope for new PMs should've been a flashing eye catcher.
I don't agree. However, there should be an indicator of some sort (flashing, number in red, etc.) when there are new messages.

You're welcome. My pleasure, amigo.

Hey Scott,
Click on the little envelope in the upper right hand corner next to your login name. (I found this by accident).

Hamer was resurrected after being gone just a couple of years, but only the South Korean-made imports, not the USA-made models... which, as in the case of Guild, seems wrong to me for some reason considering the legacy.
Agreed.

@P90:
Is Hamer back in business?
They used to make some nice guitars like the Monaco and the Newport.

10-56? Is that a custom set? The usual "10 set" is 10-46.
I stand corrected amigo you are right.
I know that there are players who.use sets that are light on Top and heavier on the bottom. I think that there are manufacturers who produce light/heavy sets. Hence, my question.

I use a boost and EQ on my blues driver to fatten up my Strat clone and give the guitar more oomph.
@DBM.Out of curiosity, what gauge strings are you using on your Strat clone?
I use D'Adderio XL110's 10 through 56 on all of my guitars

I realize that my opinion is tantamount to sacrilege, but I have never been a fan of Strat tone. It has always sounded kinda' thin to.my ear.
I greatly prefer the tone of a Lea Paul. The tone is bigger, better defined and more suited to the music I play. Better still, a semi-hollow or hollow body. This is simply a personal preference and is in no way intended to influence the opinion of others.

Wow some folks sure do like collecting.
Aaaaannnd SOME of 'em can really afford it... !

2. It's not fair. NOT FAIR!

Not my cup of tea, but nicely done.

Yes. I checked the box and have remained logged in

This is tragic news. Doc was a great guy and a friend to us all. He will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace.

Yeah man, you gotta'play phrases, you gotta' take breaths. My first Jazz teacher used to say, "play your solo like a horn player plays, or a singer sings".
I tend to play slow and smooth. I use speed to add variety or emphasis. When speaking about profanity, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) said that profanity should be used for emphasis and when used too frequently, it loses its effect. I agree and think the same way about speed on guitar.

Etta could sing fo sho, the guitar player is one awesome player. So is the keys player, and the bassist. Lots of feel along with the technique from everyone concerned..
@dbm,
Agreed. One of the cornerstones of my "musical philosophy" is and always has been "technique in the service of music" not "technique for technique's sake".
Amen on the quote; "technique in the service of music" not "technique for technique's sake" amigo, that is my focus on solos these days, more melodic melody, less wanking.
@dbm:
The great Carlos Santana.once said, "Focus on melody. If you focus on technique you will end up being admired by a bunch of guys and there won't be a woman in sight".
I think we're on the right track, my friend and we certainly think alike.

I would be very interested in reading a summary of new features/functionality in the software.

Jenny,
We all stood with you.

Perfect, in so many ways. Any idea who's backing her up?
Scott,
No clue. Sorry.

Hey gents,
I was surfing YouTube and liked this vocal of If I Had You by Etta Jones. Check out the guitar "comp".
