    Much respect for Joe B

    My opinion: Joe Bonamassa has put in more effort to keep rock guitar music alive than anybody since Slash. He reveres the heritage of his craft, saluting not only the original guitars and amps, but the songs. His own compositions are amazing, because he doesn’t limit himself to just one...

    Un top wrap

    I like JT’s science. Fact is, I really think it depends on the guitar. I have a Triburst ‘68 LP Custom reissue that is only happy with a top wrap. The neck angle makes the bridge pretty high, and I don’t like how the guitar feels and sounds with that particular tailpiece raised. But the...

    Strap recommendation for LP Standard

    They’re increasingly hard to find, but the Levy’s #1 Stretch Strap is the most comfortable I’ve ever used. They’re light, they breathe, they don’t saw a hole across your shoulder, and they stay comfortable through a long gig. If you’re going to do the ”Slash, play it on your kneecaps” look...

    Anyone gig with an original 5E3? And if so…

    Technology is your friend. If your 5E3 isn’t keeping up, then just dial it in to the sound you like, and mic it into the board. I notice that even many “arena” bands guitarists (like the Eagles or Clapton) rarely use anything bigger than a good combo amp onstage these days. When you think...

    Plumbing question (apolitical content)

    Some of the newer kitchen faucets (Delta, Kohler, etc) can actually have more than one place where the nanny government mandated water flow reducers are. For instance, on the Delta "touch" faucets in our kitchen, there's one at the screen by the aerator, but another that must actually be...

    Ram Jam Black Betty. Unusual Les Paul ?

    “Troglodyte“ has done a pretty good job running down exactly how this guitar came to be. The Black Betty Les Paul

    RIP Charlie Watts

    Examples of Charlie's "less is more" drumming are all over the Stones's albums. For a brief time, the studio footage for "Sympathy for the Devil" was on YouTube. This is one of the few remaining clips still up. It shows the brainstorming sessions they did, as they built the song into the...

    RIP Dusty Hill

    https://variety.com/2021/music/news/zz-top-bassist-dusty-hill-dead-dies-1235029656/ He had such a great bond with Billy Gibbons. The perfect sideman. The last time I saw him was after a sold-out show in the Imperial Palace casino In Biloxi, MS. I was buying a t-shirt, and he came strolling...
