Great achievement Zorrow! I have done the same same with Prince's Purple Rain movie the other year. The songs in the vid have much more drive than the original LP/CD.

Pretty nice solution. I had never heard of that before. In hope the right coil is going to be singled out. Typically, humbuckers don't have equal coils. So, there could be different sounds selecting either coil for the single option.

I rediscovered Simple Minds's Black & White this morning.

tommys great ! long time fan here, seen him a lot. hes laughing here cuz I just told him If i could sing like him I'd give him a run for his money ( may have been some beer involved ) If you havent ,check out "Live at the fillmore" or any early stuff with keith crosen on sax . Will check out the fillmore stuff. Cover pics still sell music. I had discovered him in the quarterly German blues magazine Blues News I get. The CD review was nice. Eventually, it was the cover thumb pic that made me check out buying through the new kindle.Check out Oli Brown Dragan. He's a young dude from UK doing quite well.

The infamous pinch harmonics -any great moments?

Looking for Love - I can't help myself, I always felt Coverdale starts singing to fast right from the beginning. Otherwise, I think the song is epic. -
Just discovered Tommy Castro & The Painkillers - The Devil You Know additionally Paul Rodgers - The Royal Sessions pure blues fellows!

Yes, looks really nice!

This guitar makes no sense to me

That's an interesting concept. Allows for totally different sound spectums than usual. -

Simply, glue it back in. Try without glue first.

What's the resulting cat gut string length actually? Neighbours cat is a ball cut dump. We call him stalker since usually he sits outside to watch in our windows.

Meanwhile, CD arrived and I managed to listen various times. It's very interesting guitar playing. Sunday morning I went to visit a friend academically teaching classic guitar. I had ordered another copy of the CD for him as a present. He did not know about the Strad, but knew about the style of building and playing. It was interesting to hear that a lot of todays playing style like hammer-ons were developed at the time. Actually, notation weren't as exact as it is today and players were used to and forced to improvise or rather colorize their playing. Tuning of the instruments had a lot to do with tension capabilities of the organic strings. Some were made from sheep gut. Again, many thanks for posting Feynman.

Now, if I could just get a flight to Cremona for Saturday. According to Gorch's link, Rolf Lislevand (the first player) and others are playing this guitar in recital in Cremona, Italy this Saturday. Lislevand is also a killer lutenist and mandolinist. Based on hearing him on the radio about a year ago, I bought this collection of his lute and mandolin works of Vivaldi compositions. I have various recordings of the Vivaldi guitar concertos, but a lute in the hands of a skilled lutenist brings subtlety and nuanced expression to those pieces that I'd never heard in the 42 years I've been listening to them. I think it all happenend last year. No need for a ticket JohnnyB.Btw. I've immediately ordered the CD mentioned on the homepage. First recordings of the only one playable Strad (see the similarity in name giving?) is a must have to me. Especially, the recordings were made in recent times and are not 50 years old and dull sounding. I plan to ask the people at Avantgarde Acoustics if they are interested to the experiment listening to a Strad in perfection.

We might find a loan copy to be sent around. Very nice posting. I ever wondered Stradivari made more than "just" violins.

Interesting article on Jimi Hendrix, guitars, tone etc.
gorch replied to Punkavenger's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I think his tone was more straight than anybody wants to be acknowledged. I think he took to many drugs to dial in anything special. A certain volume setting on a regular amp with a certain pickup varying in quality at the times created something unique very easily. Then comes his playing into play combined with a ton of drugs. That's hard to recreate. -
Alles Gute!

What a fantastic solution! The guitar appears stronger than ever.
