Hey fellow musicians, I've recently released a set of my compositions and just want to share them with people who might enjoy them. There are 9 tracks in the jazz fusion genre and influenced by Tribal Tech, the Yellowjackets, a Chick Corea, Billy Childs, Allan Holdsworth, Mike Brecker, etc. I...

Major housecleaning for the summer! I have GT magazines and accompanying CDs for sale. I'll summarize the main points of each issue and please email me with any questions: May 2000: Great Guitar Instrumentals (featuring Santana, Vai, Shadows, Allman Bros, Peter Green) July 2001: Main...

Once again, I find myself working a fifty hour weeks in a job I have little love for the summer. Why you might ask? Well, that comes down to my fanatical quest for great tone, and my addiction to expensive equipment. For the last for years I've been slowly building my dream rig, and I feel that...

Just a quick Q to the Vai fans: can / does he play jazz? If so, please name a track or two. Cheers. ;)

Those with experience with Suhr guitars. Are they So good? because are pretty pricey. Please do not talk just by reference but by own experience ;)

Can anyone recommend a really good distortion / overdrive pedal to put in the front of my amp?

I'm moving, so I'll be clearing out a lot of stuff.I will consider reasonable offers, and I will only ship to a US address.Paypal preferred. Digitech Turbo Flanger-35$ shipped Great Shape, missing rubber back since I put Velcro on it to attach to Pedal Board. DVD's Steve Vai-Visual Sound...

Hey folks, I'm researching for my first tube amp to buy. The problem is, all amps i hear - even the most hyped and loved ones - sound more or less dry and crumbly. I have a problem to find an amp that sounds full, wet, munchy, juicy and can scream at the same time. Think about wet crunch, if...

Does Allan Holdsworth do any sort of alternate picking runs? I have seen/heard about his amazing legato but have never heard about him doing any alternate picking. Any other players that mainly use a legato approach?

hello, I recently came across a hong kongese guitarist. he was fantastic: his style was jazz/blues fusion. very dynamic and punchy. I'd like to learn how to sound like that but I really have no clues about which artist / group I should listen to and then study... would you have any...

I can play rock, blues, shred, thrash. I've even composed some songs. But I have zero jazz knowledge. I've wanted to learn it since i've seen guys do improvisations on TV where guitar, drums, bass, piano do their solos one after the other. I think it would increase my skills many fold. It would...

Yo, Last night I was flipping through the channels on my XM Radio trying to decide what to fall asleep to. Obviously there are loads of options, including a few stations that might be considered guitar-centric (Boneyard = 80s hair bands). But try to find something slightly off the mainstream...

I know, I know, Satch, Vai, Malmsteen, Gilbert, blah blah blah blah blah, they all bring the same bag, sometimes cool tunes with mildly impressive licks... I'm not saying I can play them, but I am saying everytime I go to the guitar store there are at least a couple people that can. I wanna...

Added Maxxas MX-2 FB to my Maxxas MX-3 today. It needs a proper cleaning & set-up and has few blemishes on the body...... but it's so cool to finally add her to my collection. ;-)

Need something to listen to rather than Vai and satch all day any advice?

Excellent condition, OD100SH with foot swich and amp cover. Scott Henderson Model, excellent tone variations. I need a portable amp these days. Thank you Frank 239 298-0002

If you guys could chose only one..? I am looking for something which can best be described as a modern Vinnie Moore, Steve Morse, maybe Scott Henderson..(i don't have anything of his recordings..).. Because,what i want is basicly a tight rock style + outside playing + chromatic lines.. So, what...

Holy ****, I've heard a few people talk about him on here but never really heard him play, so i decided to hit up some vids on youtube. Oh my god, he totally blows just about anyone else i've heard out of the water for technical ability. I know Dee will be able to answer this, but can anyone...

I have an old Seymour Duncan Allan Holdsworth (AHBJ) that I just wired in a mahogany bodied S(abre) that sounds very close to a JB. I had read somewhere that he used the JB at one time and figured his sig pup would be similar. Does anyone have any info on what years these were made, what the...

I learnt a lot from it, gonna try to improve on my phrasing a lot more oh, the last part is definately worth watching, if not for the music then for the humor :P
