Learning Guitar

The last band I (soundman) frigged around with, the bass player's head unit was 800 watts, with that 8 ten inch Peavy bottom you see everyone sporting.

That's a sweet 'lil practice amp, for sure!

Cool, Ryan.

Ain't nothin' like acoustic cymbals, or drums, for that matter.

Thing about the drums, too, the volume goes to 12!

Man that was great. I have been listening to Lee Ritenour for 30 Years. Another guy I used to listen to in the old days, and who you should check out, is Larry Carlton.

Cool vid.

Vinnie is an absolute legend on drums - Dude jammed with Sinatra!

Check out the bridge on Andy Mckee's guitar. Anyone know why it's at that angle? Great players.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It affects the intonation of the strings. He tunes to unusual keys.

 

[Jason Gairn]

Presumably, that guitar is built for particular tuning? I've not seen that done before. Alternative tunings, yes, but an angled bridge. Wow! The only alt. tuning I use is DADFAD, for some slide and some Jonie Mitchel picking tunes.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Guitars can have all sorts of weird bridge and fret placement/ angles.
