Do the Burgers - Mebbe i've got it wrong but I think that tracks are often referred to as songs even if they are instrumental. I reckon the guitarist and songwriter refers to the fact that not only does he play he writes the music as well. Having said that, I will add my usual rider 'I could be talking bollox' LOL

I agree with you Stew..the Songwriter part is emphasized because of the Coldplay deal for sure.....but im almost sure the settlement was made so the reputation of Coldplay is not tarnished...and ill guess they paid dearly for that...but also...i think a mediator or judge told them...settle this out of court and dont waste State money on a squabble between 2 rich people...if so, ill guess again that the lawyers settled it...where the musicians would have never.

Joe, (or other members) my eleven year old son is also a fan of your's and has chosen you as a topic for a school assignment. He needs to send a letter to you but I haven't noticed a fan mail PO Box. If you accept snail mail we would appreciate getting the address. Thanks!

Hi all,
I think the idea of having Joe playing with a low-budget guitar/amp would be awesome to prove you don't need expensive gear to play and have fun with a guitar.
It reminded me of one episode I had a long time ago with Gonçalo Pereira, who taught me for a couple of months (I think you guys have already heard of him).
I referred to him something about the importance of maintaining all your fingers in good health to be a good guitarist. He then showed me what it would be like if he lost two of his fingers, by playing guitar using just the index and the middle finger.
All I can say is:
1) you barely could tell the difference
2) two of his fingers play better than my four :S
If Gonçalo Pereira doesn't need all of his fingers, why would Joe need multi-thousand dollars equipment to sound awesome??
Cheers,
VP

Amazing vid, Axe.
I'm sad to announce that a great guitar player in a very up and coming band, and a friend of mine, died yesterday. Adam Nill was still in College, while his band Nex was on a hiatus at the time. Adam lived a few houses down from me before he went to college. I'm very sorry to know that no one else will get to witness the talent, or especially the person he was.

Exactly what I was talking about... His sound comes from his fingers, not from the guitar/amp/fxs. Txs for the video, Axe!

Hi again,
I have to make a decision and I need help/opinions:
Since 1988, I was playing Strat and Marshal. No fxs, besides one Ibanez delay. I loved my tone. The bridge pickup is a Fred. On the neck I use a Seymour Duncan.
Then something happened to my amp and the tone got ruined. At the same time, I stopped playing for a couple of years. When I restarted, I mostly recorded at home so I used PC software effects to shape the sound. Then, 3 or 4 years ago I restarted playing live again. I went for a BOSS GT-8 (7?) that in the meantime got lost and I replaced it with a Line 6 Pod. I've been playing directly to the sound mixer, with no amp (besides monitor). I use the amp/mic emulation and it sounds good to me.
To record at home, it suites me fine. Playing live, the fact is I was never fully happy with the result, but I've always associated it with poor monitors since at home it sounded nice.
The other day I played live with another guitarist (will share a video of him in a couple of days, he was awesome) and every time the guy switched to his solo tone, his sound was far better than mine, no doubt. He played a PRS with a JCM 900.
My question is: is it me that can't shape a proper tone in my POD or is it simply impossible for a pod through a PA to sound exactly or equivalent to a plain old amp?
Any experiences/thoughts are welcome. I started thinking that I need a good amp (probably Marshall) but wanted to be sure that I can't do any better with my Line 6.
Txs in advance,
VP

ptrocker:I know that feeling used to have the perfect full on solo sound till my 70.s Hiwatt bass head & some original jap boss pedals took a walk.I,ve been playing clean with no Dist or Ov ever since, no way i could replicate that tone, i,ve tried continuously for 14 years to find it again without any success but if i could afford to go for a great solo tone i,d prolly go for either a 70,s Marshall MK2 & or Cornford 50W head into a stock Marshall 1960B cab, forget the processors, i,ve had em all or tried em...nothin comes close to air gettin pushed around....old school all the way

Yet they are so practical! How I enjoy carrying just two bags to the gigs and taking 5 minutes to set things up... :)))
But I'm starting to realize the sound quality might be far from what I expected... But then, how come they sound so good at home?

PT: being an apple guy I tried some of the Garage Band virtual amps and they sounded awful compared to my old 70's Harmony clean with the Satchurator. I really hated the latency also. Oh I'd love a JVM 410H with the slant cab, but after my most recent guitar purchase, that won't be happening for awhile.

ptrocker:The majority of my old tone came from original jap boss pedals.I,d take those 7 pedals in a box to every gig & session,unfortunately they are now discontinued & have been replaced with new versions made in Taiwan which really suck major bad tonaly in comparison. I had comp, noise sup, Korg OV1 "still have" DS1, chorus, bass parametric EQ & Reverb that had an amazing eq on it.The tone was exquisite
& yup smokin weed does tend to make sound amongst other things a little better lol, enjoy yer spliff
