    Had some fun with this today!

    Dave, I hung out on your youtube channel for a while. Your playing with Black Tora is very impressive. You have some serious lead chops, rhythm style/and tone. I really enjoy that kind of soloing - melody, tension and quality use of speed. To my ears, Vivian Campbell and Vandeberg must be...

    Whatever Happened to Vito Bratta???

    Yep. The man could really solo. He was like a good combo of Nuno, VH and DiMartini who played a lot of power ballad hair rock.

    Artists you can't stand

    KISS. Just no... Steve Martin. Not a funny guy. He takes the banjo seriously and shows up on talks shows to play dreary folk songs. not my bag....

    Philosphy

    +1. I also believe that some people go through life finding reasons to be happy, while other people in the same circumstance would find reasons to feel sorry for themselves.

    Where will your gear go after you die?

    My gear will be split up between my two rocking boys: Walker and Texas Ranger. My ashes will be sent to Massingil for one last adventure.

    Suhr or American Strat

    I've played them both. a great friend of mine has a Suhr with hss configuration that he let me gig with. Blind-folded, the American Strat and Suhr were very hard to differentiate. I will say that the Suhr pickups are extremely clear and have excellent sustain. I'm guessing they are similar...

    HSS 500/250 question???

    Before I go an mess something up, I wanted to confirm if this idea has merit: On my HSS Strat, I currently have my humbucker and 2 Texas Special singles running to a 500K volume pot. I would like to convert my middle tone nob into an isolated volume control for my 2 single coils. this would...

    Fusion

    Super, Those middle-aged smart guys with their sophisticated music and confidence with the Suhr guitars seam to have you in a pickle. I'd say your backs against the wall. No wonder you would need to vent about this tragic situation here. You gonna be alright? just funnin with ya...hahaha.

    The go to guitar

    For good venues in my rock band, it's my LP Studio Deluxe Iced Tea with CTS Pots/Bare Knuckle Abraxas/Black Dog pu's, If the weather conditions are poor, I pull out my highly customized 50's vintage vibe. At the house, I may go a month playing nothing but my Seagull acoustic (everyday).

    Russia in color, a century ago

    I really enjoyed that! I was struck by the lack of asphalt/concrete street paving and overhead power-lines. It was also depressing to see the Sart lady having to completely conceal herself. either she was oppressed or damn ugly. Come on now, lets have a look-see!

    Mötley Crüe or Gun N Roses (the real one)

    What makes this a tough call for me is the long stretch between Crue's breakout album Shout at the Devil and AFD. Straight up album comparison, I would say AFD is one of the all-time greats. That being said, I'd pick Crue as a better band. Vince is much less annoying than Axl. Slash is...

    How many Americans know who this guy is?

    Breaking Carmichael's record will be incredible. I never would have tnought that to be possible. I'm damn near crippled from years of motocross (true story). It's a tough sport by any measure. . Those sissy hocky boys wouldn't make it through a warm up at Loretta Lynns. RB:yesway:

    Will a Fender HSS Strat do a proper brown sound?

    Mine is the 2013 Surf Green model. I installed a 500K cts push/pull volume control ($9.99). I always disconnect tone controls on Strats. Yes it makes a slight difference. I wouldn't say its huge, but I do notice a little more open/brighter tone.

    Will a Fender HSS Strat do a proper brown sound?

    Yep. I just bought an American Special Strat: 22 jumbo frets and satin neck (Maple, but not sticky Maple). I added a Bare Knuckle Humbucker in the bridge and 500k push/pull volume pot. I've owned many guitars and this one does a solid brown sound with ease.
