    Rest days?

    Muscle memory, kinda like Karate, or driving a manual transmission automobile. The repetition of a task, until it's second nature. But there's a point of where rest is as important as the task itself, so one doesn't over stimulate. fascinating stuff. Ever go through Steve Vai's 10 hour work...

    Rest days?

    It is like exercise... I'll work at it very hard, for 2 days, hours at a time. And then take a day off. Don't even think about the guitar, go outside, or work on a different hobby. Get your brain away from it. When the 4th day comes, I'll pick up the guitar, but not think of what I'm playing...

    The Stratocaster Thread

    I LOVE strats!!! I've had upwards of 20something of them at a time, but the herd has thinned a bit over the years. (more quality, than quantity) These are all keepers. from left to right -MIJ '70's reissue, with HS3's, and a scalloped board. Nice Malmsteen look to it -MIJ '50's reissue....this...

    What Do You Use to Treat, Maintain or Protect A Rosewood Or Ebony Fretboard?

    I've worked on guitars for a long time, but will be quick to say I don't know everything. And most importantly, no disrespect to the methods of others, but here's what works for me. I won't use steel wool to clean the board as the rust-inhibiting oil is pretty heavy in viscosity, and I feel it...

    Like someone mentioned before, I cannot remember the little 9v battery operated amp I had for my first week of playing electric. I soon needed more volume, and this was the first amp I bought! nasty little bollix.

    The Marshall Silver Jubilee Thread

    I love my Jubilee! Had it since '96. I was working in a guitar shop in '87 when these came out...and remember unpacking them for the first time, such a crazy looking amp when accustomed to the 800 for so long.

    Jubilee Owners...boost?

    For many years, I ran an old DOD preamp/overdirve 250...it nailed Malmsteens early (cleaner) tone Currently, I do two things depending on how much flexibility I need. I 'll run a direct out of my Lead 12, right into the front of the head. (much like Gibbons) Or, I'll use the DOD up wind from a...

    So was there a guitar solo or piece that made you take up playing

    In middle school (1979) our music teacher had us watch the Jimi Hendrix section of the Monterey Pop Festival. Killing floor was the first tune...blew me out of the water. I was like 8 years old...had no idea who Jimi was, and why he was wearing a pink boa, but I really didn't care! The next...
