I definitely get it. Nothing you have said about pickers resorting to hybrid isn't anything I didn't say myself back in the shred days, like verbatim, lol.

I just meant it more in the way that people who play classical growing up and then switch to electric usually grab a pick and hit reset instead of taking a nylon approach on electric.

I think it's fascinating that he learned by copying his dad's fingerstyle and started on electric, was influenced by electric players, but decided at that young of an age that he's more comfortable with fingerstyle and fukk electric tradition - he's going to do it his way. That's just super rare to have that kind of individuality at that age and not cave, so to speak.

Yeah, it's super easy to laze it up and just start throwing it in on legato lines, lol. Sometimes the right hand just wants to chill.

Speaking of hypocrisy, I finally dipped my feet into a hardware modeler and picked up an FM3. I have to say: HO. LEE. ****. After playing it for 30 minutes, I fired off an email and put my name on the FM9 waitlist.

I heard a lot of crying about the UI, but that has gotta be one of the easiest pieces of digital gear I've ever had to program, and then when you start using FM3-Edit, it's ridiculously user friendly.

That's where the link to Holdsworth is for me.

No one was doing legato like AH in the 70s. Di Meola, Mclaughlin, etc. were all picking every note as fast as they could. He didn't go to a music school (Berklee) like Di Meola. His father wouldn't buy him a saxophone, he saw the electric guitar as a tool "like a screwdriver," and away he went trying to replicate the tone, attack, and fluidity of Coltrane and co. on an electric guitar with distortion.

After Tony Williams Lifetime, Jean Luc Ponty, UK, Bruford, the Bannister Effect kicked in. Once guitarists saw it was a viable method for soloing on an electric guitar they started trying to copy his approach. Some didn't get very far but took what they needed to approximate it like Satriani, EVH (on 1984), etc.

The same will happen with Mancuso. Guitarists born in the last 10-15 years with the benefit of time and neuroplasticity can go all in trying to copy him since they know it's a viable method but unlike Holdsworth for most of his career pre-internet there wasn't a glut of crystal clear free instructional videos, tab, and so on breaking it down which is why you'd hear the likes of Gambale, Garsed, Vai, and others saying they had no idea what he was doing. It's too late for older generations who perhaps backed the wrong horse technique wise for what they're trying to do. In that case just sit back and admire it.

Btw I enjoyed the way you broke down the technique in the last couple of posts. It is appreciated.

Without Joe's lessons as a beginner does Vai get into Berklee and on Frank Zappa's radar which led to Alcatrazz, Crossroads movie, and DLR?

And without Vai's fame and influence, does guitar teacher Joe get a record deal, Ibanez endorsement, Dimarzio, D'Addario, magazine covers, etc. and viable career as a solo artist?

A six string bromance for the ages.

For sure. It will be interesting as to what the look of right hand technique in fusion will be in the future because I think different+great attracts more people than common+great does, so many young players will be influenced to work on that approach.
Originally Posted By rollerball
Yeah that is a great point. The confidence and commitment for Mancuso to just stick with the finger style technique and apply it broadly in manner that has not been done before with the exception of Lenny Breau is just as extraordinary as his abilities imo.
Indeed. In order to be different+great one has to go through different+shiitty before one can become different+great, so dude must have taken a lot of shiit from his rock peers during his formative years but he stuck it out.

There are days when I’m all about my ENGL tube amp but then there are days where I complete forget about it in favor of the FM3.
Yeah, just wish it would allow 2 amp blocks. Amp blocks don't seem too CPU intensive as compared to cab blocks, and 2 amp blocks + 1 cab block, and maybe a reverb and drive shouldn't peak it past 80%.

I suppose people would pile blocks on and constantly get muted audio and CPU warnings and then rip Fractal on forums and potentially damage their reputation, but it would be nice to have the option to run 2 relatively dry amp blocks.

Can't believe this thread is still running...

Brahs, I am thinking about learning the bass. I played low brass in high school, listened to way too much Rush in high school, and told myself that one day after college ended, I'd learn the bass. I have never played guitar or chit before, but know basic high school band type theory.

What is a good beginner bass, that I could turn around and sell easily if I don't end up being into it? I don't mind paying a little more for an instrument if I can get my money back out of it.

Listen to the line at 5.24:





It sounds so outside and unorthodox but still so wonderfully musical. Of course, Holdsworth had a ridiculous reach which allowed him to play massively spanning angular lines which would break the fingers of a mortal man.


Besides, his very mode of thought is pretty alien. Have you seen his REH video? He talks about his approach to music there and his whole manner of thinking. He also didn't do pull offs in his legato runs either, everything was hammer ons, even descending lines. Then of course his sliding out of key by a semitone and right back in again, stuff that doesn't really lend itself to an explicit tonal analysis, but sounds cool as feck anyway.

So many little nuances in his playing which made him so stand out.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

[QUOTE=rollerball post_id=1696755123]Recently got a Martin 000-JR10 for $599 OTD.
It’s obviously a 000 shape but smaller seeming and with all solid woods which is nice for a Martin at this price range.

Here’s me plunking away on it with a somewhat abrasive pick. I think it’s a strong price point.

[youtube]ITFNqOCQ41s[/Yout ube][/QUOTE]Great stuff

Martin's are nice, I intend to own one someday. There's a mom & pop shop I visit every time I'm in Texas (where I got my big Gibson SJ200) and they have a dark sunburst D-18 that plays and sounds amazing.

They have a D28 there that was awesome as well. I want a mahogany one, dem darker tones. My taylor is super bright. I've been toying with a J45 Gibby, but I think I liked the D18 more, and it's less money, too

Tbh the FM3 seems to hit max CPU load rather quickly even compared to the previous gen Axe FX II.

The amps and cabs feel better on my FM3 but the effects and ability to layer more of them is something I miss about the Axe FX II.

I mainly use the FM3 for these very dry, simple chains with usually jusr some kind of plexi into cab into a smidgeon of delay and dash of reverb.
In a preset, I can get about 8 effect blocks (not counting cab/amp) to run 8 scenes and hit about 70% running in series. It seems that blocks, even if they are inactive for a scene, still are eating up CPU space so that scene changes within a preset are gapless, I guess.

I haven't yet built a present with a bunch of chorus voices, multiplexer, and ultra-high reverbs, though. I found out that the amp, cab, and delay blocks are on the second core which isn't displayed as part of the the CPU usage meter, so maybe the single amp block pings the shiit out of that core and there's not enough room to allocate for another amp block.

Besides, his very mode of thought is pretty alien. Have you seen his REH video?
Dude, I'm pretty sure Dom saw that video before you were born.

That's called side-slipping, and a tonal analysis can't get any more explicit than that. It's quite literally, "Yeah, man. Now play that same shiit again, but play that shiit up a half-step, man. Yeah, that's it, man."

Deep: "On second thought, I don't play golf with broads. You're such a scumbag that I'd be much more inclined to just slap the chit out of you."

z4: "MMA match works, too. So when are you available this month?

Deep: "I won't subject myself to being in the presence of a scumbag."
