Re:Blues Setup

<t>Humbuckers don't sound like single coils. Otherwise there wouldn't be any single coils on any guitars anymore.<br/> <br/> Kenny said it, humbuckers usually have a higher output than single coils (although there are some juicy single coils around, too). While they do get rid of the hum, they still...

Re:Blues Setup

<t>The way I use overdrive pedals is not so much as a source for distortion but mainly as a boost for the amp. The end result is more distortion anyway, but it comes mainly from the amp and not the pedal.<br/> But yes, tone mainly comes from the player. Trying different picks can also make a huge di...

Here's a video of somebody driving it with an LP (looks like a studio to me but I don't know the first thing about LPs).<br/> <YOUTUBE id=...

Re:From the Beginning Inspiration

Target in action: ELP - The Sage (New Cover video)

<r>Finally I got the time to record a new video, The Sage by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I really liked the lesson, and I'm quite happy with my version, even though I can't sing it.
