| Michael Hedges Maxcast, Phil Keaggy is great. I have lots of his music--not all. Beyond nature is a classic for that style; Lights of Madrid is along the same lines, with some songs having orchestral backing. He is also an exceptional electric guitarist. One CD ... | |
| Jazz/blues guitarist suggestions for SRV fan. Have to second the Jimmy Thackery nomination. Very underrated and overlooked player, IMO. He has a new all-instrumental CD out. Highlight is supposed to be his version of Rude Mood. | |
| No Stairway and no Free bird.. please... Voodoochile, if you can pull off "For the Love of God", you're way out of my league as a guitar player :) Vai and Zappa have been mentioned, but how about "My guitar wants to kill your mama"? I would have to do that one if I ever started a band, a... | |
| Equipment fetish My main problem is amps. At the moment I have in my listening room a Mesa Baron, a pair of Transcendent T8LN monoblocks, 2 David Berning 270's running as monoblocks, and a Wavac 572, as well as older Electrocompaniet AW250 and B & K (I forget ... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Saxo, as a multiple Berning owner, I can only agree with what tubegroover and TWL said regarding its abilities and advantages. However, I'm not quite sure what you mean by the amp 'appearing and disappearing'. If you mean availability of the amp ... | |
| Audio Note-Ref II-CAT Ultimate-or Joule Electra Asa I had considered the Supratek, and I think that there was one listed on here too, but it was already 'sale pending', so I limited my list to those which were still available. I'm not married to the Nordost, by the way; I also have HMS Gran Fin... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites I hate to admit it, but I actually went to a Kiss concert; of course we REALLY went to see the opening act--REO Speedwagon, again, way before "Keep on loving you" cr*p, and left before Kiss even started. Now having said that, I do think that there... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites Ben, no need to explain. Your point is well taken and certainly valid.whFrankly, I wasn't sure of the dates myself until I looked them up, and I'm still not sure about early Styx and REO. I'm just happy to see that somebody else out there apprecia... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites Ben, not to quibble, but are you sure of your dates? Be-Bop Deluxe Axe Victim and Futurama were 1974 releases, Night at the Opera is copyrighted 1975 on my MOFI Cd. I'm sure I listened to Styx "Lady" and whichever REO album had 'Riding the Storm O... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites Mwilson, I've got a Happy the man LP; some of the guys I was in college with knew some of the Happy the Man musicians somehow; I was going to mention Steve Hillage too, especially 'L'--his best solo work in my opinion. 'FIsh Rising' was good too. ... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites Well, KF, it's good to know that some of you 'youngsters' appreciate good music, anyhow!! I forgot one--REO Speedwagon, no not that 'Keep on loving you' s***, but Early stuff, like the album with "Riding the storm out' on it!And how about Styx--no... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites Mandatory 8 tracks for cruising in the car while doing various questionable things.....That 70's show is the perfect generation for me!.Lots of southern rock--Outlaws (Green grass and high tides!), Henry Gross (rare one), CHarlie Daniels band, Mar... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Steve Vai. Steve Morse would be a close 2nd, maybe Bill Nelson ....Buscis, it's been my experience that Steve Morses's CD's are just horribly recorded, to the point where i can hardly listen to them. I don't think it's my system, since I have CD's... | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? Dan, I'm curious about how/in what way people without formal training can't listen in the same way as those with formal training. Do you mean that those with formal training can analyze the technical details of music, like "So and so is playing th... | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? Formal training on trumpet from preschool up through sophomore year in college--classical and 'big band' type jazz ensembles, broadway musical charts (lots of things transposed down an octave), etc. I got good enough to realize that I wasn't good ... |
