Oh man - that video makes me feel like a heartbreaker for not putting out more music. It’s a very moving but strange experience to have people care that much about my music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDlV9szrwpI Im sure you've already seen this, I just came across it.
BTW you mentioned wanting to own an original red Jackson Rhoads like you borrowed for the video. I have one thats not doing me any good if you r interested. Would be an honor to work something out, not asking alot for it.
About the red Rhoads: as much as I like the idea of owning one, realistically it wouldn’t get used as much as it should. It’s a stage guitar, and I haven’t played live for a long time. If that were to change, I’d revisit the idea. Thank you so much for offering, though.
You also asked for tone tips... I don’t really have a tone philosophy; I crank tube amps and see if the sound inspires me. I am adaptable, so I can make most amps (and guitars) sound like me. I think it’s a consequence of not owning an amp for the first few years of playing in a band, so I would just have to borrow an amp (and a cooler guitar) on the day of the gig, and no matter what I ended up with, I had to make it work for me.
I’ve played in bands since pretty much day one, so I’ve learned that to cut through, a drier sound with fewer effects works better. I also probably have more treble and mids than someone who dials in a great bedroom level sound with their pedalboard. There is no right or wrong, of course, but whenever I use someone else’s rig, I end up turning off most of the bells and whistles.
