Gilby + Duff

Ok, that wasn't so good

They're doing So Fine, but the guitar player ain't that good.

Duff's doing Believe in Me, he could have called Slash...

Duff's putting a great show, as always.

Easely the best Slash solo project album and lineup, thanks!

LOOL

The DSL will go out of production this year and be replaced by a new series.

Marshall is going to have a product offensive, several models will come out during 2015.

People who have tested both amps seem to prefer the original JCM 2000 made in UK; the demos I've heard online of the DSL 100 seem to be great!

Sounds nice, I liked the unplugged vibe of your version!

The blue Marshall:

Fans are hard to please; chill out and enjoy the great music GN'R have given us, original and new.

People tend to think that artists sit on a chair and after some minutes they're writen a full album. Everybody works at different paces, there's no right or wrong in art and the creative process; all we can ask is that the artists give their best at each time and Axl has always done it so chill out and enjoy the ride; sometimes it goes faster, sometimes slower but it's always great and you can't control it so stop being so negative.

I have 1x12 , 2x12 and 4x12 cabs; I also have a full stack but I use it very rarely!

Most of the times I use a 2x12 cab which is portable enough but it doesn't sounds anything like a 4x12 half stack where the sound is much richier, full, it shakes the ground, there's nothing like it

They had put the half stack in sale out just the day before, Friday where there wasn't much movement on the store. Saturday was Valentine's day so no much movement as well , at least until I got to the shop at lunch time. They just wanted to get rid of it as well as other stuff ; as soon as I plugged the guitar I knew it had been sitting there all these years waiting for someone who really appreciate it, for me . I love the tone and how the amp is so dynamic and truthful to what you play, to your feeling; I guess it was destiny.

Paul Gilbert, Jeff Beck, Slash , Robin Trower have used it . The tone and response is 100% Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, GN'R , Nazareth , Thin Lizzy, Motley Crue; it'll be my main amp when I have a band again.

Yesterday I went to a local music shop where I go like once in a year.

Everytime I went there I saw this purple 100 Watt Marshall Vintage Modern halfstack and kept wondering about it, which was a total of 1700 dollar; it was there for years as a display model. The cabinet is loaded with 4 Celestion Greenback speakers.

Yesterday this half stack was at the entrance of the shop, together with other sale out items; it sure drawed my attention and I asked to test it.

I bounded with it imidiatelly - all the classic Marshall tones are there ; with less bite and brightness than a Jubilee but the same kind of tone, with better high gain (more definition) and better sustain that switches very nicely to singing feedback. I also loved the Greenbacks, never had played them before.

After little tought I bought it; just couldn't pass this great sounding Marshall halfstack for a total of ... 500 dollar, of course with normal warranty (it's a new item, has just been sitting on the store for years)

Very nice vibe; I wish I could put up a band like that!

Unfortunatelly where I live nobody's interested in my style of music and the few one's who like it already have bands.

Keep posting these videos!

Sounds promising; I liked Change Your Head; keep us posted!

Btw, is Nuno Silva portuguese?

Thanks Omar, I'm real glad you liked it! I live in Europe...

I know why I play guitar in the first place, it's because I'm a terrible singer; I think I'm more of a songwriter than anything else and I feel sorry that I just can't put it all out by myself as I've got some good ideas for lyrics and vocal melodies lines for these songs.

Here's the finished version:

Thanks for sharing.

Layne Staley went down through the reiver of deceit; gone to soon.

This is why I'm a guitar player, I can't sing:

The lyrics aren't very understandable so what I'm trying to sing is:

I also felt it had a Pink Floyd vibe and somehow it reminded me of Saxon's Fronzen Rainbow, very nice.

Sounds great, has a 70s feeling into it and your singing reminds me of Izzy Stradlin'!

I think you don't need a premium guitar to sound good.

It the old thing, put a Squier on the hands of Malmsteen, give Zakk and Slash a Epiphone, give Brian May a chinese Red Special and they'll sound great as well, with less sustain, with less tone but still they'll sound great .

The biggest diference is the feeling when playing cheap guitars; usually the action is high which slows you down, the frets buzz, the intonation is off, you have to pick hard for the cheap pickups to capture all your nuances, ... so it's more of a problem to you than to the audience, on a blind sound evaluation I'm sure the high end guitars wouldn't always win.

Also you can improve these cheap guitars with better pickups, leveling frets, chaning the electronics, ....

To me the biggest diference in your tone will always be the amp, so I think that you should always invest more on the amp than on the guitar itself. It's hard to upgrade an amp if it isn't good, a guitar is easely upgraded.

New demo preview, yet to be mixed properly but here's how it goes:

Audio only:

Nothing has happened, I still own all my Les Pauls (5 at the moment) but I want moooore!

I've tried to like other guitars (Strats, Explorers, Teles, SGs) but they don't feel right to me. I love the feeling of the Les Paul, the smaller scale, the narrow neck, the carved "belly", the looks, it just feels right to me.

The more the better!

I'll build my own (not the body or the neck, just the assembly) just for fun but it'll take a lot of time and I have no experience with woods, it'll be a fun hobby.
