Thread: Guitar Showdown Anyone?

Those are pretty badass guys, i got some okay news that may come to mind, but i'll wait shortly before showing.

CB, its Pink Floydish because its a david gilmour blues backing.

Erm, i may be goin in to get my guitar fixed today, i don't know, i need someone to give me a lift up there and it could be difficult, may i ask how long i have left to post a submission? I really want to take part in this one.

If my vote counts, we wait for you.

Blimey! You lot are really quick off the mark! Some of us Brits have only just got up! I'm going to have to move my arse on this one, if I can find any time today.. how long have we got?

And thanks for the mp3 conversion pj.. much appreciated.

Depending on how long we have left I will try and get it done asap. If I don't have it done by the end of the day then just carry on without me. I don't even know if it can be fixed today, and I don't want to be messing you all about. I'll see what I can do.

Great work pj and O!

pj? There's one bit around 1.10 where you hit the improv heights imo. Just a little downward run of 4-5 notes, but spot-on. Sounds so good I'm going to have to nick it! Not so sure about the Steinberger sound, though. I've heard them before, and I think they're an acquired taste. Great take though, pj.

O? Your upper fret sound is mega! Fantastic bite and sustain.. what guitar do you play? The red Gibson Les Paul? Is it a Gibbo?

I'm gonna have to go some to keep up with the standard already shown. Good work guys.

Thank you! You are welcome to whatever it is - I'm going to have to go back and listen to find out what it is.

The Steinberger is a chameleon of sorts. I chose the bridge pickup, which is a passive EMG humbucker. On afterthought, I probably should have gone with the center pickup, which is single-coil, and applied some EQ to brighten it up a bit. Ah well - 20/20 hindsight.

Ha! The SRV approach there, at least at the beginning. Riviera Paradise, anybody?

Loverly tone... nice work.

Okay. Here's my entry. I felt really restricted doing this. I kept telling myself "Slow! Slow!" and it was challenging, although good practice. I couldn't always resist the temptation to let rip however, but I tried to keep it to a minimum.

G&L Comanche > GK250ML > PC + echo.

It's the bit between 1.05 and 1.07 approx.

Thanks, Pj!

Thanks, LS. And doing worry, man. Whenever you get around to it.

Thanks! It's an Epihone Les Paul run through a Zoom505II pedal and an old ART MultiVerb Alpha panel.

Awesome. Pj's right - it does sound a bit like SRV. You've got some pretty quick fingers, man. Those runs are great.
