    That was bloody brilliant! I'd love to hear it played through an over driven amp with a good drum beat and chugging riff behind it, actually, just throw the whole book of cliches at it and it'll still sound good!
    Tomorrow will be a good day.

    Six strings is fine by me. No offence to those who play 7/8 strings or enjoy the sound but I think it sounds like garbage.

    Charlie Hunter does something that is easier to relate to but still very far outside my understanding or abilities 
    The 'no guitar is safe' podcast with him where he goes into Salsa and South American music was amazing, highly recommended.

    Impressive and I prefer listening to him on clean stuff rather than distorted but Charlie Hunter and Trey Gunn are more for me if I want to listen to that sort of thing within the context of a song. Charlie Hunter on the D'Angelo stuff was just fantastic.

    Tosin is a beast and I really liked the first 2 albums.
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.
