Caught my guitar instructor on a gig

There are an incredible amount of talented musicians out there, most of them never get a "break" and probably wouldn't want one if it was offered to them.

Coz 60 million teenage girls won't be buying CD's and going to a concert to watch a band play, sing and dance with a very fat bass player.

Not the guitar player. Look on the right of the pic (on the OP link). You see the moon there? That's no moon----it's a BASS PLAYER!!!

I just got some stats BTW- She weighs 390lbs and can out bass anyone you put against her according to the guys at the guitar shop 🙂

Nice! I'm a bit of a blues fan and he's pretty decent. The bass player should hook up with Popa Chubby LOL. 🙂

AllyX - the short version

I just did a 3:40 clip of the lead guitar in isolation. The reason the guitar sounds so dominent is that I am using an on camera mounted mic and I am in front of his Cylinderical Radiator stack.

AllyX - Tom Wooke 10MB down

the bass player is a puddle

He's ok. It sounds forced not smooth/natural.

He's almost there with taking it to that level....

I can get lessons from Ron Jarzombek, Spastic Ink guitarist, and used to play guitar for thrash metal band Watchtower. There are a few vids on Youtube.

Ron Jarzombek is awesome.

Michael Angelo is very entertaining for anyone who likes shredders

OK, it looks like they're playing in A, and then does the solo with a D pentatonic blues scale. It was decent, but the guitarist has a problem getting those diad bends right on the solo. The bends were a bit flat (didn't quite get them up high enough- not many people would hear that though). Have him study Dwayne Allman for a couple of weeks and he'll get them right 🙂

😕 The beginning was played note for note of a classic blues piece (and I'll be damned if I can think of it right now- it'll come to me). Around 3:00, he goes into improv and tell me that sounds forced. I don't think you heard the whole thing.

Sounds like "Messin' With The Kid."

Very nice, OP. I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.

Michael Angelo may be skilled, but he is the worst musician known to man. And I like shredders. He really is an abomination.

No problem 🙂 He toured with Johnny Cash on his final tour- has a lot of cool stories he tells during lessons.

cool vid. Is that a tremolo bar he is using or is it just the glare?

OK, that is circular... When I was about 14, a friend of ours was the guy who taught Richard Betts how to play lead. He said he would show him something and Richard would come back a week later playing it better than he could. 🙂 That was more than 30 years ago.

No tremolo. Must be glare.

lol Batio's stuff gets repetitive after a while. Another crazy shredder is Chris Impellitteri. BUT, the music he writes is awesome. Guitar instrumental Somewhere over the Rainbow is a great one.
