Please post your music. Always nice to leave something behind before we move in with Jimi and SRV upstairs.

Haha, I have seen that pedal. I was tempted to buy it for the sake of humour, but I think it sounds like ass and it has no use whatsoever (a bit like me sometimes)!

I kinda thought the same thing on that pedal. A pedal to plug into my other pedals and turn the knobs???? Also totally agree on Rory. I'll need to finish up what I am working on to post. OTOH I have a relative who plays out in a band and does a little self-funded touring. I could PM a link to bandcamp or FB. Not sure I've contributed enough to spam the site

I believe he does it with humbuckers.
I can do a passable Bad Penny with my standard issue SG

Spam away!
His (what looks to be mostly used) SG had 3 sings coils but am sure he would sound awesome with any guitar.

Never really sunk in that he used singles. I had his stuff when I was younger. Juggernaut and Tales of the Unexpected are what I owned.
I'll work out some music I am working on. Total home ametuar stuff. But here's the band I mentioned. Heavy rock sound. Bass player is 1/2 Macedonian. I'm linking Bandcamp and Facebook. (Some scary stuff there, LOL)


I'd suggest starting with the song and EP Black Widow Woman. I like several off Modern Age too.

Great stuff.
I enjoyed the Modern Age album.
Moments of the Doors meets Sabbath in a garage!
Good fun!

I can't read or play music and I don't know anything about guitars. This guy is often considered the greatest pioneer rock guitarist in Greece. I'd be interested to hear a foreign opinion.

He's definitely good. I can see why he has fans. I especially liked the stuff he was doing when the guy was singing. That was a cool lick/riff.
Way better than I can do of course. So not speaking as a player but as a fan of guitar music, I'd consider him entry level pro. I'd put him in a very good player category. Haven't heard enough to judge his writing skills. It wouldn't surprise me if I heard something by him I really liked.

Sweet, I'll let them know.That's a good compliment. Someone else once said they were "Motorhead if they smoked weed instead of doing speed or Black Sabbath if they did speed instead if smoking weed" So there's a trend......
I asked before posting, they were like "Hell yeah we want fans from all over"


Within the next week I''l try to record a little of my playing just for grins. Maybe a mix of up some Sabbath, Rory, Cooper and few other things.

It's pleasant. He is very good in a Balkan kind of way. A lot of Bouzouki in his past I imagine. Very precise, didn't miss a beat. Just not next level stuff.

I would say Eric Johnson might be what he would aspire to. Melodic and precise:

I can't just blow wind up Canadian guitarist"s arses without acknowledging a true gift to humanity in this mind blowingly awesome Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel:

Chet Atkins bestowed the title "CGP" on him. Certifed Guitar Player. Less than a handful have ever received the honour. Tommy deserves that and more.

That IS is a high honor. Ive never heard of him though. I'll watch it later after my Futbol American.....

Other good Canadians:
Rick Emmit from Triumph
Alex Lifeson from Rush, who is a Serb BTW. Was arrested in Florida anout 12 years ago as Alex Zivojinovich,.....(Lifeson).
