I got the Squier Cabronita w/Bigsby from Guitar Center for $200 US cuz it had a dent in the back. I swapped out all of the components and it is a dream guitar! I love it. I'm often finding Squier necks are built better than MIM Fenders and some US models!

Hello all, The band I jam with has decided to cover Band on the Run. Frankly, I never had much use for Macca since Revolver but I'm developing a deep appreciation for his Wings stuff. Can y'all point me in the direction of some of his best solo "rockers"? Heavy guitar songs. I have recently acquired Band on the Run, Venus, and Speed and sorting my through them now. I kn

Hello all, Sorry if this has been addressed (to death). I read in Stones Gear that BW claims Ry Cooder played on the album version of Prodigal Son. I looked for the quote in his Blues Odyssey book but I couldn't find it (I didn't look that hard). It's always been obvious to me that there are 2 (at least) guitar tracks on the BB cut but I never heard that Ry was the 2nd guitaris

Being really blasted at my fist show in 78. I only remember bits and pieces. That was their last great tour in my mind. They were still really raggety then. My other regret is continuing to go see them expecting a return to their pre-Steel Wheels live sound. I see them every time they come round hoping they will play heavier but it just seems to get less edgier. Quite bland really when compar

He cant hit those notes.He hasnt been able to since 1980. I believe it was a result of coming off of smack. His voice got deeper, hair changed , wrinkles...basically he caught up with himself Some people who have been a long time users of opiates find theiir bodies change significantly after they stop. Some find that the drug slows down the aging process and it catches back up Listen to T

Hello all, I posted this message on "Hot Stuff" as well. A friend of mine insists that there is an outtake of Brown Sugar with the acoustic guitar high up in the mix. She said that there is only 1-2 electric guitars playing but they are really low in the mix. According to her, this is supposedly the session where KR put on the acoustic track in 1969/70 Anyone aware of this version?

Thank you Mathijs! My questions are mostly amp related. Not sure if they are pertinent. I'm interested to learn if the white Ampegs are still around and what mods were performed on them (if any) I'm curious how Woody biases his amps.

My arthritis makes it hard to barre chords on the first 3 frets and it doesn't sound right on the 8th (A) or the 13th (E), nor does playing a normal F give you the right feel Any help would be appreciated.
