Yeah, I am a little worried about 4 cable method with it. But fractal is great. I used the Ultra live for a long time before stupidly selling it and going back to Vox. I used the extra $$$ for some medical bills but regret selling the Ultra. The FX8 will have a small run in October and full producti...

I'm still torn, jackson ampworks Britain 30 with the fx8 or an axe 2 xl?! Once I've decided I will pick it up for my current rig if I go jackson route.

I have to go Sheehan! Not to downplay the talents of any others, but his playing on the live in Astoria is phenomenal! And I kinda like his tone and style more than others.

I didn't realize he used a seven string on bad horsie, it's just a regular Jem strung 10-52 He says. This from "Vai Himself" 'Bad Horsie' was inspired by the riff from the guitar dual section in 'Crossroads' when I'm imitating the train. In the 'Crossroads' film I had my sixth string tuned to 'D' bu...

He's quoted as using 10s sizes 10-52 strings on this forum somewhere. A lot of people prefer 11s for dropped C but do what feels best to you!

He skipped the arpeggios in that video.

I seem to recall hearing the same thing on playing it live, but couldn't confirm where.

I'd say jump on it! Unless you need rosewood to feel right! IMO the older ebony necks were made better and had higher quality craftsmanship. Plus that price is amazing. I would check to make sure it's original parts and bridge can be setup properly, knife edges are good, intonates well. But if it ca...

Obamacare.. Duh! Thats the main reason!!! But on a serious note, inflation, employees, taxes, marketing, Vai's share, I'm sure they have a profit margin they want and if it drops below they will raise it to get that profit margin. It all adds up. I think as long as people continue to pay the price, ...

I think watermelon might be addictive! Mono meal is just one fruit or veggie for a meal, I guess it could be done all day, but I do meal wise. So only pineapple for breakfast, only bananas for luch type thing. On some research the idea is that it digests much easier, and doesn't start to ferment n t...

That's great! I took a long time off guitar due to a wrist injury, it's amazing how fast I bounced back on some things and others seems like I never even learned. The music and theory side has been a little easier to keep up with. I never considered how other cultures and places may learn, speak, an...

I have to try that one too! Im on a huge watermellon kick right now. Been doing monomeals of it! Got a few of em to go after a great price on some from a local market. I do better with monomeals it seems. I dont get that tired feeling after I eat. Might be something to it I need to research! Keep em...

Pictures or it didn't happen!

I've thought of doing the same thing. I was going to get an "out of the swirled body" and try my shot at makng everything else. The neck seemed much to complicated so I never tried, but building a kit might be fun!

Just what the title says folks! I'm currently running through fretboard logic....again. Working on theory and chord formation in multiple locations, as well as notes of scales and circle of fifths stuff. Technique wise I'm working on inside alternate picking (an exercise from John Petrucci's Rock Di...

Indonesia cost a lot less than Japan. Kinda how we outsource our call centers in America to India. Saves the company money, saves the customer money. I like the premium guitars, they do great work for their price!

The secret to fast alternate picking is legato.... Come on bro! If your having some issues I recommend john Petruccis Rock Discipline, and Paul Gilbert's intense rock vol 1. They are not using legato to alternate pick fast, and neither is anyone else. Alternate picking is not legato, legato is not a...
