Welcome to my RU-vid channel. My main interests are music, mathematics, literature, history, linguistics, medicine, photography and science. My two main instruments are the guitar and the violin. As a photographer, I'm beginning to experiment with video and I'm running a series of weblogs called Nature in Action. I'm very happy to talk about English Literature, and my main area of interest is 19th century/Victorian literature, but I also like like poetry and drama of all eras. As a mathematician my main interests are in Game Theory and Formal Logic. I occasionally dabble in current affairs and philosophy, but my philosophy tends to develop out of my interest in mathematics and "seeing patterns" in nature and music. I would consider myself a Humanist if you want to get into matters of faith. If you want to get in touch then by all means send me a private message.
I think no matter what speed you play be it fast or slow, you have to have something to say and at times be "in the pocket" with the feel and phrasing. Fast playing can have immense feel and emotion, if the player has the vision, skill and soul to pull it off. However those players come along once every 50 years or so, e.g. Allan Holdsworth.
True. Yet Allan would always lay down the chords first to "define the space" he was working in first. When he did solo, he would always leave natural pauses in his phrasing to let the music breath.
@@peterquinn7237 I suppose I was going to the extreme using Allan as an example, as he is not just a one in fifty year musician, he is a total one off never to be repeated, in his own galaxy kind of musician.
I'd add to your list the speed at which people talk these days. They spit words out like bullets from a machine gun, with no pauses between sentences to allow the listener to think about what was said or to reply etc. Perhaps some of this is due to the increasing popularity of Rap "Music", which has a similar vocal delivery.
Quite true. It may also be down to social media, where all the pauses and stammers are edited out, so that you just get a bombardment of information. Also, not a surprise that attention spans are shortening, as much as vocabularies are also diminishing.
@@peterquinn7237 True and how many times have you been told, "I am not reading all that!", after giving them a proper answer to their question, instead of the meaningless throwaway one liner they expected.
@@EgoShredder Yes, I never understood that. Apart from on the bigger channels that get thousands of comments, if the viewer has taken the trouble to post a thoughtful comment, it deserves a courteous reply.
Hi, just seen your video on your Palm Bay Cyclone. Really glad you like it. I actually founded and ran the company for 28 years. I designed and built all the models of which there were many. I designed the Cyclone in 1995 and sold them predominantly in Japan as the best seller in the UK was the three pickup model called the Tidalwave. I actually passed the business over to someone new in 2018 and am now not involved directly with them. I do keep an eye out for them though. The guitar you have is a beauty. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. Kind regards, Andrew
Great pedal .... Use O/D setting only ... then ..... FREQ hard right / CONTOUR hard left adjust EQ to taste and it's a flat out solid pedal. MY EQ settins are: O/D - Gain 1 O'Clock Volume noon Bass at 10 O'Clock (I use a closed backed 2X12 cab) Treble 1 O'Clock FREQ panned hard right (this is the key in my opinion) - turn it all the way to the right Contour panned hard left or try between 7 and 9 o'clock. Really a great pedal for a clean amp platform. The Dist side of it for me is not good at all but the OD side is excellent. Use mine through a Fender Blues Jr (converted to head) and Quilter Tone Block 202. Thanks for giving this a review. They really are fantastic.
I'm really late to the party here, but I played one of these today. Ridiculously heavy. Would really struggle with gigging with one of these or playing it for extended periods.
Thanks. Yes, I agree! Mahogany body and neck, 27.5 inch scale and the cheesy bat inlays. I ended up trading it in for something else. I still think the video is fun tho' for anyone interested in 7 strings.
The 80’s Kramer’s are WAY WAY Better. End of story. ESP in the 80’s was real craftsmanship. No CNC machines. Today’s guitars are not good. Can’t believe guitar players don’t snatch up more of the vintage Kramer’s
pretty funny, I was googling around to see if the 2005 burns was any better or worse then what is out there now, this video was exactly what I was looking for. I have this exact model and always thought it was odd the switches were black, the tremolo arm was a different shape without the knitting needle end and was missing the half moon plate by the tremolo. But that's only aesthetical things, in the end... which one sounds better is the most important.
@@peterquinn7237 yeah, those are said to be pretty sweet. How about the BMG Super RS? I believe those are as accurately close to BM's setup as you can possibly get. They run around 3-4k.
@@JPDay Thanks. Yes, I'm aware of them, but there is a waiting list. I spoke with Loxley Guitars at the Birmingham Guitar Show in February. They will build a replica for you at a similar price, but you can customise it how you want i.e.. a flame top, an F hole, different woods etc.
I liked it :>) It has feeling that is just outside the normal.Really worth spending time doing again and again. I found after five hours straight I then began noticing I was getting better.I played for two more hours and ran out of musical " gas " Cheers mate and thank you again :>)
Thanks. Yes, if you watch the original scene with Rutger Hauer's delivery of the monologue, you'll notice it's quite stilted and hesitant. Vangelis clearly followed this in his score. It's still a very powerful piece of cinema.
Hi Peter, this is so informative, thank you for sharing, I have a question, would you be able to replicate the Blackmore sound with the MS-2 as well or it just works with the MS-4. Thanks again for your amazing work.
@@peterquinn7237 I think he's a fine composer and arranger. And an excellent record producer. But I haven't really been inspired by much of anything he's released in the past 24 years or so. Zona Desperata is the last piece I really loved.
