Starting things with Guitar, but there's also Sandsculpting... and all those cool old, abandoned places I like to explore. Oh well, might as well try and do it all!
Excellent cover of this great band, I have time listening to them and you have done a great job. I would like to buy a Zion Radicaster guitar or a powerglide but I never find where to do it, could you help me or tell me where to buy a zion guitar please?
There's always reaching out to zionguitars.com/ or Reverb/Ebay. I took me 20-years to find the PowerGlide. So, lots of patience. Also, watch FB under the Zion Player's Coalition. They sometimes list Zions for sale. Hope that helps.
I’m sure you meant Phil has only four fingers on his right hand … if he’s got nine fingers there, then that’d be a pretty awesome (but kinda weird) hand… don’t ya think?
You've made a mistake. You're trying to play two guitar parts at the same time. The peace of mind solo section you're playing was done by two guitarists. Tom and Barry.
I think you may be right. Not likely that Phil could pull off the same zanny events. I believe that 2006 was when I digitized the concert. Thanks for catching. I'll have to update my notes.
What a GREAT story!! Wonderful to hear your voice narrate it as only you can do. Loved it, Ron. What a meaningful time for this young couple…one they will never forget. Loved that the whole beach was in on it! Haha.
When it comes to playing, I've found it's always a continuing journey. I practiced this one for over a year... and it never fails that when you hit record on the video, you forget everything! Lol. What model Zion do you have?
@SandcastlingGuy I honestly don't know. It's got the body of a strat. I'm not sure if it was a custom one or not. It has a strange feature where you pull up the tone knob to activate one of the pickups.
It's pretty much holding the pick like a scraper against the lower wound strings (I mostly use the E and A strings ). Back in the 80's after a Petra concert I found a used guitar pick on the ground. Upon examination, there were two deep grooves along the edge. I''d watched the pick slide being done on Bob Hartman's "Judas' Kiss" solo, but I was very surprised at how damaged that poor pick was. I don't usually dig that deep with pick slides (keeps my picks from getting too ragged). But, ymmv. Go ahead, give it a shot. See what sounds good!
your recipe sounds awesome. Have you tried Overloud's new Rock Guy? I just got it yesterday, sounds pretty great, love to hear what you think needs tweaking if anything
The half-cocked wah sound can be replicated with a Crybaby Q zone pedal. Or, in Tom’s case, a wah pedal. He was doing this in the early/mid 1970’s. Not nearly the available choices. He also knew what made sounds and how to manipulate them. THAT is the part everyone is missing. We’d all be better off creating riffs of our own, and sounds of our own, rather than chasing a ghost. Tom doesn’t do social media in any manner. So no, he’s not watching.
Very good, you've come very close, short of overlayed tracks. The sound is like violins on steroids. So, why not get a small orchestra together? That's basically what Tom did digitally.
I don’t understand😢😢😢 the fast lane is on the left so why would the speed decrease on the left and increase on the right???Oohhhhh waiiitt maybe the pictures flipped..??
You need a Dimarzio super distortion pickups to sound like Boston. Put them in your guitar, you said your pickups suck. Its basicslly that, and a cranked marshall with punched mids. A wah wah pedal for leads.
Dude! It sounds REALLY good! I will say that's seems like a LOT of work and probably a lot more money, but it's the closest I've heard. I recently got the idea that if I picked up an old Rockman, ran my guitar through it and then sent the output to my Blackstar amp, I could get close. I haven't tried and it's not really how that device was intended to be used, but the chorus on the original Rockman is THAT Boston sound!
