Styrbjorn Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 As my honor is at stake I should make clear that my Yngwie post was entirely sarcastic. I've actually never heard McAlpine before, Styrbjörn. Unleash the fury Otto, I know you've got all Yngwie's albums. Tony is great, he's the only technical (I hate the term "shredder") player I like. He started off in the neo classical style (who didn't in the 80's?) but has now matured into a beautiful fusion of rock and jazz. His work with Planet X is sublime, check out the album "Moonbabies." I'm more of a Kossoff/Page/Blackmore kind of guy, but if you want the technique with taste, T-MACS the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireOpal Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The B bender is connected to the guitar strap button on the guitar horn. You activate it by basically pulling down on the guitar the strap then pulls the mechanism attached to the strap button http://www.inet-direct.com/dove/paulbender11.jpg Thanks, DBJ - that clears things up for me. Back to the discussion: I don't really see a conflict between the emotional and the technical sides of music. What has always impressed the hell out of me about Jimmy is that he's both an artist and a technician - in the sense that he can write and play a piece of music that will make you blubber like a sap AND he knows how to get that sound, his vision, on tape (or digital hard-drive if that's the case). For myself, I always like to hear how musicians and/or producers were able to create something. Like when I heard "When the Levee Breaks" I wanted to know how Page got such a massive drum sound, and how he created that sliding, eerie collage of sounds at the end. It's a great thing - I miss that about music today. I enjoy a lot of current music, but I can't remember the last time I felt like, "wow! How did they do that?!"

It sounds like poetry to me, but ya know, Slave...we are no experts..... They can keep and talk about all the technical details they want for days, months and years, I don't care. I will keep listening to it with my heart and soul and if that makes me feel good, well the rest is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
