Open G or drop D tuning?
If you want to listen to a genius guitar player and be able to tell you're listening to a genius guitar player you could do a lot worse than listening to Johhny Maar.Quote:

A very brief excerpt of Machine Gun from 50 years ago, in the opinions of many of the greatest guitarists is as good as it gets.
I really can't disagree with all of them.

If you watch the video, it was Mick Ronson himself who made the claim! Now I can't make my Les Paul & Telecaster sound the same, but clearly Mick Ronson can :xmashehe:Quote:

I always use clean amps with the Tele, and Marshall type amps for the Lester, but I am looking for contrast instead of consistent sound. I play them differently too.Quote:

I'm laughing at your prog reference.Quote:

My apologies, I thought we were still on the pick-ups :-) Yeah, people like Ronson, and bands such as T Rex, Mott the Hoople, New York Dolls & The Stooges influenced the Punk Rock generation, which brought about the demise of the 20 minute guitar solo, although some guitarists couldn't let go completely!Quote:

They are halfway between single coil and humbucker pickups. They have a higher output than single coil pickups, but note the output of humbuckers. Their tone has a bit more depth than your standard single coil, but not to the extent of humbuckers.
Prepare to be educated, mush :-)

Oh, yeah!
Remember I told you I had recently bought the Yamaha 620 Brickburstt and the 820 Rusty Rat?
Check out this comparison with yesterdays Les Pauls and make up ya own mind..

No contest in my opinion :-)
I'm gassing for a LP Junior or SG with P90s, but they are single coil pickups :wink:Quote:

Humbuckers work by pairing a coil that has the north poles of its magnets oriented "up" (toward the strings) with another coil right next to it with the south pole of its magnets oriented up. By connecting the coils together out of phase, the interference is significantly reduced via phase cancellation: the string signals from both coils add up instead of canceling, because the magnets are placed in opposite polarity. The coils can be connected in series or in parallel in order to achieve this hum-cancellation effect, although it's much more common for the coils of a humbucker pickup to be connected in series :thumbup:Quote:
