Sounds good, Mario. I assume this took a lot of time, effort, and money to put together? I presume that was all you, because (unlike you -- who looks cool) your bassist couldn't be bothered to wear something better, or even learn his lyrics rather than reading them off the fucking phone.  To do that...

Run the Bogner WITH the Marshall in stereo. All will be revealed.

It's amazing how very basic Schenker's rhythm style is. Pretty much standard rock fare. Not a lot of tricky chords.

I love Bootsy Collins. He's a living muppet. This tour shows all his basses, his pedals etc.  The engineer, Tobe, is a friend of mine, and was in a project with Amy for 5 minutes.  My version of Kashmir came out of those sessions. 

I have my own style that I now recognize when I hear it throughout my recorded music.  That said, I'm still working on shit, trying to get better. What I realized is that even if/when I do improve, my style doesn't really change. I just add another crayon or two to my box. 

I remember those. Enjoy!

Bogners are voiced kind of like Oranges. Beefy in the middle. Less toppy than Marshalls. I still have a 1999 Shiva 1x12 combo in storage. I wished I'd bought the head, but I have the ATMA head (1w/5w/18w) which does all the vintage Bogner sounds. 

I hear this I can't write songs from a lot of you guys. No offense, but that's nonsense. If you've been playing guitar 30+ years, if you can jam , and especially if can play a zillion covers, the ability and musicality to write songs IS definitely within you. You maybe don't realize it because it di...

I never really used reverb as a "reverb effect." I never liked the Fender surfy or Peavey reverbs, but my old Hiwatt and Bogner combos had the good, Accutronics spring reverb. I'd add just a touch to create a little extra dimension, live. A listener would not perceive I was using reverb.  ...

I saw the 5150 tour a month later, and as good as that was, I felt Roth's band was better.     Strong words, and you are not the first person who has mentioned this to me over the years. I was too young back then (still playing with Transformer toys LOL) So I can only go from what people who lived ...
