Random thoughts on the search for guitar tone
August 4th, 2010I saw RATT last night in Oakland.
Since the untimely death of Robbin Crosby, I think that their new “co-lead” guitarist Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) is the best choice they have made to trade licks with Warren DeMartini. No offense to John Corabi or Kerri Kelli.. but Carlos seems more like a better fit for RATT.
I noticed the Soldano amps on Warren’s side of the stage and if you know a little of the history of Warren DeMartini & George Lynch, you know their history of swapping or stealing each others amps. They seem to be “soldano men” for many years.
This made me think…”has a guitarist ever found their ideal tone????”
I personally never have. I thought I found it in a Peavey 5150II that a friend owned. Sad to say, he sold the amp and I have not found one that sounded the same since.
I would say a close 2nd was when I borrowed a Boogie from Ted Agiular of Death Angel. I play in a tribute band and we had a show in L.A. All I needed to do was bring my guitar and plug in. Ted was gracious enough to let me use his rig… straight Boogie.. no pedals… no nothing… IT CRUSHED!!

Learn how to play guitar strums
April 28th, 2010Strumming the guitar in rhythm while making chords and even singing at the same time is a tough challenge when you learn how to play guitar. The secret to overcoming it is to approach the problem one step at a time. Here is a simple three step approach that will help you learn how to play guitar rhythms more easily.
1. Speak the rhythm
In this first step you should simply try to work out the rhythm in your head. Don’t try to play it, that will only distract you and lead to errors. Speak the rhythm using simple words like “down-up” to master the timing of the rhythm with no distractions from your guitar.
Some simple words you can use to get into the groove are “ta-ki” for eighth note beats or “ga-ma-la” for triplet time.
2. Play rhythm with no chord
The next step once you’ve worked out what the rhythm pattern should sound and feel like is to transfer it to your guitar. Again, avoid distractions and allow yourself to focus only on your strumming by playing no chord.
Lightly rest your fretting hand across the strings to muffle them as you strum. You’ll only get a percussive scratching sound which is great for hearing the rhythm pattern.
3. Put the rhythm and chords together
Finally, put your strum pattern together with the song’s chords. It’s important at this step to keep your strum pattern going as you change chords. It doesn’t matter too much if you strum in the middle of some chord changes, but whatever you do don’t pause in your strumming.
Use these three steps to help you learn how to play guitar rhythms that challenge your coordination skills. Break things down and work on one problem at a time and you will learn faster and more easily.

Surviving guitar lessons for beginners
November 24th, 2009When you begin guitar lessons for beginners you are probably all fired up by a vision of the great guitarists that inspired you. You want to play like they do, rock out and play fast and loud.
But the reality of guitar lessons for beginners is far removed from the kind of playing that inspired you to take up the instrument. Your early guitar lessons involve seemingly simple, even trivial, exercises that seem far removed from your guitar heroes playing. You might easily wonder why you ever wanted to play as you struggle with muffled sounds and false notes that are common at this stage of learning.
Many learners don’t survive this stage, they become too frustrated with the slow progress and difficulty of the task. They question their ability and easily conclude that they have no talent. And then they give up.
If you don’t want to become one of these victims keep in mind that your heroes went through this stage too. Failure is a part of the learning process, and if you plan to become a great guitarist you had better get used to it. Your heroes surely failed many times to get where they are today, and they know that continuing to fail is essential to growing and getting better today.
So take heart from your failures as you practice your guitar lessons for beginners. You already have one thing in common with your guitar heroes…
