Locking nuts will never go out of style! A half dozen live with me. And honestly, they make a guitar sound a very particular way.
In case everybody doesn’t know the story, Floyd Rose was the guitar tech for a Hendrix impersonator, and quickly got sick of retuning Strats all night long.
Now we have they magical wang bar!
Never fast, technical or flashy, but Hadley could carve a tasty groove with the best em.
Strangemeadow my PM’s are still not working.
Tiribulus-
I PM’ed you and replied to an old one. Maybe one of these will work? I had no PM’s from you.

I can never help but feel extremely saddened when i think of Jason Becker…Its so hard to believe that such an incredibly talented guitarist and one of the best players of all time can no longer even pick a guitar up.
It doesnt get any better than Altitudes!
Of course a guy with the name audiogarden plays guitar…

Damn, AG… I didn’t know about Becker.

Skynett do you know a Long Island player named Anthony Bambino?[/quote]
LOL - absolutely. Used to be in a band called Spoiled Brat. Mike Varney from guitar player magazine hooked me up with him in the 80’s. His band was coming from Connecticut to live and play here in NY, so I went to the house where they were renting and jammed with him. He was also in a band called Lights and Shadows with a great singer I know (actually went to HS with this vocalist). He’s a great guitar player.
Ha - small world! : ) [/quote]If that was the house in Westbury, I trained his German Shepard to protect that upstairs apartment where all his equipment was. He had a 3 piece outfit called Conspiracy then. Yeah, he was really really good.
[/quote]
No, that must have been after that then because it was a house in Deer Park I think - and he was still in Spoiled Rotten at the time. : )[/quote]I found my old Bambino CD wit ha pic of his legs and his dog Zach in the cover. When I get a chance I’ll post a couple of awesome tracks from it. The one called “Orso” is about the most emotionally draining piece of guitar work I ever heard. Simply screams “I want to die”. You’ll have to hear it. When I told him that’s what I thought he went white. With a face that said “you could really tell huh?”. I think he wrote it about a very bad event or time in his life though I didn’t push it any further.

Ha - small world! : ) [/quote] Try this: http://gregnmary.gotdns.com/audio/orso.mp3 I cut out the last best part for brevity. this was 20 years ago. I haven’t seen him since. Like I said. That’s his legs and his dog Zach. (and the tire to my Chevy station wagon then). Which took ALOT of work to bring up. He wasn’t the hardest dog I ever trained. He did wind up at least appearing pretty formidable at the door.

Actually its kind of funny that while Soundgarden is my favorite rock band of all time, i hardly ever play any of their stuff. I can probably only remember 2 or 3 soundgarden songs at this point.
My preferred playing style is closer to Vai, Vinnie Moore, Blues Saraceno, Metallica, ETC. Some of the virtuoso stuff is beyond me but i enjoy the technical lead guitar players.
While the subject of Jason Becker is still relevant, here is the best altitudes cover i could find on youtube:
Incase you didnt know him, now you do.

He’s still making music. I only recently found out about the documentary. I knew there was a biopic in the works, but I was lead to believe he died.
Computers are helping a lot of disabled people create music. It’s going to be a tearjerker.

Yeah im aware he is still making music, the guy wasnt just an awesome guitar player, but an amazing composer too.
Gotta give him nothing but credit, he always seemed so accepting of what happened and continues to make music and push on, i honestly dont think id have the mental fortitude to live with something like that.
