Also, the La Cabronita body has arrived.

This will get a Warmoth reverse headstock tele neck, gold hardware, and a pair of TV Jones pickups

bored in the house by myself tonight so taught myself to play Blackbird by the Beatles. Beautiful tune and very satisfying to play. Hereā€™s the tab if anyoneā€™s interested

I sing and play guitar for me, my band, and mostly a 7-string guitar in Drop A! :slight_smile:

Here is a video of the lead I used in a song entitled ā€œBeyond Eternityā€™s Shoreā€ which is also the albums name. Enjoy the video and listen to the song here: Thanks!

Love the melody. Sounds great. I will have to check your band out.

Steely is puttin that fat wide fretboard on a Telecaster body? The only Tele I ever held had a really narrow bottleneck convex fretboard. I couldnā€™t play the thing at all. Way too small for my hands. Forgive the interruption but itā€™s time for a bit more of this guy who only players will really appreciate. Iā€™m outta words.

Gold hardware is in.

Tirib-- that tele will get a maple/maple neck with big ass jumbo frets and a 10-16" compound radius. A thick as tree trunk neck.

You probably played something with a vintage 7.25" radius. Not much different than playing a broomstick :wink:

I just got back on this thread after a few years, Iā€™m glad to see it still going!

Unfinished demo of a new instrumental track Iā€™m calling Sanctified.

Need to add some more harmonies to the main verse sections and add another solo at 2:58 - just rhythm tracks during that part right now. Main lead break is at 1:42.

Good stuff. Sounds very professional.

Am I the only one who hears Crazy Train?

Lol - no, that main riff in F# minor is inspired by CT. And that opening trill up the neck at the start of the main solo break is right out of Mr. Crowley - but in a different key and position. What can I say - RR is one of my biggest influencesā€¦ ; )

Thanks Rampant!! : )

Nothing bad about RR being an influence! He really helped solidify classical influence on rock. Iā€™m thankful for that.

I saw Guthrie Govan 3 times out here in LA! What a privilege! I just saw Meshuggah and Animals as Leaders too, Tosin Abasi is nuts! It was great!

Jaysus! I used a smaller peice of wood to pry up my front porch made of concrete lol.

When you have a neck that fat what kind of sound are you tying to get out of it? Is it more of a heavy rythym guitar for rock or metal?

Not sure if you folks in the US get this program but Iā€™ve watched a few episode here and really enjoy them. Hereā€™s a link.

The thickness of the neck has more to do with feel and sustain than the ā€˜soundā€™. I donā€™t like super thin necks, so thicker feels/plays better. I believe a big hunk of wood for a neck helps to improve sustain (given other factors like nut/bridge/pickups). Thatā€™s a great point of debate (like fat vs full house lol).

I just got back from 2 weeks in Toronto, so Iā€™m going to try to get the hardware put on that neck this weekend. I been thinking about it the whole time!
