After playing guitar off and on for 40 years on humbuckers only, I just finally bought my first strat-type guitar ever. I now realize that I've badly missed out on a fundamental electric guitar tone for all this time. It's really a very different tonality. The percussiveness is what makes it so distinct.
Smoke on the water is a weird song in that, it is underrated because it is overrated. It's such a great song but people overlook it because it's one of those cliche beginner riffs. Cool story, cool drums, cool guitar playing.
fun fact lil wayne actually taughy jimi how to play the guitar when they were both 7, they grew up together . lil waynes lollipop was a tribute to his friend jimi who passed. those 4 notes over and over are so masterful
+Nicholas Friesen I've not missed anyone : there will be a 2nd episode as soon as I'll have time from uni. There's Clapton, SRV, Gilmour, Johnson, Frusciante and many others I've not includer here. I jope you enjoyed this video. Cheers :)
CTCornCob Hi man! Yes I didn't understood perfectly. I'm Italian, so my english can fail sometimes :D Anyway, thank you...and I think Surf green is a gorgeus color too!
100% Strat newb here. Moving from a acoustic guitar a friend recommenced a Strat. I bought a MIM Player in fact the exact same guitar green guitar thats playing. I am struggling with how unpure or unclear the notes sound as you go up the neck. No matter how I hold the string down light or hard the notes sound buzzing or not clear. From about the 13th fret up. Guitar has been set up correctly by a guitar shop its in tune stays in tune I installed locking tuners. Maybe Im expecting too much clear tone out of this guitar across the entire neck. Or maybe the strings are to low. Sounds good on lower frets. Friend recommended a fuzz box.
Nice playing, Lorenzo. I dig your bedroom/rehearsal/recording space too. For a young fella like yourself that 's cool enough to be going on with. When I was your age it was the 1980's and we were pretty much straight into a jcm800 with a bit of chorus/reverb/delay and that was that. We'd get the band over to my house and jam/rehearse in the backyard - seriously. That was Australia in the '80s. You have yourself a good time in Italy in the 21C. Good video, Lorenzo !! Keep 'em coming.
Good stuff there. I've always been partial to Gibson type guitars, but nothing sounds and plays like a maple neck Strat. I finally bought one and installed a set of Eric Johnson signature pickups and an Emerson tone blender. I still play the others a lot, but the Strat has become a regular in my rotation.
Great stuff Lorenzo!!! I was hoping to see some David Gilmour in there, but the renditions you did were fantastic. Now take what you have learned from these masters and find your own voice.
+Del Hudson Thank you so much Del! I know I know that I should have played Gilmoure...but I've decide to pickup guitarist with VERY different style (and in my opinion Gilmoure and Hendrix have some points in common). Yes, I definitely have to put this styles in my playing :D see you when I'm back from holidays! :)
Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite, but I was really surprised I thought no 1 would be David Gilmore or Stevie Ray. But still, great choice. I would have said the same!
Amazin Job Lorenzo!! nice solos and such a legendary Guitar, please tellme the model of the camara you are using... I want to take it as a reference for my videos, I would thank u a lot... cheers my friend!! 🍻
Thanks Alex for comment :) I knew that particular but the previous owner of this Strat put a Quarter Pound on the bridge and did not suite perfectly with Knopfler tone :( The most similar tone I could have was the Neck/middle one
Alex, I have a strat with fifties PUs and when I play along with Sultans I can get closer with position 4 than 2 and of course being a strat you can still get it crazy bright there if you want to.
Pedro Morales "As for the actual solo, it was just more or less what I played every night. It’s just a Fender Twin and the Strat, with its three-way selector switch jammed into a middle position. That gives the song its sound, and I think there were quite a few five-way switches installed as a result of that song.” from a guitar world interview
It's so fucking stupid when people say someone's playing has no soul. It's just a way for snobby, douchey "guitarists" to feel better about themselves.
Ah, no. I've been playing for 26 years and play in two bands. I just don't make videos. And I never had the patience to sit down and learn this Yngwie stuff though I do appreciate it and like it. But, the guy in the video just covered it badly. There's nothing wrong with saying that.
Very nice video and playing Lorenzo, also good choice of Strat players. If I would have to pick 5, I would probably choose Hendrix, Blackmore, Gilmour, Beck and Knopfler ... so we have a triple match :D ... keep'em coming .. greetz from Brazil to Italy!
Thank you dude! I'm happy we have correspondences, it means that I wasn't totally wrong on picking up 5 guitarists :) As I said, I've tried to choose guitarist with a really different style of playing, and (for example) Malmsteen is unique. Cheers from Italy! :D
Welcome, by the way I think there is no right or wrong, its mainly a matter of taste. Only Hendrix for me was a real game changer, he was the needed link from Blues to Rock. 90% of all the rock guitarist are kind of based on his playing.
Yeah. You're right. Hendrix completely changed electric guitars view of playing...He introduce the wild playing right ;) ? A lot of guitarist are inspired by him
I love the sound of the Strat. I was wondering what you think would be the best starter? I'm not trying to do the cheapest and pay no money for crapy quality. But I would like to not spend a crazy amount of money.
Hi Joseph! Yes, definitely the most versatile guitar I've ever had. Mine first guitar was a Squier Affinity. You could buy a Mexico version if you don't wanna spend a lot of money. I've heard they're great too. I'd recommend you to buy a HSS configuration first because you can do rock, metal, blues and a lot of other genres with the humbucker
Thats an awesome tone brah. I'm planning to get a Strat in the near future too and this is tempting me haha Really nice playing and Rising Force was killer
+guitarist6494 Thank you man! Please, feel free to judge me about that tones. I would like to get the better, so if you have any advice... Hahahah Stratos are awesome! You definitely need one :) Thank you so much, I've practicise it a lot
Great video... Well done. But there is the old thing with Smoke on the Water... Don't forget the thumb playing a bass note during the riff. Try it and you'll get a much richer sound. For general Blackmore playing you mostly have to upstroke the riffs. Once again... Great video.
Hi Tom! Thank you so much :) I've recorded this video in a very small room (my studio), so I wasn't able to record real amps. I've used a software , Peavey Revalver (and capture my guitar with a Focusrite soundcard). I've used a simulation of a Marshall Bluesbraker + Soft Ts9 Distortion. Low at 6, mid at 8 and treble at 8 Presence at 9/10. The tone knob of guitar a little bit down Cheers! :)
Thanks so much Javier! I appreciate it :D Ah, I don't know...but I'm pretty sure that making happy all the people is very difficult. I just don't care...
+Air Dealer yeah I'd forgot to mention hendrix and all the others as well-your vibrato is cool and nice but you should know already I think you're very talented so if you got any left in that bottles of jagermeister cheers 🍷lol
Thanks! I've tried lately to work on it :) Hahahahahahahaa that's my 18 years birthday Jagermeister bottle, and there's still some of it in. I usually don't drink....at home haha :)
Man, you've not to worry about me. I'm only 19 but not stupid :) I prefer save money for guitars and stuff. I only drink in very important party/event (New Year, Birth). Not every month
Hi Grahem. Many people think I've forgot Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gilmour, Johnson, Frusciante and others. But I've already said that there will be an episode #2 and no guitarists have been missed. Thank you again dude for compliments, cheers! :)
Steve Vai plays an Ibanez JEM. Not a Strat. Him having a penchant to play his classics to play on a 24 fretter, makes it simply impossible to play most of his songs. Still, good job on the video man!
I want to get back into playing, I just cannot decide Strat or Tele? I never use the tremolo, and I like the 2 and 4 positions of the strat, but I like the clarity and twang/punch of the tele. Also, I play with my fingers 90%, and love the way the tele sounds when you play it...but again, no 2 and 4 position....that's what makes the strat so awesome. HELP!!!!! I'll probably get a Fender Standard (mexican made) or maybe save $ to get an American version? Are the pickups THAT much better in an American Standard? I'm leaning towards the tele. Look up "Roy Buchanan The Messiah Will Come Again" AMAZING tele sound!!!!
Air Dealer aggh thanks again pal. your skill is top notch, btw, and your strat is beautiful. I have a brad Paisley telecaster, but my next guitar will DEFINITELY be a strat. thanks again. :]
What shade is this ... Is not seafoam green nor surf green (or maybe the ones I have seen lately are painted slightly different) this one looks so lit 🔥🤤😍
Probably because most guys watching this are not gay and most girls that are watching have the stereotype in their heads that guys with long hair are not cool and they should have it short lol
Very well done! Terry Kath? David Gilmore? Dave Murray? If you're not familiar with Terry Kath, check out South California Purples (before you check out 25 or 6 to 4). Rock on!
Amazing player talent and just when I was getting despondent about my recording space you gave me some ideas showing me your back screen and limited space, thank you dude!
+dozerblade Hi dude! It's a Fender American Special :) I've used peavey revalver as software and captured by guitar with a focusrite scarlett 6I6. Cheers :)
What about 5 Rock songs into Jazz?
Link here : th-cam.com/video/Hvjew9EJwZI/w-d-xo.html
Hey can u make a list of the songs u just played??
Hey man what pedals do you use for vultures by john mayer ?
The 1• one , it really sounds like rory Gallagher Style .......
Where’s Stevie Ray Vaughan? RIP SRV
What model strat are you playing?
It's been 3 years, hope you finally peeled off that sticker on the guard. You sounded good, glad I checked it out. Keep on jammin!
I think it doesnt matter
I think it does
@@fandreileonard it does. You get a more buttery smooth tone without the sticker

Smoke on the water is a weird song in that, it is underrated because it is overrated. It's such a great song but people overlook it because it's one of those cliche beginner riffs. Cool story, cool drums, cool guitar playing.
Unpopular opinion: highway star it's better
Ein Walroß I think highway star is underrated
Killer solo i might ad
The story behind smoke on the water is really cool. But yes, people overlook it.
It’s underrated because it is overplayed. Much like songs like teen spirit
I'm confused, is this 5 ways to play a stratocaster or 5 covers in a stratocaster?
AwpitheAwper I thought the same thing
It’s because each artist has a different style and he’s showing that you can play each style on the Stratocaster.
AwpitheAwper both
I thought the vid was gonna be full of techniques and ways to play a strat hahaha
5 styles on a Strat. I thought the various camera shots showed plenty of techniques. Not for beginners, though.
You forget Lil Wayne style
Hahahahahah I can't play like him, he's too much skilled. Do I have to learn his style in Steve T lessons? :D
:D
I guess nobody can teach how to play like the Master
Air Dealer even Yngwie is nothing with him 😂😂😂
fun fact lil wayne actually taughy jimi how to play the guitar when they were both 7, they grew up together .
lil waynes lollipop was a tribute to his friend jimi who passed.
those 4 notes over and over are so masterful
Devon Couch Lil Wayne born 1982; Jimi Hendrix died 1970
Where's Clapton and SRV?
+Nicholas Friesen I've not missed anyone : there will be a 2nd episode as soon as I'll have time from uni. There's Clapton, SRV, Gilmour, Johnson, Frusciante and many others I've not includer here. I jope you enjoyed this video. Cheers :)
Air Dealer yay! Haha
Nicholas Friesen as well as Buddy Merrill or Neil Levang?
And Hank Marvin, too!!!
Yngwie
Mark Knopfler is my favorite guitarist, and I love you put him in this list.
Mark Knopfler one of my favourite players ever. Some of his stuff are pure masterpieces. Underrated legend
Can't beat a surf green strat
bluehazeboy Man, I think I've not understood. I've checked my certification and also google. Surf green strats exist (american special)
Air Dealer same as mine
Aaaah ok :D So, I'm sure I did not understood. That's great! Do you like it?
Air Dealer assuming you didn't really understand his comment, what he tried to say is that the surf green Strat is the best
CTCornCob Hi man! Yes I didn't understood perfectly. I'm Italian, so my english can fail sometimes :D Anyway, thank you...and I think Surf green is a gorgeus color too!
100% Strat newb here. Moving from a acoustic guitar a friend recommenced a Strat. I bought a MIM Player in fact the exact same guitar green guitar thats playing.

Sounds good on lower frets. Friend recommended a fuzz box.
maybe your action is too low? i think that might cause some buzz
Great demonstration on what a Strat is capable of sounding like. Nice playing.
Thanks James :)
You all need to chill.
This is a great video.
David Gilmore !!!!!!!!!!

Nice playing, Lorenzo. I dig your bedroom/rehearsal/recording space too. For a young fella like yourself that 's cool enough to be going on with.

Keep 'em coming.
I love my Strat but I just got a G & L Bluesboy and it plays much easier and better all over the neck including the hardest to reach bridge area.
You play with a lot of feeling and heart. It really is something special to hear you play. Keep it up, join a band. You may become famous
Thank you Marc! I'm definitely trying to get a name ;)
Good stuff there. I've always been partial to Gibson type guitars, but nothing sounds and plays like a maple neck Strat. I finally bought one and installed a set of Eric Johnson signature pickups and an Emerson tone blender. I still play the others a lot, but the Strat has become a regular in my rotation.
Rosewood on a strat plays very nice as well
Ah, that color!!! Love it.
nailed Sultans of Swing...my favorite song...love anything played by Mark Knopfler
Blackmore plays the "Smoke on the Water" riff with his thumb and middle finger on the right hand, so the strings are strung simultaniously
John Frusciante?
Sune Pedersen I'm just picking up advices,names for the #2 episode ;) Don't worry. I'll try to make everyone happy (I hope haha)
Yes, I'll try to play SRV (not good as him).
I used to play (and personally love) pride and joy :)
More advices I receive, more epic the video will be
Air Dealer Do David Gilmoure, aswell then!
For sure man! I can't wait to record "Time" solo.
Killer song (and amazing player)
Favorite record! Maybe we could collaborate. I'll put something online and tag you.
This strat sounds delicious!!!
I want it!
Its capsules are really amazing.
Which are?
Great stuff Lorenzo!!! I was hoping to see some David Gilmour in there, but the renditions you did were fantastic. Now take what you have learned from these masters and find your own voice.

Video #2.. Gilmour....Buddy Guy..... Steve Winwood....John Fruscante..... Buddy Holly. All different styles.. The ball is in your court!!!! Lorezo!!!
Your guitar sound is directly coming from heaven ❤️
Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite, but I was really surprised I thought no 1 would be David Gilmore or Stevie Ray. But still, great choice. I would have said the same!
It would be nice to get a gear breakdown. What amp (or amps) and pedals are you using for each? What's the story on your pickups?
John Mayer, you made My day
Hahaha :D What an honour!
Oyodoz You're welcome
Stratocaster is wonderful since 1955 and makes history. Teles, Les Pauls and Stratocasters. Great video. Tks
I played on a fender for the first time, goodness the fretboard feels good to play on
Yes! Whatever you're playing (maple, rosewood) their necks are splendid to play on!
Amazin Job Lorenzo!! nice solos and such a legendary Guitar, please tellme the model of the camara you are using... I want to take it as a reference for my videos, I would thank u a lot... cheers my friend!! 🍻
I could watch this for hours.
That strat is so beautiful I can't even explain
Mark Knopfler used the combination of bridge pickup and middle pickup, not neck and middle pickups.
Thanks Alex for comment :) I knew that particular but the previous owner of this Strat put a Quarter Pound on the bridge and did not suite perfectly with Knopfler tone :( The most similar tone I could have was the Neck/middle one
Alex, I have a strat with fifties PUs and when I play along with Sultans I can get closer with position 4 than 2 and of course being a strat you can still get it crazy bright there if you want to.
In fact Sultans of Swing was recorded mainly with Konpfler's Schecter in the middle pickup position
Pedro Morales it was recorded in 1977 he didn't have the schecter until 1980....he used a strat
Pedro Morales "As for the actual solo, it was just more or less what I played every night. It’s just a Fender Twin and the Strat, with its three-way selector switch jammed into a middle position. That gives the song its sound, and I think there were quite a few five-way switches installed as a result of that song.” from a guitar world interview
I had to click on this video because I have the same model guitar as is pictured. Surf green strat. Love it!
For anyone who thinks Yngwie's playing has no soul, well... listen to the way this guy plays it, then listen to the real thing.
DaemoniumCC Yngwie is what happens when god decides to take on a mortal form that won't completely obliterate humans on sight and fails.
It's so fucking stupid when people say someone's playing has no soul. It's just a way for snobby, douchey "guitarists" to feel better about themselves.
No really, this is slow, sloppy, and just devoid of any emotion.
@DaemoniumCC
I'm not really sure if you're joking or proving my point...
Ah, no. I've been playing for 26 years and play in two bands. I just don't make videos. And I never had the patience to sit down and learn this Yngwie stuff though I do appreciate it and like it. But, the guy in the video just covered it badly. There's nothing wrong with saying that.
dude, i love your stratocaster!!!!
David Gilmour?
omg so it EXISTS !! that's precisely the strat i want, surf green, mapple neck with gloss and 70s headstock :O
Very nice video and playing Lorenzo, also good choice of Strat players. If I would have to pick 5, I would probably choose Hendrix, Blackmore, Gilmour, Beck and Knopfler ... so we have a triple match :D ... keep'em coming .. greetz from Brazil to Italy!

Thank you so much, I've practicise it a lot
Guitarist6494 my favorite musical memory is when I finally got my Stratocaster. Go for it!
@@AirDealerGuitar how did you get these tones?
God, that's a beautiful strat. Not to mention the Jimi Hendrix music is just wonderful.
I was hoping to see John Frusciante, but otherwise a good video!
Thank you! I'll play some of his creations on the episode #2 ;)
Bruh as much as I like John, most of the time he plagiarized Jimi Hendrix
Though his funky riff on Mother Milk and BSSM was pretty iconic
Good stuff. Looked for a strat video and I got one. Thanks!
Gotta love how he doesn’t actually player sultans of swing like knopfler
When I read the description I couldn’t believe he decided to include Jeef Beck! Such an underrated guitarist! Love ya Jeef!!!
James Rafferty Hi Jaames! It's Jeff, not Jeef! Hahahaa thanks dude, I didn't see it
Air Dealer Awesome video man! Just razzing you!
knopfler's my favourite
dire fucking suck
You obviously don't appreciate good guitar playing, mark is a god.
Smudgell fuckin A, man
what's the name of the song?
sultans of swing
Great video... Well done. But there is the old thing with Smoke on the Water... Don't forget the thumb playing a bass note during the riff. Try it and you'll get a much richer sound. For general Blackmore playing you mostly have to upstroke the riffs. Once again... Great video.
I'm missing Mark Knopfler's style. Unique, recognizable from the first seconds and sound
Great that you included the legend Ritchie Blackmore in this list
+Nathan Lam My pleasure! Glad you liked it
Oh man, to play sultans of swing you got to put the middle/bridge pickups, great playing though
Actually, it's played with the middle pu only
Very Cool Playing . Robin Trower from the mid 1970’s is nice also . Thanks Dude .
Alla grande, molto bravo, complimenti! Hai anche una bella strato, proprio un bel colore! Complimenti!
Don't let the negativity of some comments get you down, anytime I can find 5 minutes of great playing on YT it's a revelation.
You rock brother. (Geez I frickin' hate you!) Beautiful Strat too.Keep playing. The world is yours
Thank you so much Jason! Don't worry...I've still have a lot to work on. My playing isn't perfect :D
Rock on
I love your humility! And so will all other great musicians. Keep on rockin Lorenzo!
Very cool bro!! But i have a question,how do you record your videos??
You missed David Gilmour he should have been at least 1 or 2
Don't worry this is not a ranking, and it will be a #2 episode too. Anyone missed ;)
Gilmour is too slow unless you are inhibited by cannabis, which I find most PF fans are.
ChristineDe1 dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Very nice playing, do you have the full track of Jimi Hendrix? thank you.
That's it i made my desition. Ima get a tele.
*sees this video*
nevermind i want a stratocaster
edit: i went with a tele.
Got a tele now I want a strat
Your end up with a collection trust me
Tele is better in my opinion, but opinions are subjective
I'm a big fan of the Quarter Pound strat pickup in your bridge.
Thanks! :D
Hi Lorenzo,
great playing. Can you tell me what effects and what amplifiers you used to get the Ritchie Blackmore sound?
take care, Thomas
Hi Tom!
Thank you so much :) I've recorded this video in a very small room (my studio), so I wasn't able to record real amps. I've used a software , Peavey Revalver (and capture my guitar with a Focusrite soundcard). I've used a simulation of a Marshall Bluesbraker + Soft Ts9 Distortion. Low at 6, mid at 8 and treble at 8 Presence at 9/10. The tone knob of guitar a little bit down
Cheers! :)
Ah, and a Hall Reverb on it
thank you very much for the information, Lorenzo.
Bravo Ragazzo, vai avanti così! Sei portato non c'è dubbio ;)
Grazie mille Daniele! Le tue parole mi fanno forza!
:D
Grazie de che? :) ;)
Great video, thanks for publishing it. Don't know why most of the people criticise instead of enjoying
Thanks so much Javier! I appreciate it :D
Ah, I don't know...but I'm pretty sure that making happy all the people is very difficult. I just don't care...
Hey mr rising force- the yngwie part was just great.sorry but you forgot Uli Jon roth lol cheers
Hi Ben! :D Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it.
I was also satisfied about the Hendrix part...what do you think?
Damn, you're right :(
+Air Dealer yeah I'd forgot to mention hendrix and all the others as well-your vibrato is cool and nice but you should know already I think you're very talented so if you got any left in that bottles of jagermeister cheers 🍷lol
Thanks! I've tried lately to work on it :)
Hahahahahahahaa that's my 18 years birthday Jagermeister bottle, and there's still some of it in. I usually don't drink....at home haha :)
+Air Dealer no lorenzo don't start drinking sorry lol
Man, you've not to worry about me. I'm only 19 but not stupid :) I prefer save money for guitars and stuff. I only drink in very important party/event (New Year, Birth). Not every month
Excellent fret dexterity, timing and multi-sound covers. Much appreciated...
+Robert Krawczak Thank you so much Robert! I'm flattered

I am impressed at the way you captured all those sounds of the different celebrity Strat players...excellent, I wish I was able to do it.

Hi Grahem. Many people think I've forgot Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gilmour, Johnson, Frusciante and others. But I've already said that there will be an episode #2 and no guitarists have been missed.

Steve Vai plays an Ibanez JEM. Not a Strat. Him having a penchant to play his classics to play on a 24 fretter, makes it simply impossible to play most of his songs. Still, good job on the video man!
Actually, I know :D I like Steve Vai, but I've not played any Steve Vai's solo here hahaha :D
Thanks for compliments ;)
+Pramshu Peri I think he meant to say Stevie Ray Vaughan who did play a strat.
whats to dislike? the aproach to some songs, really different from the original guitar players
I have always played fender strats ...
by far the most awesome guitar ever existed !
No doubts : they're AMAZING guitar!
You can almost play with any tone you want to.
Cheers
Italiaaaa, ciao lore, quanto ci hai messo per imparare così bene a suonare la chitarra? Il mio fav è Hendrix ❤️
Ciao! Un paio di anni e mezzo! :D
I want to get back into playing, I just cannot decide Strat or Tele? I never use the tremolo, and I like the 2 and 4 positions of the strat, but I like the clarity and twang/punch of the tele. Also, I play with my fingers 90%, and love the way the tele sounds when you play it...but again, no 2 and 4 position....that's what makes the strat so awesome. HELP!!!!! I'll probably get a Fender Standard (mexican made) or maybe save $ to get an American version? Are the pickups THAT much better in an American Standard? I'm leaning towards the tele. Look up "Roy Buchanan The Messiah Will Come Again" AMAZING tele sound!!!!

Yeah, well, it doesn't have David Gilmour in it, so...
He just wants to show he's guitar, skills and wifebeater

should use some compression, the highs really hurt my ears
Oh you have SD QP in the bridge? It helps a lot on most maple neck strats, because the stock ones are usual too shirill.
Very well done!
Terry Kath? David Gilmore? Dave Murray?
If you're not familiar with Terry Kath, check out South California Purples (before you check out 25 or 6 to 4).
Rock on!
what about Tom Delonge? :D
I'm picking advice for you guys for the #2 episode ;)
Thanks
Fiorlin Billie Joe Armstrong as well
Edgardo Hernandez lmao even the strat in the video is the famous blue color
Fiorlin the creep out of blink 182, that plays power chords? 😂
Neither Tom Delonge or Billie joe are one of the great strat players. All they do is play power chords.
Nicely Done! Yep, that IS a nice Strat!!! :) And nicely played!
Thanks Steven :)
Realy love your strat
Thank you dude! :D
Awesome playing. Is that an American Special Strat?
my dream guitar
the tone sounds really good. whats your setup?
Great video mate! Kudos!!!
Love the neck pickups on that thing. What pickups? Also what effects did you use for watchtower?
TupolevPilot Hi! I've used a Texas Special and a simple Ts9 pedal with an Hall Reverb! both effects come from Peavey Revalver 4 :)
Air Dealer damn. I have texas specials with boss blues and hall reverb with a bass amp. It sounds nothing like you
+TupolevPilot I've used a BluesBraker as amps. Always simulated amp because my room is too small for recordings valve amps
sounding good bro...keep it up...what happened to Blackmores' last 5 note pinch on Smoke on the Water?
Thought he was gonna troll and play on each pickup position honestly. Great playing!
Amazing player talent and just when I was getting despondent about my recording space you gave me some ideas showing me your back screen and limited space, thank you dude!
5 ways to play standard stratocaster songs without mojo. Well done, dude.
what model guitar is that? it sounds fantastic what amp are you going through.
Cheers
+dozerblade Hi dude! It's a Fender American Special :) I've used peavey revalver as software and captured by guitar with a focusrite scarlett 6I6. Cheers :)
Thanks for the info, I'm really disapointed to find that this model and colour has been discontinued, Arrrrgh !
+dozerblade yeah! I was lucky finding one! But you can search on used-guitar sites ;)
Man, you did good! I enjoyed your playing a bunch! 💚✨✨
Srv and jimi will always be the best ever and they both played strats!
