Hello RWTD Friends, The presets are indeed "tardy" as in "I don't feel tardy" because of a long list of things related to getting a studio space operational. Supply chain issues aside, the studio set up will allow me to do......Read more

The newer Tortex picks are cool. They help when it comes to pinch harmonics. But, when it comes to playing rhythm parts, you have to REALLY hit the strings harder to get those dynamics. I have been using Steve Vai's picks......Read more

Following up on some of the comments here, it's no surprise that VH 3 was different and surprising to so many. But, over time, as I was a fan of it when it first came out, there are so many experiences to draw from that it......Read more

Hi,   I agree VHIII doesn't come close to the rest of VH discography. Christopher L mentioned this downfall maybe a result from the lack of leadership and that's a valid hypothesis. In my opinion I think Eddie tried to lead......Read more

Hi Matt, This album has always been a challenge for Van Halen fans. No matter how the album is approached there are some obstacles to overcome. The music is not as familiar to many fans and for that reason I decided to shift......Read more

Got a chance to listen to both episodes on the plane.  The Balance one is great and Andy Wood is an absolute monster player with an infectious energy for this period of EVH. Not only does he nail the tone but also the......Read more

David McCain posted a comment on the blog post How does Frank Zappa get that creamy overdriven electric guitar sound on his Freak Out! album?

If I remember correctly, he overdrove the console to get that " square wave " distorted tone ( he plugged his guitar into the recording console and turned the gain all the way up ). Depending on what gear he used and where he......Read more
