From my perspective, this is great for teaching as its so convenient to use and sound really good at through the speaker, but much prefer my standard material guitars to play because they feel so good. This guitar feels smooth and is easy to play but will not respond in the same way as a stand construction guitar. The speaker would not be loud enough for small gigs, that is really for general practice and maybe in a small room with a few mates. Using headphones it can sound a tad fizzy for that reason I wouldn't use direct to PA either. I use it daily though for general practice in the house and I so pleased to have one. For you I would recommend looking at the standard guitar setup with a good Amp IR rig to start.

@@DannyPage So what about a Jackson js11 dk and a decent effects processor?

Awesome, thank you!

Let me look at that now. Should be there so not sure what is going on with that. Hold on a mo and I will report back.

Sorted. Was there but not live. Thanks for the heads up

@@DannyPage Thanks, you're the best!

No not really. I will do though. Any particular album to listen to first?

@@DannyPage Yes albums of roy's when a guitar plays the blues,hotwires, live stock,live in texas youtube has quite abit of stuff on roy you can listen to roy's bluz the video to start off with there is also a 4 part documentry on roy on youtube and alot of 70' and 80's stuff sadly he died of suicide in 1988.

Great to hear! Thanks for this comment. Good feedback always welcome.

Get ya Hendrix overload. 👍🏼

@DannyPage Will do !!! 😁👍🏻

Thanks Jim..

SRV styled is on the cards yep. Frusciante I have made a video on his licks not that long ago here is the link Five John Frusciante Licks RHCP - Guitar Lick Special Week 409 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2ZepKPpp10hck

Mother Farquhar! I like that. Thanks for the comment.

Cool. I had the mid switch off on the plexi drive. The moxie is excellent and I wasn’t expecting to have that one as the plexi was the pedal I needed. Left me with a dilemma, so now I have both on the board and use the Belle overdrive like a tube screamer boost.

It’s a Marshall Mercury from the 1970’s. I think it was their budget amp of that time. Hybrid valve amp. Mine needs a new transformer as this one went pop!! Great sounding amp with the perfect 70’s tone.

@@sebastienboucher6347 no worries.

@@cbcacbca cheers man. Hendrix influence in us all I guess.

It took me a while to get into Hendrix. When I started playing I was influenced by bands like Metallica, Bonjovi, guns n roses Joe satriani etc where the playing was produced and technical. I heard a live version of purple haze (I think it was) and it was out of tune, and because of that I didn’t relate to it. I wish I had listened to a studio song first as I would not have lost years of Hendrix influence. Such a great player in many many ways. You now have a great weekend of listening ahead of you….have fun.

Try learning the lead break from Wind Cries Mary and you'll see it's not difficult but it's an amazing guitar break. Hendrix thought and played outside the box.

​​⁠ Great solo! We had to learn that one at the guitar institute in Acton London as part of a live performance workshop. Great song.

I still think that way: "love Jimi, but not for my lever of guitar playing"

@alecfraser1928 , although Hendrix used the pentatonic scale, like most rock guitarists of that time, I've never thought of him as a blues guitarist. To me, he went right outside the blues box and created very much his own style of lead and rhythm playing. If you learn the break from The Wind Cries Mary, you'll see what i mean.

Hi, I’m not sure I understand the question to honest. Places, or faces? Or boxes? Either way, working with boxes is a great way to unlock the fretboard and allows you to use the whole fretboard as a soloing playground. However, when soloing I now don’t really think of the boxes as experience with jamming and soloing has created pathways through each box. Hope that answers the question even if just a little. If not please elaborate further..

Hi, thanks for watching the video. The backing track is one of my Patreon jam track which you can find here if you would like to take a look www.patreon.com/posts/112879780

Which pedal do you want in the video?

@@DannyPage Hi Danny, why not make 2 Videos? The Licks are different and so it would be cool to practice with both! Thanks for your work! Uwe

Excellent play is Scott. Very melody and dent over play...Cool

No probs…have fun.

Cheers mate…use well.

Awesome, thank you! Glad you like the licks.

Rock on!

Thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

Oooh...some good ole Thin Lizzy. That is actually a great catalyst for a series of licks. Dancing In The Moonlight is a cracking solo (among so many other)

@ can’t go wrong with Lizzy.

Pick up a guitar fool

Practice, practice, practice. Study scales and work on counting bars. Takes a long time ⌛️

Milk it and variate it. It the Blues code of conduct…I think!

@DannyPage I totally agree !!! It has changed my way of playing 10 fold ! I used to pick up my axe and run scales ect,,,, and be board in no time,,,now I practice just like this riff ! TY Dan ! You rock mate ! 😁👍🏻🎸🎶💕
