I’ll take a lot of McCartney’s solo work over much of The Kinks’ work. I love The Kinks, but most of their albums after their golden 60s era are terrible! I don’t care that they survived, they still came out with true *shit* like the 70s vaudevillian concept albums and bad-sounding cheesy 80s crap, just some real bad stuff in their catalog. Granted Paul’s done some bad music too, but The Beatles were nothing but good throughout their whole career and they broke up at the right moment and never got bad. They burned out and didn’t fade away, and that is infinitely more valuable to me personally! :3

I was taking a walk on my lunch hour in the Village when I found out Ray Davies was at Tower Records signing cds of, "To The Bone". I saw the line wasn't long, intended to buy it anyway, so I got on the line. Ray was sitting at a table dutifully if dourly signing whatever was offered. I don't remember anyone with him. When it came to be my turn I asked him to make it out, "To Dan a fan" He did as instructed adding his name and I told him I made some really good friends through his music. His reaction was exactly what I expected ,a working man doing his job, fulfilling his lot in life. Now I have it in writing Ray Davies is a fan of Dan. Love the Kinks. There's so much it always seems fresh. Love the Beatles but the Kinks are always new, timeless.

The Kinks are a great band and Ray Davies is a superb songwriter but as great as the Kinks are, they are not as important as the Beatles. The Kinks were certainly ahead of the Beatles as far as loud guitar distortion but calling the Kinks music more sophisticated than the Beatles is silly. The Kinks music has nothing to do with prog, and production wise, their music never reached the levels of Revolver, much less Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour & Abbey Road. A great point is made that Ray Davies songwriting was incredibly multi-faceted and the way Ray humanized the characters in his songs is completely unique in popular music. The Kinks may well be ahead of the Stones & the Who as one of the greatest bands in Rock history. The Kinks are number two, the Beatles will always be number one! God save both the Kinks and the Beatles!

My issue is the body of the guitar itself has slightly bowed but only the high E string is affected. At first, I thought it was only the nineteenth fret because the fret rocker showed it to be high, but when I leveled it even with the 18th and 20th fret, the 18th fret is now the issue. The neck does show a slight ski jump from where the neck joins the body but it's only affecting the 16th fret and maybe the 17th fret and as it is so slight a jump, and only the high E, I have to be careful and lower the frets one at a time and only the end as the B string doesn't have an issue. The low E also had an issue but that was because the 19th fret was high at the edge. The A string is fine, no buzz or anything so that was a simple case of just bringing the 19th fret down and crowning and polishing, which fixed it. I really like this guitar and it wasn't excessively expensive but it does sound and play good. This guitar came with fairly heavy strings so I installed lighter strings for my tired old fingers, and that will probably help in preventing the ski jump from getting worse. Fingers crossed.

@fearlessdiymusic 14 күн бұрын
That is a good mitigation strategy! If things get a little worse you can try leveling all the lower frets per the video so you aren’t chasing per/string per/fret problems. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it stays stable for you! Take care and thanks for watching 🤞

'Father Christmas' is the ultimate hard rock Christmas song and also a critique of how it is not celebrated in the spirit of what it is presented to be whether you see it as a religious or secular holiday! Van Halen also covered the obscurity Where Have All the Good Times Gone. Listen closely to the bridge of She's Got Everything; you'll hear the melody for the later hit Woman From Tokyo by Deep Purple! Plus, The Romantics do a great cover of She's Got Everything on their debut self titled power pop classic lp!

One thing that might be mentioned is that the Kink's could argue that they invented raga rock (simulated sitar) with See My Friends; that or Heart Full of Soul by the Yardbirds which came out several months before Norwegian Wood. Also, The Kinks 'Face to Face' has been considered one of the first concept albums although the record company diminished the concept by only allowing the party line phone ring for the opening track instead of between each track; one character would connect to the next character represented by each song. Village Green Preservation Society would stand out as a pastoral pop concept album. Arthur has been said to be the 2nd rock opera 'recorded' although Tommy beat it to retail line (SF Sorrow by Pretty Thing was the 1st).

Thanks for not saturating the tones with distortion. I've got a Strat and modded it many times trying different pickups, and configurations. I started using Modelers long ago when I discovered how impractical Amps were in my personal use scenarios and living situations. The inability to save Amp and Pedal settings ultimately put and end to both. I currently use an HX Stomp. I went from 3 pickups to 2, and now to 1 Bridge location Humbucker. Since tones can be dialed in precisely and easily recalled, multiple pickups actually turned out to be more trouble than they were worth. The problem is that a tone dialed in perfectly for the Bridge Pickup is not likely to be perfectly dialed in on the Neck Pickup. This means more fooling around with knob, parameters, and settings every time I switched between them. By having just one Pickup, I avoid all that hassle, the guitar electronics are simpler, and the sound better in my experience. There is no bleed from one Pickup into another, and thus no phasing, etc. The Bridge location also provides the most harmonically rich tones, something I prefer.
