Had to sell my first one for a year in 2015 and bought another back in 2016... Still in love with that amp and all the possibilities. With a JP or a Cutlass it's just a killer combo! Thanks Mesa/Boogie!

Magic. This guy is, IMHO, in the top 5 currently playing. I saw him at a one of the G3 things in Chicago and he's just got "it", whatever "it" is. Not only speed, which is unfortunately one of those things for some folks think is the only thing that matters. His rhythm, tone, knowlege, and technique are what set him apart from all the other "shredders". And his personality is great. He signed autographs till there were no more to sign, and that's a rare thing.

This clean sound is great, its also very good for practise. Many beginners try to run too soon and go for max distortion like the pros, but it hides your mistakes and they will just persist. So I practise in clean and when its right, only then go and kick ass. It will also sound better because your picking will be spot on.

+ 1 on that! I spend 90% of my practice time on channel 1 on my Mark V. It's so articulate, precise and dynamic (not to mention beautiful) that even your tiniest missteps are painfully obvious, and makes you really focus hard on proper technique. Even pick angle makes a huge difference with a sound like that. It has made me a much better player even with heavily distorted tones. Getting a Mark V is the best thing that has ever happened to my technique!

They're two different sets of skills. There are mistakes that a clean channel will gloss over, such as mistakes in muting. Learning to control a distortion channel is a skill of its own. I would recommend practicing distorted licks and riffs on a crunch sound with enough gain that you don't get to hide with the cleans but not enough distortion that you can rely on it to cover up sloppiness.

@PositivelyInsane He's using the humbuckers in split coil mode. The bottom switch is in the middle position(coil split) and the top switch is in the bottom position which means the piezo is inactive and only the magnetics are engaged. If you listen closely to the Hollow Years demo he bumps the magnetic selector switch when he first starts strumming which changes it to the bridge pickup for the second chord before he switches back to split coils for the third strummed chord.

The TC Electronics G-System will give you complete control over your rig and any other pedals you may want to integrate without changing the core of your amps sound. It also handles the switching for you of the channels (you may need an amp gizmo to interface with the Mark V to change amp channels, not sure because I own a Dual Rectifier 3-channel model and it does). Hope this helps

Well technique exercises are probably the most effective way to develop your guitar playing. You can find plenty of technique exercises here on KZbin and online. The most important thing is to always start at a speed where you can consistently play something without making mistakes, then gradually up the speed, and slowly but surely you'll be able to play it faster and faster. It's tedious, but it's very effective.
