Synchronicity II

nice tone(s), holmes! obviously not the best audio but your killin' tone still shines thru.

now.....how DID i know that when the bassplayer reached for his volume knob it wasn't to turn DOWN????

Our volume knobs all go to 11 and they don't turn down!

It was a little loud down there for Roger's little video camera. It would be nice to get someone over there with some good gear and get a decent sounding video but he did a good job for just stopping by. Thanks for listening!

Loud rockin'! Hope you guys have earplugs in for practice!

What??

Actually I believe Mike the drummer wears earplugs, not sure about Paul or Johnny. I definitely don't, never have and never will. I plan on leaving no usable parts when I die! Thanks for checking it out Mike!

Im grooving to BORN TO RUN!

Thanks Jimmy!

Synchronicity sounds great, Ive never even thought of playing that one for some reason.

I assume thats a chorus pedal, but it has some different modulation sounds more like a phasor/flanger.

Listening to Too Rollong Stoned, sounds great Jimmy.

Not being picky but your singer seems to be strecthing his range on some things on these songs. I dont know if youve ever thought about tuning to E flat, might give him a little room.

But man thanks for sharing those, just awesome.

Great guitar tone, great licks, and it sounds like fun!

Hey thanks for having a look John!

Yes, some of these songs are out of Johnny the singer's range when played in the correct key, and we have talked about dropping the tuning a half-step, but I'm not sure that would help on stuff like The Police, etc. He really has a better mid-range voice but we make him do stuff out of his comfort zone (Led Zep etc). We prefer to play the songs in the original keys if possible. Really we should just pick songs that he can do easily.

I wasnt picking on him, just thought I would offer that solution, I dont like dropping down either.

Oh by the way bought another Les Paul today, actually Ive used it before a Studio Model, and a carvin amp, 100 watt tube 2x12 combo, the white faced one.

I was digging on Too Rolling Stoned..very nice.

Sweet John! What color is the new LP?

Oops, just saw your comment Scott, thanks!

Nice choice of tunes JD... coming along nicely! Born to Run is a good choice for his vox.
Are you using SA EMG's in your Strat?

Looks like fun Jimmy. You have a nice touch on Trower. I've never played Born to Run but chicks go crazy over it. That song is a keeper and the band sounds good.

Synch II is a personal favorite from the past. We used to play that on the college circuit and I just think it has an interesting groove with tragic lyrics. It's too high for your singer for sure though. Take it down 3-4 1/2 steps and he should be ok but the guitar positions suffer some.

Rock on brother!

Nice job JD, especially Synch. A suggestion, listen to (Before You Accuse Me)
from Eric Clapton Journeyman. Fun song and lot of guitar room. If he sings it
with attitude. It should work.
Pure Massacre by Silverchair would ROCK also.
