Al Di Meola describes how to break away from stiff sounding playing using syncopated rhythms and improved picking articulation. I also like to hear a nylon stringed guitar played with a pick.
Thereās also some great playing simply to enjoy.
Iāve bought another fuzz. Itās the reissued Electro-Harmonix green big muff.
The original green big muff was made in Russia in the 1990s. The new pedal retains the characteristic drab olive colour.
I had the opportunity to try both, an original green muff and the reissue. They sound very similar; the original has all the mojo but I preferred the reissue.
The sounds the green muff make are fat, saturated and splurty. More suited to electric wizard than raspy rolling stones fuzz.

Fat, saturated and splurty.
Nice.
Yep, see 3:35 in the video.
To get that much heavy from a Stratocaster is quite something! 
1st track from our debut ep has finally appeared!

This week I learnt to play the riff from Daft Punkās Da Funk just because itās a great riff. Using a phaser into fuzz gets close to the original synth sound.

Picked up this beautiful Turner 85 acoustic earlier this week. It sounds amazing, just blows my Yamaha and Washburn away tonally. I was starting to look at Taylor, Lowden etc but this may well substitute any cravings I had in that direction. Sound per pound is off the scale.

Nice. Iāve not heard of Turner Guitars before. Just had a look at their website - a UK based company.
I play a 2009 Taylor acoustic. I can always make room for another acoustic - a friend for life as Knopfler remarks - post #79.
As I remember they were branded as the poor mans Taylor when they first appeared on the market but I think that was due to the similarity of the name more than anything else. I certainly prefer the Turner to the Taylor 312ce I have previously owned. Iām mainly playing in DADGAD tuning these days and the Turner is great for that type of playing.
Fender American Bass hooked up to mine.
Kenneth Williams innuendos apart, you canāt beat an EH Big Muff.
EH do a nice POG.
Makes a 6 string sound all Byrds 12 string jingly jangly.
You have to find the right one ā¦ especially true for acoustics. Looks like you may have.
Bass + fuzz were made for each other. If I were buying a bass Iād probably choose the fuzz first.
I donāt use many effects, mostly fuzz and an SD1 into a pushed amp. Octave pedals (like the POG) with distortion sound cool. If I ever get bored with vanilla distortion thatās where Iād go.

Download e.p. finally out!
I had a Turner when they first came out must be nearly 20 years ago. It was a nice guitar, as I remember the neck was quite wide. They definitely have a Taylor flavour about them.
Lots of guitar for the money,
Good find.

Just wondered what are the best sites for used guitar classifieds for UK sellers?
Iāve bought and sold via the Fretboard classifieds. Always busy and usually populated by normal guitar players and not shiesters.
Do read the rules first. All sensible.
