Not his finest hour 
Indeed. Iām a big fan, but can find nothing to redeem it.
In an all time top ten of stinkeh albums it would have to figure in there.
There is many a slip twixt cup and lip.
Iāve heard quite a few solo albums which reeked of being let off a leash with a less than positive outcome. Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed anyone ???
Thankfully these tend to be short live indulgences, and normal service is dutifully resumed in double quick time.
Well, yes. Bald pates await the falling tortoise.
But Iām now much #closertothetruth* re. Peter Greenās magical sounds.
And guitar shops. 
Bit of mystic thinking in the final minute; otherwise a riveting trip to āThe Science Museum of Musicā.
*Yes, Iāve read the story before. This way you can hear it.
Hereās me using the bass as lead and rhythm guitar as well as keyboardy bass!

Got my guitar set up whilst away on jollies and have just bought a looper pedal to hopefully get some interesting practises going.
Rock on.

Letās see if I can live up to my Paul Rutherford/Grachan Moncur/JJ Johnson aspirations.

For the past couple of weeks Iāve been investigating clean electric guitar tones, which isnāt something Iāve bothered with much before. My woody romance with the acoustic guitar continues and playing monstrous palm-chugs oādoom on the electric will always put a smile on my face (more of a frown/grimace actually but this means Iām enjoying it). Playing clean electric however, is a bit of a novelty. Looking for a Boss analogue delay pedal now to add some āinterestā.

There is no hiding behind a ācleanā guitar thatās for sure. Itāll show up every fumble.
Youāll be playing Country and Western before you know it. 
Not the best translation from Japanese ever penned.
I found it on Thomannsā site, which is one of my go to places for Pro Audio bits 'n Bobās.
They also have French Horn & Trumpet variations. The valve gear is none functionalā¦obvās!
Never. Ever. Nope.
This week Iāve been rediscovering the blues. The blues is where I started, which in itself isnāt at all remarkable because itās where just about every guitar player starts. After learning a few chords and the riff to Mist on the Millpond, a pentatonic scale is usually next. Chuck in one or two more notes, + microtones, blues bingo!
The thing is I donāt even like blues-rock. Pub rock greying receding pony-tailed vintage gear arse boring wank. So what the chuff?
Well, Iām doing my blues thing on a pointy headstock guitar and it sounds good to me. This could be the difference. But of course Iām not the first.

Proper gorgeous that !
As good a place as any. The new album from Hetfield & co is really very good. Something which lives up to the hype for a change. 
Thereās an argument which goes around in hifi circles about which of source, amplification or speakers is the most important to sound quality. Iāve always believed itās the speakers (excepting room acoustics which is complicating the matter).
A similar argument is often aired among guitar players. Is it the guitar, the amp or the cabinet (speaker) which is most important to tone? - meaning a desirable sound. Again, I think itās the speaker, or cabinet. Hereās a vid:
Iāve not listened to it properly yet but what Iāve heard sounds great, a relief after Luluā¦
For me volume and valves, are what make an amazing guitar tone.
Jimi Hendrix so often, had that absolutely killer tone. I wish I could have seen him play.
