Rossington's Peavey Mace 320T settings for the tribute tour in the 80s.
Plugged into the EFFECTS CHANNEL.
If you own a Mace, plug into the SERIES CHANNEL so you don't get hearing problems. You can get more gain with lower volume.
It's was rumored that Rossington played his old school 70s Mace up until his last show. He would promote the current Peavey amp at the time onstage, but use the Mace heads behind it.

I accidentally discovered Steve Gaines' tone last night while jamming with my dad. I was using his go-to axe from years ago, a sunburst finish Dean Cadillac. He was speechless on how close it sounded to the record. I was blown away too!
He told me to take his guitar home and make an episode - so I did!
Doing a Steve Gaines deep dive today. What made the "Steve Gaines Sound?" Watch - https://youtu.be/Eb4NiXXE0sk

Attempting my best Allen Collins impersonation in this video here - https://youtu.be/yTdT_O2fTZE
The band really came together to learn their parts. The bass and drums are CRITICAL to making Allen Collins' solo pop. When you feel those HITS and STOPS, it takes you musically back to 1976 when @dOfficial was tearing it up.
So, take a listen and let me know what you think!

Yeah we all learned pentatonic scale position 1 at birth... BUT did you know you know it's the most versatile position on the fretboard?
I was afraid of seeming "too basic" but what I've learned is POSITION 1 "has it all" - if you know the techniques to employ.

5 NOTES. That's all he needed to make some of the best guitar solos ever. Dickey Betts was a MASTER of simplicity.
In some ways he fooled us into thinking he was a very complex player. When you look at his solos, he's a lightning fast, clean player. His tone was FAT and bluesy. But what surprises me the most is how he took 5 notes and made infinite combinations of solos out of them.
Today I'm sharing some of my favorite Dickey Betts techniques here - https://youtu.be/jaVYU-bAGKQ

Will we live to see the day when we have another "Clapton", "Kossoff", or "Betts" in the same generation?
I'm talking about their unique play style. Smooth soulful bends. Using the guitar like it's a voice. Fast when you need to be. Every note has a purpose.
What do you think?
I share my thoughts in today's episode. Watch here - https://youtu.be/WvJ7TG8cGa0
