Ha! I was playing N.I.B. yesterday. It's been years. I'm trying to dust off some old tunes and switch things up as well as learn some new stuff.

Happy Sunday, Troy!

Thanks for licking us all on this Monday Q&A that is some funny stuff. I am so happy that you are about to hit 100k brother!!! It should be a million the content is top notch and I don’t own a Fractal device and I watch every single video because of your playing and you are all around one cool cat🤟🏻

Dig that pinky exercise! Yeah man, sounds like you have the right balance - which is what it’s all about. Teaching, duo gigs etc and all that allows you to do your originals in the way you want too. Nice

Good pinky tips! Heh - I vacuum part of the house left handed, just to keep both sides working!

Great Q and A brother as usual. That Kiss story was hilarious. 😂
I try to work my pinky in a little. I like how you said it more finesse. It's true, because you only need to put as much pressure against the fret that's required to make the note sound off and I had the hardest time with that when I first started playing. I would really dig in. Great stories. Too funny brother.
Love that DGT. Probably the best all around or one of them for the money guitars out there today. I do love some of the premium Ibanez guitars too I see on Sweetwater ( here in my home state) .. They have some killer stuff with stainless frets, neck thru's and with the excellent edge trems, etc,.
I once went to a battle of the bands like thing at this club, but it was battle of lead solos. People just got up and played solos. They had like two minutes, then the crowd clapped and they had a decimal meter to determine who won and they gave them some type of prize. This was in the 80s and some of these guys were awful 😂. Some were great and most were just okay. One guy that I worked with who didn't even play guitar borrowed one and plugged in and did nothing but abuse the Floyd Rose of a Kramer guitar he borrowed from someone and it was awful and was boo'd bad. 😂
Have a great day sir and better week and stay warm as I know it's fall there. It's spring here and the weather has been awesome except for the damn bugs such as ticks and such. I hate those damn things. 😂
Be well sir. ❤

Love the Kiss story :)

That's an interesting take on pinky finger stuff. I personally try to play a lot of stuff to "detach" pinky from ring finger, but i hit a plateau. My main exercise used to be the fast parts of Soothsayer by Buckethead, which is just a scale with a lot of pinky movements, but no matter how long i spend on that, my pinky is just stiff. Will have to try your approach

Hey Leon ! Great Q&A ! Was never a big Kiss fan, but that was funny ! Really enjoy every video you make on Fractal gear. I’ve had my FM9 for about a year and just love it ! Thinking of selling my amps (Mesa M5 and Krank R). QQ, have you ever thought of doing videos on well-known guitarists and their tone? Or maybe showing how to build the guitar tone from a specific song. As an example, I was listening to “He knows you know” from Marillion while taking a walk and tried to replicate the tone used for the guitar riff ! Thanks, Norm from Canada

re: touring -- We should all be so lucky as to break even on a weekend spent engaged in our favorite activity! 😄 I wouldn't look at it as not turning a profit so much as getting to do it for free.

Early on, I read about somebody, perhaps Hetfield but not 100% sure anymore, using middle & pinkie fingers for power chords in certain riffs as a matter of economy. I immediately started practicing that, things like holding an open E power chord with my 1st finger and throwing G power chords with the 2nd & 4th, or half-step intervals with 1 & 3 and 2 & 4. I also started working on playing different chord voicings that forced me to use unusual finger combinations and placements.
Jeeeeeez, KISS guy....yeah, I've had that experience. Why does it sometimes seem like the most eager to get behind a mic and insistent that they're a great singer are usually the least capable?
OK, I dunno if this has been asked or answered. Ever have a train wreck on stage?
|
Leon have you ever gigged with Peter Northcote? He’d be an interesting interview maybe on the gear channel….
|
That story about the Kiss guy was priceless. I mean, what do you do? Boot the dude off the stage and maybe look like jerks (as well as devastate the guy)? Or let him continue and alienate your crowd? The joys of live rock and roll.

Django Reinhardt challenge is fun and rewarding. Be careful with it, if you feel pain. Stop!
But it may entertain you in a different light. Try it out y'all
