The Well IX

Re: The Well IX

You have a lusty eye and a special taste for gear. Describe your spiral into gear addiction.

What is your most embarrasing moment? What happened?

What is your favourite finish on a guitar? If your favourite finish depends on the guitar, what is your favourite finish on your favourite guitar?

What is your dream job?
​

Gunny asked you what your favourite restaurant is... hard question. These will be even harder:

What is your favourite main course meal?

What is your favourite entree?

What is your favourite desert?​

Re: The Well IX

I'll ask you one more question if I may. , but it will be in two parts > lol.
1) What would you say about the Fender Telecaster?
2) What would you say about Bruce"The Boss" Springstten?

Ask away...keep them coming!

1-The Fender Telecaster may very well be the perfect electric guitar! I think that in the right hands a Telecaster can cover EVERYTHING from jazz to country to rock, surf, blues...name it, if you've got a Tele, it's in there!

2-Bruce is a great artist and I have a lot of respect for him however I just never connect to his music...it doesn't do it for me...

THANKS!

Well, my dad had a friend that had a house full of old gear...stuff from the 40's up to the 70's and I noticed that his stuff, even beat up and looking terrible sounded and played better than new stuff, I also noticed that he had several vintage Strats and they all sounded different...that just amazed me! That really got me into the gear end of things...I had to know why those 4 or 5 Strats sounded different then I had to know why they also sounded different that 5 new strats and why, to me his Strats sounded better than new Strats!

After a year or 2 of going to every music store and guitar show I could get to and playing everything they'd let me get to I found my first guitar that spoke to me...my Moderne...it was indeed all down hill after that!

most embarrasing moment...Hmm, no to sure to be honest.

Fav finish...it just depends on the guitar...in general I tend to prefer more traditional colours...sunbursts, blonds, naturals etc...I really like the iced tea burst on my R8, I also love the look or real limba in a real Korina finish...it all just depends however the colour is way down the line in importance to me...

Dream Job...rock star of course!

Hmm...I wasn't able to nail down one restruant and I don't think this will be any easier...

I can tell you this...I love a good steak, I don't eat them often for sevral reasons but I do enjoy them from time to time, Im also love good mexican food, I am also a complete sucker for a killer burger and a lot of times I'll cook myself a nice down home dinner...green beans, black eyes peas, mashed taters, cornbread...no meat just some good veggies and some cornbread. ON the desert front I love pecan pie and any kind of Ice Cream with caramel and nuts in it...FWIW, I am also a bog fan of good beers and spend a lot of time trying new beers and yes, I do change my beer drinking wiht the season. I also love a good latte...

Re: The Well IX

from my usual bag of well questions:


If you had a super power what would it be?

Favorite super hero or villian?

favorite character from a movie?

Re: The Well IX

Time travel...I could get some killer gear that way!

When you say super hero I think comic book style and if thats the deal Im a Batman fan...but I prefer the newer/darker Batman

I have so many fav movies it's be too hard to pick just one character from just one movie...

Re: The Well IX

What's your inspiration to pick up the guitar when you do and play? There's more to it with you than 'what the heck, why not?'. What inspires you to pick it up and play it each time that you do?

Re: The Well IX

Are you this big of a punk in person?

Are you ready to give me your KoT and Teese because they suck?

How many pairs of work gloves do you go through a week?

 

[guest1234]

Re: The Well IX

Since Luke clearly has no use for a Teese, will you give it to me?

Sure I do, it's all about science. I must measure their suck aptitude. Unfortunately that takes about 40-50 years, but you can have them when I'm done....

Where, and when did you have your perfect onstage moment?

Re: The Well IX

Can you describe the perfect tone that you're aiming for?
How close to it are you?

If you could get the chops of one famous guitarist, who would it be?

Re: The Well IX

Have you heard Oysterhead? If so, whaddya think?

If I ever make it to Atlanta to visit my brother, are you up for an evening of beer & loud music?

Playing is one thing that I want to do all the time...most days I can hardly wait to get of work so I can come home and play. I play guitar as often as possible and to be honest I don't know where the inspiration comes from but I know I feel inspired all the time!

Yes
No
A pair of work gloves last me about 2-3 months

No but if you want a wah pedal you should buy one.

That my man is up to you...Im always up for a pickin session!

I haven't had a perfect yet and I might never but I have had several really good ones! I feel that there is always room from improvement however I try not to get too hung up on certian things like my tone, if I missed a not, if the tempo felt off...as long as I had fun and the people in the crowd had fun then it was a good gig!

One of my favorite things is when somebody from the crowd comes up after a set or after the show and tells me that they really liked my playing...when you really connect with people on that level it's a very special moment.
