Major scale solo techniques?
I've mastered the blues scale/pentatonic scale. Vertically, horizontally, whatnot to the point that people tell me "its good", but I want to move on :) For example, the Jane Says solo is obviously just a major scale in the key of G. How does Navarro make it seem much more than that? Anyone got any other examples of songs…

This probably belongs somewhere else BUT
The M&G is the only place I go on this forum. Anyway, I'm watching the Sooners lay the smackdown on Texas Tech and as ESPN cuts to commercial, what do I hear? The usual AC/DC track? NAY!

new/ newish gadgets to the guitar scene+ ramblings.
Ok so some of these aren't really new. I was just researching the Berlin Wall last night because I'm a history nerd and I believe this month in 1989 was when it started coming down. (for whatever reason my mind drifts instantly to U2 and delays) I remembered there were a few effects I wanted to check out. How great is our…

If you've never seen them, they're…

Fender Blender
Well, I bought it a couple years ago from Monster78. Thing is, it always seemed a bit off. There was a huge volume cut but if I kicked it, the thing would recover. During the summer, it stopped recovering and just died. I took it in and, after three months, the Flender is shot. I don't really know what to do. I can still…

Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue.....adjusting tube bias
I may or may not be the only one here who owns this amp, not sure. so this is for FYI. well, I've decided that the stock Groove Tubes aren't great. breaks up too soon on the clean channel and the lows are flabby. reading on the internet, seems Groove Tubes have a mixed reputation and some (or most) of them are just tubes…
