Update: This apparently sold out very quickly. I intended to go directly to the Count Basie box office for tickets (we live 15 minutes away). By the time I could get there, all tickets were sold. Same with the other area dates. ☹️

Got sick of having to repair one of my amps anytime I felt like playing (which is why I quit playing) so I got this setup going on. Got a bunch of trial plugins from NeuralDSP that sound SICK! Will definitely purchase a couple. Anyways…I played guitar… almost as rare as me riding a bike these days.

Welcome to the 2000’s. Amps are dead unless you’re over 60 years old or have a curly mustache and a Brewery Cap.

Amps ain’t dead. But damn if the fortin pack doesn’t sound like a freakin fortin. That’s the only plugin I tried so far.
Here’s a wall of amps at a studio I was filming in a couple weeks ago.

Recording Studios are also dead.

The big ones are for sure. This place has been here my entire life. Dude has a sick collection of gear.

He lets the guitar player plug into whatever amp they want with whatever guitar they want and lets them turn all the knobs and then he just runs it through a MacBook with Neural DSP 😂

There is actually some truth to that. The live room is just for tracking drums and scratch tracks. All of those heads are patchable to a mix of cabs in another room totally isolated. Always record a separate clean track of guitar for re amping later…ie you end up hating all the amps and you run it through neural lol.
This studio is the real deal though. I learned how to cut tape there before we went digi.

Last Friday my youngest son (17) and I went to the MPAC to see Buddy Guy on his Farewell tour. Son is mostly a Bass player but has picked up guitar and been jamming with his friends and some open mic nights.
This guy (pun not intended) is 87 and still can totally shred the blues. His guest performers were Bobby Rush who is 90! And his son Eric? Guy who can also shred.
Blues is not my main thing but I can appreciate all genres of music at any time. my son really enjoyed it which was the main thing

Ok proud dad moment.
High school rock and roll concert tonight and Zach not only doesn’t tell us what songs they are playing but then he gets on vocals too (he’s on bass on the left )
🤘🏻🤯😱
Got videos too have to make a shared cloud folder.
P.s. middle son (21) works for the school district and is the lighting designer and on stage sound tech running all the wireless mic packs and Monitors from his iPad.

Please put guitar in stand. Gravity and guitars, as with bikes, sucks.

It's normally in the rack. Just carefully leaned up against the amp for the picture.
