Sensitive Artist by John S Hall I am a sensitive artist. Nobody understands me because I am so deep. In my work I make allusions to books that nobody else has read, Music that nobody else has heard, And art that nobody else has seen. I can't help it Because I am so much more intelligent And well-rounded Than everyone who surrounds me. I stopped watching tv when I was six months old Because it was so boring and stupid And started reading books And going to recitals And art galleries. I don't go to recitals anymore Because my hearing is too sensitive And I don't go to art galleries anymore Because there are people there And I can't deal with people Because they don't understand me. I stay home Reading books that are beneath me, And working on my work, Which no one understands I am sensitive... I am a sensitive artist...

Yeah, it's sammish wrap.

Carve up a cheap guitar first. One thing I noticed is that when I really dug in and bent a string, it broke. It was hard to play legato too, my fingers just hung up on the strings. Like fretless, I really had to change my approach a bit to get results - not a bad thing. I think huge frets are enough, but I'm curious about the Blackmore Strat.

Share...tell us where he gets his hats.

It's like having huge frets, it's really easy to bend strings. John McLaughlin used scalloped fingerboards back in the '70's-80's, Shatki & One Truth bands. He was taking Vina lessons at the time. Close-up of a veena's scalloped fretboard. Malmsteen got the idea from Blackmore and I don't know where Blackmore got the idea.

I tried one of these out recently, a rosewood Tele. I didn't plug it in, but it had no twang or high end at all. Since I'm wondering what the clean electric sound is like, I might have to go back to Sam Yak and find out. This one is MIJ, the one I tried was an USA Masterbuilt Fender, priced at almost 5k.

The whole thing I think...these are production guitars, not his. I did it to a guitar once and started with just the 12th fret on up - very strange and when I did the whole neck, it got very warped. another production guitar:

The problem is not one post more than other, it's the accumulation of posts denigrating the subject. You don't like the dude's music, you write about it what you don't like about him that's fine with me that's what this board is for.... ... but keeping on ranting about how the guy sucks, geez Louise there must be better things to do... Life is short, music is about having fun, why should you waste your time about things you only have desdain. yep... I'd like to think I'm pretty positive about music, although I'm sure one could dig around find find a post where I expressed a negative opinion about music.

I'm curious about the Blackmore Strat, I've never tried one. I have tried the Malmsteen Strat and those scalloped fingerboards are interesting.

Just being careful and making myself clear and showing the proper amount of respect here in the post bluenote82 period. I am here to learn not pick fights. I wasn't even thinking of anyone in particular...at least not with that comment.

It's not like someone flipped out and called a board member a mother fucking piece of shit, mother fucking ass wipe or a piece of contemptible shit...and/or threatened another board member with physical harm. .

Sounds like Keith Jarrett. .

But he can be...if you want him to. . No one said you can't like who you want to(what is it with these boards and they way people interpet everything as a personal insult?), but there are some good observations here regarding Mehldau. I think this is getting blown way out of wack, but don't stop because I said anything.

But he can be...if you want him to. .

Sounds like love. Let us know when you pick it up. .

i need my eyes checked!

Tell him about the dingy teeth made white ad! .

They might be headstock heavy with all those tuners! John Entwistle (the Who) and the guy from Cheap Trick played them. I tried one once, it reminded me of playing rhythm guitar. Interesting...perfect for rock.

Didn't you start a discussion about this guitar in this thread, last week? I say, hey! I like it.

Close to the Edge.

Incredible Isn’t Even Close… .
