Posted by Rick in Music / Artists, News, Tips / Technique, Videos on April 9th, 2010
This will open your eyes!
Tiago Della Vega is a Brazilian guitarist. Born in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, he began learning to play the acoustic guitar at the age of five. After a year, he realized that the electric guitar was his greatest passion. He started to study electric guitar, practicing 14 hours a day.
Tiago della Vega played with the bands After Dark and Fermatha. At present, he travels around the world playing and doing workshops. He currently holds the Guinness World Records title as the fastest guitar player in the world, playing The Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov at 320 beats per minute.
He plays a custom signature Andrellis 7-string guitar which has 24 frets and a Floyd Rose tremolo, the Andrellis TDV.

I guess when you’re driving a round speaker, it doesn’t matter what shape the cabinet is really – but I’m just used to seeing big square / rectangular stacks and these triangles are a little different. – JPH
I agree with JP, after 30 plus years in the business looking at the same square boxes, it is a little hard to get used to, but, if it plays, it plays. Check out these 3rd Power Amplification Systems
REFLECTING ON LES PAUL
Posted by Rick in Gear, Music / Artists, News, Tips / Technique, Videos, guitar history on August 25th, 2009
This interview with Les Paul in 1992 is a treasure and should make every guitar player who walks into a music store humbled at the array of “toys” he provided us. He glided over his adversities with the same grace he played guitar and that is a gift to us all.

JPH found another cool post for us. This item would be great for small spaces and where noise needs to be kept to a minimum. There’s a great video demo that explains it very well.
Go here to see what it’s all about.
FUN IN THE STUDIO
Posted by Rick in Music / Artists, News, Videos on March 24th, 2009
We recently had a good time recording a couple of my students so they can have a keepsake of what they have learned so far. I have to say, it was a lot of fun. We simply did an open air live recording with our Line 6 and Adobe Audition. It turned out surprisingly well and I think the guys will get a kick out of it.
