new WEIRD GUITAR tribe formed: come join us if you like alternative techniques and equipment and aesthetics

looppool — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:14:55 GMT

Hi, everyone,

I just started a tribe dedicated to all that unusual things one can do with an acoustic or electric guitar,
from different techniques to different aesthetic approaches to physical adjuncts to the guitar
to innovators from the past and innovators in the future of this instrument.

probably not for the weeedala weeedala weeedala shred set, necessarily , if you know what I mean
though I don't ever want to be exclusive about creativity.

Hope you can make it and contribute some.

yours, Rick Walker aka looppool

Jeff Healey R.I.P.

shay — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:36:59 GMT

Blind rock and jazz musician Jeff Healey has died after a lifelong battle against cancer. He was 41.

Healey died Sunday evening in a Toronto hospital, said bandmate Colin Bray, who was in the room with Healey's family when the guitarist died.

The Grammy-nominated Healey rose to stardom as the leader of the Jeff Healey Band, a rock-oriented trio that gained international acclaim and platinum record sales with the 1988 album "See the Light." The album included the hit single "Angel Eyes."

Healey had battled cancer since age 1, when a rare form of retinal cancer known as Retinoblastoma claimed his eyesight.

Due to his blindness, Healey taught himself to play guitar by laying the instrument across his lap.

His unique playing style, combined with his blues-oriented vocals, earned him a reputation as a teenage musical prodigy. He shared stages with George Harrison, B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Bray said he and many others expected the guitarist to rally from this latest illness.

"I don't think any of us thought this was going to happen," Bray said. "We just thought he was going to bounce back as he always does."

Healey had undergone numerous operations in recent years to remove tumors from his lungs and leg.

Bray and fellow bandmate Gary Scriven remembered their frontman as a musician of rare abilities with a generous nature and wicked sense of humor.

Healey's true love was jazz, the genre that dominated his three most recent albums.

His love of jazz led him to host radio shows in Canada where he spun long-forgotten numbers from his personal collection of over 30,000 vinyl records.

His death came weeks before the release of his first rock album in eight years.

"Mess of Blues" is slated for a North American release on April 22.

He is survived by his wife, Christie, and two children.

He is an amazing musician. His appearance on Howard Stern has brought him into the limelight. Take a listen and I think you will be impressed. I have been inspired to take up music again... this time of course the guitar is going to be my instrument.

New Albion Records album release - Erdem Helvacioglu

Erdem — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 16:39:31 GMT

Dear Friends,

I am happy to announce that my new solo album has been released by the US label "New Albion"!

Here is the link about the album at New Albion's web site : www.newalbion.com/NA131

This is an album of "solo acoustic guitar and live electronics". The whole album was recorded in real-time without any overdubs. I played the acoustic guitar and controlled the live electronics at the same time.

During the making of this album, Ovation Custom Legend 1869 acoustic guitar, TC Electronic Fireworx multi effects processor, Behringer FCB1010 midi foot controller and the software Audiomulch were used.

If you are interested in acoustic guitar, and the use of live electronics, feel free to check out the album!

Thank you very much and best regards. Looking forward to your comments!

Erdem Helvacioglu

Cover Bands : Let's Stick Together

GuitarDude — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 19:30:23 GMT

listen, i play in a local cover band here in phoenix. i just joined the cover band extraordinaire tribe and am trying to get some activity going there.

i think it's a shame that there is not much activity going on. i'm trying to send some emails out and get some people to join.

cover bands never get any cred. it's always the original bands that get all the kudos. and that's fine, i've been in original bands myself and it's a very difficult task. but working all week long and then playing 34 weekends a year is difficult too. when i played in original bands, we only had to play for an hour on a given night. in cover bands, it's 4 hours PLUS pack-in time PLUS pack-out time. loads of practive, driving, emails, web stuff, it's very difficult.

so if we don't help each other, then who will.

i've been looking to find a group and/or tribe for some time that deals with these issues.

anyways, here's the tribe if you would like to join :

coverbands.tribe.net/

hope you join and we all can get some activity going!

and i hope you have a great day and keep on rocking!

Soukous Guitar Tribe!

ScottShuster — Mon, 04 Jul 2005 03:44:31 GMT

Soukous is Africa's most popular guitar sound, based on brilliant guitar work, mainly on strats, often with a lot of echo. Hear it once and you will want to play it. It sounds incredibly hard but it's not really all that tough to play -- if you've got the speed. Find out more by joining the new Soukous Guitar tribe, http://tribes.tribe.net/soukousguitar -- !! Never heard of soukous? Very popular for decades already in France and Belgium -- because it comes from Zaire and Congo, and tends to speak French when it's not singing in the Congo language of Lingala. We've really been missing out in the US. Pay no attention to the fact that you can't understand what they're saying (they're mainly love songs, but fast!!): Just listen to the guitars - you'll be stunnned.

studiorat — Sun, 11 Jul 2004 05:24:15 GMT

So, what started you playing the guitar?

I got my first electric at 10 years old (a Sears plywood special). I wanted a drum set, but got the guitar instead because my dad said "I could be more quiet". I started learning Sabbath riffs, and it grew into my life's passion.

So, I was in the process of selecting which loaf of white bread was best for purchase, when I noticed none other than Joe Satriani playing through the overheads. "Satch Boogie" to be precise...

Isn't that one of the signs of the Apocalypse? Either that, or they have a pretty cool store manager.
