    yeah but does it also explain how to do a drop D tuning in a split second? (6.38)

       That was what I found most impressive. I wonder if they’re indexed tuners.

      It’s the only thing I regret about getting a Floyd Rose system.

        Non-recessed Floyd with an EVH d-tuna.

           Whoa, that’s a cool device. Sold!

          How does it deal with the subsequent increase in tension across the remaining strings?

    • http://theladyfingers.blogspot.com/ Ladyfingers

       Incidentally, if you’ve never seen a video of Yamashita’s guitar rendition of “Pictures at an Exhibition”, you have never seen a guitar played. On-the-fly tuning, independent plucking techniques, just insane. People who’d heard a recording refused to believe it was possible.

    Pictures of Matchstick Men by Camper Van?  . . . Status Quo

    Adrian made Soundslice and Django. He’s a pretty cool guy who doesn’t afraid of anything.

  • cepson

    The riffs started sounding unfamiliar around #65 or so.

    Damn, I’m old.

    And yeah, Pictures of Matchstick Men is probably older than the kids in Camper Van Beethoven.
