This article first appeared in the April 2007 Newsletter.
Johnny Winter was in Toronto again this past week. And as luck
would have it, Joey Leone is in Toronto recording a DVD this
week at Orchard Studios, so I thought it fitting to rerun this
one. Enjoy!

Maybe it was punk rock, with its rejection of good guitar
playing. You know, any old bloke can bash on a guitar and who
cares if it's in tune. More likely it was punk's more popified
successor New Wave which opted for tasty yet understated
guitar textures (in tune), though still without the slashing
guitar solos, matching costumes accepted. Think Andy Summers
and the Police. Whatever the cause, right at the beginning of
the 1980s a new type of guitar appeared on the scene.

The big daddy out of New Jersey in the 60s was Ampeg. While
they never made much of an inroads into the guitar market
(though the Plexiglas was radical), they were the East Coast's
answer to Fender for much of the 50s and 60s in amplifiers.
And, come flip tops and, later, SVTs and they actually
surpassed the king of Fullerton in bass amplification. But New
Jersey had a few other great (albeit minor) amplifier
companies of the 60s and 70s.

As promised, this month I'll share some of the feedback I
received from last month's article "Why That Amp?" If you
didn't catch it, the article listed the ten things that I
believe are responsible for a guitarist selecting a particular
amp that provides their signature tone. Response to the
article was lively and insightful. And it was as varied as one
would expect when the topic is as subjective as guitar amps
and the tone they produce!

When I started to look into playing slide in standard
tuning many years ago, like 30 or so, I began looking at the
fretboard in a new way. What I started plotting out were all
the places notes line up 'vertically', in other words 'across
the fretboard'. The reason, of course, is that the slide can
really only play notes that line up in a straight line.

Here is something new for this month. We all suffer in one

Most guitarists, when in their formative years of learning
and playing, tend to focus on learning chords. Lead guitar is
often something that comes later on, as you need to understand
how harmonies work over the existing backing chords. Now,
within lead guitar there are two main types of learning - the
physical techniques (such as hammer ons, bends, vibratos etc.)
and the theory. The first step with the theory side of lead
guitar should be to get a basic understanding of scales.

The new EASTWOOD model captures the seductive look of the
original but simplifies the design with a Set Maple Neck
mounted to a hollow body with Maple center block, Mahogany
back, sides and a spruce top. The guitar features the
distinctive cat's eye f-holes giving it an unmistakable look.
The original Messenger guitars are now selling on the Vintage
market in the $5-$10,000 range. The new EASTWOOD model starts
at only $849.
