Hello to all out there in guitar dominion, this month's
column will I hope reveal some of the great secrets of some of
our favorite guitar players as well as dispel some
common misunderstandings. One of the greatest musicians of the
20th century was also a damn good guitar player, he stands
alone as a composer, instrumentalist and satirist beyond
compare. His name was Frank Zappa. Frank is still IMHO
the most underrated musician in the rock and roll era.

The wonderful thing about the world of design is that every
once in awhile you get to feel smug and sit back and say, "WHAT were they smoking?!" In the case of this 1965 Kay
K350 Titan I, I'm not sure but what it wasn't more a
confluence of circumstances that created this Frankenstein,
because parts of it are actually not that bad, and, to be
honest, the quality is surprisingly good. But other parts are
downright u-ugly.

One of the most difficult aspects of playing an instrument,
but THE most rewarding when you've figured out how, is the art
of playing solos. The ability to manipulate four octaves or so
of notes into a coherent melody, on the fly, following
(sometimes bending) the musical rules and pulling it off, is
one of the best feelings going.

The Short-Scale Bass is a versatile and wonderful
instrument. It packs enough punch to be used as a part of a
bassist's gigging set-up. Its shorter scale (anywhere from the
super duper short 25 7/8" of the Valco/National/Supro/Airline
pocket basses, to the 30" of the classic Fender Mustangs and
Musicmasters) makes it comfortable to play for beginners,
small-handed adults and guitar players more familiar with
guitar scale. Plus, a lot of very cool ones have been made
over the years.

Historic Harmony Stratotone gets a well deserved
UPGRADE
The Harmony Stratotone H44. For me, this is one of
the coolest blues/slide guitars ever made. Copper or
Black finish - short body with a FAT neck - just nothing like
it then or since. And for the longest time - 50 years - you could still snap one up for under $600 However, in the
past 12 months, the price has suddenly doubled to the $1,500
range. What the @%$*&!!K????

This month in My Rare NOTABLE is the new CD, ANTIDEPRESSANT from Lloyd Cole. I've been a Lloyd Cole
fan from the moment I heard Rattlesnakes in 1984. The
following year gave us the single Brand new Friend and
I've been hooked since. Hard to believe those albums could be
topped, but ANTIDEPRESSANT gives them all a run for the money.
Check it out. Lloyd Cole will be touring Europe and UK this
month.

Over the past four years we have managed to stay under
the radar screen of the industry. It's been fun. But this
month Michael Molenda, Editor of Guitar Player
Magazine, decided to tell his readership about the party
we got goin' on around here. Like they say, you can run, but
you can't hide. Don't worry, we won't change....
