What does he like? Interests? Hobbies?


Hi,

He is mad into music....plays guitar and sings

click to expand

Tickets to one of his favorite bands-the more in house, the better 😉.

Sorry I just realized this is on the Sag forum. Have to say I love Sags. My best friend is a Sag and I work with quite a bit. I find them to be positive and bubbly.

Ask him what he'd like - perhaps what he could use, right now.

Electric Guitar?

A tube amplifier, perhaps?

I play a Black Fender American Standard Strat with maple neck.

I had recently sold my '56 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop, with P90 pickups.

It sounds too similar to the Fender.

(A Les Paul with Humbuckers would be a better alternative to the P90, for

added tone options in the artist's pallet)

I currently play through a 40 Watt Fender Blues Deluxe RI. It's good, but I'm thinking

I may let it go.

If he plays electric, might share the link below with him.

This is a pretty sweet little tube amp for the price.

It uses vacuum tubes which is the only way to get real classic guitar tone.

It's all about tone. This particular model uses the EL84 tube or "valves", if you're across the pond, living in the land of lime.

😉

You can also add effects pedals to tweek and shape your tone.

You can play it through a speaker or play silent and go through DI box

into the computer and record your work in the middle of the night.

VERY versatile.

Jimi Hendrix played a Fender Stratocaster through a Marshall 100

He used a vox Wah pedal.



Here, on Machine Gun, he is using a fuzz pedal. This recording was made

Live. That's how good Hendrix was.



Eric Clapton is another Strat user



As does David Gilmour. Here, starting at about 2:26 in this clip he

accompanies Richard Wright, who playing the keyboard.





George Thorogood plays an Gibson ES-125 with P90 pickups



Here, Slash plays a Les Paul with humbuckers in these two iconic songs.

PS, Star...

Remember, he's also a Scorpio Moon. - not 100% Sag.

Music is an art and music has to do with emotion.

Looks left.. looks right...

Crooked grin...

You know how we Scorpios are.

Stereotyped killers and victims who keep coming back.

(if you look carefully at the license plate on this Cadillac, at the end of clip, you see... 51-U342)

Numerology : 51/6-U3/6 and 42/6 = 666



Does this musical style appeal to him?? Does he play that way?



Or does he like this style and play this way?



Perhaps a mix of both—

Perhaps something like this?



mixed with this?





Or is it just me?

Is it that time flies or am I the one doin' the flyin'?

Thanks Mr F....he is a guy in our son's class so i wouldn't be buying him a guitar etc, but appreciate your input and videos. I used to headbang to Sweet Child O Mine 😛. Loved the hip movements Axl used to do lol

🙂
Every time I hear that song, I hear this line:

"she has eyes of the bluest skies"

"and toothpaste on her brain".

When you don't hear so good... you hear the strangest things.
