Joel Gregoire: grabs an endorsement from Hughes and Kettner!!

Joel Gregoire

****BIG ANNOUNCEMENT****
I am beyond excited to announce that I just got endorsed by Hughes and Kettner!! I fell in love with these amps when i first got to play and hear them in the mid to late 90's at Texas Music Emporium. As most of you know, I've been playing their amps going on 2 decades now and this is beyond a dream come true for me! I want to thank Laurence Bell and the entire Hughes and Kettner family for giving me this incredible opportunity and for adding me to their artist roster!! I also want to thank Hugh Meyer and Jim Jim Rod Capp at Texas Music Emporium for always believing in me and helping me!! ...to say I've been on an emotional roller coaster since last weekend is a huge understatement...losing my beloved Triamp mark 1 was devastating to me and i honestly was in a serious depressive state of mind...but many of you have shared my grief and my post on my lost amp and cab and i am forever grateful to you all!! I still pray it finds its way back to me and hope it does......

i received my brand new H&K Triamp mk3 last night and my mind is totally blown!! THIS IS THE BEST AMP I've ever heard!!! ...i cant wait for all of you to hear it the next time we play out!!!...thanks again everyone for your love, concern and support!!!!

“Proving himself to be a shredder of the highest order, guitarist Joel Gregoire is as fleet-fingered as Yngwie or Michael Romeo, yet -- to my ears -- is more adept at choosing the right amount of notes to employ at any given time”

Joel Gregoire: phrase construction II lesson

Joel Gregoire says:

Hi, and welcome to Phrase Construction. This is an essential part of soloing, for this is the topic you should think of the most when you are trying to create a memorable solo. Let's take a trip back in time and think of some of the greatest phrases on the guitar ever: Eric Clapton in his intro phrase on "Layla," Jimmy Page and his solo work on "Stairway to Heaven," Brian May of Queen when he did "Bohemian Rhapsody," and Tom Schultz of Boston and his solo work on "More Than A Feeling." These were all memorable solos that we can whistle as we walk down the street. It just takes a little more time and patience to do this. And with these exercises in this lesson, maybe it will help you in carving that unforgettable melody phrase.
