Richard Lundmark: Suhr Modern Custom Red Drip

Stumbled across this competition in a forum and thought the track was pretty happening! Has been years since I entered something like this (last time I felt compelled was for the Greg Howe ones). Couldn't resist the groove (nor the prices ;) So, check it out and happy competing guys!

Richard Lundmark: has a new blog covering guitar insights

“Open blog post to Scott1793”

Reading a question from one of our members, Scott1793, got me thinking, and prompted me to write this blog post.

Scott’s question was short and simple “What is the best way to train your ear so you can play what you hear in your head instantly on the guitar??????”

I want to address this “answer”, or rather my thoughts on the subject, to Scott, and everyone else that might have this problem.

First thing Scott, if you can't sing what's in your head, there's little chance you'll get it out through your fingers so to say. SO, one initial exercise would be to practice improvisation over more melodic backings (such as those on gilmourish.com) and SING every little thing you play. Step by step, your ear will improve, and the gap between what you hear in your head and what you play will narrow.

Of course there are many other steps and measures to be taken. Timing and note value alteration is a KEY concept to be able to accurately "translate" what's in your head. It will act like a focal point for your mind as well as your practical playing. You see, in the formative years as we strive to play "what we hear in our head", one of the big problems is that what we actually hear is so out of focus and fragile. Let me ask you a question Scott

Richard Lundmark: Egnater super demo!

Richard Lundmark:

This Egnater rebel 30 half stack arrived in time to start off the New Year, so I decided to record a demo of it. The demo is very long (30min+) so get yourself a large cup of java and get ready for an excessive amount of “Swenglish” and guitar noodling =)
I’ve demoed the amp miced up, used the built-in recording out, and also used line out into impulse responses. Furthermore I’ve used the Leqtique OD pedal and a PRS513 and 1971 LP. Check out the video info for further details. You can either click the image on the left to go directly to the clip on YouTube

Excerpt Metal Fusion Clinic at Metal Galaxy

Richard Lundmark: cool clinic nu fusion soloing

Richard Lundmark:

Hi guys,
did a short clinic today at a local metal festival.
I've uploaded a excerpt from this clinic, where i discuss developing and soloing over scale chord voicings in modern metal fusion
(ala Meshuggah). The vid is in Swedish, but I added a short resume in the beginning so you'll know what I'm doing.
Gear for today was:
PRS 513 -- Boogie Studio Pre -- Macbook Pro and Apogee -- Redwirez cabinet impuls responses (Boogie w. V30s/SM57 Cap Edge -1).
Everything went out through a pretty low-end PA-system but what the heck, the kids liked it, that's all that matters!

Tom Quayle: genius

Tom says:

Here's the start of the melody (!!) to one of Alex Argento's tunes from his album Ego. I'm not sure who's playing it originally. It could be Marco Sfogli - not sure. Maybe someone can clear that up for me.

I'm still working it out but this is what I have so far. Such an amazing tune and album! Check out the original!! How do people write stuff like this?

Then follows a flow of comment from Richard Lundmark and Tom

Richard: Hey Tom, great playing as usual. Just wish you'd had the voluem a bit louder as to not have so much string-flapping going on =) Indeed all guitars on this tune is Sfogli. However, the more advanced fusion guitar-extravaganza solos on this album is all played by Leo Fabrizio [Bicio] (who is even a bigger freak on guitar than Marco lol). I got a copy from Alex, were all the info is. Alex is a great musician and player. I'll be hiring his guns for my next album for sure!

Tom: Hey Richard! Thanks for that. I have retired people either side of my house so volume is a bit of an issue. Shame cos I'd love to crank my Boogie. :-( I've briefly checked out Fabrizio before. He blew my mind! Man I wish I could play like that! I'm hopefully doing some collaborations with Alex soon too. Can't wait! He's such a huge influence on me. Looking forward to hearing your next album!

Richard: hehe, that sucks :) I have an old russian woman next door that comes down and complains whenever I crank too much. However, Close-micing can work. Also, have you considered trying a H&K red Box pro or something like that? To get a speaker simulator and line in to your soundcard?

Tom: Great idea. I'll look into that. I have a H&K 20th anniversary tube amp with a red box built in but it's died on me a while ago. Hence the Boogie. I should get it fixed. It's a nice little amp. Man, I just checked out Fabrizio Leo's solo on Embrace the World again. That guy is just insanely good!

Alex Argento - Genius

News: guitar idol honourable mentions - the ones that got away!

News:
09-06-2008:
Only a few days away now until the grand finale! Tension is building. James over at alloutguitar.com has posted some honourable mentions!! I know if I was doing this list it would be many pages long. Some great talent and great players, some great songs and great techniques!

MattRach
Judges Comments:

What can we say about Matt? A great multi- instrumentalist and Internet legend already, Matt was only a 100 or so votes behind Gustavo Guerra in the Peoples Choice and is clearly an exceptional talent who was shortlisted by several of the judges. It was felt in the final analysis, though, that his particular entry didn’t show his undoubted skills in the best possible light… However we all think that he is a genuine talent – and with his massive army of supporters is almost guaranteed a place next time!

Cesar Huesca
Judges Comments:

This Mexican guitarist won plaudits for his great sense of touch, phrasing and tone – and this coupled with great chops meant that Cesar was always going to be in the running. His choice of entry was picked up on, as it was felt by many that he didn’t show himself in his best possible light, but remember he followed the true spirit of the competition by using one of the backing tracks, as Ed Box comments: “…the other of my track interpretations, and a favorite of mine! Awesome diminished lick at the end, which I will probably steal!” Next time Cesar we expect you to be there!

C.E.L.T.A.
Judges Comments:

One of the very first entrants, Celta was a front runner with his excellent blend of prog and metal. A great guitarist and compositionally very strong, we all hope that he will be back in August!

Lavaman
Judges Comments:

What a player! Great rock/metal chops and a great, well constructed track: ultimately it was felt that he was a little too close to Mr Vai, but nevertheless gained many votes from the judges and in the end just missed out… As Ed Box comments: “This song is cool and quite evil. I wouldn’t want to mess with the Lavaman!”

Matias Kupiainen
Judges Comments:

A great sense of swing and fun in his track captured the judges attention: this Finnish virtuoso possesses world class chops, great timing and simply put in a totally professional performance! Like a freaked out Steve Morse with his groovy chromatic runs, Matthias figured in at least a couple of Judges Top 12, but just missed out. Next Time…

Mark Gibson
Judges Comments

:A textural and interesting entry – but many felt that there was not quite enough ‘real deal’ playing to warrant a Top 12 place: it was almost too atmospheric and production focused to work in the Live Final. But with great instances of superb Shawn Lane/Eric Johnsonesque playing, Mark must enter again!

Conrad Harpham
Judges Comments:

A simply phenomenal guitarist – this colossus from the West Country is a truly scary player, who covers many technical styles at will and was shortlisted by several judges including Owen Edwards. Edward Box was also impressed: “Conrad is a top fusion/rock player and I particularly enjoyed his arpeggio burn out! Expect great things from this man!“

silvio gazquez
Judges Comments:

Silvio earned enough points to be invited to the final but couldn’t make the trip. Silvio was deemed an example of a true Guitar monster along the lines of Shawn Lane, Todd Duane and similar: unbelievable technique and genuinely different, and with his effortless command of the instrument this guys time in the guitar limelight is surely guaranteed…

Dimitar Nalbantov
Judges Comments:

Dimi was the highest scorer of all with the judges, but due to personal reasons couldn’t make the final. Quite simply the most melodic and epic playing of the contest: Dimi was the front-runner from the beginning and we all hope he can make it next April…

Richard Lundmark
Judges Comments:

Richard is a highly respected master guitarist and several judges had him rated very highly indeed. This track had elements of Greg Howe’s early Shred Blues album brought bang up to date, with state of the Art advanced rock and fusion chops – Richard is very much the complete package. Could quite easily have been top 12!

Oziel Zinho
Judges Comments:

A perfect example of melodic rock guitar with world class chops and superb, tasty, phrasing: in the end Oziel’s track didn’t get enough points – despite being first choice for at least a couple of the judges!

Ricardo Walls
Judges Comments:

A great off the wall performance from this jovial guitar nutter, his brand of neo-classical guitar mayhem won many friends and again was very close to making the grade. We all felt that he would be supremely entertaining live – so we hope to see Ricardo again! We leave the final words to Edward Box: “I absolutely love this guy and my mates and I have had a great time watching this and his other youtube appearances but Ricardo is more than just a comedian, he has great technique and was one of the most exciting entrants. Lollipops rule!”

This is part 2 of my Elmwood Bonneville 50 Demo.
This part contains improvisations with all three guitars.
I've added some slight effects to the sound here, but no eq or anything like that, trying to keep it pretty raw. But stay tuned for more vids, where I will be tweaking the amp even more, with more different guitars, such as my Flaxwood's.
