Scott Hughes: Carvin TL60 - F Blues noodle - great stuff!

My new Carvin TL60. A really nice instrument, and the first 'new' guitar I've had in almost 15 years! Swapped out the stock Carvin pickups for Dimarzio Air Classics, which are better suited for what I like to play. Running through normal Blues Jr/BB preamp setup.

Jason Becker,Scott Hughes: 1989 AIM clinic - audio interview - total fanatics stuff!!

Special thanks to Scott Hughes!

Scott HughesHi all! I transferred this from an old cassette tape and thought some folks here might enjoy it, as material from Jason in his prime is so scarce. Jason himself confirmed that this was indeed from a 2nd clinic he did at AIM the same day as the famous video we've all seen. A lot of neat stuff here if you're a fan. Enjoy!

Audio from the 2nd clinic Jason did at the Atlanta Institute of Music in 1989. This came from an old cassette somebody gave me years ago. Since audio/video of Jason is so rare, I thought I'd put this up for others to hear. Audio quality isn't perfect, but surprisingly good for what I assume was a hand-held cassette recorder over 2 decades ago. Enjoy!!
