Re: Good guitarists getting bad advice...The update after the gig... well I'd love to say that everything was better after we put 2,000 pax in the room, but no. The case lid went away so the Beaming Laser of Licks was back. The artistic issue for me, is that the player was good and he obviously was spending a lot of time with his sounds... and by themselves I think he had some great stuff. When combined with the star's rhythm guitar and keyboards it just didn't fit, tonally, and there wasn't much I could do about it for a chunk of the audience (hearing the stage wash). I also had more cymbal bleed into the star vox mic than I had at rehearsal.Oh well, nobody got hurt, we all got paid. On to the next day in paradise...
