Something new for guitar coming soon from IK

[reggie1979]

Very funny guys, please keep this going

Do we have to?

I was simply trying to be a decent dude. I know you have no sense of humor but it's not meant to be anything negative.

[reggie1979]

I'm really trying here. I'd expect the mods to understand, but doesn't seem like it.

Queen will forever hold a special place* for me, and I couldn't be happier to see Brian May's setup get modeled well.

*it involves a romantic interest and a simple comment, "Oh, so you like T-Rex and Bowie. Have you heard this? It was 1973, and this was Queen's debut album. Keep Yourself Alive was revelatory. The rest of the album was only baseball-bat-to-the-head-stunning. KYA was more than a song - it was a statement.

..not that my thoughts matter at all..but if you do the math, you'll determine I can also say, "Get off my lawn!" with authority!

Yeah, it's cool alright.

pretty much, I had been playing guitar for a couple years by then and came from a slightly different angle but pretty much the same, game changer for me. Same way too, a friend of my sister let me hear it and as soon as I could scrape up 5 bux I was off on my bike to buy it...fan ever since, but she described it as acid rock before she brought it over

That was the first Queen song I ever tried to play. I figured out how to play most of it but just could not get the sound right, or even anywhere near to it. Admittedly, I was working with a Strat copy and a mid-range Roland transistor amp, but I knew while I was working on it that it took something really special to get that sound.

(I think this was all around 1980 or 1981).

I was trying with an Alamo El Dorado with action so high if I had it today Nik Wallenda would want to film a reality show of him walking along the strings

Mine was a MIJ Satellite Strat copy. I bought it after going to the guitar store with a friend who played pretty well, so he gave me the run down on the quality of the guitars before I bought it. It actually played a lot better than it sounded - the pickups were just really vanilla sounding single coils, but I could get reasonable tone from the amp (a Roland that cost more than the guitar did - I got it cheaper than sticker price because of damage to the cab, but it was fine other than that).

Bit of a tangent, but I eventually got a friend whose dad had a small workshop at home to recut the body and pick guard so I could put another couple of pickups in there. I managed to get a DiMarzio Super Distortion really cheap (which I put in the neck position), and a no-name humbucker in the bridge position. I had a pretty decent range of sounds after that, but could still get nowhere near a Brian May sound...

[Hink]

mine probably wasn't all that bad when I got it, but well I've been me a long time ...I got it home, played it, went to my friend's house and we took it completely apart...probably should have waited until I had a clue...that was even before I went to the tech high school for machining/tool & die making

Warren Huart (Produce Like a Pro) did a video about AmpliTube Brian May. He's a huge Queen fan, so this wasn't a surprise on that front but he surprised us with the video itself yesterday:

You can tell he really loves it. I don't blame him a bit. Can't wait to begin my Queen tribute CD.
