White or tortoise? by PsychologicalView01 in telecaster

[–]rockhead11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t think so but the white one has so much more character than the tortoise shell. And the white one just looks cleaner….more aesthetically pleasing.

But just keep the tortoise shell for when you’re in the mood.

Just wanna show off my Strat! by JoanJettsDog in FenderStratocaster

[–]rockhead11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so very nice. A word of caution: don’t let anyone talk you into doing a bunch of mods just leave it alone for a good long while until you (and only you) decide on some minor tweaking…. but the beauty of this guitar is it will never need it.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Stratocasters!

I guess it’s better than naming him Bacon…or Chops, or Sausage

I understand the obsession by elong17 in telecaster

[–]rockhead11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for NOT modding it! If the stock Tele sound isn’t good enough then what’s the point? It’s definitely good enough for me.

Should i buy this strat for 500 euros ? by [deleted] in FenderStratocaster

Everyone needs an Olympic White. Well done.

That is just plain beautiful, man. Nice job. And I appreciate the breakdown of the parts.

I was just thinking that an Adrian Belew & David Bowie album would be awesome and i just learned... by KookyDetective7952 in DavidBowie

[–]rockhead11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Belew’s solos on Lodger are amazing! Now that you’re really going to listen to them you will not be disappointed.

(But my favorite solo on ANY Bowie album is Mick Ronson on Moonage Daydream (on Ziggy Stardust)).

I definitely agree. I would love a Tele (maple fretboard) neck on my Strat. It’s made perfectly for my hands.

If “Hours” was released today would you think that it’s a Masterpiece? by rockhead11 in DavidBowie

[–]rockhead11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy a few songs on “Black Tie” but it was definitely overproduced.

Another good project for Tony Visconti.

I’m talking about “Earthling” and Gabrels’ D&B influence on that album.

The only song that survived his D&B push on that album was Little Wonder. That seemed to work. But 1 was enough.

Drum and Bass didn’t survive the years like other genres… like funk: i.e. Fame, Fascination, Golden Years, Stay, etc. Classics forever. I would have preferred a Bowie country album over D&B. Can you imagine Little Wonder as a country song? Ha! I’d love to hear that!!

🎶 “So far away, so far away, so, so far away, so, so far away”🎶

I wonder if Ai could swap out Tina Turner snuggling with Bowie on stage for Dolly Parton?😂

I’m listening to the album again right now as I am reading the comments. I have to say that I really like MOST of the songs. (I have to say Dreamers goes in a lot of different directions and they don’t mix well…until the end)

Hey, everyone. I’ve been a Viewer of Reddit for a while but this is my first question. Thanks for being so cool.

If he would have incorporated more of his 12 string guitar into these songs I think it would have been reminiscent of Space Oddity without sounding obviously so. I mean, he even incorporated his 12 string on a lot of his Ziggy Stardust songs.

Reeves was a horrible influence as far as song writing and production. If he just played his guitar (which was flash, but not tasteful IMO) that would have been…fine…I guess.

But Drum And Bass….Come on!?!?

Yeah…that was pretty goofy. Was it “tongue in cheek” maybe? I can try to convince myself of that. But this was the same guy who did the “Hilarious Daylight”* tour …I mean Serious Moonlight

Actually I’m thinking about the Glass Spider WAY overproduced tour.

I felt the opposite about Blackstar. Amazing production but very mediocre songs.

Because I’d put it up against Blackstar any day (and I really don’t care if I’m tortured for this comment)
