Paul Licks!

After resuming my guitar lessons, I've obssessed with another idol of mine - Paul Gilbert. No no, Paul Gilbert is not the president for any country nor a lecturer in any universities, but a guitarist!



He is like the next Slash. Or should I say on par? Therefore, a tribute for Paul, I've changed all the horny songs to his hit songs. Even Justin Wong changed his nick from "now saturate, THE EARTH"( a song from Chevelle - The Clincher) to "Paul gilbert-technical difficulties".



And for Yobi, I know you're still in NS, but if Nick Valensi wanna be a legendary guitarist, this is a mentor he should learn from besides other legends. Besides rocking with his electric guitar, he could even play the classical guitar! Although it was his first time doing so, but he nailed it hard!

His white Ibanez guitar is a charm! Simple yet retro! Besides that, you should check out his performance gear below.


Laney Amps! Don't play play!

Meanwhile, I bought a Rocktron Stopmbox - Distortion Rampage from Ironwood, Taman Mayang. And that baby costs me RM340.


This baby is actually a monster. By the way, people might ask:" What is a Stompbox?". A Stompbox is basically a pedal which can switch from a clean sound to distortion or vice versa by just stamping on it. The stamping features makes it unique compared to other pedal because for those you really need to press it gently with your foot.

I'd even recommended Justin Wong to get one. But, he said it's too costly to own one. Besides that, he even told me that he can call someone to help him press the distortion button when he wants to. *Zzzzz.... I can imagine how he's gonna do it*

The sound effect that came out from this Stompbox compared to the one from the amp is at a big margin. The Stompbox definitely provides better distortion and gain making it "roars" like a monster.

Here is a sample of tapping played by me with the Stompbox. * It's just a short sample, not the full version*
