It is hard for me to rail in my creative juices, as I enjoy writing, not really a two sentence guy, so this newer abbreviated format is something to get used to

.
Basically what is happening on the Malmsteen scene at the monent is awaiting the new album and then following tour.
Also for you die hard Malmsteen dilettantes, we hear the maestro is planning on buying a new Ferrari, so we can only quess what that will be.
The factory should
give him one, gratis, for all the free advertising he has given them over the years, Ferrari stickers on his guitars and rack, ect.
There has been much buzz about clones of the 1971 MK II era 50 watt, the 'Malmsteen Edition' signature head, I pretty much alienated myself at malmsteen.org/forum (hard to believe I know

), secondary to my relentless advocacy of George's Metro amps, it seemed simple to me, buy the best you can, it is a no brainer to us, but there has been a change of the guard recently there, so I am pretty much staying away and I feel the scheme of things is pushing me to do my own thing, perhaps doing some more professional writing, once I learn how to type correctly, I did get an A+ in College English in nursing school, and hope to reeducate my self, that was over 12 years ago though.
The deal with me is, it is hard to accept a Marshall/Metro that requires pedals, but for exacting Malmsteen tone, that is a prerequisite.'Metal front heads sound fairly well on their own as well though.
A lot of these Malmsteen hard core guys, want heads to come with PPIV or even London Power Scaling to come on board, so dream on.
Basically there is technique, which is the hardest thing to buy

.
But there is definitely a resurgance in 50 watt interest across the board.
