Have slowly but steadily amassing the effects for my dream pedal board, which I really don't have a pedal board as I don't play out or gig...yet I am honing my chops and have many possible setups with the rigs I have to cover a huge guitar spectrum.
Hope to get to jamming with other old guys..lol
I know I have something to say and feel that as of these days I have really dialed in my gear to cover all the sounds in my head.
Having my friend in Florida sending mega rare boots on CD and soon cassettes to redub I have been hearing Hendrix I haven't ever heard before which is giving me divine inspiration as it were.
I feel out of the last 20 or so years that I am in the best space mentally and playing wise to go for it..
Have the old 60th birthday coming up on August 11 so the rays of the sun in a new dawn are a distinct possibility for this olde soul.
The old psoriatic arthritis has been letting up on my hands and wrists which has been really exciting for me.
I had always dreamed of being in an old guy band doing
our music without commercial interruption and this is a real distinct possibility for the elderly yngwie308.
Even back in my various UK setups and my MG supplied Pennsylvania era basketweave cabs and my 1992 '67 Black Flag Super Bass and my '73 metal panel and '66JTM-45 with EL-34's, I feel that my current rig, the 2005 Marshall 1959HW massaged by George and my killer 1982A Metro True Replica 4X12" cab with the world class G12H-75 Creambacks I am not wanting for anything on my setups as it were.
Now it's practice practice..I haven't felt so rejuvenated in years and now my bipolar disorder is being controlled I find that my creativity has reached a new all time high.
My enthusiasm outstrips all my previous frustrations and I really am enjoying all the gear I have carefully assembled.
God is good to me and I am a lucky, lucky fortunate son.
I feel that I am at the stage to be more creative and start working on my own things with my influences of Jimi, Beck, Bolin Malmsteen and recently I have rediscovered Gilmour and enjoy his blues based playing and phrasing.
I am starting to enjoy my musical endeavors again.
Being disabled as I am I have found ways to constructively manage my time and feel young again. IT's not over till the fat lady sings and I'm not letting her on stage yet.
I have considered playing guitar with my churches worship team, just have to brush up on my chordal sight reading.
The past few years the arthritis has been controlled by the wonder drug Enbrel and it has given me renewed hope.
Thanks to all my friends here at Metro Amp forum, my true home on the Internet and so much love the world George has tirelessly created for us here.
I am in love with the electric guitar again and what a blessing it has been. I am so grateful to still be able to play, maybe not as fast as before but I have learned new styles to accommodate and that has kept me going.
All praise to our Lord but I must give a shout out to my incredible wife of 14 years Helen whose love and support has enabled me to keep pressing on when it felt hopeless at times.
Thanks to all the support from my friends here and George. I can't thank George enough for creating the wonderful Metro world, a true home for discerning players everywhere!!
Rock on lads
Dave (yngwie308)
but they do not sustain like the Muff plus the Muff's are much more complex.
