Re: Thick Strings
I just switched backto 9's. I was using 10's for many years. I agree though, the tone is much better the heavier you go. I switched back because I was just looking for a spankier tone, and more consistancy in my bends. Whenever I played a guitar with 9's, I sounded better and didn't have to fight the guitar. Moving back to 9's gives me a spankier sound, much sweeter bends, and no more fighting.Bluesbishop wrote:I agree with you Shane...Thick Strings do rule...great tone![]()
....But my finger can't take anything hevier than 11's myself...I have my strat and paul set up with 11's...I can't believe when I was younger I though 8's ruled..they just sound thin and weak to me now.

I loved my 11's while it lasted, but seriously, arthritis runs in my mom's family (age makes no difference) and sometimes it's all I can do to get my fingers to warm up and work. 11's were just aggravating the issue, so I had to back down to 10's. Better than irritating my joints to where I can't play, I'd go nuts if it wasn't for the guitar.
And funny you should mention, I dug out the movie "Roadhouse" a few weeks ago just to hear some Jeff Healey geetar-lovin'.

I usually answer to the topics in the off topic area, however right when I saw SRV in the title I backed off. Not that I don't like SRV, don't get me wrong. However, back when I was a young budding guitarist, my dad crammed SRV down my throat literally so after all that you kinda get tired of it all.
However, I do have to say Jeff Healey is ONE BADASS MUTHAFUCKA! Not only cause he plays blues, but he plays hard rock and the guy is blind!!! HOLY SHIT that's fuckin' talent!

Good Lord man, I feel for you!

Anyhoo, I recall an article about Healey from around the time of his See The Light LP, where he was using I believe a JCM800. I remember for sure he was using an all Boss pedal board (he had several - a couple of distortions, flanger, delay, EQ, chorus, and compressor) and a SQUIER, yes you heard me right, a Squier Strat with EMG pickups. I don't remember the exact model of EMG's or if they were active, but they were single coil sized and they were red. This would have been around '88-' 89 timeframe. The guitar was black, and it may be the one he is using in "Roadhouse" , but its been too long since I've seen it to remember.

Jeff Healey has a club in Toronto www.jeffhealeys.com
I hope to get over there sometime in the near future. He plays there himself pretty often.
