I’m very happy that today I have some free time to say “hello” again to the online guitar community and to all the readers of my blog. During the last three weeks I had big changes in my life and the most important one is that “I GOT MARRIED”. I also moved to another apartment and spent two weeks at the sea shore… the worst thing was that the wi-fi internet in the hotel I lived was 6$ per hour – at first I... 

Ok, I think that it’s time for me to make another review of a fuzz effect pedal. As you already know, this blog is about everything fuzz pedals, fuzzy riffs, solos and so on. So, today we gonna talk about the Dunlop Fuzz Face guitar effects pedal. First of all, I would like to mention the official Jim Dunlop web page where you can find lots of other information about their products, and the official page of Fuzz Face itself – it’s... 

Let me show you another classic hard rock guitar riff of mine. The most I like in this riff is that it has attribution to classic rock, funk and blues. I like riffs which can be used in different musical styles – just depends on how you will play it, the type of the distortion you will use and how much gain it will have. From my point of view the best choice is not to be so concrete and play it a little bit funky, with a blues sound and hard... 

I observed that in styles like hard rock, metal, trash – flageolets are used often as some kind of guitar effect. It sounds very strange and cool at the same time! Distortion will make your flageolets scream in a crazy manner – and that’s what you want, isn’t it? Closer to the subject. You will have to tune your guitar two tones lower – this will give your guitar an angry sound. The level of your distortion gain should... 

How many hours per day do you play your guitar? Usually, I play from one hour up to eight. It doesn’t mean that I’m doing eight hours a day different guitar exercises, it just depends from the work I have to do at the studio. But at the end of the day when I become tired and bored I begin to do lots of different experiments with my guitar – and you know, it helps me to get relaxed! Tuning the guitar in a different way gives me new... 

And now I propose you to learn one of my favorite groovy guitar rhythms. Turn your distortion gain on maximum and make your guitar combo scream as loud as it can! Your right hand should pick the strings in a heavy manner so that your listener should feel the energy of the riff. You know, I think that music is energy first of all, or at least I may say that every good guitarist should transmit some energy to his listeners with the help of his music...
