When can we Expect some more Lessons from you?

Hello Slammer!

Im hoping beginning of september, ive got alot of work on at the moment, but i am hopefully doing a collaboration soon so that should keep you going?!!

Im a music student at uni so i still have some work left over, which explains the delay i hope !

Sorry to keep you waiting!

-Ben

Cool, can't wait!

I'm also looking forward to more lessons from you Ben...that E9 Vamp lesson is really cool...reminds me of Steely Dan. The tricky part of the lesson is not that it is too technically challenging...just enough...but its the phrasing and timeing(especially since there is no guitar pro tab) that's giving me the challenge. But the challenge is good. Getting caught up in technique is not so helpful if one's phrasing and timeing aren't developed properly.
peace.

I also really enjoyed and learned alot from that lesson.

Cant wait for more lessons.

Hey Bart and Robin,

Thanks for your kind words.

I have another lesson on the way in a different format, but it will be explained soon!

All the best,

-Ben

Ben
Your killing me here having to wait fo your next lesson .I need your Jazz/Fussion lessons to help me mix all these styles into what will be my own style I'd really like to here you rip on the guitar one lesson and show what you really got,cause i know you gotta be awesome

The E9 Vamp lesson was bloomin awsome!!!

Thankyou Matt-I hope to do many more similar topics!

Hows the hunt for the Overdrive going?

hi Ben!!
Great, i settled on the Keeley Electronics Boss DS1-Ultra - http://www.robertkeeley.co.uk/distort_ds1ultra.htm

This pedal is really awsome - I came across it by chance. They completely rework the pedal and add there Ultra mods!

Heh, I just got one of those too Looking forward to playing with my tube amp to see how it alters the tone.

Nice one Matt-Glad you got what you wanted!

The keeley pedals have a great reputation so its good to hear they live up to it!

How is it different to the normal one?

-Ben

In sooo many ways Ben little to zero extra noise so no hissing, no "fizz" which i found really annoying with stock pedals. The sound i can only describe as bloomin awsome!! on the "seeing eye" setting you get a fantastic rich tone - every note stands out clear and its very musical sounding.

On the ultra mod its a killer FAT tone, it just howls and screams - awsome!

Its definatly the right perscripton for use with a tube amp - when i overdrive the amp naturally and use the pedal your in for a shred fest!!! I like to go bananas with my tapping paul gilbert style and it sounds great! bends and vibrato never sounded so clear whilst destorted,

Needless to say im saving up for the Keeley TS9-808 which is very pricey but i reckon worth it !! I will probably run that pedal and my fantastic DS1 in tandem for hotrod tones!



your going to love that badboy I can see andrew now rocking away

Haha look slike a happy camper then!

I havnt tried one out unfortunately, would love to try one, especially for all things 'rock'!

Glad you got it sorted, did you get yours used or new?

-Ben

Yea - big welcome to the Keeley Pedal owners club Matt .

And Ben - definitely get a Keeley - whichever one, all the ones I've tried are great .

Cheers,
Tony

Cheers,
Tony

Haha Tony-I expect i shall do at some point, especially for rock playing.

They get great reviews all the time so they must be worth lookin at, i hope they dont sound tinny and thin like alot of Boss pedals do to my ears.

-Ben

I bought it new from keeley direct! they were very helpful, and responded in no time. I really CANT WAIT to buy the Tube screamer!!

Dont think boss anymore - think Keeley! they replace all the cheap components with high quality stuff, then add there own mods to it as well!!



Do i get a badge Tony?

Ah right i see-it sounds very interesting.

How interesting, il check the website to see further into what they do-perhaps ypou can post some clips matt?!

-Ben

Sadly no badge Matt - but you do get to wear a big smile every time you turn the Keeley on .

Cheers,
Tony

I get emails from Mr Keeley himself after every purchase - they are so nice to do business with!

As soon as i get my new amp back - i will do some clips for sure! Ive been waiting to do a reveiw as i wanted some experience with my new kit



Sounds good Tony
