I’m slowly getting to grips with Logic Pro and have got a backing track down ready for my first recording but got an injury at the moment so can’t play for a few days :o (

I will post a video once I’ve written the first track.

Thought I would share what an amazing little amp the Marshall MS-2 is.  I use it all the time at home now, when I’m feeling too lazy to plug my rig in I just plug this one in and off I go.

Powered by 1 9v, it’s got a really nice clean tone and when driven is great for lead stuff.

Continuation of my quest to find some great iPhone and iPod apps to help improve your playing.

This is a great idea, a way to help improve your knowledge of the fretboard.  It’s called Fretboard Warrior and can be found on the app store now, priced at £2.39 (GBP) or there is also a LITE version.

Here is the overview:

There are a wealth of guitar apps on the app store these days so I’ve started to go through and post my thoughts on the best.

PRS DGT = Vintage Vibe

I’ve been playing the PRS DGT for a few weeks now and what a guitar!

PRS DGT

PRS DGT

The specs are:

  • Old birds
  • Tobacco sunburst
  • 2 x DGT humbuckers
  • Coil tap
  • Maple top
  • Mahogany neck and body
  • Nitro finish

From what I’ve read I got lucky with this one as it’s quite rare to get old birds on the DGT, given most outlets stocked moon inlays and that the birds have now changed to outlines.

I wanted something that sounded vintage (50’s PAF’s) and was comfortable to me as I had already traded another guitar to get this one.  I am used to a Custom 24 so I knew I would be ok with this body shape.  The DGT body is a little thicker than the CU24 and the neck feels fatter, but not as fat as a 50’s Les Paul.  The other difference was the thicker fret wire, which makes bending a breeze and even on the 11’s that it came with I had no problems.

The first thing I did was to fit a set of 10’s and after a quick setup, it was playing like a dream.

In my opinion one of the best PRS you can get and with the option of the coil tap makes it really versatile.

If you are after a modern classic then check one out.
