Had a bout with tapping today, quite fun, not exactly easy, but if you get the compressor set just right, all you have to do is brush your finger over the fret and it picks the note up real nice.

Luckily for me, I have my dad to help me out with the tone, I'm crap at tones, I just play the guitar. He's been playin' for 40 years, so I should hope he has all that wired. :D


It's not convinent, I want the damn thing back (and my '58 Les Paul which is in there too), but best let the techs run their magic.

Well, back to playing me Tele, lates all,

Dude, don't worry about the tone or even the quality of the recording. I just want to hear you play it. Practice it for a month(3 weeks more time than you said you could lay it down) and let er' rip. I'll be able to tell if your using the right effects or not, but I don't care about that. You could just play it with a sh*t guitar, straight into a sh*t amp.

BUT... if you really want to blow my mind and prove that I'm a dumba** by playing it note for note with a sh*t hot tone I'll let ya know EXACTLY how Eddie achived the Tone on Eruption: Use ALOT of reverb, high treble, go through a phase shifter and turn it all the way down and last, don't try the bar dive at the end because it's NOT a bar dive! He uses a delay peddle for the end effect.

If you play your telecaster(or any one of your 8 guitars) into pretty much any amp that's 60 watts or up with those effects you're set.

Hope to hear from you soon! ;)
