I haven't played for more than maybe 20 minutes for the last year. I just haven't had the notion or desire to play. Recently I decided to push to play again and to make some changes. I've been gear hunting for a long long time, acquiring strange and unusual as some of you have seen in my other posts.
For my birthday this year, I asked for a Fortin Grind pedal for my board. High Gain Heavy Metal is where I like to park my butt. I got it all hooked up and started to mess with my amps. I've only tried it on the first one, my Crate BV120 and it is a BEAST! The pedal puts it into Freight Train territory. One thing I learned real quick was that as it tightens up a high gain amp, it also shows every playing mistake. I am going to have to practice a lot more.
I ended up playing for over two hours tonight. My fingers hurt from the exercise but it sure does feel good. I usually play along to a playlist on my phone, and I rolled through Megadeth, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Anthrax, Alien Weaponry, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine. My wife had to finally cut me off.
Life's good.
