All I have it say that the Ramones did a one note guitar solo and it was just as affective as a bajillion note Malmsteen 10 minuet solo.
Aside from that, over the years I have grown to love music for what it is and I rarely hate on any one band or act. I just walk by and shake my head as I hear 15 year old kids talking about how Tool or Skipknot are the greatest band ever and everything else is just crap.
I used to be one of those shit heads. Only I was heavy in the the early 90's death metal. ( Morbid Angel, Deicide, Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, ect...) and used to talk shit.
Now I listen to George Benson and Hall and Oats and ENJOY IT. ( yes I know I turned lame)

I think the Buzzcocks did the famous one note solo on Boredom. It's amazing.
I have been playing guitar for 6 years and I have no musical theory knowledge at all. I have no idea what a mode is. Just play what you feel and know the sounds your guitar can make to best portray these feelings. But hey, what do I know, I'm awful at guitar.
Great thread IMO

i've been moving around the internet for a few years now and this is the first Yngwie topic that went from bashing Yngwie to... anything else
they usually stay that way and there's always a really small percentage of people participated who don't bash him cause they like him
ILF... you surprised me again
(not that i really care, but it's kinda destroying the phenomenon)
i heard his DOD overdrive pedal is also really good - any experience with that?

There sure is a lot of anime in this forum. I don't know anything about anime or mango whatnots. Could we talk about this for a little? I loved Speed Racer when I was a kid and Pokemon. I wonder why this affection never went into anime... Do these shows have an overarching message that I would enjoy. For example, be kind to strangers. That's an awesome message. Furthermore, everyone is a stranger for you see, we all have secrets that keep us this way. Even further extended, yet in the opposite direction, everyone is together and one with our differences, for we are all different, therefore all alike. Than again I do love Asian horror movies...

A better and more poignant question... Why all caps?
Is it so nasty that it's probably somewhat of a travesty?
Are you having me daily total people?
If so, you can call me your majesty.
Just be sure to keep your battery charged.

I have his signature DOD YJM308 Overdrive and while it generally gives you a flavor of his sound, I felt it added a bit too much treble to the mix and it's very noisey. You need a noise suppossor like a Boss NS2 or something with it at high gain knob levels. It was supposed to be based on the old 70's gray DOD 250 Overdrive but for some reason they deviated with a couple part values that affected the EQ bias. You can read a little about the history of it on this Analogman page (
http://www.analogman.com/dodmod.htm) and the reason why some people like to get it modded, which is a fairly simple DIY task if you can work a soldering iron.
In my case the more I started learning about it I decided to make my own exact 'gray spec' 250 clone and leave my YJM308 original. I've posed about it in the DIY section here or you can read a little Google sites page (
http://sites.google.com/site/snmavronis/neoclassic) about my project. I love it and don't use my YJM308 any more. The gray spec circuit parts really give it a midrange tone that I like better, and it has way less noise which I don't know if that's from the way I built it or if the original pedal was less noisey too.
Also, there are 2 YouTube clips here (
http://sites.google.com/site/snmavronis ... 1overdrive) featuring my overdrive pedal (the bottom one is better to watch) being played by neoclassical guitarist Dean Cascione. When I was building my 250 clone I built an extra at the same time to give to him for free but ended up non-profit since he wanted to cover my parts costs and shipping for doing this for him.
At first I was thinking about selling copies but ended up deciding not to (because it is too much of a hassle to deal with sales and shipping woes) and I'm just going to publish all the information so other DIY people can build their own version if they want using my exact PCB board layout and everything. This reminds me that I should also post info there soon on how to mod a YJM308 with just a couple capacitor value changes or a full mod if you want to use the original spec 741 op amp chip; you'll have to re-wire some of the board to use a 741 since it has a different pinout than what the YJM308 chip comes with.
