Question , obviously you have been doing this so long now but do you ever experience pain or discomfort in the fretting hand if you are doing too much of the wide stretch soloing ? Not when playing specifically but later in the day or at night

No but I've experienced discomfort and pain due to issues with my shoulders & hips, especially when playing standing up or sitting for extended periods of time. I tore my rotator cuff right before we did the YJM Australian tour, which I followed up by going straight into a 9 week circus season playing 7 shows a week so that required some serious managament and rehabilitation.

Certain neck shapes and the way certain guitars hang on a strap have made playing for long periods live uncomfortable at times too. I've probably done more damage to my hands by holding cooking utensils at weird angles than I have from actually playing though!

Well, on the bright side, at least you didn't almost fully tear your pec muscle and think it was a great idea to have a Hell In a Cell match for almost 25 minutes.

@2112 -- Have you seen this before? This appears to be Nuno's 3 Sides tour settings/rig. Thought you might find a video idea in having this knowledge.

Thanks for that H&K Coreblade demo, @2112! Someone offered me one for my Bogner Shiva last night and I knew within a few seconds of watching your demo I wasn't interested. I could tell by the way you were talking about it before ya even started playing. I thought there'd be at least one redeemable thing about that amp, but I disliked it more the demo went on. Ugh.

I went back to my Shiva listing and removed the language stating I'll "entertain offers for other high gain heads" to "*Only* interested in trading for a Mesa Mark IV or V, no other offers will be responded to"

@Spaced Out Ace yes! I think it was posted on the old ADA Depot forum. I think I copied them out by hand at one point.

@DrewJD82 weird amp hey. At least you know exactly what you're in for with the Mark series \m/

After watching your 80s tones X88ir video I remembered this

This is so in tune with that .

Roope is awesome, his band Brother Firetribe are great too.
