Axploration ~ Chris Duarte Page Two

Equipment Chris takes us through his rig starting with his 4 amps and then his pedals. He shows us what each pedal does really nicely too. Its good. He is like a big kid and has some weird effects from years past. Next he talks about his '63 Strat which he's been playing during the lesson. Then he plays some great Hendrix style song he wrote and makes it look possible. Righteous guitar playing if you like Hendrix, SRV, John McLaughlin, Fusion and want to see the toys you need. Showing us that in its self is rare. A lot of lessons will leave that bit out to try to get you to come to their site and register and other manipulative practices.

Chris is delivering us some solid guitar know how and isn't, IMHO, in this only for the money! Money is nice but you cant buy feeling. Chris has feeling! If you like SRV definitely buy this. Lots of those kind of guitar tips here. Chris is from Texas I believe after all. He throws in Beck whammy things too more than once. Then he talks touring and on the road basics. Lots of good advice here if you are thinking of forming a band. He talks partying pitfalls, agents, clubs, radio stations, press, managers, merchandise and if and when you need one. This is great advice I wont spoil it. Bravo Chris Duarte!!!! Worthy!!!
