A video demo of me playing the Mojo Hand Colossus fuzz pedal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=atsOX4AcEN8 Nothing too over the top with the playing, just a few runs through of some similar chord and leads bits to try and show the different sounds you can get with the pedal. ]]> http://v4.owen.net.nz/mojo-hand-colossus-demo/feed/ 0 http://v4.owen.net.nz/a-jam-with-raf/ http://v4.owen.net.nz/a-jam-with-raf/#comments Thu, 28 Oct 2010 22:31:42 +0000 UberOwen http://v4.owen.net.nz/?p=934
I’ve just returned from a great week in Sydney.  While I was there I spent a couple of days with my friend Raf and we recorded a one-take virtual jam over a Robben Ford backing track “Help The Poor”.  I got to play on Raf’s most excellent “Catherine” guitar, which was a dream to play [...]]]> http://v4.owen.net.nz/a-jam-with-raf/feed/ 0 http://v4.owen.net.nz/a-quick-video-test-of-the-frankenstrat/ http://v4.owen.net.nz/a-quick-video-test-of-the-frankenstrat/#comments Wed, 15 Sep 2010 22:35:59 +0000 UberOwen http://v4.owen.net.nz/?p=918
I had a couple of minutes spare, so threw the camera in front of myself and did some noodling on the Frankenstrat. The lighting makes the guitar looking a much lighter shade of red than it actually is! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QYPLcAPPEY Amp is the lead channel on my Crate V30H through a Marshall VS112 cab.

Jon at Guitarnoize.com is having an ‘Anti-shred’ competition, it’s more about melody than flash, so I thought I’d give it a crack!  The backing track is a short, but very tasty, slow ballad-type progression and lends itself really well to big bends and sustained notes. Here’s what I came up with: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn5170Onbro The hat was a last minute [...]]]> http://v4.owen.net.nz/guitarnoize-com-anti-shred/feed/ 2 http://v4.owen.net.nz/namm-2010-guthrie-govan/ http://v4.owen.net.nz/namm-2010-guthrie-govan/#comments Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:52:04 +0000 UberOwen http://v4.owen.net.nz/?p=774

A nice version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow played using 8-finger tapping. I wish I could convince my brain to be able to play chords and lead at the same time like this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkjBGGp0uok ]]> http://v4.owen.net.nz/somewhere-over-the-rainbow-tapping/feed/ 0 http://v4.owen.net.nz/ibanez-introducing-the-js2400-joe-satriani/ http://v4.owen.net.nz/ibanez-introducing-the-js2400-joe-satriani/#comments Thu, 14 Jan 2010 22:21:50 +0000 UberOwen http://v4.owen.net.nz/?p=761
The new JS Ibanez looks pretty nice to me. Interesting choice of the Fast Track pickup in the neck, but makes sense with the extra couple of frets taking up the space where a humbucker would be www.youtube.com/watch?v=XttCY0mw6AI ]]> http://v4.owen.net.nz/ibanez-introducing-the-js2400-joe-satriani/feed/ 0
