THIS IS THE BEST OF CONGOLESE RUMBA! That’s Lokassa ya Mbongo himself behind Malage…Ngouma Lokito is on bass…Shiko Mawatu playing lead guitar, Isaac Katalayi on drums, Mbuta Masamba on congas. It’s late on a Saturday night at African Stand in Newark, New Jersey (about 20-minutes from midtown Manhattan New York City). The Congolese, Kenyan, Tanzanian, Nigerian, Cameroonian and American crowd is in the mood, and one of Congo’s greatest vocalists has come to town… Malage de Lugendo has flown in from Belgium and he is tired – he came straight from the airport to sing this gig! But wow can he sing… Rumba newbies can learn more about this music at africambiance.org and at tribes.tribe.net/soukousguitar

This is the second part of Bandmaster 1. See all of my videos. I’m playing my 1963 Telecaster. I will show more of this guitar in another video. Hopefully you can hear that the real vintage Fender sound is a big clean sound with lots of bass. I think that is what is lacking in all of the overdriven sounds today. You need a big clean sound as your foundation and you can do anything you want from there.

Frehley spent the early 1970s in a series of local bands. In late 1972, his best friend, Bob McAdams, spotted an advertisement for a lead guitarist in the Village Voice and showed the ad to Frehley. Both McAdams and Frehley went to 10 East 23rd Street above the Live Bait Bar. Frehley auditioned for the trio of Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (bass guitar) and Peter Criss (drums). Frehley (who showed up wearing one red sneaker and one orange sneaker) was less than impressive visually, but the band liked what they heard from his playing. About three weeks after Frehley auditioned, the new group named him their lead guitarist. By January 1973, Wicked Lester decided on a new name – Kiss. Frehley designed the band’s unique, double-lightning-bolt logo. The band quickly decided to paint their faces for live performances, and Frehley decided to start painting silver stars on his eyes. When the group eventually decided to adopt stage personas to go with their makeup designs, Frehley became “The Spaceman.”
The SpacemanWhile Kiss spent their early days rehearsing and playing in empty clubs, Frehley took a job as a part-time cab driver to pay his bills. In September 1973, Kiss began to receive a salary from new manager Bill Aucoin that paid each member $75 a week. This enabled Frehley to quit his job.
Kiss released their debut album, Kiss, in February 1974 Frehley’s sole songwriting contribution was “Cold Gin”. Due to Frehley’s lack of confidence in his own singing voice, however, the vocals were performed by Simmons. Frehley wrote or co-wrote several of the band’s songs over the next few years but didn’t record his vocals on a song until “Shock Me” (inspired by his near-electrocution during a concert in Lakeland, Florida), which appeared on 1977’s Love Gun.
As lead guitarist, Frehley was known for his frenetic, atmospheric playing, becoming one of the most popular guitarists in the 70s and spawning a generation of new players. Indeed, Frehley stated in the book Kiss: Behind the Mask that many guitarists have told him his playing on 1975’s hit Alive! prompted them to pick up the instrument. Frehley is well recognized for using Gibson Les Paul guitars, including his trademarked model conversion Cara Guitars which filled the stage full of smoke during his live guitar solo.
According to Gene Simmons in Kiss Behind the Mask, Frehley was drunk most of the time on tour, except for on stage.
Along with the three other Kiss members, Frehley released an eponymous solo album in 1978. His was the best-selling of the four, and the album’s lone single (the Russ Ballard written “New York Groove”), originally recorded by Hello reached the Top 20 in the United States.
Frehley’s songwriting presence within the group increased in 1979, contributing two songs for 1979’s Dynasty and three for 1980s Unmasked. While this was not the best time for Kiss on a commercial level in the United States, they were only just beginning to take off in other countries (mostly in Australia where Dynasty and Unmasked are their highest selling albums). But even as his songwriting role within Kiss was increasing, Frehley found himself increasingly at odds with the musical direction of the band. After Peter Criss left Kiss in 1980, Frehley was often outvoted 2-1 in band decisions, as replacement drummer Eric Carr was not a partner in Kiss and had no vote. Frehley’s participation in the recording of 1981’s Music from “The Elder” was far more limited than with previous albums. This was, in large part, due to his unhappiness with the band’s decision to create a concept album rather than a straightforward rock album, and also, by Frehley’s own admission, his “not relating all that well” to producer Bob Ezrin who cut many of Frehley’s solos from the recorded tracks.
Exacerbating the situation was Frehley’s escalating erratic behavior and substance abuse. In April 1982, Frehley was involved in a serious automobile accident (drummer Anton Fig was the driver). In May, he led police on a 90-mph car chase on the Bronx River Parkway. This incident led to a $600 fine and a six-month suspension of his driver’s license. Although Frehley appeared on the covers for 1982’s greatest hits album Killers and studio album Creatures of the Night, he had no involvement with Killers, and minimal (no musical) input on Creatures of the Night. Frehley’s last appearances with the band were the video for “I Love it Loud,” a series of European promotional appearances in November 1982 and a band interview with MTV in early 1983 promoting their world tour.

There are already some reviews on this guitar but most of them are about lead playing and blues. Let me be the first to do a review about how this guitar holds up for playing classic punk rock.
I hope that you all can follow my horrible English. It’s the first time that I do a video like this so please show a little mercy:) Non-relevant comments and flaming will be removed lol!
It’s a great guitar and very well capable of playing punk rock. It sounds and plays better than my ex-Gibson SG Standard. In the hands of a skilled guitar player (which I am definitely not) the tonal options are endless.
Amp: Marshall MG50DFX (dirty channel)
Gain: 4
Bass: 7
Contour: 5
Treble: 9

Yes, folks!!
A resonator guitar with NO resonator…
Haha, way back when the shiny Nationals were THE loudest guitars you could find and Dobro started making their guitars some other builders wanted a piece of the action!
Patents stopped them from using an actual resonator cone, so they put a coverplate on the wooden top and simply painted it silver beneath the coverplate, haha!!!!
This is great fun and the tone is really nice, long sustain and a round tone, not too much bass and volume though….
A piece of history, a poor musicians cool reso-guitar!!

So this is the complete demo of the great MORLEY POWER WAH FUZZ. Amazing wah pedal, good for sweeping moreso than funking. That quick funk wah sound isn’t so good distorted, but its good clean. You could get a dunlop for that. I love this pedal, I don’t use the fuzz cuz I already have bass fuzz, it’s cool on guitar tho. I’m running double distortion, one pedal before one pedal after. Watch the wah intro to get the lowdown on that.
