The tone itself is excellent. His guitar was too high in the mix, therefor way outfront. Mids help you 'cut' yes but being out in front with a cutting
sound will only stand out like a sore thumb. The tone was unbelievable and had I mixed the show I probably would have made a similar mistake, its just that
good. But don't blame tone when the mix is whats at fault. Had he been 3-4dB lower on the fader it would have sounded even more unbelievably good than it
did.

If what you're doing isn't producing results it is merely an excuse.

I think you people are too partial to no mids at all. I for one really enjoyed the tone. I didn't think it was muddy, I thought it was creamy.
I guess it's not the typical blues tones but to each his or her own. I'm assuming he played that song because it's Conan's first week in California!

no pedal board, just a tuner, ts10, klon then aqua puss. I liked the tones too.

I just don't like the tone, plain and simple.
I love the original song and the concept was great of him to play it. I liked the choir a lot. I thought John's vocals were good. I really wish he had belted out the 'day' note on 'such a winter's dayyyyyy.' |

i think mayer needs to lose the TS10. that's his problem.

Yeah the TS10 might not be helping in the flatness department. My Keeley TS9 usually isn't used for that reason. I did find the tone a bit less lively than
WTLI. I have to say that IMO, the Where the Light is Tones are ridiculously sweet though. BTW, I also liked it better the second time and I got the impression
that it was probably pretty cool live.

I'm thinking it might have been better if he played a lot less rhythm guitar in it. The solo sounded right when it came in and the choir was really well
done. It was just the frantic rhythm playing that may have sounded awkward at times to some I think.

so back to my question.....anybody guess which amp he uses for which parts, I didn't realize that he even takes his dumble anywhere.
|
|||
erich |
|||
|
both were on the whole time. he didn't have an amp switcher, just a splitter on the two rock. he has been hauling his dumble since after WTLI.
|
|||
Relicman |

He used his SSS all last summer on his tour. He probably used the SSS for the solo and the Two Rock for the rhythm parts. Did someone mention they saw a Klon
there?

Here is my take on it:
I liked it a lot. I think California Dreamin was an appropriate song to choose for Conan's show in California. I didn't see too much wrong with it. liked the tone, and most of the vocals. let us not forget that this is the JMT's first true performance since WTLI. to all the people complaining about it, and whining that it could have been so much better...
The way I see it, is until you are up there with people you haven't played with publicly in at least a year, in front of a load of people on national TV, playing a song you don't usually cover, then kindly fuck off. okz, rant toally over kluvyoubye! |
