  1. While I appreciate EVERYONES contributions to the thread, I'm tired of the politics. Just sick of it.

    The OP was to compliment Mr. Samuels on some incredible writing. As I said, whether or not you agree with his opinions, it was a masterpiece of writing of a true legend.

    No, I don't think Neil's writing  is quite on the same plane as Bob Dylan, and as mentioned, his electric guitar work is sloppy in my opinion. With bad tone.

    Most of my early musical hero's have differing political opinions as I do now, but I can still enjoy their early works as I did at the time, when we weren't so damned touchy.

    Carry on.

     

  2. While I'm a huge fan of Neil Young's acoustic work, it's no secret I will change the station, push a button, twist a knob, whatever it takes to clear the air if he grabs that damned Les Paul, or gets near an amplifier. I'm no fan of Neil plugged in. I love his other work though. A lot.

    I ran into this the other day and thought I'd share it with you all in the Acoustic Forum.

    Whether you like his thoughts or not, David Samuels is a helluva writer.

    Sounds very cool , my point , which perhaps I wasnt articulate about , was why some guys swear by a speaker rather than a pole/column system ... when the poles are designed specifically for solo acoustic performers. 

    Does an amp have something over these pole/column/array systems that I dont know about ?

    Have you tried using a column system and didnt like it ? 

     

    I think  players using effects, compression, distortion, delays, loopers and such an amp is preferred. I think you can get more PUNCH from an amp.

    I've gotten to where I want a totally clean acoustic guitar sound and I think that's one reason I'm drawn to the Bose units. And the vocals sound better to me.
