Mick’s “worst piece of advice received” comment re “play what the people want” really resonated with me! I played in a covers/function/wedding band for 20 years, the money was handy but it led to me then taking a 17 year sabbatical where I sold most of my gear & rarely touched a guitar! I however rediscovered my passion in 2013 which has resulted in severe case of GAS 😂 but I now write record & play my own music which I never did before when I was gigging. I am loving it and your show has greatly contributed to my motivation & return to the fold, many thanks!👏👏👏🎶

As far as I’m concerned you can talk about production as much as you like. Nerds of the world, unite and take over!

Charlie Parker, widely regarded as one of the best, most influential musicians ever played like a mad-man. Utterly brilliant. To say that it lacked emotion is like doing a review of a book written in a language you don't speak.

Were you really told off for talking production?? Jesus. As I see it everything is part of this whole lovely, sharing and caring family experience being that pedal show. Good on you if you can arrange/afford some production assistance! Thank you for the vast inspiration as always. You are not taken for granted! Peace and love!

The last TPS vcq I saw led me to spend a week diving into an ACDC rediscovery. I never gave them a chance bc as a skinny music nerd, the guys who wore ACDC shirts usually threatened to beat the shit out of me if I so much as looked at them. Through a strange path, it also led to DLing the old Beavis and Butthead show that I had also dismissed as trashy 25 years ago. Jokes on me. Both ACDC and B&B are extremely good, full of absolute gems.

One thing's for, if you're not playing what the people want you BETTER be playing what's in your heart. Many do neither.

I got that mug for my birthday. It really is a fantastic beverage delivery device. It’s my favorite mug.

Hey guys! The guitar Nugent was using back then was a Gibson Byrdland. Have a great day and thank you for all of your hardwork!

Missed the show live, the Hiwatt has been moved into position!

Mick, I don't know if you've ever gotten into him, but I think Shawn Lane is probably the best pure guitar player of all time AND one of the most emotionally forthright, raw, and fearless. Any of the albums he did with Jonas Hellborg is just an otherworldly display of mindbending technique combined with a superhuman level of musicality and intensity.

The version of "Time Is the Enemy" on Hellborg's album of the same name might be the most thoroughly stunning 7 minutes of electric guitar ever recorded.

We've seen that Marshall Bluesbreaker combo lurking at the back for ages. I hope it's going to make an appearance on the show soon. Pretty pleeeeze!

@That Pedal Show... For Mick... check out the D'Addario Guitar Dock... small and portable solution to hold any guitar... clamps to any lip of an amp, cabinet, etc... even a mic stand... works like a guitar stand but hah other users like headphones &v extra, cables holder, etc. I have several and use them in place of stands in my studio room, gigs with small stages/spaces, etc. 😎🎸🤘

The doing what you love thing resonates with me. I play in an original band and have done for 20 years nearly. We are older and venues in my town are few and far between so live shows are a premium. We are looking at online videos more but tbh we just enjoy being creative and getting gradually worse hearing........

46:00….. I use a form of the TPS wet/ dry rig. I really like to put my looper just through one amp, so I can play my solos to it through the entire rig. The separation really helps me hear what’s playing through the loop as well.

Musicianship v musicality is, imho, is audience connection….emotionally connecting with whom you are playing for

Happy 50th Mick! I’ll get there in a few months (July). My plan had been to get a (birth-year) 1974 Tele but with mortgage and kids and this economy it just wasn’t to be. I’ll content myself as ever with my MiC Squier Classic Vibe 50 Tele. Cheers for the next 50!

I use the FX loop on my Amp for the same reason you would on the TS-1. I built a passive in/out box with switched jacks and wired it such that if nothing is plugged into Output 1 (the "pre" output) it routes the pedals I use in front directly into the pedals I use in the loop. This means I can just use the Output 2 (normally to FX loop return) as the main output and everything is now in front of the amp, in case I'm using that pedalboard in front of a backlined amp with no FX loop.

Of course this gets much more complicated with two amps...

Early on, I considered three stages of development are: student (never ending), craftsman (never ending), and artist (always essential component of motivation to grow beyond the craft). There is always an artistic element drawing anyone to study a craft . To stop there is to deny the very motivation. Relative quality of craftsmanship is not proof of artistry. Refusal to engage in craft development denies support of the art. Study is merely a processes of application of awareness of both the why and how that he artist seeks as compelling toward growth. There is no "arrival" but the process being allowed to slow to a halt is the continuously accompanying result of the deadening of compulsion. Keep "alive" alive.

I've bought several guitars in the past few years - always aiming for more versatility. These are ostensibly provided by a more various mix of pickups and wiring options. I've noticed that I still select the settings which provide for greatest clarity and balance of tone. I've tried to set the EQ controls on various amps to optimize the sound of each guitar within a very narrow range of adjustments. I have trained myself to 'hear" what allows for the "best" tone to my ear. I have also developed procedures for setting up guitars, amps, and pedals for the greatest amount of clarity without limiting the range of "raunchiness" each instrument can provide (with a minimal change in settings). I want each instrument to yield to my "touch" and respond to the "effort" I put into playing (from minimally light to noticeably firm). I have replaced any instrument which suggests an attempt to inform me how to pay it. This approach may be considered a disservice to the instrument but, whatever limited qualities each has had I have found within the more "flexible" replacements. This is how I get the most artistry with the least number of instruments (regardless of what amps are available).

Probably, from the very begging of playing, I had to listen while playing because I learned to play by playing along to finished released recordings (with no written music available). I would imagine either being a guest artist sitting in or the replacement for the one or two. When joining groups live, a singer who required I be silent while they were singing, I considered to be either unable to hear while singing or too egotistic to share. On a recording, I had to be as good as, if not better, in support of the song. It took me a long while to develop respect for the vocalist whom I considered just another instrument. After all, lyrics may come and go but the melody they carry in the words sung are their real contribution.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a special TPS edition of the Poly with Mick’s sounds loaded into it and Mick’s feedback to the designer sorted out? It would have to be … THE ROSIE!

Good afternoon from Oklahoma

NGD... Listening your show now and I visited the local op-shop and picked up this SG looking bass guitar. Logo is worn off but it says Coronet. It seems like a 1970s Epiphone Coronet so more than 50 years old. I will clean this and fix the electronics. It is going to be epic.

I recently watched a comparison on "Ask Zac" of top -loaded to thru-body string routings. I consistently preferred the top-loading as it had clearer harmonics and a broader less mid-focused: tone. I can always bump the mids and focus the frequency "Q" to my taste it the guitar doesn't do that before sending the signal. Oh , to Dan's comment about behind the ridge length to keep string wrappings off the hand I suggest using spacers in front of the string ball. That's not the "best solution" but a fairly easy "short term" one. Additional issues with top-loading Tele bridges are: access to allow for sufficient negative string angle to optimize downward pressure on the bridge saddles and allow range of motion for intonating. A replacement bridge addressing all issues is the ultimate answer and I'm fairly certain that does not yet exist.

My amp tech borrowed me early 70s Laney Supergroup 60. Like oh my GIDDY aunt, what a magical amp. Forerver endless headroom, harmonicaly rich sound. Sounds awesome both quiet and loud. Even as he (the tech that is) is amp builder, he said to me: I cant replicate that amp. I tried everything. I came like 90% there, but those last 10% are sooo huuge, that it makes me sad.

I love The Living End! Saw them in Milwaukee at the Rave with The Vines 15-20 years ago. A killer show and their bassist plays an upright so the whole band had mostly hollow instruments.

Analysis with concurrent observations (spatial display of logic) often affords the best chance for arriving at a viable solution.

I prefer top-loaded Teles. They have a very different feel and resonance than through-body Teles, but they're so good. The middle and neck positions have a bit more twang and sponger tone. Love it.

The difference between "vintage" and "modern" amplification is on a spectrum from organic to synthetic. The synthetic may be more usable and reliable but necessarily limited in character due to the narrowing of possible "flaws" (read "assets") of an organic system.

Dear Mick & Tom, I heard you guys both say that The Grateful Dead had completely passad you by with arms gesticulating a swoop over the head. I can understand why a lot of people can't identify with early 'Dead' music, but please please pleeeez just listen once to their 1970 masterpiece American Beauty... Trust me on this, All the best guys keep it up! Stevie G Scotland

8:55 I always thought of it as being an instrumentalist (the craft) vs/in combo with being a musician (the art). You can think of a composers instrument being the composition it self, the craft being things like forms, theory and alike

I always miss the live shows, but i was wondering if you guys have considered doing a show on pedals inspired by the interfax harmonic percolator. I know you guys seemed to like the land devices HP-2. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of pedals of this kind out there, though

Vintage guitars being the best examples you’ve played, Mick; you don’t need to believe old guitars were better built than new guitars for that to be not only true but likely. You just need to believe that they were more variable and the good ones were more likely to survive. Manufacturing is clearly better now; with CNC machines it’s not close. There’s a reason that Core-Tek factories in Indonesia and China are consistently producing really playable guitars in the £250-£750 range for Squier, Gretsch, PRS, etc etc etc. Old guitars are much less consistent and the bad ones were most likely terrible; less playable than entry-level guitars today by a long way. But; those are the ones which, on average, became firewood. The good ones stuck around; there’s selection bias - if someone is still playing a sixty year old instrument today it’s likely to be a really good one. There’s also familiarity. If the sounds you love were played on some guitar, and the sounds you want are those sounds, “improvements” aren’t, because they just don’t sound like what you wanted - they’re New Coke, not original formula. Meanwhile the Polyphia new-sounds gang don’t care, they’re playing Strandbergs through digital modellers, because they precisely don’t want Hendrix or Page tones. But their sounds will be classic to someone in fifty years! This has happened with other tones. 80s chorus - John McGeoch, Robert Smith, etc - and crunchy early digital delay has become part of the library of “classic” tones; shoegaze/stylized reverb is there too, now, and those are sounds of very little interest to someone who wants to sound like Keith Richards. My bet for which characteristic effect from the current wave will hit that library is “early Internet modulation” (Gen Loss, Lossy, Shallow Water, bitdepth reduction, etc). From the early 2000s it’s clearly the DL4 looper - and stylized AutoTune.

I consider the ergonomics associated with the Telecaster design as well as the bridge and saddle design to be "screaming" out for improvement.

Great musicianship is not critical to be a great musician. I think the critical factor is taste. An incredible musician with limited or poor taste isn't going to make great art, an average musician with great taste can absolutely make great art. Part of that equation for "taste" is the ability to convey meaning, but great musicianship isn't needed to do that. Jacob Collier will tell you all day he doesn't know how to play the instruments he plays but he knows what he likes and what he likes it turns out is pretty amazing.

Great show LEG END'S, I love the idea of your Drink Show, but a word of caution. Having worked in Construction for over thirty years, every and I MEAN EVERY firms do I went to ENDED UP IN EITHER THE LOCAL POLICE STATION, OR THE A&E DEPARTMENT OF THE LOCAL HOSPITAL, NORMALLY BOTH!!! So be careful because The Faustian Pact your entering into has a very high cost!! . And we would all miss TPS after KZread banned it . Just as an aside to prove the point, this Saturday will be my Five year Anniversary of total sobriety & yes you never really stop missing it . Thanks again for your wonderful show's. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.

At some point Ted Nugent discovered that a short scale small bodied fully hollow with relatively minimal resonance could be employed at volume. He did not continue but did revisit that gear upon request. To early admirers it had become Ted's signature "solo act" sound.

In regards to vintage gear. I prefer modern guitars and vintage amps.

When you get to a certain age, having been in the rock guitar music world for long enough, you really need to look after whatever is left of your hearing. So, ear plugs can become a necessary evil.

Wait dan, why do you know the friends theme off the top of your head? 🤨🤔

Mick, what speaker do you have in your live cab? What is your opinion on american vs british speakers? I really want to like american speakers for my 12 inch princeton but at the same time, celestions sounds so sweet. We play mostly rock and blues. Love your show👍🎸😀
