...what were you thinking
For every new profile I discover, I am thinking "this is it" - it can't get any better than this. Well it turns out, it can.
Today I explored Johnny Navarro's amazing 'JN 59 Fender Bassma' profile, which can be found on the rig exchange. I know I have nagged about this before, but I just cannot grasp how the profiler can be this flexible/dynamic. It is now officially possible to play guitar non-stop.
I used the middle/neck 'in between' pick up position, with both tone and volume knobs a bit rolled down. The different tones throughout the video are achieved solely by variation of picking strength.
Compare the intro (where I fingerpick à la Mark Knopfler) with the section at 01:05 where I use heavy pick strikes. Again, I did not touch volume pot or anything like that throughout the solo.
I am playing over a Gary Moore-ish style backing track, I hope you enjoy it!
