hehe pekeng jazz lang yung ginagawa ko. matagal ko na sinubukang aralin pero hindi ko talaga maintindihan ang jazz! tingin ko naja-jazzan lang ang iba dahil sa mga major-seventh chords at weird progressions ko...
nung nagumpisa ako panay new wave ang pinakikinggan ko, at panay rhythm guitar. nung na adik naman ako sa metallica ganun parin, panay rhythm at kinarir ko yung downpicking at "singing".
panay luma rin kasi pinakikinggan ko since before pako nag-gitara kaya siguro mas nagra-rub off sa playing ko... 

[rakistangel]

sir, pa-pm ako ng chords ng "piece of this"

pa-birthday mo na sakin  salamat 

mariachi, for some reason di ako makapadala ng pm, nag-e-error.
if you can manage to send me your personal email address via pm, padala ko sa iyo yung chords. or kung mahanap ko yung tab na ginawa ko dati, yun na lang

[tiyowoy]

hello, maraming salamat sa compliments!
here's a list of the gear i've used (and still use), para di na kayo manghula

- Greco ES335 jap-copy, semi-hollow, formerly sun-burst, now black. 1st electric guitar i've ever owned (1988, 2nd-hand, for php3,200!)

- Boss OD2 Turbo Overdrive, also bought back in '88, painted black para mag-match sa dating gawa-gawa na wooden pedalbox

- Ibanez WH10 wah pedal, in my opinion the best wah sound, but it was made of plastic and broke easily if you have a heavy foot like i do. naka-dalawa nako nun...

- JD Crybaby (pots get dirty & noisy after a while, kaya di ko na ginagamit)
- Ibanez WD7 weeping demon (recently acquired) pwede na rin!

that's my basic set-up for playing live, although at one point i used to also have a Boss Chorus Ensemble for clean parts. my amp of choice is the Fender Twin Reverb (can't afford), and Peavey amps. for some reason my guitar/gear setup does not agree with Marshalls, so i avoid using them.

for the (p.o.t) album, all the clean parts were recorded through a (rented) Fender Twin, the distorted parts i got with a Mesa-Boogie Dual Rectifier amp, rekta, no other effects, lots of gain!
the acoustic guitar parts were courtesy of (i'm pretty sure) Bopip Paraguya's 12-string Martin.

nowadays when i do studio work, i use a Digitech RP12 (same one i used for the "mga gitarista" album launch, and only because the song needed it).

yun lang, maraming salamat uli, mabuhay kayong lahat! 

Sir mabuhay kayo! By the way...just curious, naging influence mo rin ba yung Fungus Amongus album ng Incubus?

email sent sir. salamat ng marami 

[supernaut]

sir ian, you did not mention sa list mo kung gumagamit ka ng mga modulation effects. di ka ba mahilig sa mga modulation?dun po sa final decision, phaser ba yung gamit mo dun?ganda ng tunog eh,yung  stanza 

[ianumali]

salamat tiyowoy, unfortunately never ako nakinig ng incubus, pwera nalang pag nasa radyo o tv, at di ko pwedeng ilipat yung channel

[ianumali]

supernaut, yung phaser effect sa recording, galing sa software plug-in (waves ata) na ginamit ko nung nag-mix ako. pagkakatanda ko linagyan ko lang kasi sobrang dry yung original sound ko, nagsawa narin ako sa usual chorus fx na ginagamit ko before.
nag-program narin ako ng close-enough na setting sa RP12 ko, para lang sa live performances ng kanta.
pero hindi talaga ako mahilig sa mod fx, masyado na siyang dikit sa new wave sa psyche ko! (syempre depende sa treatment) the one time na na-inspire ako gumamit ng phaser is nung narining ko gamitin dati ni martin aviles, guitarista ng indio-i. hanep ang treatment niya!

salamat demoboi, hirap rin pag masyadong maraming effects, di ko alam kung ano tatapakan ko! hehehe
badtrip pa yan pag-setup and baklas sa stage, sanay kasi ako ng mabilisang setup para togs na agad! 

[demoboi]

hehehe! ganda ng mga RC mo bro... hehehe! OT pero how much kaya isa? 

Galing mo sa wah! Imagine ko nalang kung mag dadrive ka then makalimutan mo na gas pedal lol! 

[supernaut]

pero astig talaga sa paggamit ng wah si idol. hirap nga gayahin yung timing nya sa pagapak.

Akala ko nga phaser tapos biglang titimplahan ng wah.sarap sa tenga yung pagkakadelay or ano mang tawag dun nya sa stanza. ano ba setting nung phaser na yun? pashare naman:lol:

hehe tama ka nga, may kasama nga palang delay yun, nakalimutan ko lang! pag sa recording kasi nowadays inaartehan ko na para mapanindigan ko naman yung bago kong career 
check ko kung ano ginawa ko sa setting nun, tas balikan kita. pero alam ko may kinalaman sa computation ng song tempo (bpm) na dinivide ko by 60secs or something.... check ko sir, tas post ko...

[kawayan_strat]

ayos ayos.  Mabuhay din kayo sir.  The first time I ever saw you play was at Kalye bar back in 1993 I think.  it was a week before Metallica played in Manila and you were covering for Razorback because they were rehearsing or something for the Metallica gig.  You were using the same guitar then and I found it amazing that for that guitar, you were doing awesome Metallica covers with you on vocals.  I can't really remember the name of your band but I remember rocking to it.  I was only 13 then kaya marinig lang yung Metallica(kahit covers) live, ayos na. 

Astig.  Good to know you're still around.  I'm a fan of your work.  Last time I saw you play was with Indio-I then Wunjo shortly after that at Xaymaca.

You rock buddy!

Nandun ka rin? Hahaha,parang natabla ata nung gabing yun yung "isang banda".

badtrip pa yan pag-setup and [pichapie] sa stage, sanay kasi ako ng mabilisang setup para togs na agad! 

i distinctly remember typing the word "baklas", pero for some reason ang lumabas "[pichapie]"...

[ianumali]

sorry, i had to post that to find out why that particular word comes out a "pichapie". di ba tama naman yun for tagalog ng "to take apart" o kay iligpit?
