Arena Rock... let's bring it back!

Oh, time, and music. The history of music is so awesome, and there are certain definitive era's. Soul, blues, rock, glam rock, punk, metal, pop punk, nu metal, indie rock... what is next? Or, what era are we in right now?

It seems like a conglomerate of everything is coming back. People want nostalgia, and most style have been done... or have they? Are we now officially in the age of AI music?

BIG thanks to 'nowyoushred' for the awesome jam track, yet again!

Thanks for the support, everyone :)

**WEEK 41 - THE INLEO ERA**

Yes, a new era is amoung us! We have now stepped into a new relam... development, drive, determination, desire..... EVOLUTION!

Welcoming us ALL to the latest march forwards. The new changes - another step towards collective growth! May your goals all be achieved!

This week - I just couldn't stop. This guitar solo wen't on and on! I did record this the other day and havdn't had the time(?) to get around to posting it. But, all I ask if you us to enjoy - that is what music is all about! We all feel it - the connection, and love that music brings us all. It is not over yet, it has only just begun!

Played on my Les Paul Custom (Epiphone). I wanted to go a little harder with this one, my typical playing is more blues/rock, and I always love some shred, so I tried to unleash! I have been working on some Acoustic stuff recently, so maybe I will change it up for next weeks entry!

Either way... peace and love to you all! Such an amazing platform and community here - I am always blown away by everyone's perfromances and commitment - we are all in this together. As I say at the end of my video... WE ARE THE ONES!

**VIBES WEEK 40!**

*Congratualtions to EVERYONE on last weeks competition, all of the winners, and all of the entries!*

Are you all ready for another AWESOME week of music? I am!

I wanted to write a new original song for this weeks entry, and I thought, for most of you, the summer is coming to an end. Funnily enough, it is just entering Spring here in New Zealand, but I wanted to reflect the chill summer vibes that I know many of you are enjoying, and some of us are longing for!

I kept this to around 2 minutes, and yes it is a demo song, I mixed it all and added some soft drums which have the tape 90s sound to it which I quite like. Just acoustic guitar for this, which was fun! I really enjoy writing music, and sometimes a few things come together like this one.

What do you all think? Should I make this into a full length song with another verse and a guitar solo? If you ask, you shall recieve! :)

I sure hope you all enjoy, and I am looking forwards to hearing all of your entries! :)

I am also excited for Week 41, where we will join INLEO for another new development and jounrey in the VIBES world! It will be cool to see how this all plays out :)

Peace and love everyone!

VIBES! WE ARE BACK! WEEK 39!

Best of luck to everyone this week! Now, for this weeks theme of 'movie themes and soundtracks' I wanted to merge it in with a tribute to The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy's music has always been a huge influenece for me, and millions around the world. His spirit lives on through his music!

So, which solo is your favourite? I have mixed in my TOP 3 solos! I would love to know which was your favoruite!

But wait... isn't this movie themes? Well.. These songs have been featured in many movies! For example:

CRAZY TRAIN - Ghost Rider, Kung Fu Panda, Trolls World Tour, Megamind

NO MORE TEARS - Little Nicky, YUP

Mama I'm coming home was just a nice addition I wanted to add ;)

Either way, I sure hope you enjoy - even if this doesn't quite fit the overall theme for this week, I wanted to give my tribute to Ozzy, rip some HUGE solos, and still play some well know tunes that have featured in movies and films shows around the world over time.

I look forwards to your entires! Best of luck, and keep rocking!

VIBES WEEK 35!

Get ready to dance! As I said, not quite a techno or EDM style from me, but this is a step up from my usual blues, and I sure hope it makes you nod your heads! :D

Bustin out the LTD M10 Custom once more for this jam! A real fun lively backing track, but still has somewhat of a late night vibe! As always, a lot of fun jamming once warm :) I'm saying that as I am typing with my hands frozen hardly able to move as it is now winter here in New Zealand and is a bout 2 degrees outside (...and inside), so I am going to head outside and get on a walk or bike to generate some heat! Then, practice and commence!

Thank you everyone, for the continued love and support :) means a lot to me!

As always, I am just jamming in my own style, but I would say this jam for fans of Slash, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Moore, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, and other classic rock greats! Enjoy :)

Peace and love to everyone - a BIG hug to you all and all the best in this weeks competition and truly just in life! :)

Ever miss your first guitar? Remembering the good days of endless jams on something that cost less than your weekly bills? For me, it was a Columbus Crest (Strat Copy) and I miss that guitar very much. There was also a classical guitar that I sold for like $40 many years ago, that I regret... but, I have a lot of fun with guitars, so that is understandable! Anyway, let's get to todays video...

In Part 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e9rDiykoEw

I was not only recording in a dark room and a lot younger, I had just upgraded my $150 LTD M10 with some Seymour Duncan pickups, worth around $200. This LTD was my first guitar since I have been living in New Zealand, and I won't let this one get away :) not just for nostalgia, but, it rocks! I love playing it. The neck is glorious, it might be the nicest neck I have ever played! There are some minor action and fret issues, but if that was all sorted this would be perfect.

The upgrades - you might have seen in my previous videos where I have displayed my 'tuned' Epiphone, which is a real screamer! This now has the Duncan's in, meaning the LTD has the Les Paul Custom pickups in! Sounds and feels great :)

https://hive.blog/hive-193816/@sunsethunter/adxawuyj

In reality, and to conclude, there is a lot more I could do - tuners, nut, bridge, frets, caps, pots... but, there isn't really any need. I think sometimes working out and feeling a tone and be great. At the end of the day, if you love a guitar, that is all that's needed :) keep rocking everyone!

HIVE - Something short and sweet today :)

Just a quickie today, and sometimes, less is more! Right?

Played on my Epiphone Les Paul Custom (Limited Edition), through my ZOOM G1X FOUR pedal (Gary Moore Patch) into Ableton Live Lite.

The amazing 'MJsBackingTracks' has provided the great blues backing track once again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeHMpkUi57g thank you!

With MJ using Gary Moore as the featured image, you know I couldn't resist! Longer jam coming soon :)

SPANISH

Hoy solo un rapidito y, a veces, ¡menos es más! ¿Bien?

Tocado en mi Epiphone Les Paul Custom (Edición limitada), a través de mi pedal ZOOM G1X FOUR (Gary Moore Patch) en Ableton Live Lite.

El increíble 'MJsBackingTracks' ha proporcionado la excelente pista de acompañamiento de blues una vez más https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeHMpkUi57g ¡gracias!

Con MJ usando a Gary Moore como imagen destacada, ¡sabes que no pude resistirme! Próximamente un jam más largo :)

I have some pretty big changes coming up real soon everyone. I want to talk about them, but I think it might be best if I just focus on my music here.

Tengo algunos cambios bastante grandes que se avecinan muy pronto para todos. Quiero hablar de ellos, pero creo que sería mejor si me centrara aquí sólo en mi música.

Peace and love!

**HIVE - GEAR REVIEW - GUITAR PEDAL - MY TONE**

Back with another review, and this time, it's a pedal review! This is a first for me. Well, maybe calling it a review is a bit of a stretch—it's more of a playthrough and sound demo. I skip a lot of the features this pedal offers and dive straight into the sounds. Some people have asked how I get my tone, and here it is! Most of my sounds come from this pedal, which I run through Ableton Live Lite (the free version).

In this video, I explore a wide range of sounds—from clean tones to drives, wah, delay, and even programmed tones inspired by artists like Slash, Gary Moore, and Steve Vai. There are also some very unusual sounds that I’m not sure where I’d ever use, but they’re cool in their own way!

**Here’s a brief description from Rock Shop NZ:**

*The Zoom G1X FOUR features over 70 effects and amp models, a looper, and a drum machine. Plus, you can access ZOOM Guitar Lab’s library of downloadable effects. Plug in and be amazed!*

That sums up what this pedal can do! I didn’t mess with the drum or looper functions, and I haven’t even tried the Guitar Lab yet. This pedal is a budget-friendly option—around 200 NZD, 150 USD, or 100 GBP—which isn’t bad at all. Honestly, I don’t need much more, though maybe a longer looper would be nice (the current one lasts 30 seconds, which is usually enough for me).

For this demo, I’m playing on my Epiphone Les Paul Custom (made in Korea, 2000) fitted with Seymour Duncan pickups. Hope you enjoy the video! Peace and love!

**SPANISH**

¡De vuelta con otra reseña, y esta vez, una reseña de pedal! Esta es mi primera vez haciendo algo así. Bueno, quizás llamarlo "reseña" sea un poco exagerado—es más bien una demostración de sonido. Me salto muchas de las funciones que ofrece este pedal y me voy directo a los sonidos. Algunas personas me han preguntado cómo consigo mi tono, ¡y aquí lo tienen! La mayoría de mis sonidos provienen de este pedal, que utilizo a través de Ableton Live Lite (la versión gratuita).

En este video, exploro una amplia gama de sonidos, desde tonos limpios, drives, wah, delay, e incluso tonos programados inspirados en artistas como Slash, Gary Moore y Steve Vai. ¡También hay algunos sonidos muy extraños que no sé dónde usaría, pero me gustan de una manera curiosa!

**Aquí tienes una breve descripción de Rock Shop NZ:**

*El Zoom G1X FOUR incluye más de 70 efectos y modelos de amplificadores, un looper y una caja de ritmos. Además, puedes acceder a la biblioteca adicional de efectos descargables de ZOOM Guitar Lab. ¡Conéctalo y prepárate para sorprenderte!*

¡Eso resume lo que este pedal puede hacer! No probé las funciones de caja de ritmos o looper, y aún no he explorado el Guitar Lab. Este pedal es una opción bastante asequible: alrededor de 200 NZD, 150 USD o 100 GBP, lo cual no está nada mal. Sinceramente, no necesito mucho más, aunque un looper que dure más de 30 segundos sería útil (el actual dura 30 segundos, lo cual suele ser suficiente para mí).

Para esta demostración, estoy tocando con mi Epiphone Les Paul Custom (hecha en Corea, año 2000) con pastillas Seymour Duncan. ¡Espero que disfruten el video! ¡Paz y amor!
