    I’ve hung out with Jason a few times in the early 90s in Mississauga Ontario. I met him through a mutual friend. I haven’t seen him since the friends wedding in 2002. We hung around the pool at our hotel with Rick Santers and a few others. They talked music and I listened. Great times great music! Listening to this video. Rey brings me back! Wish you all the best Jason!!!!!

    Some people are quick to judge Jason because of the band he's in but the truth is, he's an extremely talented guitar player. He's like a mix of Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde, and Paul Gilbert. Plus...he was in the Alice Cooper band and that really goes to show how good of a guitar player he is...If you're a rock guitar player, that's the gig to have.

    It's bizarre to see guitarists who don't use the neck pickup. Why wouldn't you? It can sound killer in numerous contexts. I use it most of the time when soloing above the 12th fret.

    • @saltpeter7429
      @saltpeter7429 2 года назад

      Yes. I tend to spend 98% of my time with the bridge humbucker. Never been much of a lead player, but lately I have been going there. Keep going, dont stay still right? But I agree, playing up there beyond the 12th I like the neck humbucker tone. Particularly coupled with a wah pedal. That is an exciting place that I am looking forward to exploring.
