Marty man you kick ass man, you and Jason and Metallica (heh) are the reason I even play guitar. Well, let me get to the point, I've heard all your shit, Music for Speeding more recent :P gah it kicked ass! Listen to it everyday, never get bored. My question is, to get that tone, do you use high/low action? Im assuming maybe higher action because it doesnt sound like you could sound like that with low action, but when you were in cacophony to play that fast you maybe used a thinner guage of strings (9's) and lower action?? You probably wont answer this since your super ass busy and like a Guitar Virtuoso but it would like make me like splooge if I knew you shredded with like gauge 10-52 strings with high action on your albums especially Cacophony days. Oh well, keep making fucking great music ya fook! heh
