The World Bri'ed Web

The World Bri'ed Web - Brian M. Weidemann: "Yes, I am teasing you all. I will not show you a picture of Evelyn herself, at least not yet. I’m still breaking her in; and loving every second of it, I might add. I figured out the following: if I play her with the “treble” bridge pickup setting on the guitar itself with the tone knob all the way down, then lined through a Rockman Guitar Ace with heavy distortion set, then into my Crate amp with Lo and Mid EQ settings down and Hi EQ up, a little spring reverb added, then into my Tascam mixer, effect-out though my Boss DD-6 digital delay pedal and back … if I play Evelyn like this, then I sound vitually identical to every Boston guitar lick ever recorded. Really. It’s somewhat impressive.

And here, to prove it, is an exclusive .mp3 of me screwing around on Evelyn, playing a sort of medley of: Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring (J.S. Bach), Peace of Mind (Boston), The Depths of Your Embrace (BMWeidemann), Panama (Van Halen), All The Young Dudes (Mott The Hoople) [there you are, Dad!], and Smokin’ (Boston). Keep in mind that this was recorded solely for this update, without my having warmed up. Enjoy."
