“Manic Depression” by Jack Bruce, Vernon Reid and Terry Bozzio.

This one has the gazooch friends.

Bruce’s post-Cream career is that of a fearless wandering minstrel who gets to jam with cream of the crop players.

Bozzio is, of course an animal. Watch how he keeps the hi-hat going with his foot during the intro solo thing he does.. More guys should know how to do that. It emphasizes the chops and let’s the other players know where you are.

Chops? Vernon Reid has as much as anybody in the shred set but he is so damn musical.

As always, caress a kiss and click pause on the music player located in the side bar before playing the YouTube.

The Moog Guitar is a reality.

One model available, the Paul Vo Collector Edition, at $6,495.00.

The Moog Guitar puts revolutionary new technology in the hands of the guitarist. Moog Music is known for building the finest instruments and the Moog Guitar is first and foremost a very fine guitar; designed to be played by the best musicians as their primary axe. Its AAAAA maple top, mahogany body and ebony finger board bespeak the quality that musicians have come to expect from a Moog instrument.

The addition of Moog Guitar Electronics opens guitarists to a whole new musical vocabulary: Not a guitar synthesizer, not a MIDI guitar or an effects processor; players are intimately connected to The Moog Guitar because it works its magic on the strings themselves.

The Moog Guitar can function as a regular guitar, of course, but beyond that, there are different options for controlling sustain, and a mute mode.

Pickups
2 custom-designed, noise canceling, single coil Moog pickups (neck / bridge)
Piezo saddles on Bridge
The piezo is blended in with the normal output of the Moog Guitar or it can be output separately thru the 1/4 in. jack.
The piezo does not require external power; it receives auxiliary power from an on board 9V battery.

Electronics
Moog patented Guitar Electronics including Moog Ladder Filter / LFO subsystem.

The way I understand it, you can sustain all strings or, any combination. You can set the two pickups with different variations and blend them.

There is a custom Wilkinson-style bridge with a whammy bar.

If you go to the Moog site, you can see a video of well known guitarists demonstrating the Moog Guitar. Lou Reed seems particularly impressed and Vernon Reid plays some very banjo-like things in the mute mode. Go watch the video and you will have a much clearer picture of what this guitar is about.
