Tony MacAlpine: goes all ibanez on us!

Tony MacAlpine has joined the Ibanez family and will now be playing Ibanez 6, 7, and 8-string guitars exclusively.

Tony MacAlpine says:

"It's a real honor to be part of the Ibanez endorsee family," said Tony, "and I'm looking forward to breaking out the 7 and 8-strings on the road!"

Jack Gardiner: tribute to Marco Sfogli

Jack Gardiner says:

Please Read: Hey guys :) Worked this out after watching Marco, and visiting Infinite Guitar! A big shout to all the fantastic people at Infinite Guitar! Especially Rick Graham for transcribing this solo!
I'll do it with the backing track when i upgrade to premium membership on the site.
I recorded this over Marco's Studio version!
Excuse any mistakes. Marco's tremolo picking is very hard for me to play :(

Alex Lifeson: gushes about blu ray

A great interview by soundandvisionmag.com... just a snippet:

Did you have it in mind from the outset that you were going to do concurrent DVD and Blu-ray releases of Snakes & Arrows Live?
I think we all assumed from the beginning that since we were shooting the shows in HD that we were going to make it available on Blu-ray as well, yeah. I got myself a Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu-ray Disc player a while back, and I find it’s hard to go back and even watch anything that’s not Blu-ray. It’s remarkable, it really is.

What sold you on Blu-ray as a format?
The first Blu-ray collection I watched was the fantastic Planet Earth series. The clarity of detail was astounding, and I sat there shaking my head in disbelief. Not too long ago, I watched The Dark Knight, and that was quite impressive as well.

And watching Snakes & Arrows on Blu-ray, boy, you see everything — the saturation, the color, the depth, the perspective. We had some really great camera angles that lent themselves to such an intense experience.
