Hi Dweezil , its without question you are doing your best to try to create the RWTD episodes. I wanted to enquire if you still are planning to feature George Lynch ( I recall when I originally subscribed he was mentioned as an additional episode) only, he's the one guitar player who actually played gigs with, shared stages with VH in the early days ( before being signed and in 1988 - just thought he could have some unique insight ?? I've also re discovered The Inside Magazine I had boxed away in the loft ( U.K ) if your in the U.S.A I 'm referring to attic ... what an excellent publication it was too ?? and a certain Dweezil is featured in one edition.
Terry Kilgore actually spent a lot more time with Ed personally during the early days. Though he is ill currently, I’d love for him to share his memories here as well…
When I purchased this bundle, I was very excited. The first batch of episodes really delivered. While I am not enamored with the lack of content updates in recent months, I trust and have faith that Dweezil is a man of his word. Hoping the second Satriani episode is forthcoming soon, and that it will spark positive momentum.
I totally understand where you're coming from. I am working hard to get back on track. I've been overwhelmed with a huge workload beyond just the podcast so I'm trying my best to catch up for all of the RWTD community members. I've blocked out this entire week to give you all more content. I'm very sorry for the lengthy delay!
Thanks for the honest response can't wait for new episodes.
Dave's Wish list:
Take another pass but every album with blues saraceno!!!
Also how about Dweezil does Ozzy *(Randy/Jake), Ratt, Zeppelin
Would love if you could compile a list of what guitar ed used on which song for every album. I know you have discussed such in the podcasts but a list would be amazing.
QUESTION: EDDIE OVER HAND TECHNIQUE JUDGEMENT DAY? I have seen ed do the finger work for Judgement Day by putting his hands over top of guitar? But seems to me you can play with regular finger work not hand over top. knowing ed is not one for flash why does he do this??
Dweezil, thanks so much for the podcast the insights and laughs keep them coming!
Thanks for your support. I like the ideas you suggested as well. I'll definitely include Blues in another episode or 2!
As for Judgement Day, the section you're talking about was originally played in a piano-esque way. EVH had a fold out tray on the back of his guitar in 1984 and played the guitar like a piano for part of his live solo. Even though he could have played it in a less piano-esque way while holding the guitar normally, it's probably a hold over from that technique he used to compose it. It does look fun though when played over the top!
He sort of answered it in one of his updates. I forget exactly what he said, but the same chaos that slowed production of the episodes has prevented making the presets. If I recall properly he’s setting up a new studio or some such. Hopefully there’s another update soon. He knows all the tones so well, having a few VH a presets covering every era would be awesome. I kind of have that now, but I know dweezil’s stuff will be more accurate.
Yes, I have been setting up the studio which is quite an undertaking. It's been under construction for almost 7 years. Anyway, yes I am still working on getting the presets together and I will be doing the most accurate versions I possibly can. It's a bit of challenge too because I'm working across a few different platforms and I'd like to get them finished all at the same time.
It’s starting to feel like we’re not getting anymore. I realize that’s not the case, but it just seems that way because I want to hear all of the great commentary on these great VH records. With no disrespect to the other guests, I would be totally happy if it were Dweezil and Nuno talking about all of them. They both were like so super nerdy (IN A VERY AWESOME WAY) over the smallest of sounds of every song. Blues and Paul were also outstanding.
I know it's been very disappointing to wait for extended periods of time in between episodes. It was never foreseen that this would be the case. So many things have transpired in the last few months that have been adding to the gridlock. I know very well that people aren't happy about the circumstances and I'm not either because I really want everyone to be able to enjoy the content in a timely manner.
I won't bog you all down with details about the gridlock or list any other excuses because I am focused on creating the solution.
All I can do is apologize for falling behind and make up for it by getting the next few episodes out the door in a more expedited manner.
The light at the end of the tunnel is that there will be a very exciting announcement on the horizon which will most likely give everyone insight as to why (beyond technical problems) there has been such slow progress on the episodes.
As I finish writing this I am going back to the final touches on Joe Satriani epsiode 2. Andy Wood balance is well underway too so the pace will be quickening for once.
Sorry for all of the disappointing absence of communication and slow releases. As a single person in the position to create all of the content and also involve myself in other facets of my professional and personal life, I have become overwhelmed. I am climbing back up the mountain now and I'm looking forward to getting into a better flow for all of you.
You all deserve to have the best content I can deliver and I want to deliver on my commitment to all of you.

Ah I thought it might be something like that thanks for the insight.
Any word on the axe fx3 presets?
Same question here

Hey Guys,
Yes, I have been setting up the studio which is quite an undertaking. It's been under construction for almost 7 years.

Best, DZ
Where's episode 16? I thought it was going to be released in January.
