Trevor Rabin - Something To Hold On To - Jackson JS22
I just learned this song tonight. There are no tabs anywhere. There's no video of people covering the song. So, I did a lot of learning by ear and guess-work. There are a couple stumbles. So, please be tolerant. I have to spend more time with the solo to fully learn it. But, I got enough of the song down so that I could upload this version of it.
It's a somewhat obscure song from 1989 by Trevor Rabin. Trevor was the guitarist who joined Yes in the early 80's and they created the 90125 album. He was an integral part in bringing Yes back to the masses with such tunes as 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart' - which became the album's biggest hit. He did this solo record in 1993. He's also done the music for movies like 'Con Air' starring Nicolas Cage.
'Something To Hold On To' is from Trevor Rabin's 1989 album "Can't Look Away" and is written by Trevor Rabin. The album was produced by Bob Ezrin.

QUEEN
queensryche-spreading-the-disease-iyv-ip
Well, I did a few things last night. I lowered the string height on a couple of my guitars to 1.5mm on the High-E, and 1.75 on the Low-E just to see how I dealt with a lower action than I'm used to. Well, I got used to it pretty quick and did the 2nd thing - finally learned the guitar solo to this song! The lower action allows for much greater speed and accuracy! I like it!
I'll be lowering the action of ALL my guitars to this height eventually. This guitar plays EXACTLY like all the PRS guitars I tried in the stores (that were fully set up by their techs). Now, all I need is an actual PRS like a Standard 24 or a Custom 24. Hmmmm...... Now, I see why Alex Lifeson likes the PRS guitars so much!
NOTE: I used Vadim Taranov's free '5150' amp sim combined with Guitar Rig 5 and the free TS-999 Tube Screamer plugin (Ignite Amps) for this one. The Tube Screamer plugins before the amps give KILLER sustain and clarity!
'Spreading The Disease' is from Queensryche's incredible 1988 album 'Operation: Mindcrime' and is written by Geoff Tate and Michael Wilton.
SIGNAL CHAIN:
GUITAR: IYV IP-300-TSB (PRS Custom 24 Copy) - Bought for $276 from Amazon. Plays very well and the Destiny CNC-Wound pickups are AWESOME! This guitar fully matches the feel and sound of the PRS SE (and even the Custom 24!) models I played at the guitar stores back in November 2019 when I was shopping for a new guitar! This is the only 'neck-through-body' guitar I own.

Sounds of my youth right here! This song was all over the radio back in the late 1970's and well into the 1980's! It's such a great breakup song! Definitely one of the great 'See ya later' songs! It's from the 1979 Commdores album 'Midnight Magic' and is written by Lionel Richie.

TOTO
toto-99-aa-bulldog-and-ibanez-gio
One of my favorite songs by Toto! This song has a LOT of memories tied to it!
From the Wikipedia article about the song: "The song was written as a tribute to George Lucas's film THX 1138, and the music video resembles a scene in the movie. In the video, as in the movie scene where the main character (named "THX 1138" and nicknamed "Thex") is imprisoned, the room is completely white and everyone is wearing a white jumpsuit."
The movie/story THX 1138 takes place in a dystopian world that has been made very sterile by paranoid leaders and emotions are outlawed.

AXESS
axess2084-'1987'-pink-floyd-inspired
Here's a little something I put together. I had this kind of jam come to me out of the blue today. I wasn't even thinking about Pink Floyd at all! So, here it is - from my tortured mind to creation to existence! To ME, this sounds like it belongs in the inside of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' - or even somewhere in 'The Wall'. If any of these chord changes or phrasings exactly match anything they did, it's incidental. I just decided to do some dreamy stuff in the spirit of Floyd.
SIGNAL CHAIN:
GUITAR: Glarry GST Strat - Bought for $50 on Ebay. I put $25 of parts into upgrading it (including a $18 YiBuy loaded pickguard) and a little over an hour of my time installing it, shimming the neck, and filing 3 frets. $75 later and I have a guitar that sounds/feels/plays just as well as a Fender!

AEROS

Haven't done this one in a couple years! Such a great song from the more recent era of Aerosmith. One of my favorites! And I'm usually 'JADED' (haha) about the newer stuff from Aerosmith. I'm more of a 1970s-era fan. But, this song is pretty dang catchy!
'Jaded' is from Aerosmith's 2001 album 'Just Push Play' and is written by Steven Tyler and Marti Frederiksen.

MY NE
my-new-michael-kelly-'53db-stone-temple
I've been eyeing the Michael Kelly guitars on zZounds.com for a while now. I just never pulled the trigger on them. They look great - but, I wasn't sure if they were 'me'. I'm glad I decided to go ahead and get this amazing dual-humbucker Tele! It arrived needing nothing but a tune up, new string stretching, pickup height adjustment, and a little fret end sanding down with the sponge (because the we're still in the Winter-type dryness).
It was perfectly intonated. The string height was exactly where I wanted. Usually, when a guitar arrives, I go through the full set-up which includes neck relief, intonation, and string height. All that was exactly how I wanted! It has coil splitting between both pickups. The full specs and demos can be found on the Michael Kelly website and their YouTube channel respectively. Great guitar!
"Plush" is from Stone Temple Pilots' 1992 debut album 'Core' and is written by Scott Weiland, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz.
The Michael Kelly '53 DB can be found here: https://www.zzounds.com/item--MKGMK53HDTERO
SIGNAL CHAIN:
GUITAR: Michael Kelly '53 DB (Telecaster type) - $400 on zZounds (or wherever you can find them being sold). The body is Alder. The neck is Maple. The fretboard is Pau Ferro. Bone nut. Modern C shaped neck. Rockfield humbuckers (pickups). Coil Splitting on both pickups which can be done separately for a range of tones. Well worth $400, in my opinion. The fit and finish are top notch, the playability is excellent, and the sound is seriously nice!

'Mean Street' is from Van Halen's 1981 album 'Fair Warning' and is written by Edward Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and David Lee Roth. If you're looking for an exact cover of this song, this ain't it. I also improvised the solos. And there's no weird intro. It's not perfect, but it sounds cool to me and it's my tribute to a great band I grew up with.

LED Z
led-zeppelin-good-times,-bad-times-2
'Good Times, Bad Times' is the first song on Led Zeppelin's 1969 debut, self-titled, album. It's written by Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. I picked up this vinyl record in the early 70's when I was probably about 7 or 8. I had just gotten into KISS and hadn't heard who this band was. I took a chance on it and fell in love with the music of this legendary band from these first chords! I never once dreamed I'd ever be playing their music on the guitar! A dream come true!! I hope I do this legendary band and song justice! NOTE: This was done using a backing track to avoid any 'entanglements'.

DEF L
def-leppard-armageddon-it-sx-callisto-2
It's new guitar day!! This is a guitar that I happened to find for sale in my local classified ads one morning last week. The guy who put out the ad listed that he had used guitars for sale. So, for the heck of it, I contacted him. This was one of the guitars he had for sale. I'd NEVER even seen a Goldtop Les Paul Custom - much less played one. He wanted $150 for it. Since I recently sold a bunch of antiques - and had some money left over for bills - I decided to go for it.
YES, I said I wouldn't be getting another guitar for a while. But, this was quite an opportunity! So, with my bills covered, I grabbed it. I went and met the guy for the exchange on this VERY cold February morning and it's a beaut! It was taken care of well and set-up VERY well! I didn't have to do anything to it to get it playable! The guitar only weighs 8 1/2 pounds! Must be weight-relieved. It's much lighter than both my Les Paul Customs! I love it! It looks sharp!
I'm putting new pickups on it when they arrive in the next couple days. So, I held off on the Boston test until it's fully customized.
"Armageddon It" is from Def Leppard's 1987 album "Hysteria" and is written by Joe Elliott, Rick Savage, Phil Collen, Steve Clark, and Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
HERE is where you can find this guitar at Rondo Music:
