Scott Henderson Discussion

Sour grapes certainly has something to do with it, but honestly, Cobham’s statements are not completely without merit. While McLaughlin’s compositions are rhythmically complex, I’ve never personally t ...

Hey Scott,

The weight woes and rental amp reliability issues you describe are the reasons I’ve learned to cope with amp modelers. My suggestion? Give the Fractal AX8 (their flagship Axe-Fx 3 is pro ...

I know you're a greenbacks guy but do you have any recommendations of speaker for a fender type amp? Mine is a SF Fender twin modded so that the vibrato knob is replaced with a presence. I would event ...

Yeah the Ownhammer naming conventions drive me nuts. I just want to know what I’m working with! I guess one way to look at it is that you’re just supposed to scroll through the IRs until you find the ...

If you want wieird, check out the Catalinbread Antichton, Pigtronix Mothership 2 and Ringmaster, and if you feel like you need something David Torn-y, the Montreal Assembly Count to Five. The Count To ...

What you could do is have Warmoth build you a mahogany strat body and a Gibson scale mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Basically a bolt-on SG! Could also get a maple top for the body if you’r ...

That would be a teaching question if I knew the answer, but unfortunately I don't. I've heard the term "economy picking" but I have no idea what it means. I guess I use alternative picking b ...

Just binge watched the first two seasons and said to myself, "You know who needs to see this? Scott!" All the episodes are on my Hulu.

My advice: it's not enough just to transcribe solos. Doing so will certainly help your technique, but you need to be listening to jazz constantly to get the language into your head. When I went to sch ...

The Axe Fx 2 has gone through quite a few updates, particularly over the past couple years. If you know someone who has one with the most recent firmware, it might be worth your time to check it out. ...

I've used pretty much every attenuator on the market, and the Fryette is the only one I've liked. There is another option you may want to consider. It's an attenuator, of sorts, but definitely not a t ...
