TOUR COUNTDOWN - When 'Push Comes to Shove'

As of today, Jan. 4, 2025, the ROX(POSTROPH)Y tour is only 5 days away! The search for the ideal sound continues down to the wire. Join us in the studio for an inside look at the mad dash to the finish line.

Don’t miss out on seeing this tour LIVE!

This is a quick look at one of the lesser known parts of tour prep, the hours spent on sound design. I'm in the ball park with this but still have some tweaking left. What do you think?

[gdt]

I think it sounds just like the record. Your tone search is definitely not going unrewarded!

Aside from you being a gifted musician, I wanted to, THANK YOU, for keeping EVH’s memory and music alive! Just like your dad’s music, EVH’s need to be studied, continued and brought forward for the next generations coming! You’re a genuine person and musician in your own right, and musicians remember and share, “their” hero’s who made them who they are! Appreciate all ya do, DZ!! Love this channel and where you are going with it!

So few will ever know the trepidation and joy of bringing a song to life.

[PhilThach]

From someone who absolutely loves the Fair Warning album. I will tell you that I appreciate you working so hard on it. See you in Chattanooga!

[MashaT]

You got this! It’s awesome! EVH would have been flattered at the effort you’ve taken to recreate the magic of this song!

[breakingdad]

I really appreciate this insight. Thank you, Dweezil. Your father would be so proud

1:41 I find this fascinating and I think digital modeling greatly contributes to this analysis paralysis. Digital modeling gives us endless simple options. Modeling gives us access to hundreds of amps and cabinets and effects. We don't have to find a pedal, change an amp or tube, pull a cable, move a microphone or anything else. We just click and move and the simplicity of changing our tone can become a dominating factor in our practice. I've also learned through modeling that there is more than one path to a certain tone. It can become overwhelming. Also, how many of us have found a tone, gone to bed and then woke up the next morning only to question what the hell we were thinking last night. I'm not a touring musician but I certainly do this in my kitchen all the time. If I could just find the right tone that sounds perfect and doesn't make the shelf in my toaster oven rattle. We feel your pain. But hey, we have options. It's the new golden age of guitar. 😁

[MOzarkMike]

Fascinating that you let us into your mind as you produce and play. You are teaching my ears to listen differently.

Dweezil we are so excited to see you in Texas!!! I hope you can find some zen in these crazy days before the tour begins!

[trickyfingers]

Sounds great Dweezil - you're an awesome player!

[ELECTRICEYE]

Sounds like you nailed the sound in the end

Brother, Eddie was free with his notes. To me, and I never met the man like you have, anyway, I believe that his unbanned note choices were free of thought . He understood in his head where it should go, then opened up to the feeling and expression on the notes. I believe that's why he never mostly played it the same every time, it was freeing the standard of boring structures of notes, more of letting go for the expression of his sonic delivery.
I mean, look at any of the music videos. His right hand is a f'en monster, his timing is insane the use of his swing tempo's structures is utterly fantastic. His guitar playing is truly freedom.

God bless you Dweezil. This song is my favorite VH song...as hard as it is to actually pick a favorite VH song. I can't wait to see you play it live.

[iJurre]

Push is one of my fav EVH solos too. Please come to the Netherlands Dweezil so I can see you play this masterpiece live!!!!

[Noitpure]

Even in this early stage this sounds freaking cool! My favorite VH song come to life by one of my other favorite guitar players! Thank you!

[colourtones]

The dedication you demonstrate to painstakingly reconstruct the technical aspects and the nuanced sonic details of this deep composition put your artistry at the highest level.

[SonnyAngelucci]

Damn good timing yo get
To see this in between sets tonight. Can't wait to see
You on the road. Killing
It D

[PersianRockstar]

This is what happens when you’re a perfectionist musician, we will never stop reaching for “greatness”

[Lupo]

Tone Chaser. So much respect for this man...🙏
