Hold on there…in …
Hold on there…in the motorcycle world many people mis-pronounce dampening as in stopping the movement of shocks or steering stem. There it’s damping. Are we not doing the same here, stopping or muting strings hence the proper term is DAMPING. To dampen something is to wipe with a damp cloth. Not good for the fretboard.

He used to use an old Chandler TUbe Driver, the pedl I believe has actually tubes in it. GIlmore occasioally used one as well. There are two basic types of “distortion”: overdrive, more of a bluesy kind of tone, and distortion, used in a lot of classic rock and metal. He uses more of an overdrive. There are also the older Fuzz type pedals, a little different flavor. SOme of the newer boutique pedal have one of each on each side. Very versatile.

learn your modes, 1. Ionian,2.Dorian,3Phrigian,4.Lydian,5.mixolydian,6Aloloian,7.locrain the modes are made up of the 7 notes of the major scale so try this if you know the major scale just take like a. A power cord and play the fith note of the a minor scale which is E so play that E to E and you will be play the phyrigian mode then just mix that with the minor pentatonic I hope this helps

if there is a string you aren’t playing, stop it from vibrating, with whatever finger, or part of either hand that you aren’t using–right hand palm of picking hand, or fingers that are not fretting a note.

the only thing I …
the only thing I don’t like about ej, is that sometimes he plays things that you can hear, and they are really cool and hard, but it gets lost in his clean sound. pump up the volume ej and play more distortion.
