I know I really love that album and if you like that you should check out the rest of his stuff + the stuff he has done with John Hiatt et al. The system he uses is called the TransPerformance guitar. Thanks to this list I heard about it and called the company and got one shipped to me to check out for a Jonifest at Ashara's three years ago. It is a great system (the one I got was in a Telecaster body). The only problem is that is does not work for all the Joni tunings. It has limitations in that it can't go up and down on all of the strings as far as Joni goes on her tunings. The first time I heard the thing was at a NAMM show long before I saw the post about it on the list and they had enlisted Jimmy Page to be an endorser. For the open "G" and "d" and "e" it is fine and works great but they haven't got all the way there yet for Joni stuff. It was also VERY heavy and works only in heavy axes like the Tele or Paul.
Hope this helps Paz P.S. I was () this close to having Michele play Jonifest 2000. Maybe when I do the cd release party (wink wink) ;-) ;-) on 5/28/02 8:13 PM, flopit at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > i should have guessed you would have known him. i got a copy of a radio > show (e-town) he did with michelle shocked & was blown away. i picked > up "south of i-10" which is really really good. > > during the radio interview he talked about some strange tuning system he > has, apparently with servo motors attached to each string, mounted in a les > paul body, and linked to some kind of processor. sounded quite fascinating > - do you know anything more about this?? > > ron > > np - michelle shocked - no wonder
