So here we have a lousy picture of an Agile Defiant 53437:
It’s not a trick of perspective; those frets really do fan out along the fingerboard. The bass B string has a scale length of 37″, while the top G string is 34″.
What we’re About
Melodic progressive rock songs and instrumental interludes, a touch of 70’s influence but a product of the dystopian Now.
“Very smooth, hi-tech sounding delivery…” – Chris Jemmett, alt.music.yes
“This guy is awesome.” – Dazed, on the Carvin Forum.
“..on a rare occasion you just have to conclude that the prog world should be feasting upon the birth of a new and promising act. That’s exactly the case with this [first] album.”
– Theo Verstrael, DPRP.net
“I find this new album attractive, [..] slightly less appealing than the 2014 debut. But as that is often the case with great artists, let it not distract you from trying this fine album. Especially those that are interested in bands that play varied, cleverly made, well played and sung [..], this might just be your cup of tea.”
– Theo Verstrael, DPRP.net
Very nice Colin. 👍 I approve wholeheartedly
Did it take much to adapt your playing to the different shapes on the fretboard?
Longer B makes lots of sense – more tension, better tone and much better intonation
Hey Tony, I would say yes, it did take some adaptation. I don't play or practice enough to get to where it is second nature, so I still find myself watching my hand position during takes. The neck is long.
