Weird effects:
Adam: Thats why on some solos Ill pick up an Epilady, one of those things ladies use to rip out their hair. It has this revolving, figure8, guitar-like string one it; I keep my on it to stop the motor, and it goes, rrrrr, and then I can let it goreeeh [gradually increases pitch]. Using delay, and other kinds of effects, it can be really powerful"
Tunings:
Dropped D (most songs)
Dropped B (for prison sex)
Dropped B/E (for parabola)
BG: Do you ever feel inadequate as a player?
AJ: Yeah, absolutely. I am not a technical guy. I mean, you
see these guys from GIT, or wherever, and they know 50
different chord progressions in C(min)maj7. Im not there. I
like Frank Zappa, and Ry Cooder and Stevie Ray Vaughn and
Jimi Hendrix and all those guys, but after a while the lead
guitar thing started boring me. So I never really went there,
and it wasnt important to me to practice scales. So in that
respect, I feel really inadequate. If theres some really good
guitarist in the audience, and I know hes watching me, I just
go, God, he must think I suck! I play from my gut, and
play as passionately as I can, but Im not a very good guitar
player, comparatively.
