Then about 1961 my dad bought a Fender
Jazzmaster, and I flipped out—I realized there
were six strings as opposed to four!"
"One time the bass player couldn't make
it, and I told my dad I could fill in," he
recounts. Steve was 10, but it was the start of
his professional career.
Besides playing weekends with his dad's
country band and nights with his brothers

George Jones and Ray Price, steel guitarist
;erry Bird, James Burton, and of course
Chet Atkins.
Dottie West saw Steve playing and
singing in a club when he was 17, and
recruited him for her road band. "Luckily I
was a fairly decent student and had all my
credits!" Steve laughs. "I graduated early and
moved to Nashville."
Subsequent tours with Bob Luman and
Chet Atkins honed Warmer's natural ability,
and in 1977, at the age of 23, he was signed
as a solo artist to RCA records.
The last 18 years have seen a steady rise
Warmer's success (he's been aptly title "Mr.
Consistency" in the business)—a career
heretofore driven primarily by his vocal and
songwriting talents. Finally his admittedly
superior picking skills have been brought to
the foreground.
"I think of myself as being a musician fore-
most, and have dreamed about doing an
album like this for many years. The country
singing is what I'm basically known for—that
and my songwriting maybe. I'm hoping this
will expose another side of me to the world.
It really brings me full circle, because it
brings me right back to where I started."
No Noise Is
'hile the hum of a single-coil pickup is rarely a prob-
lem in live music situations, it can be a challenge to
record the perfect guitar sound in a quiet studio. I've had a

Good Noise number of letters from readers (many of whom have no

recording experience) who are interested in recording with
their Strats and Teles. So I thought it might be helpful to
pass along a few tips on minimizing the hum that is inher-
By Michael Laskow ent in single-coil pickup design.

Rotate your body (with your guitar strapped on) until the hum goes away. Sounds simple, but it works, especially at low
volume. If, on the other hand, you're trying to record a part that requireshigh gain and high level, some hum is inevitable
(even if you're pointed at true magnetic NortM).

2 Another obvious cause of hum is flourescent lighting.

Repeat this mantra: Flourescent bacL.lncandescent good.

3 If you're playing a lead, or a part that comes up in specific places in the song,punch
in to record right before the beat you enter on, and punch out of record a split second
after you finish the part.

4 There are in-line noise gates that help, but most are inexpensively built and tend to
alter the sound. Top-notch studio quality noise gates will alter the sound less, but cost
hundreds of dollars more. If you do use a gate, be sure to adjust the attack and decay
times for optimum performance, and set the threshold about a hair and a half further
than you think it should be. Don't ask why, but the things sound better when not tee-
tering right on the edge of the threshold.

5 The most practical way to eliminate hum? Get yourself into some lace. (I'm talking
about Lace Sensor pickups here, not Victoria's Secret lingerie! Fender offers many
combinations of pickups with different tone and noise characteristics. Lace Sensors is

Listen to music? Watch TV? Chances are you've heard Stef
Burns' guitar work: he's played on everything from Alice
Cooper albums to the Black Angus "cowboy" commercials!
Burns scored his first "name" gig in 1982: Jesse Collin
Young. That led to his stint with 80s popsters Pablo Cruise,
r
including the album Out Of Our Hands. "That was the first time
I ever heard myself on the radio," Stef explains. "What a
thrill!"
Next came two years with Sheila E., opening for Prince on
the Purple Rain tour. Following Berlin and Michael Bolton
tours, Burns hooked up with San Francisco bay area rockers
Y&T—with whom he's done three albums: Ten, a live album,
and the recently released Musicalty Incorrect.
In 1991, on a recommendation from Joe Satriani, Alice
Cooper auditioned Stef—who has been with him ever
since, touring and recording Hey, Stoopid and The Last
Temptation.
Somehow he manages to squeeze jingle recording
into his busy schedule, for "every product from Clorox
bleach to Levis to Hot Wheels!" Stef says.
With all the work he does, Stef gets almost all the
variety he needs from a Blues DeVilIe amp and his two
Strats: a custom shop model with Texas Specials and a
Strat Plus with Gold Sensors. "If I need something really
different I bring in the Telecaster," he affirms.

perfect: not only is the heavy metal pioneer Holmes'
'^>. favorite singer, but Joe's teacher and mentor was Ozzy's
V :N. original axe wizard, the late Randy Rhodes.
"I'd taken lessons from a couple of teachers, but never foi
very long," recalls Holmes. "Then I saw Randy play with Quiet
Riot at the Starwood. Randy was a real inspiring person—you'd practi
all week just so you could make him proud of you."
By the time he reached 18, Joe was a regular on the Los Angeles club
circuit, with his band, Tariff.
In 1990, David Lee Roth hired him, and he did several tours with the
ex-Van Halen vocalist.
Earlier this year Joe came full circle when he hooked up with
Osbourne. "For me to be doing this now with Ozzy is an honor.
And it's weird because I never really learned any of those songs-
but I always had the technique and the vibrato."
It's a good thing. After a couple of weeks to learn the

their self-proclaimed aversion to rehearsals?
Punks, right?!
Au contraire.
Look a bit deeper and you'll find three
'm Nghly-intelligent, humble men with a
very realistic attitude toward their suc-
cess. To wit: guitarist Dave Dederer,
who explains some of the methods to
their madness.

Which three guitar

strings remain on your instmment—the lowest
ones?
;si@SS
Yes. I'm tuned down a step
and a half from a regular guitar, in a root/fifth/root
tuning, so Db, Ab, Db—or C#, G#, C#— depending
On what you want to call it. [Bassist] Chris
[Ballewl just has the Db and Ab.
How does only having three strings affect
what you do?
It's very freeing, but it takes a lot more dis-
cipline at the same time. You have to really
think-about what you want to play, musically
first, instead of in terms of patterns on the gui-
(af. I think a lot of guitarists get stuck in a rut,

 playing scalar or chord patterns, and they don't think about
the sound of it. They don't think, "how does the voicing that
I'm choosing here affect the way the song's being presented,
and the dynamics of the song?"
That's the key to making music instead of just playing your
instrument. What we're about as a band is making music as a
trio, and I think you could give all three of us any three instru-
ments and we would still come up with some music that is
characteristic of what we are and what our influences are.
With five strings, we can play any chord under the sun—a
minor seventh flat five with a sharp eleven if we want to—and
all the tonal elements are there. One of the nice things,
though, is that the instrument is tuned in fifths, and a fifth is
ambiguous—not necessarily minor or major. That frees us up
melodically to move from minor to major and yet stay in the
same chord progression.
FF: There is also quite a wide range of dynamics in your music.
DD: We work hard on that together, to make the song breathe,
to make it more than just a 2- or 3- or 4-minute blast that's all
at the same intensity level.
I am sort of in charge of dynamics in the sense of increase
in volume or changing the texture of the harmonic content of
the music, by changing to a
. 6' , more distorted sound or using
a fuzz box and a phase shifter.
And on a Strat, the five way
selector lets you get a pretty amazing variety of sounds.
FF: Is a Strat your main guitar?
DD: Yeah, I'm playing a Mexican Strat right now. Strats and
Telecasters are really the only guitars I like very much at all.
Plus I have this amazing Fender Custom Shop cabinet (a Tone-
Master 412—ed.). It's fairly compact yet very deep, so it seems
to have really tight and powerful low end, which is important
for the way we're tuned.
FF: How did the Presidents' sound evolve?
DD: For a long time it was basically two acoustic guitars, and
singing. As we've gained popularity, we've had to put on a completely different kind of show. We've become
We've much more of a rock band in the last nine months.

Poor Fred. Unfortunately, there is no law requiring speaker manufacturers to use

one consistent means of rating their cabinets. People need to know how to make

accurate comparisons between one model or manufacturer and the next, or they'll

be comparing apples to oranges (or in some cases, grapes to watermelons.)

If you look at Fender speaker specifications, you will normally

see three independent power ratings: EIA, Program, and Peak.
The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) developed the
RS-426A test to rate a loudspeaker's full power handling
capability. The test blasts a speaker with a filtered spectmm
of noise representing "pop" music for eight hours.
"Program" and "Peak" ratings are used to make speakers
seem more impressive. So when comparing speakers, make sure
you are comparing different speakers by the same rating format.

^ne of Fender's most innovative and popular string designs is the
'Fender Super Bullet. Now we are proud to introduce Fender's new

Why The Bullet End?

Designed to fit the block of a Fender tremolo perfectly, Super Bullet
strings help create the strong, solid tone that has always been associat-
ed with Fender instruments.
Equally important is the reduction of tuning problems sometimes
associated with Fender tremolos. With a traditional ball end string,
when the tremolo is depressed the ball end often gets stuck in the trem Super Bullets are

The Ventures' Legacy
Lives On] 'n 1960, the Ventures had the No. 2 hit in the
•nation with Walk Don't Run — two minutes of
smooth, vibrato-bar-charged lead guitar work, echoey
chord changes, pulsating bass, and solid, in-your-face
drumming.
From that point on, instrumental music's floodgates

drummer Howie Johnston, who was later replaced by
Mel Taylor—were unquestionably its coolest practi-
tioners. (Bob and Nokie eventually swapped roles.)

and Wipeout. (continued on page 42) work played amidst a wash of reverb
and vibrato that would lend the combo
their unmistakeable, trademark sound.
Before joining the Ventures in 1959,
Nokie was backing up country legend
Buck Owens. "Bob and Don came into a
club that Buck ^Jc^i was working
in Tacoma,
Washington, and
they saw me playing
and liked what they
heard," Nokie recalls.
"They then asked me if
I'd join up with them
and I said yes."
Nokie recorded and
performed with the Ven-
tures until 1 967, and
then rejoined the group
briefly in the early 70s before leaving
again to pursue a dual career as
solo artist and session musician in
Nashville. Among the many country
artists he's backed over the years, in
addition to- Buck Owens, are Lefty
Frizzell, Ferlin Husky and Glen Campbell.
More recently, Nokie has recorded an
album titled Nokie's Celebration, which
includes standout renditions of a variety
of tunes such as "Sir Duke," "Penelope,"
"Long Train Runnin'" and "The Shadow
of Your Smile." [If you'd like to order a
copy, write to Nokie Edwards USA Fan
Club/ P.O. Box 370, Brownsville, OR
97327.] As for the future, Nokie will be
conducting guitar workshops across
the U.S. in addition to recording a
country album with David Frizzell.

tone that's perfect for lead as well as rhythm work.

LlWIITED EDITION VENTURES JAZZ BASS

A major ingredient in the Ventures' high-energy sound is
the driving, pulsating bass, courtesy of Bob Bogle, who
helped design the Limited Edition Ventures Jazz Bass.
The midnight black transparent 20-fret guitar comes
equipped with two Fender U.S.A. single coil Jazz Bass
pickups, two master volume controls and one master
tone control. Like the Limited Edition Stratocaster and
Jazzmaster, the guitar also boosts a rosewood frefboard
with square pearloid inlays.

LIMITED EDITION NOKIE EDWARDS TELECASTER

Tone, feel and action are the three qualities of the Limit-
ed Edition Nokie Edwards Telecaster—the perfect instru-
ment for Nokie's versatile, melodic soloing style.
The body, which consists of laminated ash,
basswood and maple with a flame maple top,
has Stratocaster style contours. "The rock
maple running down the middle of the guitar
