  • Who is Madison Cunningham?? That is today's question answered. Madison is one of my favorite artists and guitar players. She has a unique sound and playing style. I loved getting to pick her brain about all things music and non-music. In the comments let us know what you think about Juana Molina's Wed 21. Check out Madison's albums below as well!

      Michael Himes flats have to be on those, round strings pop out of the bridge saddles (though that looks like a different bridge than the original one on the Jazzmaster and Jaguar).

    • @michaelthimes
      @michaelthimes 4 роки тому +10

      @@joermnyc I disagree. Flats do not have to be on jazzmasters or jaguars and thousands of players enjoy roundwound strings on their offsets - Elvis costello, Thurston Moore, J Mascis, Kevin Shields and Kurt cobain to name a few. Of course the Mastery bridge was invented to overcome the issue you describe which is more likely to happen with aggressive playing and before it, a mustang bridge was the common retrofit. For what it's worth - the bridge in question looks like tune-o-matic style bridge which looks to be stock on that particular model. Maybe it's a roller style - hard to tell.

Her guitar playing is phenomenal and makes a so perfect ensemble with her voice. In a time of too clean and sweet music, I love the tension, the dynamic of her harmonies and riffs. The best discovery for ages in the music I listen to. Maybe could we have her in concert in south France after the Covid time ? That would be my 2021 wish...

    I really admire Madison's music. So refreshing. And I'm an old single note guy out of the 70s!

    Very interesting artist. Love her approach to both vocal melody and guitar playing.

    I really like seeing people just jam out in the same room. It's been a long time since I've been able to do that.
