Roundhouse Tapes DVD

[burntoast]

Is it just me or does this DVD lack the intimacy of Lamentations?

 

[Ben_jamin]

^ Because it's not Lamentations. It's a different DVD.

i can agree with that

How idiotic. I know it's a different DVD. Does that mean I can't compare the two?

I just feel that The Roundhouse Tapes is cold overall. It could be the lighting; it could be the camera angles. Also the camera shifts are incredibly irritating.

i agree ^ imo its the lighting

I just watched the DVD again yesterday. And I noticed some stripe things on the back of the neck on Peter and Mikaels guitars. Almost looks like stamps. What are those stripes?

You could turn the brightness of your screen down.

Skunk stripes.

"Some electric guitars (like the Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster) have a dark wood inlay – contrasting to the light colored maple – running on the back of the neck, commonly referred to as a "skunk stripe". Strictly speaking it serves a structural function, unlike merely decorative inlay, because it covers a cavity for the truss rod that runs the length of the neck. With one-piece maple necks the truss rod is fitted from the rear of the neck, as opposed to being fitted from the front where it is covered by a separate fingerboard. Even though some makers fit the truss rod from the front of the neck and do not require a "skunk stripe" on the rear, they emulate this appearance by inlaying a purely cosmetic "skunk stripe"."

That's not what I meant. It looks like a white or green stamp put across the back of the neck.

Watch the DVD and you'll know what I mean.

Do you mean those stickers that are thin strips?

 

[Hybrid_Child]

Yeah. Stickers, that's the word.

What are those stripes? I would find it odd if it actually is stickers. That would be pretty annoying to the left hand when playing.

 

[affinityband]

i should imagine they are either:

Numbered, to make sure they have all the guitars after each show
named, so the roadie or whoever can tell whos guitar it is, for each song possibly with the tuning.

or both

 

[Hybrid_Child]

Hehe no that's not what I mean either.

Take a look here at 7:10 and you'll see it.

 

[mexicola]

It's probably for tunings/capos and shit.
