FIREWIND/OZZY OSBOURNE Guitarist Demonstrates Signature Pickups (Video)

November 10, 2011

A three-minute video clip of FIREWIND/OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Gus G. demonstrating his new signature series Fire Blackouts System pickups by Seymour Duncan can be seen below.

The Gus G. Fire Blackouts System blends the power of active pickups and the response of passive pickups.

"This system combines the massive tone, kick and distortion of Blackouts with the rich tone and expressive feel of my favorite passive pickups," Gus G. says. "It responds perfectly to all my picking techniques, and more of my personality comes through than with any active pickup I've tried."

Gus G.'s instructional DVD for Rock House, "Lead & Rhythm Techniques", was released in October 2010. In this program, Gus reveals the secrets that have propelled him into the guitar stratosphere and shows you how to incorporate them into your playing. Learn the natural minor and Phrygian major scales, patterns, scale sequences and full neck runs he uses to take control of the fret board to form soulful leads that rip into shred masterpieces. Learn diminished sweep and chromatic arpeggios, emotional bending techniques and how to create a minor 3rd harmony lead. Gus reveals the chords, voicings, syncopated, pivoting staccato, interval, and clean picked rhythms that form the foundation of his style. He analyzes many of his FIREWIND leads and song structures complete with full band backing tracks that you can use the apply what you learn.
