I love to play Nothing Else Matters, Welcome Home Sanatarium (Metallica), No One Like You, Still Loving You, Bad Boys Running Wild, Loving You Sunday Morning, Stairway To Heaven, When A Blind Man Cries (Deep Purple), Smoke On The Water....., but I cannot play them perfectly. I think that improvisation is the best stuff to play on guitar. Improvistations shows your fellings and they tell a story about yourself.

I love it when my hubby takes his acoustic guitar to the lake with us. We hang out on the boat and he plays "Always Somewhere" while we catch some sunshine rays!

Scorp fan, you're right. I uses Marshall JCM 800 2203 model, from 86 year, i always tought about this head, a 85 model, but i did a deep revision this Feb, and i saw a factory quality control sticker, from Jan/86. 85 models have better transformers. I'm not worry, Marshalls have the tone. This head have modified pre-amp. Now i have enough overdrive for play true metal. Zakk uses a Boss OD1 overdrive, i don't uses it. I uses a master reductor for play rhythm/solos. The control knob is in rear pannel, i don't want ruine the look of this head. I also added a FX loop. I did this modification, and "muscle" pre-amp in 1997. 800 2203 model, hadn't these things. Zakk 2203 model, have a FX loop too. Zakk model is a re-edition of older model, maybe 82 model. Older 2203 have vertical inputs. Since 1985, have horizontal inputs. A great difference is the tubes. Mine has EL34 (European tubes) and Zakk model uses 6550 (American). This amps are extremely loud. I uses too 2 cabinets, for bigger sound. This is our common equipment.
I uses an Alesis unit for Delays. He uses different stuff. He uses Cry Baby wha. I uses Mu-Tron wha. I prefer Mu-Tron, cos have longer range. Santana uses it, and used like EQ control is outstanding. Zakk uses the wha in similar way.
I plays with Explorers, and a Robin Medley Standard. Robin has clearest sound than Explorers. For record, have better tone for rhythm, warm and clear, but for solos, i love Explorers. Have a aggresive output, and very heavy tone. You can play fat notes, with great body. And the fingerboard is very comfortable. In this field, Explorer beat to Les Pauls,playing in high frets. Type of fret helps too, i prefer Exporer frets. Robin uses DiMarzio DP 155 model pickups (ToneZone). I prefer this to PJ Marx models. Explorer uses Gibson 490 neck/500T bridge pickups. Sound very similar to Zakk. Maybe the key is in the amp, a good guitar, and THE HANDS. The hands are the "secret" of a player.
Zakk plays with an awesome model, his own Les Paul custom. Maybe the ZW Custom have a little hard fingerboard for play, but sounds giant. I dislikes EMG pick ups..but this Custom with 81/85 EMG's sounds like a hell guitar...is incredible. I enjoyed a lot with this beast. This guitar roars from the hell, screaming in 8 loudspeakers..a great experience.

WOW ROT !!! You have a really great setup !!! You are lucky to have a 1986 jcm800 head. I think they are much better than the reissue they do now. did you played a jcm800 reissue ? how does it sounds compared to an original one ? about zakks rig, he doesn't use delay at all. i read in a magazine about his setup and all he uses is dunlop hendrix wah, od1, dunlop univibe and ch1. its curious because he recentely released his signature zakk wylde overdrive (wich is a clone of the boss od1) but he doesn't use it in his rig :)) hehe pretty strange. ah and one more thing ... how do you set your amp head and your equalizer ?
hope to hear from you soon :)

I uses the presence at 9. In this way, i give bright to all the head EQ, not using high treble thanks to presence. (High treble sometimes, gives u an horrible feedback in high freq, and Explorers have very sharp sound, you shall be very careful in this matter). Bass to 3 or 4, it depends on where i'm playing. Mids to 6 or 6.5, and treble at 3. Master, at 3 (at 3 with this head you can dig a legion of other amps, i saw it sharing stage with other bands), but if the stage is big, more master..:))))and pre-amp at 9, (This pre-amp, after the modification, gives you enough od for playonly" enough,, not tons of overdrive that makes you sound crappy, (These Crates, or some Mesa pre-amps) without definition or broken body. Pre-amp, at 7, you can sound like Michael Schenker in Stranglers in the night. (changing also some values on EQ) He uses a Flying with Marshall heads (50 watts, 2205 model), and a bit higher (9), like Zakk. These values, maybe with a head without custom works, can be difficult for get. The tone is the original. WE added 2 ECC 83 for pre-amp circuit. Now, have 5 ECC83. I tested a reissue or 2, i'm not sure, but if haven't customized pre-amp, i cannot compare it. Also, i tested them with 1 cabinet only. The sound cannot be compared either, and different guitars. I'll try a Zakk Wylde head soon, with my equipment. I'll know how is ZW model. I know also some 900 heads, the best 900 is Dual Reverb, but isn't enough good for be compared with a 800 (less power and worst tone), DSL and TSL. I disliked deeply a 30 anniversary (purple tolex). I almost bought other 800 stack very cheap, a dude with money troubles wanted sell it to me, and when i went to him with the money, he fixed his trouble..:(((
Now, i guess that Zakk uses now lower mids. I have his reference sound in No more tears, or No rest for the wicked times. Also, he uses different strings, i use 09/46, but he uses very big thickness. Almost 70, in 6ª string. I don't know other stuff that Zakk uses. The hands, dude, are the key. He punish his strings very hard.

Yeah Rot, you are right ... great tone come from great hands :)
Zakk is really awesome ... i don't think there are any players on this planet who can do pinch harmonics as beautifull like zakk's ... they are his trademark. And thanks for the info
