[Superman]

I txt'd a very good friend yesterday morning to ask about guitar compression, thinking this might be a helpful tool. This guy was a contemporary of the Pearl Jam guys and the Alice In Chains guys, who admired his guitar skills for good reason. Jason had continued to play and is now in his 40's. He replied with a bunch of information I didn't understand, so I asked him about mix problems and guitars stepping on each other and everyone else. He laughed, and said he has come to the conclusion that his guitar is almost always too loud. He said that when he is having trouble hearing himself, it is probably still too loud. I need to find some guys who are more seasoned musicians. Guys who've BTDT, and don't have hungry egos. Why are there almost no guitarists who fit this description?
