shell, lol

It was indeed. Eric set fire to his guitar and did his usual bottle of bear slide guitar session. It would be great if they put Eric's footage on the DvD aswell, otherwise I don't think we'll ever get to see it.

Local / Yoda - I spoke to the luthier and he says that my 'neon' dissappearing pyrmids inlays look amazing on the ebony fingerboard.... I neeeed to see this now before I have a major internal systems failure....... lol lol

Phyrg Dominant - You're staying on then are you, glad you changed your mind, we need the funny stuff.

Naty - have you had a better day today, it's the weekend tomorrow and here at the moment the sun is shining. I expect you see the sun more than we do.

We are off show dogging in Leeds on Sunday, weather is supposed to be good. It's a good venue in Harewood Hall grounds. Sunny monster will be trying to bonk all the female dogs there, it's such a battle taking a sex mad dog with you. He doesn't care what breed they are either, he's such a tart.

USA - just listening to the news re your trapped miners, hope they get out ok.

LOL

satchfan - Did you see G3 2001? Vai's drummer was the drummer from Planet X. Virgil Donati.

vetteguy43 - You have to cut the end of the string string with the ball or loop off. Once done, you need an allen key 3 or 4mm I forgot exactly, and loosen the screw on the back of saddle of the string you want to change. Then insert the string and tighten the saddle lock. Then insert the string under the locking nut and under the string retaining bar if it has one. The pressure pad on the locking nut should be placed so that the edge on the top of the pad is parallel with the neck.

OK...I really need some help.

I'm going to buy an Ibanez rg550EX on thursday - I want to know about the tremolo. It's a lo pro edge, I want to know is this one that is good for Harmonics and swoops and stuff.

edges and lo pro edges are great for that-

On jamming today with Neil (which was great, hope you got home in one piece) - I decided that I need a new guitar. I need one which has tuning I trust. First I need some money though. Maybe I could dip into some inheritance...

Also my amp cut out. Great. I only just got it back the other day.

And also I need to practise more :P and better. Oh, how much can a man learn...

Anyway it was great fun, it'd be good to do it again sometime. Give me a chance to get my chops up to scratch first though...

CALLING ALL SAN DIEGO SATCH FANS!! Tonight (7/26) I want to invite you out to catch my instrumental rock group RDG at Dream Street, located at 2228 Bacon Street, in OB. For more info, plus free tunes, check out http://www.mp3.com/rdg

Can't wait to catch the MASTER at Humphrey's, tearing it up with Dream Theater and King's X. SBM is INCREDIBLE

Sharon: good day today, thanks! My last working day! I'm on holiday now for 4 weeks!!!!! And a cousin from New Zealand brought me 400 g of chocolate from down under! And the sun is shining but it's not too hot! Could it be a better day? Good luck Sunny Monster!

Clarky - Oh, man - I think I'm just as excited as you... lol

Shell/Dragonchild - There were cameras at the Thursday night show too. He recorded both shows, that's why I asked which one he decided to use. I know this because I was there on Thursday (when he played my blow-up guitar...) and there loads of cameras roaming around. And a friend of mine was there on the Friday, and he said they recorded that show as well. In fact, he said the Steve actually stopped in the middle of a song and start it again because he played a wrong note. Hmmm...

The Local Person - They weren't mistakes, they were "clash tones"... lol. Seriously though, whilst you are certainly no virtuoso (but few people are...) you are an incredible musician. This is probably because you're classically trained. Your theory knowledge is solid, and you know your way around the guitar fluently. The only thing that lets you down (apart from your amp) is the technical side of things, but that only takes practise. Years of it, but it's only practise... lol. But getting home was fun - I missed the turning for Hastings off the A272 and ended up going right into Hurst Green at totally the other end of that stretch of road, which brought me out on the A21, so then I knew where I was... Who knew driving could be so much fun?

refer to the Ibanez site. I think that somewhere there you can find information about changing strings. Or, search for "Ibanez changing strings" in Yahoo, you'll find something useful.

Consider changing the bridge and Humbuckers some day!
