Iambic - if you can get your hands on a copy of Guitar Techniques magazine then you'll find somewhere towards the back a pretty complete glossary of symbols and terms for notation and tab... it makes for great reference material.. if you can't get it let me know, I'll photocopy it and mail it to you...
and I quite agree that the emotional content always takes precident over the theoretical stuff.... however, the more stuff that exists in your mental tool box, then wider is the availability of things for your creative side to utilise...

kinger - many guitarists suffer with a similar problem... kind of like trying to grow a tree from the top down.... the roots are therefore not that well established so the tree as a whole is a little unstable.... it's nothing that can't be corrected though.... you should find that, as the basic principles [the roots] become more solid, some of the more advanced ideas that you've picked up along the way will begin to fall into place and make a great deal more sense...

PhryDom: I think you're a lucky man after all, you can see how many friends you've got here, treasure them (us!) all.
jblaze: who can reassure us you've got a clean record, for example?

who jack - yeah that site is soooo cool!!!
deathcube - I'm a fan of takamine guitars ( i have a g-series electro-acoust)
but I also like ovation guitars and Louden guitars!!!
epiphone acoustics aren't too bad, but I wouldn't class epiphone as an acoustic guitar company.

theory posse - maybe it's time to go find some notes.......
We will find the notes in a major scale by working them out from a given 'tonic'....
First a few simple rules......
the letters that represent each degree of the scale can only be used once
they will always occur in alphabetical order until you get to 'G'. In this case the next note is 'A'.
You will also need to know the notes of the chromatic scale so here there are.... use them for reference:
A, A#/Bb, C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, and so on.....
note that A# and Bb are the some pitch [as in key on a piano or string and fret number on a guitar] but they are not the same note. They are mearly two different names for the same pitch.
Also, you neet to know the spelling of a major scale.
tonic [where you start from]
major 2nd [2 frets up]
major 3rd [4 frets up]
perfect 4th [5 frets up]
perfect 5th [7 frets up]
major 6th [9 frets up]
major 7th 11 frets up]
octave [12 frets up]
So here goes.....
when the Tonic = C the scale is C, D, E, F, G, A, B
when the Tonic = G the scale is G, A, B, C, D, E, F#
when the Tonic = F the scale is F, G, A, Bb, C, D, E
try calculating the scales above to see if you come up with the same answers... if you don't then let me know.... we'll figure out where you went of course and set it right....
if you cheat you are cheating yourself [not me]....
if you don't fully grasp this stuff then as we move on you'll start getting lost.. so make sure you say so if you're stuck..
the most stupid question is the one not asked
try working out a major scale where the Tonic is:
E
D
A
Bb
C#

Tapper5 - My friend and I will make it just before 2:00pm. We'll be giving you a call at 1:30pm latest.
matt king - More sustain with an Edge and 2 springs? Man, this makes no sense to me. I mean JS's don't have the greatest sustain setup as it is. A small basswood body with a floating bridge. Still among my fave.
Matt You should check out Herc Fede for a Donnie painting on your JSWH. email Rich Harris at rich@ibanezrules.com.
He will give you Herc's info. I have seen pictures of Herc's work. He does this glow in the dark blue Donnie paint. It is absolutely breathtaking. The pictures of this are at www.jemsite.com , look through thet JS forum. Clone 2 is considering getting it done to his BP.
PLUM LOCO - Thanks man! Means a lot. I haven't played since I wrote this. It kinda hurt my hand again.

Good work again clarky, very clear. I hope everyone gets C# right. Although G# might be even trickier with Fx and all. Though you'd be wise (in most cases) to forget about that and just call it Ab.

Clarky -- Thanks man :) and by all means you're welcome for all support by me! I know you'd do the same for me...
JS Clone 1 -- Hehe for some reason it works out like that? And plays so much better! Oh, heh and Rich Harris is actually a close friend of mine :) Been to his house a few times and have seen his collectionin person...
And I don't want a Donnie painting. I have an original design I want to get painted on there. Something that will make the guitar a little bit more individual!
Later...

WOW, haha, I had this sweet dream last night. Usually in my dreams they morph alot into other story lines, like i'll be doing something, watchign someone becoming them plots/storys change...crazy stuff. I was at Joe's concert and he played Raspberry Jam.... WITH lyrics! After the intro of the song, he'd play, sing, play, sing, etc. But he used the whammy pedal and a wah pedal to distort his voice an octave really high and robotic sounding almost. But his attitude and lyrics were funny(can't remember any). Then it was ME on stage play'n, then later I somehow was on a boat...then in a store looking at candy....
Question: When doing a whammy bar scream with the harmonics from the right hand and left on the bar, Does Joe or any of you mute the other strings you're not hitting? cause when I pull my bar up or down after hitting a harmonic all the other strings sound out so i try to mute them but i still get a lot of dirt from them.
Thanx
-Nick
