Clarky - I loved that theory lesson on modulation. Did you take that story directly from my life???? lol. Keep them coming (so to say!!!)

CLARKY - The Plek Profile system scans your guitar neck whilst it is strung up and tuned to pitch, whilst scanning it records the height of each individual fret in relationship to each individual string, this information is recorded with a 1/100th mm accuracy. The system then shows a graphical representation of the guitars action and fret heights, with the required adjustments needed shown according to the action type you require, if nescessary we will adjust the truss rod and rescan the guitar to ensure the minimum amount is removed from the frets. Once we are happy everything is adjusted correctly the strings are removed from the guitar and the profiling process is started. Using a stste of the art computer controlled grinding wheel the system removes the required amount from each fret so that the neck has the optimum relief for the gauge of strings chosen and reprofiles them one at a time. When the grinding process has finished the guitar is restrung and rescanned and the system then shows the correct string height at nut and bridge and we adjust these as nescessary. The result is a guitar that is easy to play with very little rattling and even clear intonated notes. (reproduced without permission from Chandlerguitars.co.uk)

this is my name - the harmonics with the index finger work in the same way as using your thumb. You have to ajust your pick grip slightly... holding it between the middle finger and thumb so that you can extend the index finger forwards. Fret the 1st string at the 12th fret. When you pluck the string make the index finger make contact with the string at the same time as the pick. If the index finger touches the string over the 24th fret [or where it would be if you have a shorter neck]. You should now be hearing the note E but as though it was played on the 24th fret. If you now fret the 1st string at the 14th [F#] and move your picking hand a little closer to the bridge and play the harmonic you should now hear F# as if it was played on an imaginary 26th fret.... and so on... dont forget that as the notes get higher the frets get closer together... you'll find that the spacings between the points where you place the index finger get closer too... Use 'landmarks' as a reference [i.e. front edge of neck pick up, the front pole piece, etc...] You'll obviously not be able to play these notes very quickly so it's not a shredder thing... but then, not everything you do on a guitar should be at 100MPH....

you choose..

on the live front... my biggest problem will be forming a band that can do it... I need a drummer that can play real tight to a click because I'll be using sequencers to play the orchestral and choral parts... I have a drummer, bassist and keyboard player in mind - and I know that they are very interested in doing this... I also need a rhythm guitarist that plays 7-string..

R6 - Thanks for that

Phygdom - might look at Google then

Mr Nick - how much are they then?

Ethn - Don't knock the Mummy, I like these two films, fictional fantasy but watchable. One of my faves is the 5th Element.

Clarky - we don't get out of prams, we throw rattles out of them.

Just bought the Young Ones on DVD, funny stuff. ha ha.

Have a good weekend everybody and eat lots of lentils.

The Young Ones ruled. "What a complete bastard!" Haven't seen those since MTV had them on back in the days of Hall & Oates and Diamond Dave.

Watched Spiderman last night and have to agree it sucked. That two hours felt like two years in purgatory.

Crispin: That's the Superbowl I want to see as well but Philly has got me nervous. As long as Oakland takes it, it's all good though.

Clarky hey you dont have to send every edition of Theory Posse to my E-mail, i bit the bullet and went thru your 14 pages of messages, i reduced the font size to 8 and ended up with a stack of 18 papers.... it might be awile before i catch up, why didn't i join this place 4 months ago?!?!
