Danny pulleyn, yeah me, Master Yoda, Clarky, OllyNo1uk, ibanez_jem and jelly man are all going to B'mouth too. and I'm sure there's others!

for your info, if an englishperson asks you 'can I borrow a rubber?' they just want to borrow your eraser! there's nothing sick and twisted about it!

The pavement is the sidewalk. What you call the pavement, we call the road!

regards my Jem, it's now got to the stage of 'winging it'! It's really dodgy - i think the weather has slightly skewed the neck again as well....it needs sorting. but yeah, it's currently at the stage of being approximately in tune, and you can still get a cool tone out of it - it's just not the highly accurate piece of engineering it used to be; instead it's more like "are you lookin at my fretboard? i'm a f*ck*n Jem man! now back off!" hehehe

civgeek - Well, in poorly lit areas the roads have these things called 'Cats Eyes' down the middle, between the white lines. They don't light up per se, but they reflect the light of the car's headlights.

Zenfish:Hmmm,never heard of him.I take it that has no relevance with Zappas Bert Swaggart toon Its on“ The Best Band y Never Heard in Your Life” album,although the sentiments you posted come across similar,lol

On your other Question,I was born in Scotland where i lived for 23 years,moved to Dublin Ireland for 5 back t Scotland for 4 & i,ve been living in Barca for nearly 3 years now with my other half orange Tura & that as they say is that,lol

On another note,so t speak,thats some list y put me in with there,i,m flattered,these guys really know their stuff when it comes t Flamenco,i have t say i dont though,lol although i am now studying this amazing art in my spare time,i can fake it a bit but in comparison,any one of those cats could dust me in a sec,the flip side is people musicians “i call them people musicians because they see beyond notes” have a very healthy respect & an open mind for electric guitar players so i dont feel so erm.........useless,lol.I still get the occasional nightmare jazz/blues/ police wank coming t tell me i,m doing the wrong thing aka buy a BIG FAT guitar if y goin t play jazz *sigh* yet another one of the reasons why i prefer a normal day job now, having t listen t this consistent bull after gigs, 9/10 times from other guitarists with their circle of little police cadets but thanks t my girl/family/friends & the good people here at T2J i have a lot more faith in what i do.Yip,i,m climbing up that hill again my friend,my style,fuck em,i,ve had enough,onwards

Enough about me,what about yourself,whats your background Z?

962 ~ Simon ~ I stand corrected ~ swiss cheese for brains! ~ that's certainly what I meant to say ~ Nathan Lane was the voice of Timon from The Lion King, and played The Aunt /Starina in The Birdcage

ok, I’m now officially an idiot

tetovo - Yeah, Reel Satriani is good. There are only a few different songs on the tape, but it's still cool. I love the alternate versions of LFG that are on there. Be warned, though, it's a little depressing to watch Joe write the song If in about 30 minutes... ;-)

They're supposed to call me when they get either of them in so I can try 'em out... It's been a while, though, so maybe I should call them... I guess I'll wait another week or so before calling some other music stores in town...

Hey everyone, been a long time since i've posted regurlarly. Just been busy with music stuff etc.

I try and keep the self promotion to a minimum on here, but i have some new song samples as well as some video clips of me playing along to a couple tracks in the music section. I'd love to get your feedback on the stuff. Check it out and let me know what you think http://www.tyolivermusic.com

962 - You crazy Brits!!! Thanks for the info. I have it on file now.

Do Tha Stu Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah lol. I don't mind about the sound checks and all that I was just wondering what time artists generally arrive at the venues.

But I guess by telling me they can do sound checks around noon gives me an insight to what time they might get there, so thanks :-).

Zenfish:That my friend is all y,ll have t say to me on me,i have no words,well i had but i just edited them out,lol

962 Congrats on the backstage pass!

Tomorrow I'll be going the opening night of Harry Potter III. I've seen various kinds of reviews so it'll be interesting to see what it's like. I think it will be harder and harder to make movies of the books as they keep getting longer. You can only fit in so much in a movie if you want to keep it under five hours. Maybe they will divide one book into two movies, who knows.

Clarky,

Yes I remember the lydian dominant thing quite well. In fact, I still play it note for note (at least I think I've got it right)! I also applied it to a few blues progression other than just the bVI-V7 minor blues changes. Quite distinctive sound, that. I just love the melodic minor modes in general, not quite sure why...
