Yngwie Malmsteen is Buckethead.....He needs to finish buckets of KFC before every show. Now I know how he put on the chub.

Artanis I i tried that keeping the beat thing like you said along with NOTE or Surfing.............................lets just say i'm a better golfer than i will be a drummer... thanks though

oh speaking of...i went golfing today, i think i hit the ball straight down the fairway 3 times? 9 holes i shot a 53! damn i'm on fire!!! someone take my clubs and bash me over the head with them please!

anyone i was playing with chords today and i learned an Amaj7 chord... in the open position the chord is something like this:

e---0, B---2, G---1, D---2, A---0, E---x

and i noticed i was playing it wrong the whole time but the chord i was playing has a really cool sound to it. and it looks like this:

e---0, B---3, G---2, D---3, A---0, E---x

now what i'm trying to ask is, What is the second chord? the one that was supposed to be the Amaj7 but isnt...thank you to whoever can help me!!!

Bob

Hello, Mr. Satriani

I just wanted to say that you´re a genius, your music is wonderful, and I want to thank you for every song you´ve recorded, and for the ones I still haven´t listened to... I also have a question for you: Do you ever get nervous before a concert? I mean, you´re awesome!!!

Okay, trutina's online now (I'm not talking to him, though...he has an away message up.)... I thought I'd mention this so people here don't freak out because of my "Where's Bil?" thing from earlier. Anyway...

JS JS - Yes, my tickets are for the Satch / Deep Purple tour.

Don't worry...Joe will play more than four shows on the west coast. You can tell that the list is incomplete because there isn't a San Francisco show listed. ;-)

It really doesn't matter, though...the Greek Theatre is my all-time favorite venue. Did you ever get to see a show there when you were in CA? There are no bad seats, the sound is perfect, the setting is perfect...I love everything about that place. This will be my fourth concert at the Greek Theatre (the other three were Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes, Dio / Deep Purple / The Scorpions, and G3 2003).

Thanks for the info about the southern CA AEW shows. I'd catch one of them normally, but I'll be here at home on winter break during the last half of December and most of January. I'll catch Joe in Sacramento and / or San Francisco.

Do you want your chord to show up like this...?

e---0
B---3
G---2
D---3
A---0
E---x

You just have to put a (br) with []s instead of ()s at the end of each line.

hay all,

my birthday today and i have an english exam.

it's such a nice day in england and i've got to be inside.

Joe's set from Euro show # 1:

Hi, im going to the G3 in birmingham cool or what! Cant wait to see vai and satch they are the dudes! I have got a Ibanez jem like steve vai's! (drool drool) That is the most playable guitar!

Laterz Guys

thanx all you guys for the happy 1300....

and a parallel that just occured to me is that Mozart died writing his own Requiem Mass.....

maybe I am in fact completely dead..
I wonder if this will impact my tax for the better..
like being dead for tax reasons..

if someone was to ask you to place a bet with everything you own.. being 1-0 up.. at 89 minutes.. that you'll lose 2-1 by full time.. you'd just laugh and tell 'em to fuck off..

so how did England do it...

hey have a knack for securig defeat from the jaws of victory...

but the upside is the unity.. it is just so nice to see so many Gearge Cross flags everywhere.. hanging out of windows, flying from cars.. just everywhere.. I just love this stuff..
not Union Jacks.. George Cross flags.. beautiful stuff..

ok.. so we lost our first match... if there is a gad and he's listening... and of course he's English [as all nice gods should be]..

England will meet France again.. in the final.. and stuff 'em 3-0..

thanks for all the help and info I've had so far..

that france game last night was a joke....

the bob - I've been playing a long time.. 20 something years.. I've been at the level I'm at now for more than 15 years at least.. every since I started I was always regarded as gifted.. even when I was a total novice.. I think this had something to do with the speed that I learn and pick things up.. I do realise that I have a natural ear for music and knew this even before I could play an instrument.. a huge turning point in my playing was learning Eruption by Van Halen.. this opened up a whole new world of playing for me.. and when Satch, Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore and the likes showed up, for me it was like learning more of the same but with slightly different approaches [although Malmsteen took more figuring out than he other guys]...
but I don't only learn solos.. I used to learn every part of every song on every new album I bought.. so I think that my playing grew over a long evolution.. Sabbath, Motorhead, Judas Priest, AC-DC, UFO, MSG, Iron Maiden, Angel Witch, Scorps, Led Zep, Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, PFM, Trace, Thin Lizzy.. then EVH 1 shows up and knocks me over.. it took a long time but I figured it all out in the end [we didn't have nice guitar mags back then with everything all tabbed out.. so I had to do it all by ear with a lot of trial and error]..
in the 80's I was well into Night Ranger, Journey, Ozzy, V Moore, Malmsteen and those types.. tso I learned all that stuff too.. Journey and Night Ranger are not only about blistering solos.. there are great lessons to be learned about song construction too.. and solos that complement and add dynamics to the songs..
In the 80's I got into funk in a big way.. Average White Band, Boottsie, Clinton, Level 42, Maceo Parker, etc..
my love of orchestral music started at a very young age [maybe younger than 10 years old] and stayed with me... so from the moment I learned to sight read I was learning violin, flute, organ, cello, piano etc music.. I didn't get greatly into classical guitar because I've never been particularly comfortable with finger style.. but that didn't stop me learning from the masters... and all that stuff slotted nicely into my general shredder education during the 80's and early 90's..

mowlie - happy 25th... shame about the boys in white tho...

so in all fairness, the best team won..

but as an English patriot.. they are lucky bastards and we'll do 'em up proper next time..

StringG - Thanks for the birthday wishes........

Alexandre - Thanks for the birthday wishes and for the good luck to England.

Do The Stu - Cheers bro...........

TheBob - I think the chord you are playing is a Dmin add9/A but a very odd fingering for it.

Clarky - Cheers for the b'day wishes Paul and I did get bladdered Clarky Style yesterday. Suffering for it now tho........

What the fuck happened to England last night??!!??!!??!! What a shite ending to a perfectly good birthday!!!

Oh dear, oh dear. 2 - 1. Dreadful. They do this every time: score the first goal, get complacent, and make stupid mistakes in a fit of panic when the other side start showing them that actualy the game isn't quite over yet. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if Beckham had put that penalty away, rather than Barthez saving it. The boot may have been on the other foot then (pun fully intended... lol). I think someone should tell Zidane to shave his head though, because the way his hair is at the moment just looks frankly ridiculous!!!! lol

On a more positive note, I got my results for last term's exams today. That was quick - it's only about five weeks into this term... lol. Anyway, I got a 2:1 for Live Performance Analysis/Musical Directorship and a 1st for Sight reading and Aural Perception. Same results as last time, which is nice (although they're different modules obviously). It's official - I FUCKING ROCK. lmao

I watched 'Return Of the King' last night after the footie. I've now seen the entire 'Lord Of the Rings' trilogy. Those films would make a bloody good book... :-P

mowlie - A belated Happy Birthday dude! Have an Alkaseltzer on me!!! lmao

Clarky - I had a great time yesterday. Can't wait to do it again very soon!! Sometimes I felt a little out of my depth, but I actually quite enjoy that feeling, in a sadistic kind of way... lol
