could you suggest some books or execrsises to loosen my hand and what ryhtm to work on, choosing the right rythm and any source from where i can pick up a good rythm.

Delfino, yeah I saw the end of that thing about the 101 weirdest things removed from the human body. The 101st was f*cking sick, I so nearly lurched! It was a pretty funny show tho. Shame I only saw the last ten!

If you are out there Joe??

962 - lol man, I'm just trying to exhaust every single possiblity! I want an amp that makes me go "Shiiiiiiiiiit!". I haven't tried a TriAmp yet, so if it does that then great. But for now I want to try out everything that seems even slightl suitable.

Mater Yoda, hehe, yeah I know.....obviously, you choose whatever you want. Although I would say, if were to buy, for example, a Mesa Boogie, and then try an H&K, i'd probably find myself going "shiiiiit!"

Of course, it's dependent on what kind of tone you want, but the classic H&K distortion is the sort that you can't help but grin at!

Orzar - G3 2004 will be in South America later this year.

That's not true.

"As far as I'm concerned, if you're on a G3 tour, you should play your ASS off!"

You're not on a G3 tour. Robert Fripp is. He can do what he wants to do.

"Isn't the point of these shows to serve the guitar up on a silver platter?!?!"

I thought G3 was about music.

I guess I'm not saying that all long songs are progressive, I'm saying that progressive songs are usually not short. Maybe that makes more sense? I dunno...LOL.

"I suspect it's the kind of thing where "I know it when I hear it", am I right?"

Yeah, if you don't to get into the technical stuff, most people know blues when they hear it.

"How can a song BE (or be called) "progressive" if it doesn't SOUND "progressive"?"

Songs can be complex, but deceptive...so they seem simple to the average passive listener when in reality there is a lot of different stuff going on. There's a better way to explain this, but I can't think of the right words now. I guess it's sorta like how one person might look at the Mona Lisa and say "Big deal...it's just a painting of a person.", but someone else who looks at it closer would sees all of the golden ratios hidden throughout the picture and realize that it's so much more than "just a person".

I completely forgot that Joe's birthday is coming up...LOL. It's good that you're on top of things.

jblaze, ahhh, Roddy Piper - now how can anyone forget Rowdy Roddy?? lmao!!! My former boss used to immitate him when he was in his prime as a wrestler. It wasn't pretty. lol! I work evenings, so I miss a lot of T.V., well, most of the prime time good stuff anyways. lol!

Austin, now you done did it and said the "S" word!! Better check your room tonight before you go to sleep ;-) As for being on top of things - that's the best laugh I had all day! lol! Ahh yeah, it's what's important, eh? lol!

I'm desperatly in need of the Guitar One's top 10 fastest shredders of all time list...my friend said Paul Gilbert was 2nd...I'm almost 100% certain he wasn't...and neither of us are prepared to back down...i know Michael Angelo Batio was first, and Yngwie was 3rd...so if anyone knows where i can find the list (google just comes up with a load of interviews with "the great kat")....it would be very much appreciated...

ronrenton Those lyrics you wrote to Just Look Up are great!

do the stu: I think a person loses credibility if he tries to sell his stuff and does not promote it. Ok, I dont want to argue with you anymore because I dont understand what you say in your posts. Bye!

Government Warning regarding purchase of UPS uniforms: There has been a huge purchase, $32,000 worth, of United Parcel Service (UPS) uniforms on eBay over the last 30 days.

This could represent a serious threat as bogus drivers (terrorists) can drop off anything to anyone with deadly consequences! If you have ANY questions when a UPS driver appears at your door, they should be able to furnish VALID I.D. Additionally, if someone in a UPS uniform comes to make a drop off or pick up, make absolutely sure they are driving a UPS truck. UPS doesn't make deliveries or pickups in anything, except a company vehicle. If you have a problem, IMMEDIATELY call your local law enforcement agency right away! , TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! Tell everyone in your office, your family, your friends, etc. Make people aware so that we can prepare and/or avoid terrorist attacks on our people! Thank you for your time in reviewing this and PLEASE send to EVERYONE on your list, even if they are friend or foe. We should all be aware!
