Hey joe, I red recently and interview where you were talkin' about Billy Gibbons "broken cable" sound...

I think I got a possible solution. I think he uses a special control pedal. I know it exists. It a control pedal sided with a long plastic tube that can fit on and control any pedal knob. When you move the pedal (just as a wah), you can control anything you want. Just "plug" it on any distortion pedal which the gain button has contact malfunction (I'm sure your guitar tech can work on it), and GO ON MAKE ANOTHER RECORD !

I'm working on a guitar version of the Rite Of Stravinsky, trying to imitate the sounds of the orchestra (reeds, strings, brasses, percussions). I'd very much like to send you a copy. Where can I ?

I apologize if my english doesn't good.

5 pages..124 posts..call me mr unadventerous, but i think i'll give it a miss :)

Master Yoda,

yoda - the lick in the Baptist is about 1/2 way through the 1st movement...
so we're past the quiet part with the "This Love" type of clean guitars where Salome starts to dance for Herod....
the next part is where it starts to get heavy and the lead guitar is playing those quick rising runs each ending with a long held note...
"the lick" [I guess 'section' would be better] occurs in the next section where the music modulates to Dm.. there's a fair bit of harmonic / meldic minor in there... the decending arpeggios that are not swept but non-alternately picked because they are played more like a lick than a regular arp... and they are interleaved with little Mozart-ish figures [with appogiatura.. sot of Turkish Rhondo style / ripped off... lol..].. and the section ends with a sizeable sweep [Bb major I think] into a long high note[B I think] that takes you into the quick rising runs where the tempo doubles.....

god.. I don't even know if this makes any sense... lmao....

alternatively... lol... it's the fiddly bit betwen the quit bit and the funky bit... lol...

have you every tried working that section out???
it's a bitch.... no question.. and I'm dreading that bit when we do it live...

I'd be interested to see what you come up with if you try to work it out.... then I'll show you how it really goes.. see how close your ears get you to the real version...

not played that footie game... we have FIFA 2000 and something.. it is a good 'un?

Clarky,

Rockets & Atoms & Science...oh my!

Clarky - No, I've never tried learning that lick/line/section/passage/whatever actually. I've been too busy trying to trasncribe John Scofield and Pat Metheny stuff in a vein attempt to find out why the fuck they sound so cool when, essentially, they're playing all the wrong notes!!! LMAO. I'll defintely give your lick a shot though.

So you're FIFA guys huh? It's weird - they're kind of rivals... lol. Pro Evo is fucking ace. Really lifelike. From what I've heard of FIFA, Pro Evo apparently takes more skill and tactical awareness to play. All the magazines have called "the best football game ever". You should defnitely check it out...

I'm defintely up for coming to that rehearsal too, if it would be okay with everybody. I think I'm going to be in Hastings that weekend though, so I'll probably have to catch the train to Worthing (that's Mick's place, right?) and meet you at the station if that's okay.

Stevee T - Dude, that must have been fucking nuts! Did you chat to either of them (Joe Pass or Pat Martino I mean)? I bet those guys would have some interesting stuff to say...

clarky: Actually I would love to see NASA let the astronauts smoke up. whats better than being stoned in space? jeez, that would be the perfect trip ever.

You seem to be having a lot of songs coming from biblical themes. Would love to hear some of it. Is any of it up yet?

962: no problem man! anytime.... have you heard the song by the los lonely boys called heaven? you should give it a listen. its beautiful.

wow! today is America's greatest commercial day!!! shop till you drop! kinda crazy, but who am I to give people shit if they take advantage of the holiday sales? I just find shopping at placed like the mall of america stupid. last year I went with a bunch of friends and all we ended up doing was going to the food court cause everything that was being sold on sale sucked. The only place that had some decent sales was ummm, nothing. I really want to see a Santa clause at hot topic though.

Thanksgiving dinner was GREAT!!! My cousins werent as annoying this time. They were guests so I had to be nice to them. But I did manage to sneak in to the KFC and get some good ol' fried chicken for myself. I was surprised it was open. I am not a fan of thanksgiving recipes but the pumpkin pie was pimp. Later on I went over to my ex gf's place and got trashed with her friends. Then we went to the bar and got a little more trashed.

Master Yoda,

I was sooo star struck (these were Gods & I was a teenager)...I was like a deer in the headlights...& was experiencing some very fine Columbian Gold...coffee that is.....riiiiiiight!

beedoo,

Welcome to the site....post some of the Stravinsky...why don't ya...ehh?

klytus,

I know that someone posted a review a day, or two after he played the Beacon Theatre in NYC this year, and they specifically mentioned which model glasses Joe was wearin'.

May take a little searching!

DCK, Zen.. Those first few Dimeola albums were always my favorites from a shred point of view. I kinda lost interest when he started doing all the World Sinfonia type stuff. I did see him in the late 90'ies at the Toronto Jazz Festival with Jean Luc Ponty and Stanley Clarke, they were phenomenal. I just picked up a Montreaux DVD with Al concerts from '86 and '93 but I ain't checked it out yet. Will report when I have watched the stuff....
