Zen - the ultimate path to creativity is found via a healthy blend of a willingness to absorb anything and everything... all styles, all instruments, techniques, technologies, no bounderies... and drive this with a curiosity for experimentation, imagination and creativity...

musique sans frontiers

here's a nice introduction...
before you learn to tear it up like a shredder, learn tio riff...
the riff is the vibe, the attitude... the aggression....

every tried learning all riffs to Unleashed in the East by Judas Priest????
so the album is a little dated... however... the riffs are still relavent today...
they're not too tough... no Drop-D tuning..
and you'll pass though a raft of techniques from power chords, single note riffs, muted riffs with power chord accents.. etc...
another nice riff school is found in the first two Dio albums..

if you fancy some qulity riffing but less metal centric try learning Strangers in the Night by UFO and Live and Dangerous by Thin Lizzy - and these two also contain great rock solos that are playable

once you start picking up the pace of your playing then raise the level of difficulty...
if you feel inclinded to head for the EVH and Malm albums..
then do it gradually and pass though other simpler albums first..

no point in going to the dojo and studying 1st dan kata on the first day..

now with the really hardcore metal bands like Slipknot and Fear Factory there are a few things you need to appreciate first....

1 - they are shit tight: why? partly because they are better players than many give them credit, partly because they drop tune which makes riffing much easier and also because of the production tools in the studio

2 - they have a giant sized tone: why? because the guitar parts are 'tracked' [recorded many times in unison and over laid] to fatten the tone...

so... you'll never sound like them or be that tight...
in fact, live they can't 100% recreate it either...

but that don't stop you learning the riffs..

sounds to me as though you're in need of "riff replacement therapy".. lol..

good luck and enjoy the ride... and questions... just shout..

then I realised... it's all lies... I'm not reformed at all...
and I'm not proud... I just don't give a shit...
so if all that was my fault... I didn't even notice... lmao....

Avarice is my custom 7... she's been an active member of my harem for over a year now.. and is a key part of my new album.... and she's a babe.... shwing......

one of my cabs is real old... it was old when I got it and I've had it for years... lol.... years ago it cost £100..
my other cab is 18 months old and was something like £350.. it's nice.. and makes my old one look really scabby... lol..

anyways... I thought Brainspiller and Snuffmovie wasted him..
so this wolf2 must be a poor imitation of the original and late wolf... lol..

can any German speakers translate this for me????
I'd really appreciate it...

Sehr geehrter Herr Tebyl,

es freut mich, dass der Spot auf DSF positive Assoziationen bei Ihnen erzeugt hat. Die Musik wurde exclusiv für diesen Spot, der übrigens unter dem Namen "fluid motion" als Kampagne in ganz Europa zu sehen ist, komponiert. Der "Verursacher" dieser Musik ist Paul Clark. Tatsächlich existiert in unserem Hause nur unwesentlich mehr als das im Spot gezeigte. Aber vielleicht werden Sie hier fündig: http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Paul_Clark/

mit freundlichen Grüßen,

cuthbert1776 - "You are overlooking one key thing. The Colts' defense SUCKS!!!"

LOL...yeah, I know. I think it would've been a shootout in the 40s or maybe even 50s, but I still think the Colts might've won. Then again, maybe I'm just thinking that because Manning is the quarterback on my fantasy football team and I want him to score more points. ;-)

If you don't want people to respond to comments that you post on a public message board, maybe you should email them to people privately.

"If there were any people I talked about it was no one on T2J."

You didn't say who you were talking about, so how was I supposed to know?

"Also, the person I talked about being intolerant to the right wing party was Fat Mike from NOFX."

You originally said "many people" not "the person".

"Are you some kind of police here?"

How am I acting like the police?

"You do not need to be the mouthpiece."

I was speaking for myself.

"My biggest issue with you is that you keep directing people what to post and what not to."

That is not true. I have said several times on this website that I have no problem with people having their own opinions.

"We do not need a moderator, which you are trying your hardest to be."

I am not trying to be a moderator.

"You need to get rid of your "holier than thou" attitude towards others."

I have no such attitude.

Hehehe...just think of it as an introduction, like The Bells Of Lal (Part I) or The Forgotten (Part I). It doesn't have to be understood on its own, it just gets you in the mood for the next part of the song.

Also, in Ricky Garcia's Jemfest Radio interview, Joe said he would like to film one of the upcoming west coast shows for a DVD release.

Several of the guys in my suite had colds last week. I didn't catch anything then, and it looks like they're over everything now...so I think I got lucky.

You're not understanding my point. "Behavior" and "opinions" are two different things. It's not an excuse for his behavior (mood, etc.). I didn't say anything about his opinion or his point of view. I've said before that I'm not trying to keep people from expressing their opinions.

I just took a test about an hour ago. If I find out next week that I failed it, does that mean it's okay for me to read T2J while I'm pissed off and upset, swear at everyone, and put them in lousy moods? Wouldn't it be better for everyone if I waited until I was in a good mood? Being in a bad mood because of one thing shouldn't be used as an excuse to be pissed off at other things in life.

"at no point did either of us say "you can't say that"."

I'm not saying that either. As I said before, I have no problems with opinions...it's the unnecessary swearing and namecalling that goes with them. That stuff just isn't needed. I said that in a post to you over the weekend.

"it was my effort to help you understand his behaviour"

I understand his behavior.

waz up people

Civgeek

Thanks, I should do what you said (his nose is very big and flat to begin with............wait till i'm done with him). Today i went back to school and was like AFTER SCHOOL BEHIND THE PLAZA.............but i didn't show up.........nither did he. But, if i don't finish this now.....it will just carry one till i finish school...................a few years down the road yet!!!!!!!!!

TheBob, No problem man, Glad I could help! lol

No, No Do the Stu, The power Cosmic is my favorite song -er intro on that CD. I like that better than PC2. It's just that when I first heard it I was just like, huh? What the fuck was that? Play it again.

It took me a whole year after the cd came out to accept the whole electronica thing. I couldnt get past Until We Say Good bye before I would say to myself " turn that shit off, what the hell is he thinking playin that garbage." Then one day I decided to give it a listen all the way through, suddenly I couldnt hear enough of it. I still don't like Until We say Good bye or Champange all that much but asaide from those two songs that is one of the dopest albums of all time. Well to me anyway.

When the album first came out I was still use to hearing your average blues, minor, minor penatonic, harmonic minor, melodic minor, ect, ass solos and I liked to practice my boring ass improves over them. I can make some good sounding shit over 90 percent of any song that exist. I have the gift of improv. But when I heard PC part 1 I was stumped with guitar in hand like, how the hell??? Some type of minor scale or mode I dont know? I still dont know, shit. I gather it's some kind of symetrical scale or some shit. We'll you seem to know a lot of stuff. What is it?

I can now feel out the general Idea of it on the fretboard and when I look at my fingers they make the same paterns like a whole tone scale or somethin' throw some string bends in there and I can imitate the song quite well. Maybe not note for note but pretty damn close. I still just dont understand the logic behind it though.

Dr Mindcrime - Remastering is done to enhance sound quality.

The process you described (messing with panning and stuff like that) is remixing.

Joe's albums have been remastered, not remixed.

Joe, I've been listening to"flying in a blue dream". Strange?,maybe,but nevertheless, it truly is beautiful music,indeed!

It seems God chose you to be a music man joe,and you play with all your skill, from the heart. That's where God speaks,To The Heart. THAT is what I enjoy about your music. It comes from the heart!

ttyl

Woohoo...I'm listening to Jordan Rudess' Rhythm Of Time. It's an awesome album...everyone needs to go buy it (How many times have I said that, now?).

Sorry...I don't know what scale Joe uses in the part of TPC2K(PI) (LOL...what an abbreviation) you're talking about. Maybe Clarky or matt king or someone can help you there...

Stu Hamm has not played with Satch since the G3 2001 tour. At the time, Joe wanted to move in a different musical direction. Among other things, Stu wanted to take a break to spend more time with his baby daughter. Satch recorded SBM and ITLIS? with Matt Bissonette on bass.

Yes, Z.Z. plays bass on Bamboo (just part of it, though...not the whole song).

I got your email...I'll respond to those questions (about LTE and some other stuff) there, instead of posting them here.

I think the event took place a few weeks before the start of the G3 tour. Maybe Joe was on vacation with his family or something. Maybe he was asked but just didn't want to do it.

If you don't know who Satch is it doesn't mean you don't know anything about the guitar. Don't be mad at Clapton. ;-)

Hi all. 8 pages behind, but I wanted to comment on something that appeared "Sunday". In regard to a title for a new live DVD, forget love in space, how about "Will There Be Joe In Australia?"

Wow I finally found my post from yesterday. 4 more to go?!?

Michelle: that is a bunch of crap. Absolutely no respect. Pure selfishness with no regard for other people. I don't really care who is in Government if kids can run around and shoot people for bunches of crap like that. (Unless they have the ability to stop it, or are the cause for the problem.)

Farhan: hi. Welcome to the site. For information on the CD, click on the "Click here" near the top of the screen. Joe does drop by every now and then, but he's been away for a few months.

My favourite Satch albums for whichever various reasons are usually Surfing With the Alien, or Crystal Planet.

If you recall the number of ways to give change for a dollar in US currency posted by Zinc Master the other day, FYI (if you are interested) I just calculated that there are 50 ways to give change for a dollar in Australian currency. (5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1)

Austin: check out our messages to Farhan ...

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Loses Over 50 Pounds, Becomes A 'Health Nut' - Nov. 9, 2004

The following message was sent earlier today (Nov. 9) to YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN fan club members from the fan club's director, Anne Petty:

"Just got off the phone with Yngwie. Had a wonderful chat for a little over an hour, and got quite a few questions answered for the next newsletter. The new album is mixed, and he is just working on the sequencing of tracks before it is mastered. I know the album title, but I'm not allowed to tell. It might leak out anyway, but I'll say no more until he gives me the green light on that. This album will be quite long, with many different moods and styles of songs.

"He was very upbeat, in a great mood, can't wait to get out on the road early next year to promote this new effort. Says he's in great health — has turned into a health nut, no alcohol, no cigarettes, lots of tennis and working out. Has lost over 50 pounds. It's all good!"

I like my Yngwie chubby.
