Parker - I have 2 that I play now. One is a heavily modified Strat. It has a H-S-H se up with coil taps. It sounds great. It has a comfortable neck but is harder to play than my Ibanez. I'm thinking about stringing it with 8's to help with that. This guitar was actually stolen from me and I found it 2 years later in a pawn shop. I also have an RG 560. This is the one I play the most. It now has a red Tone Zone in the neck, the stock single coil in the middle that I painted yellow, and a green Fred in the bridge. Both of these I've have for almost 20 years. How's the JS 1000 savings fund coming along?

In the latest issue of Guitar World, there's a CD-ROM that has a track off the upcoming Vai album titled "Yai Yai".
Oy.
I never thought I would say this.
I cannot *stand* this song. It's like an experimental Bjork vocal run through digital effects.
*sigh*

Powerslave, It is not all that suprising. Steve mentioned really liking Bjork when I interviewed him a few years back..... He said when he saw her in Iceland it (the show) totally freaked him out....

My wedding is in 4 days, and I am going to surprise my wife by playing "Cryin" and "Always with me always with you" at the reception with my guitar....Those were the 2 first songs that I played for her on guitar when we first met, so I hope I get the same reaction from her. I am going to be playing pretty loud....hopefully I don't screw up :)

SteeveeT, I did download the tunes from Thomas Bressel site. The kid DOES have the chops... I cannot comment on the production quality as I am listening through laptop speakers at the present time.
Although his site lists "Part 1" and "Part 2", they are both in fact the same.... You will need WinRar to extract the files which are mp3 at 192 kbps. Hell the kid even made CD covers... I am impressed, check it out!!! here

Big Bad Joe!!
Saw you on the 26th at the Fillmore. Even though you felt like crap you sounded fantastic! Thank you for your sacrifice. It's probably what led to your current condition. Also saw you at the Bone Bash, which was the first time I had seen you live, and you were incredible there. You were in a groove that night.
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that we are all thinking about you. Get rested and well and will see you on the flip side. KEEP ON ROCKIN'!!!!
CHEERS!

DCK- That's great! An acoustic eh' It should be pretty facinating! I am quite taken with the acoustic, I bought an Applause! with the funky plug, and play electronic's! But overall it's a beutiful guitar You've seen it on My site! a bright cherry red job!
Is the entire song acoustic? I really do like the mix of both! I recently did a track, and tracked an acoustic over the electric guitar! in the same key just played it in the octave. and got this real fatheaded sound. trouble is everthing I do end's up sounding just like Me! Experimental or otherwise! Execpt when I am doing a "cover tune" ...Well, I am alway's standing By for to hear a ML tune! You, and Paul C. are My favorites! Right up there with Joe, and Beck, and Vai! and SRV.My true insirpiarations!...................................ZENFISH- I alway's worry about My freind's. You know that! :-)
That is to bad, really. But hopefully you will Find Another drummer soon. I am glad otherwise that thing's are going fine! I have been really working with "theory' of guitar-the how's and Why, a note is playedLOL sort of helpful. I know, I am learning how not to 'flub' notes, And pretty much stay in key. despite all this guitar rambling! Well, I'm rambling so, I'll let you go...Have a great day!...........................CLARKY- That cool! I hope You like the Card! also, thats right, i forgot, the rehersal's are in Jan. But, I know that's still a pretty busy time! I just have to say, What a wonderful Inspiration, You and Mark London, Have been1 Alway's willing to help! despite Your really being busy Artist's! To lend a hand to Guy's like Me who are struggling to become an Okay guitar player. I really hope the best for You Paul, in this new year! Cheer's! and much sucess!..........................................Big bunny- How is thing's? How are you doing? Hope all is good!..............................962- I will e-mail You later today! Hope You had A great B-Day!.................................CivgeeK- Yeah, I was really bummed to, That we could not meet! But talking to you was great! Good to hear Your prgressing with Your new Band! good luck!.......................................Suzie, I Hope your Doing okay! and don't get to down! You'll get Your new place! It's just get's drawn out sometimes. But I really have My fretting hand, and picking hand and toes, all crossed, and better, I am praying that You hurry up, and get settled! :-)..........................................SteveeT- Hope writing your new album, is coming along great! :-)

Ya Yo Gakk, I agree on the overpriced ticket thing. Steve has taken it one step further tho.....His package for the RI tour includes specially autographed CD's, with bonus tracks on that you can only hear by buying one of the ultra-high-price tickets. I'm very disappointed......it seems Steve is favouring business over just writing music these days.
Steven Wilde, thanks dude, yeah my birthday was cool! Hehe, no rush man, just mail when you get a chance!

Clarky - I went to Guitar9.com today, and there was an advert for this CD as a banner. I just brought it up because of the title, since it could raise one or two 'issues'. You may want to check it out.

SteveeT, It is hard to see the vertical scroll bar (grey black) but the stuff is down near the bottom in that Forum page(links are red text)... You will see three links but as I mentioned the ones listed as part 1 and part 2 are in fact the same total album file. I am listening properly now to a burned CD copy and the dude is a mother of a player.... I am still searching to see if he in fact has any of his own compositions to find out if he is a mother in that category as well....
