Joe...we hope you are feeling better.....I came across an article in a magazine about Eddie Kramer....he has quite an insight into the mind of Jimi Hendrix and has some great stories to tell. Have you ever worked with Eddie on any projects?

kd6aaj - An electrition huh. At least that is something that you can take anywhere. I was a union carpenter for a long time before we moved up here. Then I started my own company while my wife finished her degree. After she graduated I went back and I am now finishing up year 3 of 8 in Civil Engineering/Urban Planning. I never got to be a rock star either. Got close to being signed.
There are lots of great players on this site. Just take it slow. Be accurate. Flying is a tough song . You might want to start with Crush of Love or something at that difficulty if your lead chops are not strong. It will help you not to get frustrated. As for the amp, I would look at saving up a few $$ when you get back to work and get a Pandora. I have one and I use for practicing as well as live. It's a cool little unit.It's about $200.
I play .009s, too. I think most of us on the site do. My hands would definately protest if I tried to play anything else. Good luck and remember practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

SLANSHROOM- Hey Man, i am so glad You are well! I hate it and i am actually in pain when My Freind's are sick! Glad to hear your about normaly! My Day's made! Oh, I have been playing for exatctly 2 years now, Started on my birthday! of 03' But, No big deal, but if You want to here Me, You can go to http://www.abovethenumbers.com There are some stuff I recorded, I do all My own instrument's, and write al the tunes! I am still learning an awful lot, and in the very beggining stages! Thank's for the interst! Again, i am thrilled to see Your up, and about! :-)............................KRIS RICHARDS- Hi, Welcome to the site!
on tremelo's, it depend's what Your prefernce is, the edge pro's are very whipy, as they only run with 1 spring, Floyd rose- on the other hand makes varied model's, My favorite is the JT-500-580LP (lo-profile) It's a plate trem system, But it's not as whippy, and still remain's in tune despite the abuse. You really cannot go wrong with either though! Vai, and Satch, usually preffer their's a bit firmer, such as the Floyd's, But experiment around, and see what You like the best! The plate trem's are the more sturdy! Good luck, and Hope to here you Rockin' out!

Simon - If you think that yopu BBQ beans can sway me. Bring em on!! Your more than welcome in P-town anytime. We have a great local music scene.
Cube Thanks for the JP update.
Kris Richards I have an edge pro that I have beat the crap out of for almost 20 years and it still works great. You might also look at the
Ibanez ZR bridge. Go to Trem units an then at the bottom of the list are the two units.

CivgeeK- Hey, That's a cool link! Thank's, Kris, Should benefiet from that! The ZR's are something, i was going to buy this year! an S' Body, with the ZR's! But, there real whippty to aren't they? How do like your edge-pro? It really is sturdy eh!
What's your version's on the S'body contour? with ZR? I Love My Floyd rose Lp-580, is it similar? They felt differnt in the stores? My ultimate last stop guitar, Is The JS-series 1200, candy apple red medium fret's and none binding!
I would replace the fred, and pf- and repalce with my seymour duncan(kneck) and EMG-hz(bridge) would be the only changes!
Thank's again!

ocps - I've also found that many good acoustic players have a tendancy to pick the strings way too hard which momentarily sharpens the sounding notes... so they sound all out of tune when playing electrics....
hhmm.. write a symphony.... that sounds interesting...
a full metal symphony but one that sticks to stuff like 'sonata form'... now there's a challenge..
Zen - I'd really love to have a very good classical [nylon strung] electro-acoustic... with a cutaway too...
but the really nice one's are big money...
my main acoustic is a Washburn D-21... she's lovely...
I used to have an Epiphone ES335... it was a lovely guitar... just not really my sort of thing though...
it had lots of tone and tons of style.... therefore ... not for me... lol...
Tele's?? I just can't get on with them....
Slansh - once I've got the DC set down.. I'll have a stab at your track..

I just posted another message, but it dissapeared oh Well.
thanks for the tips Civgeek, hopefully my other LONG post reappears.
I have 2 distortion pedals, one I built from a schematic of a modified Marshal Blues-Breaker.
I have a digital delay and an ICe Box chorus.
Just need an amp. The home stereo doesnt quite work as an amp.

I like the sliding notes in Flying, because I have a bad habit of gripping the neck. The left index finger is kinda stiff. The sliding notes force me to let go.
"Let go of your feelings, Luke. Use the Force!"
At age 9 or ten I cut my hand with a hatchet, injuring my left index hand (tendon?) never saw a doctor. finger moved when I moved my thumb. Bar Chords of steel!
Then, at age 25, I sliced the same finger open with pocket knife (thats why they say never use a knife as a pry-bar) that nicked the tendon in my finger joint. Now the finger is better (but not perfect)! Bizzaro. I believe in God! What are the odds? Home do-it-yourself surgery.
As a teen, I had 13's on my acoustic so I could play louder while leading worship in my church youth group. We didn't have a PA for yourh group, so louder strings seemed important.
Bar chords were tough at first, but after a while, I could open a can like Pop-eye. Not anymore, electrical work fixed that. Too much shoveling and abusing my wrists with hammering, and crimping wires.
When I finish my apprenticeship, I want to get a safer job. My hand are too valuable! Maybe a job fixing computers or guitars?
I could never quit playing guitar now!
Any advice from anyone is welcome!

Nope, other post must have been too long or something. Just more history and me dumping my soul on the message board. Whine, whine, whine. :)

My Kramer has a Floyd Rose II, the handle rattles if it is loose.

I got my TAB from [link url="http://www.mikesguitarsite.co.uk"www.mikesguitarsite.co.uk[/link].
You or anyone else here understand when I need to tap and when I need to pick on the leads? I thought P stood for pull-off since H would be hammer-on, but powertb says differently. I figured out the small "s" subscript meant slide.
I'll just have to go slow like CIVGEEK suggests. Old habits die hard.
Can anyone tell me if that TAB is acurate on the leads?
I'm about ready to hacksaw the bottem cut-out off my Kramer.
Up in the 20th fret range, my forearm gets wedged in there trying to play the first hammer-on pull-off in Flying In A Blue Dream"
Actually, my left hand is ok with the fingering on that part if I treat it like a bar-chord (index finger across all four strings).
Right hand still trying to figure out if I need to sweep pick, or tap.
