SlickPotatoHead, hell yeah brudda, X-Box 360 is going to be so worth paying out for. I've been looking at the 3 available screenshots of Project Gotham 3 and it's amazing, they're really putting effort into the architecture. Can't wait to see Halo 3!
Delfino, yeah man, it rocked, I'm sorry you couldn't be there, you would have loved it......if I'd have known it was going to be that insightful I'd have paid your train fare for you!
VFR, f*ck*n aye bro, good call! My good mate Alex and I went to Paul's clinic last night and the man was absolutely amazing. It's the most inspiring thing I've been to, beating Vai's Aching Hunger shows, hands-down. More:
Last night's Paul Gilbert clinic was held, in association with Guiar Mania and Laney Amps, at the Layard Theater at Canford School. Canford (where my sister works, yay!) is a very old, very exclusive, and very beautiful boarding school. It's theater is pretty new, and is a cracking venue. It's like half an octagon, with fairly steep terrace and a balcony, and a total of 300 seats. It makes for a pretty close, intimate, and relaxed environment.
Paul was on stage with his Laney GH100L head and cab, and his PGM300, the prototype for the commercial PGM301. There was a bunch of other Laney amps and a PGM301 on stage, all with price tags on! He used a DS-1, a flanger, a delay and a tuner, but almost all of his tone was straight from his guitar and amp.
He talked about a whole lot of stuff, covering technique, some theory, influences, favourite music, his experience of learning at the age of 6, and then again aged 9, being on TV in Japan.....he covered a lot! His playing was just heartbreaking, it was all so real. Paul is in no way arrogant at all, he's a modest, normal guy who happens to be an amazing musician. He said nothing profound, but said a lot of really hilarious sh*t (as you'd expect) and lots of really useful stuff. He played some Racer X songs using backing tracks, and played some stuff solo as he was demonstrating the stuff he was talking about. He took requests and questions, and when asked about his classical music covers, played a Bach piece he'd transcribed. Not B.R.O. as can be found on "Technical Difficulties", but something else.
He finished up saying "I'm going to play a medley of my three favourite british bands - Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, and The Spice Girls". Obviously everyone cracked up and thought he was taking the p*ss, but he proceeded to play "2 become 1", which he'd transposed down to a lower key 'cause he can't sing as high as "Mel C". The way he played and sang it actually made it into a really nice song, with a seamless transition into the Led Zep/Sabbath arrangement. And with all that done he took a five minute break before going out to the foyer/bar to sit behind a table and sign 300 (or more) autographs.
I figured if you can't beat 'em join 'em, so I got his name added to my 'signature scratch-plate', along with Mr Sheehan, and Joe and Jeff and Vai and Igor, of course. I just gotta get Nuno, EJ and Andy T added and I'm all set!
I got 65 cracking photos of Mr Gilbert playing his ass off, pulling a variety of great faces. I can't upload the lot, so I'll look through them and find the best ones, and let everyone know when they're up for public viewing!
Now playing: Extreme ~ Pornografitti. YESSSS!

aussieRGman..Dude,,sounds like your abit confused in the DIRECTION you want to go with your music. Atleast your level headed this day,,boy the last post I read I thought you were gonna blow your house up..lol.
As you know, music can be a frustrating thing at times, but ALL of us go through those times of confusion and wonder if were not just wasting our time. I practice 3-4 hours a day and somtimes get so fed up with my guitars I want to go chop wood with them.(Did that once with a 78' Les Paul Custom,NO SHIT,,BIG MISTAKE!! Was drinking then,,,now 5 years sober.)
But what I try to stay focused on is that the music I play is for me and no one else. Lets face it,,not many guitar players get that BIG BREAK. 20 years ago I thought i might have a chance, now at 46 & a business owner my time is limited. I dont have the 12-16 hours a day to practice like Joe did at 16. Keep it as fun as you can & stay with what YOU want your music to sound like. If your best at jazz,,play jazz,,not saying dont play other types of music,,just dont get too discouraged trying to discover who you are musically. I have listened to some of the recordings you have done & think your comming along just fine. Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top once told me..NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE,,THERE IS ALWAYS SOMONE THATS BETTER.
You know whats pleasant to your ears,,play that,, try to always improve & NEVER GIVE UP!! We cant all be rock stars that make it big,,but we can all be rock stars!! Play till the fingers bleed my brotha!! DA KOOK

Ok, this is in no way an original idea...actually a few guys at the Dave Weiner board brought this up and it worked out quite well...but seeing as everyone here lives miles away from each other so it makes it hard for us to jam all in person, what if we made a backing track and then everyone was allocated a certain amount of bars to do their stuff?
Ofcoure tempo, key, etc..is to be discussed, but it'd be fun to see the out-come and hear all the great players on the T2J boards to collaborate on something like this.

Iron Maiden Added to Hollywood Rockwalk
LOS ANGELES - Heavy metal rock band Iron Maiden have put their mark in cement - along with the bony hand of its album cover skeleton mascot, "Eddie."
Band members added their handprints - with a fake skeleton hand to stand in for Eddie's - to the Hollywood Rockwalk on Friday. The sidewalk gallery is outside the Guitar Center on Sunset Boulevard.
Iron Maiden was formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris, 49, in the East End of London and went on to become one of rock's most influential heavy metal bands. Their 1982 album "The Number of the Beast" featured the single "Run to the Hills" that reached the Top 10 in UK sales.
The rockers have been on tour this summer with Ozzfest in the United States and have gained favorable reviews from critics.
The current lineup includes Harris and original guitarist Dave Murray along with returning singer Bruce Dickinson, guitarist Adrian Smith, guitarist Janick Gers and drummer Nicko McBrain.

STEVET: Thanks for asking...Steven and i are just fine. You have read my e-mail so'os you know about my feet. Steven is still living in Alameda and putting up with alot.......He is still writing and recording, just not as much with me since the petrol over here has gotten to 3$ a gallon! Steven has new stuff to post, when i can be enough help to him to get it done. I am just getting tired of waiting for my doctors to make a decision. JOE: Nothing has been the same for Steven or me since the vegas trip....It's wierd for me to think that I have so much experience playing compaired to some, and not enough compaired to others. I am studying my scales and modes, pentatonics and harmonics. I just need to get as good as others on the exactness, just for myself. On the 22 fret VS 24 fretter guitars......ALL guitars have harmonics up to the 36th fret!!! It is a joy to fret to 24....but the front pick-up is just alittle off the 24th harmonic. The (Fat) sound from a 22 frtter is from the pick-up placement. Nothing a bend or an open harmonic expertly placed can't handell. Enjoy both for what they are! Play on satchland! Randell

962: For those of us who couldn't see Paul, could you give some insight into specific things Paul said about technique/ theory etc that were really usefull?
Shredinator: So I'm not going insane hah! yeah, I've hear the "House Full of Rip off" on ESPN during baeball highlights usually.
TOALL: Has any body seen Jimmy Herring play? I saw him tonight playing with the Code Talkers. Maaaaaan this guy is phenominal! He played everything from jazz, blues, blugrass to country. He even did sweep picking and many advanced techniques I've never seen him do with the Allman bros, or the dead. What a fantastic player!

delfino that's a cool idea. if you want it to be part of the T2J Project then please email mark or me, otherwise good luck!!! and keep us updated! :-)
just heard a track as i read its lyrics online... religious people, they're not my words, so aim your anger elsewhere!
Dear god, hope you get the letter and...
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving in the street
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from god
I can't believe in you
Dear god, sorry to disturb you but...
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about god
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!
Dear god don't know if you noticed but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear god
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That father, son and holy ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in
It's you
Dear god
