Sounds like a plan - most weekends I can be free, but not this one.
NWI is my back yard - name the place, I should be able to make it.

Hi Satchland!
962, "yeah you should come and visit when Joe next comes here or something, that'd be cool! I can't wait for Joe's next tour.....I'm also really hoping Population 1 will come here when they tour with the new album!"
That would be great! It's curious but...I was thinking some weeks ago about spending some days of next year's summer holidays in London...so If Joe begin his next world tour in Europe...it would be so cool if the coincidence happened or at least that Joe's next gig was on Saturday or Sunday to be able to go :-)
I have right now (really ;-) "Silver Rain" in my mini portable Mp3 player hehe it's awesome! You play really well!
gotta have joe, "es es. I dont know a whole lot just very little. Como estas? Como te llams? .... Lucia? ( is, es es, how
you say so so?) me llamo Catalina"
Hola, ¿qué tal? (ésta es otra forma de decir "¿como estás?"). Yo estoy muy bien. Sí, me llamo Lucía, pero los amigos me
suelen llamar Luci or Lucy (en inglés). ¡Encantada de conocerte! Tu nombre en español, Catalina, es muy chulo! Kayleen es una variación de tu nombre Kayla ¿verdad? Yo soy de Madrid y vivo justo en el centro; si tu miras un mapa de España, en el centro está Madrid y si mirás justo en el centro de Madrid ahí estoy yo jeje. ¡Que tengas un buen día!
If you have any doubts about what I'm saying...here goes the translation ;-) :
Hi, how is things? (this is other form of saying "how are you?"). I'm very well. Yes, my name is Lucia, but friends usually call me Luci or Lucy (in English). Nice to meet you! Your name in Spanish, Catalina, is very cool! Kayleen is a variation of your name Kayla, isn't it? I'm from Madrid and I live just in the plain center; if you look at a map of Spain, in the center it's Madrid and if you look at the center of Madrid, I'm there hehe. Have a nice day!
About how do we say "so"... this is "así que" or "así". If you have any queries about Spanish...I'm here to help ;-)
bahduh, where are you today? you have some "important" mails to check ;-) have a nice weekend!
michelle, "I'm soooo sleep deprived, and we're having a weeks worth of rainy cloudy days, so no sun to help my little pea brain wake up. I have a free morning. Must be nap time? lol!"
Did you have a good nap? ;-) It's rainy and cloudy here too although we need it! You know we need rain badly because of the drought, but it's excessive...all the rain we needed during last months have come together in some days! Terrible floods in some parts of Cataluña (Catalonia) specially in Girona and Barcelona :-(
Brother Al, really nice guitar playing...specially "Jem No.7 Pt.1"
Big Terry Tumbleweed, about someone that was saying the word "ass", it's curious, but in Spanish...to be an "as" (without the second "s" letter hehe) is to be a star, a champion! LOL
munio, "is ther any1 in the world who knows anything about palm bay guitars????? i bought one about 5 years ago wen i was about 11 and i want to know sum info about the guitar makers. i think that its a custom made guitar cuz its got dimarzio pickups and a flloyd rose tremelo, almost same setup as a js ibanez guitar. thanx if any1 has info :)"
Have you checked the official site of Palm Bay Guitars? http://palmbayguitars.com
cheese101, thanks for the link!, and yeah it takes a long time to load...I'll try it another day, it seems that today the net
is very busy here and that doesn't help hehe
njbeast, good morning :-)
mikesb, about Google "failure" hehe that's hilarious!
Keniko, "Today is our 26th wedding anniversary"
My most sincere congratulations!
And about the other "issue"...LOL!!!

Zinc Master, Hi! I guess when you make an order at Sony's store, that thing is indicated in the order form and then in the
"order confirmation" e-mail. At least that's the experience I have when I ordered a CD from ShopBootlegs.com, the sister site of SonyBMG.
I can't tell you specifically about www.sonymusicstore.com/ because they don't currently ship internationally. A shame, by the way.

Oh my god, I can't believe how f*ck*ng stressy vai.com messageboard members are! What a bunch of assholes. Ok I know some of them are cool, but some are such self-centered retards, it's crazy....T2J is so much more groovy and sociable!
Delfino, aww thanks man, I appreciate that. In ayear or two I might take the ideas I'm most happy with to a real studio and re-record them as a demo, so I'll be sure to get a copy to you and everyone else who's said they'd have one! haha.
Also, dude I think it's great to see your comment on Robert Fripp's influence on you, and how much you got out of his G3 contribution. After all the negativity surrounding his involvement, it's great to see that somebody else though he was ace! I'd like to hear that 2-Disc special of soundscape when you get it done! Also, I reckon you could find yourself, in a few years time, in a pretty strong position for integrating epic soundtracks into epic videogames or movies, just like Vai did with Halo 2.....I look forward to following your progress!
DCK, sweet man, thanks for checking out the new track, and for your kind comments!
OCPS470, thanks loads for your feedback.....I'm sure you'll agree that it's easier to judge somebody elses progress than it is your own, so I really appreciate your comments! Glad to hear all you peeps are diggin the tune, I'm quite surprised at the response!
Since my last two tracks I've realised how average my T2JCD2 submission was, and although I want to rewrite half of it and do it again, am quite happy that it didn't get selected!
Stevee T, so which of the two Chrome JS's is better to play, and which sounds better? I had a play with a JS10th in a shop in London and was blown away by it's sound, it had so much character.....I wish I could have afforded it!
gotta have joe, si, bueno, gracias. Y tu, que tal seniorita? Ok I was really scraping out the barrel there, I can barely remember any Spanish, so I hope that made sense! haha
LucySorets, yeah that'd be great if you come over to London next summer (not that I would choose to come here on vacation, hahaha)! I'm sure somebody interesting will be playing a gig here next summer though!
Also, awesome, thanks for putting "Silver Rain" on your playlist! That's so cool! Muchas gracias! now, should I adress you as a seniora or seniorita? I'm not sure what sort of age it becomes "correct" to address a lady as a seniora! Sorry, I know I've spelled "seniora" wrong, but I can't easily write an "n" with a cadilla over the top! haha

962...they're both tremendous instruments...the JS10th has a very distinct sustained sound & feels very formidable in yer lap...the JS2 PRM is lighter with a slightly hollow sound which is warm, but bright...they make a great combination...if any one is interested & can afford the 4500.00 US...I know where one JS2 PRM can be purchased new from a store here in the US...

962: haha! Amen brother! It's very difficult to tell progress on an instrument. Especially if you're like me.... I always feel good about learning new things, but then I go right back into feeling like I'm not doing enough, or that my abilities are severely limited. Don't get me wrong, I love playing and get a ton of joy out of it, it's just sometimes the never ending quest to know more and be better can blind you from enjoying your accomplishment.

Hi this is chris, i was wondeering if anyone could help me figuring out my new amp.
Its a ibanez dragone limited edition tone blaster half stack.
Ive got the clean channel EQ Figured out, but still struggle to figure out the overdrive (distorion channel's EQ).
It is a special eq, not just a 1-10 Knob but, a db/ Hz Type of deal.
Here are the levels,
bass= 12 DB/100 Hertz
Mid= -20 Db/ 600 hz/ 1 khz
Treble= plus and minus sign, 12 Db/ 4 khz
Presence= - 12 db, 15 Khz
Any help, or a link to a site providing info to this would be much appreciated..
Thanks

punkdude75 - I know someone who went to the Gigantour show when it was in my area, he said he was somewhat disappointed, mainly because of where it was, he said the sound was pretty bad. It wasn't in a small place at all, but the place is just bad to have bands play. But, are you a big fan of Dream Theater? If so, you should try and find the other DT DVD's - 5 Years in a LiveTime (it's a double disc, 1st DVD is of the Images and Words tour, 2nd is a bunch of footage from Mike Portnoy's personal collection/"archives") - and then the other DVD is the Scenes from New York. Dream Theater is just the best band, definitly get the other two if you like Live at Budokan. There is one of the sickest solos on the Scenes from NY DVD, i forget which song it was, but Petrucci and Rudess both play this insanely fast solo in unison (then harmonize the end of it), and then go for it a 2nd time. Brilliant! Then, if you watch the DVD with the commentary Petrucci noticed that he messed up in one part (pretty much unoticeable too, so unoticeable that if he didn't say it nobody would have known!) G3 with Petrucci coming up! Can't wait!

OCPS470 I always think i suck.. i never feel i progress, i have only ever been happy with my t2j cd tracks.. i always feel i am regressing.
and my tone is getting worse.. i think its a good thing to keep striving..

DCK: I've only heard Vai, and one guy play them at Jemfest, and even with the average solid player it sounded great! I've never gotten a chance to try them though, and I haven't had good luck having amps shipped to me, so I probably never will. I've heard bad things about the quality being the opposite of "built like a tank." Mind you, I saw those comments on the Carvin forum by Legacy owners. In particular they thought the transformers are undersized and the grid screen resistors are of poor quality. However, they all like the tone...they just don't seem to trust it as a gigable amp you can always count on and not worry about. For $400 though, I'd say go for it. I'll tell you though, that when dialed in, the JSX crunch channel (to me atleast) sounds an aweful lot like the Legacy, if it had better note definition.

dck you play great. gear has nothing to do with it, as i'm sure you know that i know. you're original, very capable, and a helluva nice guy. there's no better recipe for a great guitarist, IMHO.
if you disagree, or feel uncomfortable, think of who else could be described in that way...
EDIT: 962 yes, it can be a little bitchy over there, personally I've found that the moderators are a tad over-zealous... for example the Crowley (and related topics)-isms in SV's work, interviews, etc is pretty blatant, but I would bet you a pint of whatever you want that talking about such things (even *asking* a question) will bring down the dark clouds of whatever upon you there...
I had more to say, but decided not to... I can't be arsed LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

OCPS470 cool, i will try to borrow it to see if i like it, i like 50 watt amps, so i doubt it will not be loud enough. i also have a line on a parker fly classic.Damn that Martone!!! :)
PhryDom :).. thx.. but some other accounts i am a complete asshole of the worse kind. thank you for your kind words. i have been working on some covers and being critical of my own music. its pretty humbling talking to guys like YJM and Rusty cooley and Even Dave martone (DM is a super nice guy , very original, and a big inspiration for me ). just having abad one.
