Anyone else having chat problems? It keeps going weird, words overlapping and a silly circle going up and down, and won't log me on....

Ovation1, it's quite fascinating man.....you obviously have quite a variety of local microclimates going on all over Japan's smaller islands, and different areas of the main islands.
I'm told that, in some areas, the climate is almost the same as it is here in england, and there is occasional snow in winter.....well, whichever area you go to, it seems Japan always has something stunning to offer!
Me and my sis have been talking about visiting and seeing some of the stations on the Tokkaido Road, it looks pretty amazing!
Also, completely unrelated, but I don't think I told you - I saw one of Paul Gilbert's UK Clinic shows in the summer.....he's a proper dude, and absolutely hilarious! I wish everyone else would get the picture, so many people still misunderstand him!
mthead, sounds nice dude, I'll be sure to holler at you if I'm coming to Alaska! Is there much of a social or trading relationship between Alaska and SIberia?
I've always wondered that, what with the Bering Straight being so relatively short....I know it can be crossed by foot/snowcat in winter 'cause it freezes over, which sounds kinda fun, but from what I've seen, looks like hard work!
fizz450, what an honour man, I'm so thrilled you put me on your top 10! haha, I'm in sheer disbelief! :-D regards your strat neck, to be honest I think the problem sounds more like a pickup thing. I have noticed that changing pickups will change the level of response you get in the upper register.
This is one of the key characteristics of Joe's pickups, which is presumably why he gets such an effortless level of output and tone from his higher frets. I'd suggest looking at the pickup profiles/descriptions on the DiMarzio site before getting a new neck! You could also check Seymour Duncan, though I find DiMarzio more informative and, well, helpful!
thumper, surely Gregg Bissonette should go on that Drummers list?! hehe. I personally love him. Simon Phillips and Terry Bozzio are both amazing too!

962: I can't understand how any one could misunderstand Paul Gilbert. He's always come off as a briliant guitar player that takes playing very seriously, but doesn't think you have to be a stick in the mud because of it. He seems hilarious, but never arrogant. Some folks just can't take a joke, or understand sarcasm. I saw a video of a PG clinic in Japan I think. The audience member asked Paul if he had any cool licks he does to end a song, and Paul proceeded to play a G chord while doing a windmill strum then holding his hand in the air and making a face...hahah! That's great!

Anyone know where I can find a bootleg of Yngwie Malmsteen on his latest Unleash the Fury tour, PLEASE let me know! I wish I would have brought a camera last night, they didn't check anyone on the way in...of course when I didn't bring a camera they don't check anyone! When I saw Vai at the same place they checked everyone, but I still got a camera in, but really couldn't take pics unil the after show. But, I'd really like to find a bootleg of Yngwie on this tour!

ok so this morning i went to blockbuster and found a documentary called Rock School (not to be confused with School of Rock with Jack Black in it) and just finished watching it...WOW... although i couldnt stand the teacher (Paul Green) I was blown away by the kids and what they were playing :) ESPECIALLY a kid named Cj Tywoniak... dude the kid is now 15 and in the movie was maybe 13? and he was playing Van Halen and Zappa solos, if you go on his website you can even hear him play some Yngwie...site says he is now taking lessons from Joe Stump... you have to check this kid out!!! http://www.cjtywoniak.com/
if others have already given a heads up about this sorry for the repeat, but holy wow this kid is going to be touring soon and we should be prepared to hand our money over to him :)
hope all in satchland are doing well and have an amazing weekend...

danny k: Kuul news there bro, congrats!.... Great to see a fellow member hook it up!....
The Pork Tornado, Keniko, cuthbert1776, SupaaDave, Stevee T, and anyone else interested in Shawn: Peeps, you gotta jump past that intro, lol, it makes me sick to!!!!.... Skim through the vid and check out the songs he plays live.... That is what I think was so incredible about him.... His melodic ability, phrasing/chordal voicings, and his variety.... His shred, to me, is the least important aspect, because it is his songwriting ability that gets me the most.... Man, the songs he plays are intoxicating, and please give it another whirl.... Shawn Lane, & please skip the intro!....
....And btw, Zen.... All google joking aside.... Shawn was very respected and reverred by the guitar community (I'm talking JOE Satch and everyone else), and he was the type of guy that didnt like to shine in the spotlight.... He just did what he loved, and that was good enough for him, cause he had a solid foundation supporting him....
Zenfish: I know what you men man about Ed.... It was sad to see him at the NAMM show a few years ago.... Hundreds of people were waiting to see him at the Peavey booth, and he showed up over an hour late..Drunk, no less, and he refused to come down until Peavey would sign his Sig Series Amp Contract with them.... Sad, truly sad.... We can only hope for the best....
alexandrecaetano: Great to see you friend, and I'll let you know when I send your pkg off :-)
962: Yeah man, we have a variety of climates, and down here in Oki, we get no snow, lol.... As you go up North, you get a mix of everything, and the amazing thing is how small Japan actually is.... Mindblowing, and I havent been on that Tokkaido Road, but if you guys get the chance, do it!!....
....On Pablo.... lol, thats exactly why I like him so much.... he doesnt take life too seriously, has a blast playing guitar, and loves passing on his skills to everyone.... Plus, he has a pretty good Beatle accent, lol!....
....Later peeps, work calls>>>>
Edit: /\/\/\R|<: Youve seen that Shawn vid before, right?.... I posted about it yesterday.... What an amazing guy he was....

juju808...hey!
ovation1...will do...once I get an hour or so...I agree his ability to play fast does not hinder his respect for a nice melodic chordal structure...impressive to say the least....

/\/\||<ey i am a huge shawn lane fan.. i have seen the video before.. have you seen any of the lane hellborg videos.. the improv stuff.. its amazing.. Mattias Ia Eklundh is touring with hellborg now.. i bet thats nutz.
but SL is the shizzle.. he could play faster, more melodic and with more feel than anybody..Buckethead is a huge sL fan.. when my band played out last , a local guitar player commented that my playing reminded him of SL.. that was the greatest compliment i ever or will ever get.. ! SL is missed.

Stevee T: Right-On man, my point exactly.... When you get a chance (the vid is long), skim through to the songs.... Amazing....
/\/\/\R|<: Thanks for the info bro, I need to do some heavy research on Shawn now!!.... I'm starting to see just what all the noise was about on him, and wow, a comment like that from another guitar player!!.... I can see where he would say that!!.... Stay kuul man....

Zenfish....... From the movie w/ Patrick steward, the suits the freeman wore to capture and process thier sweat were the basic design used for star treks Borg..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keniko...... I soooo agree w/ U my man a person simply has 2 respect the disipline; time; practice; and dedication it takes to accomplish such a level and I didn't even hear the piece yet but, i'm w/U 100%. well said dude!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michelle..... Great minds think alike, just after my guitar list i was thinking of drummers, anywho heres my 2 cents.... Neil peart, Keith Moon, Jon Bonham, Charlie Benante, Alex VH, Jeff Campitelli, Philly Joe Jones( trap drummer), Lars Ulrich, Bill Cobham ( loved spectre)Ginger Baker.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hows about Bass players... Geddy Lee, Stanley Clark, John Entwistle, Stu Hamm, Mark King, Les Claypool, Sting, that guy from YES and damn i'm poopin out sorry.
