Ovation1 Just found out that they will be soon selling the Racer X DVD's on their site. I'm pretty sure Snowball of Doom will be on there, but it will be $39+shipping! I was hoping they'd also sell some of Paul Gilbert's DVD's, I'm pretty sure they aren't going to though. If I don't find Spaceship One DVD tomorrow, I'll order it from the site you posted up.

No offence taken dude. Yeah it is important to be able to tell other players what you are playing but my remark was aimed at teaching. A mode is buit on the diatonic scale. Its how the semi tone and tone intervals are rearanged that produces the modal variations as you well know. Its also important to learn the time signature that tell you what key or what mode. I do agree with what youve said.

I learned the theory as I was classicaly trained. Im a little rusty now as I play by ear and feel. Once I have found something I like I then analise it to see what I am doing. That excersise I mentioned gives you the modal variations with only phsyically learning 7 inversions. When I teach people modes if they dont quite get the theory I let them get the practical first. Once they here how a mode changes the tonality of the piece then I tell them its because you flatten this note or sharpen that note.

The pattern of finger cycles on the fretboard are the same as the 7 Ionian Major inversions just rearranged differently. The Minor scale is a Modal variation (Aeolian mode). You must know the minor relative rule. If you play C/F/G proggression with a C minor pentatonic on the eigth fret its C minor. Play the same proggression but drop the scale to the 5th fret you are playing C major (musically) but physically you are playing an A minor scale. The same rule applies to the seven note scales.

Thin Lizzy used to do this a lot....

I know my stuff bud. I spent years re writting scales for my students it was something I noticed and it helped me teach . Couple of my guyshave gone on to do their bachelor of arts in music and one of em is a session player. Read between the lines of what I am saying a little more. No offence bud but again I know what I mean.

WWWWOOOOOAAARRGH !!!

Oh hell yeah!! Just saw the news for the Grand Prairie, Tx show on April 27th! 3 days before my b-day!! Excellent timing! Can't wait! 5th time seeing him, on the 8th day God created Satch!!!

michelle: How lucky for you that Satch is coming to the Tower!! TomJr and I already bought tickets for Greensburg and I don't think I could get off work to see Satch in Philly. Hope you get good seats!

Anyone: Looking for some advice. I am going to see Dream Theater April 1st at Radio City Music Hall. Problem is I have never been to the big apple :( Any pointers for me?? Where to park for the show, any route better than another, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Rob310...lol....ah....GW...thanks for the clarification....

tmx...welcome!

Nice one. I'll have a look later on and donwload the pic.......

lol

Stevee T: Thanks for your suggestions. You figure that they have to have some parking garages around a venue like that.

js1200..... How ya doing? Hey, if you're in Chicago on March 11th, We'll be playing our first gig with the new line up in Villa Park,Il at the Lunar Brewing Co. Hope you're in town. Click below for more info.

Satriella.......Cool work chick I did a lot of are at school, I did a lot of pics and stuff around Formula One car raceing. but them you have done are realy cool.......

hi em im new is this well

when u will do a south american tour

especificall to chile well that

a veri big kiss to kayla she is the most beautifull girl in the world¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

well bye

gotta have Joe - What part of California are you going to?

If you're driving back to PA, well, you still might be better off parking your car at a train station or something nearby and taking public transportation to/from the gig. I don't know if there is parking near the RCMH, but driving around in the city could be a bit of a pain (and parking is probably expensive). You say you've never been to the Big Apple...well, a trip there wouldn't be complete without a short ride on a subway... ;-)

I'll be at that gig...where are your seats? Keep in touch...I'll look for you and say "hey".

hey anybody here enter to the chat¡¡¡¡¡¡

hey joe at least can u say me hello jajajajajajajajajaja

ok bye a kiss to kayla and all the people from chile (except the comunist jajajajajajaja)

Alexandre - oh yes bro... keep the faith....

are you recording an album too??

my rhythm guitar sound, and recording method will alter to tighten things up...

so if I leave the rhythm guitars on Space Time as they are, it'll stand out as being different....

changing the rhythm guitars is no big deal really.......

the main thing is, the solos are recorded and will stay as they are.. and the format / content of the song will not change..

You got the thread of what I was saying. I'll give you a cogient paradime. Would you say I am going to put my right leg in front of the other, then put my left leg in front of the other or would you say I am going for a walk ? You would say your going for a walk.

A few of my students do struggle grasping some points of theory. But most of them get it when they play an example first. After they have played a piece and then sit them down and explain that it sounds like that because and then they tend to get it.

The point I am trying to make is you spend years accumulating knowledge. Each time you take a new student on you go over the knowledge again and again so its second nature. Even though you are teaching they are helping you retain knowledge and then one day you see something in a much simpler new light. Bruce Lee said You learn to unlearn.

Again I was not talking musically I was talking about the shapes of the scale on the fret board and the sequences that the inversions follow each other in.

STEVEE T- about the acoustic amp... Matt plays a lot of classical guitar, and has been complaining for ages that he needs an acoustic amp for any gigs, well as I say, the sound is great. Quite a few years back I used to play Joni Mitchell type guitar / voice stuff in folk clubs /music clubs. Matt and I now do Renaissance stuff together, he is considerably better than me on the guitar! (-as an understatement lol...) You said about the piano- I like playing mainly Bach and Scarlatti where possible, but don't do pop singing / piano type songs though if that's what you mean??
