The clip at the end of the podcast sounds great. Reminds me of a bit of Cygnus X-I by Rush. Very cool.
After listening to 'I Wanna Rock' a few more times, just had to play some AC/DC! Darn, those guys kick @$$!

Hi i`m new on the block so the first thing that i wanna do is tell ya that i´m a biggest fan of you. As you see, i´m southamerican, coming from Ecuador. I started to play guitar by my self in 90´s but nothing like to have a teacher just like Kirk Hammet had. Could you be my master? what i have to do? I know that you have a foundation in usa. So, you think you can do something like that in my country?....just a question!

Hi everyone...
The new website is up, so I figure that's as good a time as any for me to try to get back into this T2J thing. I've just glanced through the last few hours of posts, and it's cool to see some familiar names (as well as some new ones...awesome).
A few comments about I Just Wanna Rock:
Good: the cool '70s vibe; the talk box (a first, right?)
Bad: the song sounds "safe" to me
Anyway, it's good to be back. How's everyone doing? Have I missed out on any crazy T2J happenings? I've gone through some stressful weeks/months, but things are starting to look good for a change.
I'll elaborate later, both on the song and about me...but now it's 5 a.m. and I need to get to bed. ;-)
...Austin...

How are things going. I have been busy and only skimming the site here and there.
Looking forward to the new CD and may go to the Guitar Store event in Chicago - coming up for it too?

As a long time Satriani fan I have to say I'm disappointed with that first track. Most Satch songs you can immerse yourself in and listen to over and over . I don't think that is the case with this one. Well as they say music is in the ear of the beholder. I hope the rest of the new CD offers more, Obviously every artist wants to be commercially viable, I just hope Joe isn't under too much pressure from the record company to be just that.

Wizard - lol... don't worry about Phryg and the "hold your coat thing"... lol... we're both veterans in this place and have seen numerous technical threads escalate into open warfare over some minute detail that no one really cares about but the "combatants"... it's just a joke in a sort of "it's C Dorian and if you don't agree I'm never gonna talk to you again.." kinda vibe... a joke and nothing more... lmao..
ok... back to interesting stuff in the key of G...
yes you're right IV - V - I = C - D - G
this is of course very common so there is nothing new or special about approaching a perfect cadence with chord IV. So... everyone gets used to this but you want to do something a little different / more interesting. Why not subsitute chord IV with chord II. And if chord II is in 2nd inversion the bass will still move the same way as it did in the IV - V - I progression. You end up with this:
II - V - I = Am / C - D - G <- sounds cool
but can it be made to sound cooler?
how about if we substitute chord II with a Neapolitan 6th. The bass will still move the same way but the harmony will be far more colourful.
Nea6 - V - I = Ab / F - D - G <-- yummie
a German 6th will look like this - note I'm going to enharmonically rename the German 6th to it's Dom7 equivalent to simplify the description - or it'll get real messy...
Example - C modulating to Bm
I - VI - IV - V7 : <- a progression in C [C - Em/B - Am - G7]
the G7 can be treated as a German 6th in Bm so it is a pivot chord. In the following progression we establish the key of Bm.
Ic - V7 - I <- perfect cadence in Bm [the lil c = 2nd inv]
Bm / F# - F#sus4 - F#7 - Bm
the complete modulation from C to Bm via a German 6th
C - Em/B - Am - G7 <- in the key of C
Bm / F# - F#sus4 - F#7 - Bm <- in the key of Bm
yummie stuff

Wizard - my take on the whole music theory thing is something like this....
will it make you a better player?? no, playing and practice does that..
so what's the point of it?
the academenic side of music provides you with a set of principles and terminologies that enable you to better understand and describe what you hear. It is therefore a 'language' that enables musicians to communicate their ideas with each other. It also equips you with the tools to better understand what you hear so that you can figure out why certain things sound the way they do.
if two people do not speak the same language they can't understand each other - resulting in misunderstanding or confusion.
and this is why I believe that it's important to try to use the 'language' of music terms / principles as accurately as as you know how to. Because the outcome is then exactly what you're looking for - muso's helping each other as best they can - which is even better when they can completely understand each other.
Will all this make you a better writer / composer? not really, that is achieved by knowledge of repertoire and practising the art of composition itself simply by composing.
however, it will offer you more compositional options because you'll have a better grasp of how things like chord / scale / key relate to each other along with an awareness of the emotional effects that can be created via things like inversion, voicing, modulation, note density, dynamics, tempo, orchestration.. and so on...
essentially, your creativity has more to draw upon..
like going up to an artist, taking away his pencil, giving him a load of paints and saying - "oh look.. you can now do things in colour... cool or what.."
this also has a spin off on your improvisational approach too because the creative source is almost the same..
music theory - I really don't like this term at all...
this is not theoretical science... lol...
root - maj 3rd - perf 5th = major triad..
that's not a theory at all....
there's a lot of bullshit and misused terms in "contemporary music theory" - but that's another very mucky debate altogether... lmao...

Thanks Clarky, that's excellent. I'm really interested in progressions lately. If you got any more by all means post 'em. Canchito asked how you get Dmaj from D#. What I was trying to demonstrate was going from the 7th mode of E harmonic min which is D# alt double flat 7 by using D# maj or min aug b9 spelled E-D#-G or F# -B. The b9th is in the bass and you can use the maj or min 3rd (G or F# respectively) B being the aug 5th of D#. From here I do a dim7 run D#-F#-A-C. At this point I go to E natural min and use a Dmaj country lick by treating the chord shape like a pentatonic scale by hammering and pulling on the 4th, 6th and 9th. So this sweep lick starting on the 12th fret D string kind of looks like this D-F#-A-D-F#-pD-hE-pD-A-hB-pA-F#-hG on guitar. From here I finish with an E blues lick. E-G-A-A#-B-D. I don't know how well this kind of thing would transfer to the ivory but on guitar it's pretty cool at least I think so.

Cool Canchito. If you got any questions feel free. Also I'd like you to try it out and let me know what you think. Tell me what you're working on as well. This is the way we grow as musicians by teaching and learning from each other. Check out Clarky's lesson on German 6th's. It may take some time to break it all down but if you play it you'll hear the interesting movement these progressions have.

Wench, I believe you just show up at guitar center and hope to get a seat, or stand. No tickets required. I've been to one of these before at Tower Records and it's a really cool, intimate experience.
My impression of "I just wanna Rock"? It is not my type of song. Like someone said, it sounds similar to AC/DC and is a very basic, radio type song. I'm thinking the rest of the record will be different.
Good to see Austin back here

Sure hope that's the case, although the line to get in could be out of control. I was lucky enough to win tickets to the Hyde Street Studio Show last August. That was the most intimate show i've ever seen!!!

Wench, you bastard, I can't believe you got tickets to the Hyde Street show! You must of took my spot, dammit! Good for you. I've seen clips of the show and it was awesome. I like the fact that joe doesn't mind people videotaping him at these events. I remember at the Tower records performance Joe played AWMAWY, and at the end someone yelled "that was awesome" and Joe turned and jokingly said "did I play that OK?" LOL, It was a funny moment. You had to be there.
