Cossy - you make it sound like a woman...;0). What's it like living' in Hollywood BTW? Run into anyone famous lately?

Wow the Eric Johson thing was great - thanks - just makes me sigh how much there is to learn, step 1 of the 1000 step journey I guess.

ibanez_god:Then yer brothers will find it impossible when the money runs out n mummy is no longer around, you,ll have your day, as for as our very own Bush, the man is clueless, Brown doesnt have vision worthy enough t be prime minister hes goin t destroy whats left of the UK

Slans - aww......he sounds cute, do you play to him? Bet he would love the music you can play for him, what a gift from a parent.

Slansh : Music is currently under a crap system..

Commecial stuff is commercial stuff inside the hands of commercial guys. They don't serve the music. They use music to save money. They kill the flower inside people's brains.

None commercial stuff is full of incredible guys who build serious things to serve music.. check Jamendo. A minority of them become a few known. Very few famous.

To get an other job than music is the price to pay to be independant in music & serve her.

Slan, I'm 44 and life is still big hugs and uh oh's!

Man, I'm in such a sucky mood I just wanna quit my job and crawl into a feckin hole for a while. Some days it feels like yer treading water with weights on yer ankles.

ah well, tra-la tra-la.... off I go....

ibanez_god - oH MY WORD!!!! ....i dont know what was worse....the singing...the dancing....if thats what you could call it...the words....or leonard nearly kissing that girl....eeeeeurkkkk!

zen and Slansh i see it all the time , some kids with chops , but work out to never being above the level of trained monkey ....not that i am above a monkey myself.. but its more about arpeggio's and sweeping than actual melodies

mama M:I,m 40 this June 24!!! argh

JLees fav morn brecky program eh oh i,ll mail y a happy pic l8r

Cube:From a substance viewpoint i find most instrumental guitar boring, i mean if your goin t let your chops rip at least bring something original technically t the table, furthermore song structures are looked on as secondary t the guitar solo....thats insane ffs thats where the heart of the work is but peeps rehash old solo ideas concepts spat out over rushed put together drums bass n keys backing, it just all makes for a very dull day

did yer man get that solo o mine stuck in the right place btw goin for a listen t yer track now bro...back laters

Do the Stu - Well, it's good to hear you're very passionate about journalism. That's always important I think. Sorry to hear you may be shifting offices. that's a bummer. Hopefully gas prices will not go back up. That could put a real dent in your concert budget!! lol. I often wonder where I would be if I had stuck with it. Can't complain though...things have turned out pretty good. I certainly never have regrets...just learn, grow and move on. I still have that journalism instinct however. I ask TONS of questions and research everything to death! Guess you're just born with that stuff.

So am I the only person who finds it funny that this site has more than 100,000 members, but a troll is able to come here and take the username "JSatrian" because, well, no one else thought it was one worth having? ;-)

Cube:ok n cool new track, loooove the new solo tone tis wicked

Not talking about technical creativity, but technics... I always thought that the technical ability was more a question of work & obstinacy than anything else.

But composition is a question of creative imagination. Back to the ground, with what you get inside you, naked.

Lot of guitar players wear technics as people wear clothes. You love some clothes, hate some others.. but what does happen when the clothes fall.. nothing at all.
