I have a question I'm asking on behalf of my son, I'll read him the reply(s) and if there's an internet site that would work, he can check it when he comes home for a visit in a coupla weeks....

The question is....He's been working on what he thinks is called the 2 & 3 octave scales...he'd like to know how to take a scale that's within a 5-fret box range and turn it into a much more expanded scale that uses more of the fretboard...

For example, if he's working in E Phrygian in 3 different positions on the fret board, what notes are changed or removed to go from low string to high string, low fret to higher fret in a linear fashion? Joe touched on this during his lesson with Chris and he's trying hard to work on it, but is having some trouble. It's the transition from one position to the next position without starting over back on the same string he started on.

Thanks, he sez any help would be very appreciated all u guitar players!!

Scubadaz--"...you can give someone a protective net, doesn`t mean they`re going to use it (how many ppl are killed every year through not wearing a seatbelt when driving yet they are fitted in every car)."

Have you checked out the website Joe sent us--www.nothingbutnets.net? From what ya wrote on Wednesday, I think you need to check out what the site is all about and read the articles in the Financial Times this past week. Are you aware that one child dies every 30 seconds from malaria? If you had a way of preventing (by education and distribution) those deaths, would you do it???

I sure as hell would!!

Scubadaz--Don't know how many people are out there, but there are lots of countries in Africa and a lot of square kilometers to travel to get to these people. Then with the militias and fighting going on in Sudan and the Congo, it complicates things even more. I'm not an accountant.......maybe there needs to be several to keep track of where each penny is going. Would that help?

Sorry I'm in a bitchy mood today.....I woke up crying because my man is a walking zombie with all the f**king medications he takes. He tosses and turns most of the night and doesn't sleep very well. I'm angry about having to take 5 medications for 3 stupid chronic conditions I'm dealing with. It's so f**king crazy dealing with all this shit and the doctors are overwhelmed with patients, I am lucky to get an oppointment within 3 weeks of when I ask for one. I just hope to God my psychatrist doesn't have to cancel my appointment on Monday as he did twice before. ;-(

Listening to The Yardbirds "Birdland" Joe stars on the song Train kept a rollin' and Steve Vai is on Shapes of things---great classic songs.

scuba:In all fairness....if ya spent as much time on recording as you have been posting here you would have a mighty track even if it is just you & a guitar.Makes no difference if someone is born into money or not.I came from the sticks had sweet fuck all but ended up recording/touring the planet out of want & hard work & plan on that again with that same drive

The man that thinks he can can

pvy---James Hetfield went to the same denominational sunday school I went to growing up---Christian Science. Prayer and bible study is part of the daily schedule.
