burly,
play the blues, when you do it, do it scale chord approach. In a basic 12 bar blues in let's say A, you will have to play A mixolyidian, D mixolydian and E mixolydian, according to the chord changes... Do it slowly and try to get into a pentatonic mindset...
So, to make a mixolydian scale sound bluesy, you can bend from a minor third to a major third and try to play the chord tones (A - C# - E - G) predominantly, using all the others as passing tones. You might want to play the raised 6th (F#, for A major) a lot and after you go through all the changes you might start getting a hold to it... Just play the classic major pentatonic box with the added flatted 7th degree (G in this case) and you will be on your way...
Also, you might want to listen to JOE's "Hill Groove" and listen carefully to the C mixolydian vamp at the beginning... and watch how it never sounds like it's going to resolve to F major...

I understand that part it's just that the double stops beginning on C# on the 4th sting and the E on the 3rd string and descending this pattern all the way down to the E on the 4th and A# on the 3rd has a country feel and I want to naturally resolve the pedal point in A maj.
I can resolve in E and make it right, I just have to be careful how I resolve.

Joe - I didn't realize Andy Milton had passed away. Was he involved in any other bands after the Squares? We know what you and Jeff have been up to, obviously...it'd be neat to hear what Andy went on to do as well.
To answer your question, I found those two songs while looking around online over the years, trying to track down some of your rare/out of print recordings. I have no idea where they originated...this was all two or three computers ago. ;-)
I think the Squares stuff is really fun to listen to...is there any chance you could put an official release together sometime in the future, either on CD or through iTunes? I bet a lot of us here would love to hear that...
...Austin...

Austin: Not really - I saw a bunch of them at Amoeba in SF in October last year and passed over them, and they come up on eBay. I guess one day I will regret not making the collection "complete" but I question their collectability. CD-yes, Vinyl yes.... Crappy tape?? Hmmmmmmm...
Now a vinyl of the squares would be a very nice addition to the collection, anyone got a spare one lying around? I'll pay you more than Joe does, unless he wins the Coldplay case, unless of course I win the lotto first!

While I'm asking everyone to do massive favours for me, if anyone has connections or ability to get hold of an extra JSBDG black leather (limited) guitar strap - I seriously need one. Thats what is missing from my Guitar pack, that's the price you pay for getting a one before Joe signs the certs.
I have put in the legacy CD (signed) and since got the cert. But the purdy black 20th BDG strap is missing still... :(
Thanks for any help you awesome, well connected satchers!

Austin... Jeff, John Cuniberti and I are always moving a little closer to configuring some kind of Squares retrospective. John has baked the tapes and made the digi transfers, we just need some time to focus on it.... Andy passed away a few years ago without having pulled things together enough to make it back on the stage... Jeff and I saw him a few times out on tour, but... he was battling sobriety, and not being in a band... The irony is, he's on the radio more than me and Jeff, you can hear his great voice, clear as bell on "The Dream is Over" by Crowded House a few times a day anywhere in the world... Perhaps the memories still hurt too much for us to sit in a studio and deal with ... If you know someone out there who needs saving, don't wait, jump in... Joe

Joe - It's sure nice to see you jump in here now and again and engage in conversation. It means a lot to all of us. Are you going to be able to put the final touches on your DVD before the Foot hits the road?

Joe, you've still got a few posts to hit the 1,000 mate!
You must be enjoying a little Joe time I guess, being on here so often over the last week. Everyone's gotta remember to take time to themselves. I'm sure you see this as relaxation don't you? I can't see you thinking... Oh bugger, I've not checked those bloody T2J posts, there will be pages of the buggers, damn I rue the day I agreed to that....
I think you get a kick out of reading through them when you get the chance.
I for one think you are a legend for the amount of time you spare for your fans, and it's just gonna get bigger with the chickenfoot yumcha thingy you've been roped into.
Now that I've patted your ego, got any spare Squares original EP/single/etc you can send my way? hehehehehe can't blame me for asking...
:)
All the best,
Roo

Oh, and anyone work out who's distributing for Chickfoot in Australia? I can't find out anywhere, might have to order online to ensure I get me CD and my Vinyl.

ya know Roo, now that u bring it up, it's interesting they're putting out the Chickenfoot album on vinyl....why is that?? Even Joe said in his recent Bone interview he doesn't even own a turntable anymore!!! Most peoples don't I'm thinkin....
Wonder what's the thought behind that....
But my dad has a really cool old turntable, wonder if I could sneak over there and blast him wiff some Chickenfoot, LOL!!!
He might never recover!!

Joe , I have to admit , I was hoping to see you walk out and play with Jeff Beck in Oakland. That would have been Cool!
Any G3 plans brewing...Jeff Beck ? How about Johnny Winter , I bet he would go for it , and Andy Timmons , I'll never forget the guitar clinic he did in Bozeman Mt. Blew me away....see you in San Francisco !

I think vinyl is one of those weird things like classic cars. They are just classic. There's few things in the world like that. If Ferarri put out a remake of a classic they'd sell like hotcakes.
Classic cars, rotary dialers, retro apartment decor and vinyl just stay in there.
But things like Cassette tapes, Betamax, VHS, etc. just die an d go away (except for the historians and the fanatics).
Strange isn't it. But I definitely WILL be getting the vinyl for Chicktoe, it's a MUST!
Hey, I just thought of a good name for bootlegs for chickenfoot - Chickenboot!
