[bAustin - Yeah i've seen that. That's a relatively new one. I've memorized all the characters lines for most evry episode.
Master Yoda - I'm looking forward to it. To be honest, i've only ever read music for 3 years for trombone (bass clef). I never really cared about it much so I never excelled in it. This year i'm taking a begginners level guitar class. It's ridiculously easy at this point but the basics for reading music was brought back to me and the treble clef was introduced. I went from the first exercise we did in that class which was quarter notes, half notes, dotted half and quarter notes, eigth notes and whole notes all the way to a classical guitar piece called "Panis Angeilcus". by Cesar Frank. It's quite nice. I'm think i'm at the 6th measure. I've only spent 20 minutes on it so far but I really wanna finish it all.

Climber - I think I know why not many people check out your music. You have to go through this registration period with a user name, password, email and the sort.
I highly recommend iuma.com or mp3.com. Downloads are quicker and easier. I'm sure more people would visit that way.
I remember one of your songs which I liked. It kind of had a techno backing with an SRV type rhythm guitar with a Satriani melody if my memory serves me well.
I'll check out more though, I really will. Let me know if you're gonna consider the other mp3 hosting sites.

Climber - I'll still recommend IUMA. Takes up to a week to egister with them, depending on how budy they are but it's quick and simple. Great download speeds and site layout. Nice looking site, a comments section, songs are the first thing listed and you get your picture there. Also, you get your site named 'yourname'.iuma.com so it's easy to remember.
That's my recommendation.

Psycho Monkey - You got that Malmsteen tech spec right. The 2 springs floating the bridge in the back though; for string bending, it's actually worse. You have to bend a string farther because the bridge gives forward with the increased string tension. Having a fixed bridge is actually a little nicer. There's more control over the string.

Sparrow - Yeah Joe uses it. Doesn't make it better or worse. It may be a floating bridge but there are drawbacks to having locked whammy capabilities. Drawbacks severe enough for it to be forbidden by some guitar player's religions.
matt king - Are you serious!? That blows my mind because theoretically that should not be. I have an Edge and a Lo Pro myself. I'll try that sometime when I care enough about guitar again. This hand injury is getting to my brain.
I wasn't volunteering Clone 2, Austin. I said i'd ask him. You trying to get me shot here?
Clone 2's learning Crushing Day and he'll get it too.
I am supposed to be learning Hordes of Locusts for the same show but my hand won't let me. Funny how things work.

Tapper5 - My friend and I will make it just before 2:00pm. We'll be giving you a call at 1:30pm latest.
matt king - More sustain with an Edge and 2 springs? Man, this makes no sense to me. I mean JS's don't have the greatest sustain setup as it is. A small basswood body with a floating bridge. Still among my fave.
Matt You should check out Herc Fede for a Donnie painting on your JSWH. email Rich Harris at rich@ibanezrules.com.
He will give you Herc's info. I have seen pictures of Herc's work. He does this glow in the dark blue Donnie paint. It is absolutely breathtaking. The pictures of this are at www.jemsite.com , look through thet JS forum. Clone 2 is considering getting it done to his BP.
PLUM LOCO - Thanks man! Means a lot. I haven't played since I wrote this. It kinda hurt my hand again.

Matt King - You checked my mp3's at exactly the wrong time. We just got a new sound card and it has the option for analog line in. I'm re-recording all my mp3's to wav/mp3. They will sound so much clearer and so much better overall. Thanks though.
Tapper5 - Jacquie - I had a blast yesterday. Some of the most fun i've had. More fun than I can remember.
Tapper5 - Great fun and a pleasure meetnig you. A jam would be great. Hand needs healing though.
Nick Lee - *deep breath in* eeaaaaaaauuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Plum Loco - Throw in some maggots on the rotting flesh and you can paint my 7V.

Tapper5 - Practice as many scales in as many positions otherwise you'll turn out like me and get stuck on one key. The more scales, the more positions you know, the more you learn about scale patterns, the quicker you come to understanding and using them. Definately and without a doubt.

Tapper5 - Well any scale is good to learn in as many positions as possible.
Of course, you're going to want to start of with the 7 major scale (church or liturgic) modes and work with them. One night you may want to practice G# phrygian. One night you may want to learn Fminor, who knows? Maybe you'd practice 1 scale per week on the fretboard.
Yes, as Matt and Clarky said, take each mode as a scale on it's own.
Learning the order of the modes and how they connect and continue off eachother on the fretboard is a way help when writing chord progressions because you know which root note will make a major, minor or diminished chord ASSUMING you're staying in the same key.

Tapper5 - Ok you know the C major scale then. You could also say you know Cmaj (ionian), D Dorian, E phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian (minor) and B Locrian.
Say, you learn C# major and it's modes for example?
Also for example you could take the scale you already know all over the neck and try something different.
For example, I can't even count the hundreds of times i've played E minor or major or whatever all over the neck but I keep finding new ways to ascend and descend through the scale. I might run up the scale using 3 notes per string, 4 notes per string, 5 notes per string, or 3 notes on one string and 5 notes on the next. Or I may ascend by 3rds (1-3, 2-4, 3-5 etc...).
