bfranco - Check out Joe's newest album if you haven't. It's got some great blues rock kind of stuff on it.

Stu Clone - Yup definately. I thought "...Melons" was excellent.

Hamdo - Yes, he has played CRATS live.

ArtanisI - It's all about mines, tanks and EMP vs Toss.

stu clone - People didn't dig melons eh? Let me know when there's more tunes. So far you're 1 for 1 in my book. Melons is great. The melody sounds very refined and professional.

Artanis - What maps you like?

EyesofFire - FTLOG is a difficult song. You must've worked hard to have it ready for stage. And the legato in FIABD, also not easy. So why do you think you were cut? I'm sure that if your friends are real friends, they will understand that in life sh*t happens and sometimes you have no control over it. This was for school you say?

Lord of Karma6 - (The live tunes) HERE HERE!

Slanshroom - The guitar playing in Flymans knuckle is veyr nice. The drums especially impress me in this piece.

Artanis - Too bad it's fake. Notice 2 extra thumbs fretting the same string. Demonished?

OCP - I wanna hear your latest.

What does it mean if you've played guitar for 10 years but rarely enjoy it unless it involves preparing to play live or playing live?

I haven't seriously touched a guitar for a month and thne before that there was another guitar drought and i'm starting to not care.

r6r - Actually the reason i'm asking is cause i've already taken lots and lots of time off and don't even feel like a guitar player anymore.

Plum - Interesting suggestion although I have no interest in the mechanics of guitar.

Migupais - Modes are a great way of taking 7 different scales and practicing them until you ultimately start looking at them as 12 notes you can use at any time, but at certain times, some are more pleasing to the ear (subjective) then others.

Fo-gedaa-boud-it

Matt - How does inverting Fmaj7 change it from Amixo to Aminor. They're still the same notes, how does the scale change in the same key.

Matt - You say you have a chord with the notes, say, 1 2 3 4, and inverted it making it 2 3 4 1, and somehow it goes from A mixo to A minor

Matt - Yes I understand that but when you said Amixo, I never got where that came into it.

OME - I am really diggin this new tune, Lunatic Mystery. This is album worthy material.

Matt - ...and now everyone is in understanding.

Bahumit - The shared dream and unknown person dream are amazing. How the hell can you share a dream!?

I'm listening to some JS today and I realize, the man's a musical genius and he just normally doesn't show it. 3 songs in particular:

Baroque, Dreaming #11 and I am Become Death

Everyone of those songs impresses me so much on a musical level aswell as listening enjoyment.

OCP - Nice short melodic clip, very cleanly played as usual.

Pete - My main impression, very fuid shred solo. Sounded improvised and all your techniques flowed nicely I thought.

Pete - Actually, oops I lied, the thing I love most about your new tune is that cooooool ass backing to it. The rhythms that the drums throw out at you and the cool progression behind it. I haven't analysed it really but it's an awesome listen.

What is it you like most about your new song exactly? You seem happy with it.

---I coulda double posted for this and although it is deserving;

Baroque - Is proof that Joe is a genius. Why do I say that? To say this as simply as possible;

All the little chord changes throughout each and every chord and the way the low notes and high notes are different between each chord and partial chord and forms the melody it does.

Ok it wasn't that simple... beautiful

OCP - I think it should do as a demo. Sounded a little too predictable for a song but nice for a tone clip.

Pete - I'm going to have your clip a listen again tomorrow (tired now) and try to figure out what the hell you're doing there. It's a crazy rhythm backing.

Greg M - Dreaming #11? Which song are you talking about. That album is just one studio song and 3 live.

quito - Yeah all open strings.

Ethn - I read the Real Frank Zappa Book 2 years ago for english. It was funny.

Iambic - The 11th of E is A in the next octave. Since the open A string is in the same octave as the low E string, considering the low E string in the root note, it is instead called Emin7add4. A is E's 4th. Hence 'add4'.
