Matt yeah I have some DX PLugins, but y'know with a (free) VST-Wrapper you can use VST plugins with Sonar too ;-) I'll see what I have an email you a list.
Thanks Bill.... there will be longer clips and/or full tracks coming in due course. Glad you liked it!
Sinister Footwear.... that's fighting talk where I come from, matey!!! :-p
Hugh: thanks, dude. That's also a favourite of a special friend of mine.... lessons lessons lessons yeah I know! I'm working on it, honest!!!! by the way my available time here is often sporadic... email me if you like - I'm more likely to respond a little quicker ;-)
aww sorry about that Sharon... got a tenner? You could buy one ;-) And there's always a free gift with every purchase!
DCK man I'm blushing today! I got to this level of playing by reading lots, practising *some* and then just letting what I felt come from my fingers. Man that sounds really pretentious, doesn't it? <sigh> Like I said - I can play *my* stuff OK, but ask me to do a cover and I'm like a beginner! *Your* stuff is truly unique though - keep it going!!!
Michelle: I'm still listening to the Hartford bootleg (CD2 this time)... will check out that link you posted though... thanks!
OK another long post another long day another long weekend over.... hope y'all had a good one.... it's beer beer beer bed bed bed for me (some of you will know where that comes from, and yes - I *do* look like him, except for the yellow!!!!!!!!) Later everyone... thanks for cheering me you guys. Dave

Boom Box Benny: thanks man. The mellowness (well, actually *all*) of my stuff came from a wonderful source of inspiration, so I can't take all the credit ;-)
RUSH, def mostinately!
DCK: yeah! do it! It might be kinda cool! Any format's OK for me, and my ADSL thingy is always on (even when I'm not here)... send away!!!
OK, four dogs here, two more to go and get, then running around walking them, taking them home, doing food deliveries... not to mention an assigment for my physics coming up... sounds like a typical day for PhryDom LOL!!! Later everyone, Dave
EDIT: any developers out there know where I can get a free DLL or OCX for VB that enables me to rip CDs? I have a CDDB-accessing OCX, but need a ripping control too. TIA! Dave

Clarky you succeeded where many have failed with the pitch axis thing, matey! wtg! however... without wanting to sound like one of the "it has to have a seventh" people(!!!)... isn't pitch axis more about using a *single* tonal centre and changing key *around* it (rather than thinking "OK it's an E5 for a bar, what modes can I play in?")? Like on Not Of This Earth (E), or the two-handed bit in Satch Boogie (A), or With Jupiter In Mind (E), or... well you get the picture! What you wrote *does* fit (of course!), but it seems (to me anyway) that the whole axis thing has taken a second place to getting the guys to think about what is available to them, outside the "usual" things. I hope my question makes sense! I know what I mean, but it seems brain and fingers aren't connected too well tonight - better not try and play my geetar then LOL! Anyway, good posts today - seem to have helped heaps! Thanks again! Dave

Clarky, thanks for shouting back. I hear you on that - when thinking of progressions and what's available (as opposed to the "whole song one tonal centre" thing I mentioned) I always think of Steve Vai's solo on Alice Cooper's Feed My Frankenstein... there's one note he throws in there that is just so obviously modal, it kinda grabs me by the knackers every time I hear it!!! I never bothered to work out what note (or even why), but I'd bet a pint of Guinness Extra Cold it's a sharpened fourth ;-) btw... Retrograde Inversions of Tone Rows... mmmm now you're talking!
Naty and Sharon, a few weeks ago I decided to make a butty (oops, sandwich)... there wasn't much in the fridge or cupboard, so it was gonna be a peanut butter and jam (that's jelly to some of you) sandwich... but there was no jam (jelly)... OK I thought, it's a PB sandwich... but oh! look! in the cupboard there are some crisps (chips to some of you!) in a blue bag - that means sore finger (oops - Salt N Vinegar) - "that'll work", I thought - "salty PB, mmmm"... so I opened the bag, crushed up the crisps and put them on top of the PB... put the lids on and took a huge bite.... then I remembered Walkers changing the "national standard" of colours of crisp bags... they were Cheese & Onion! So it was - a PB & Cheese & Onion crisp butty! And you know what? It was scrummy!!!!! Just felt like sharing that.... next thing I'll be telling you of the comedic escapades I had in the park the other day!
JStrat: maybe loosen the truss rod something minute, like a 16th of a turn, but please be careful with it! And PLEASE don't blame me - if you're not sure go to a good shop or luthier! HTH.
Man what a day... but at least I got my van back! Take it easy y'all! Dave

I just realised Artanis is a Satriani anagram. Yeah, I know, ole Dave can be a little slow at times! So both are called chips? Man I'd hate to play poker (but maybe not poke-her ROFL) in Oz!. Here it *used* to be blue for sore finger and green for chun, and Walkers changed them round. Gits! Hey speaking of poke-her... the London Metro did a survey last year and apparently the most up-for-it girls in London are either students or Australians (or both, I guess LOL)... never had any experience with either myself though...
Natalina: eggs & sugar? :-&
JStrat since I got it last year I've come to love my Dano Chili Dog - natural note, one octave down and two octaves down, each with their own level control. It's cool, and so cheap you could get yourself some blank CDs or some strings, cables, whatever with the change ;-)
Later all... Dave

/\/\ike and Michelle: The Adrian Belew clips are listed on his website ;-) I was trying to find out what he uses for his "staple" sounds - y'know the compressed/chorused/slap-back-delayed one, the smooth fuzz one, the harminsed one, etc, and I found those ads. Cool stuff indeed! Still didn't find what I was looking for though! D'oh!
Thanks Jelly Man... I hadn't had my espresso when I stumbled on the partial anagram!

britishrocker25 Mohog is (I think) an Ibanez JS6. It has a stop tailpiece instead of a tremolo bridge. I think it appeared shortly after the Joe Satriani album - I'm pretty sure it was requested by Joe for some of the tracks on there. The chrome guitars were (again, I think) released in very limited quantities for "special occasions", like Ibanez' birthday, the JS range's birthday, etc. I'm sure some of the other fellas on here can give you more info - I'm not into the JS guitars cos they don't make left-handed ones! :-P Hope this helps. (oh, by the way, all your posts turned up!)
Rubin I'm not sure that you can get it anywhere just yet. It's not been released anywhere (or is that the other one? I get mixed up!)
Sauron's Nose check the Discography section
migupais I have Guitar Secrets - it's VERY VERY GOOD! Enjoy it!!!
OK, lots to do (as always!), take care everyone, Dave

Sharon... 40 eh? I hear life starts then... I better enjoy what pre-birth time I have left! Just seven and a bit years to go!
trutina amazing news! thanks Joe & Mick!. I'll be there with my real name, not sure of the track's name yet... I need to run it by my song-namer, and it's only half-written! I'll let you know ASAP though.
Another house-full-of-dogs day here... happy Thursday everyone... Dave

Copyright is a right granted to creators under law. Copyright in all artistic works is established from the moment of creation (interesting point, that - see below...) - the only qualification required is that the work must be original. In addition to this, there exists a copyright in a particular recording (or performance) of a piece of work. Of course in our example this will be a commercial CD. This copyright is usually owned by the artist(s) and the producer, but sometimes a record label gets a share too! As the CD will be published (thanks Joe!) that's a completely different story, but suffice it to say that if your tune exists then it is copyrighted! The only problem you might encounter is proving it's yours. This is where the years-old practise comes into play. Record it, write it down, hum it into a dictaphone, whatever, then send that tape/CD/DAT/whatever to yourself my Special Delivery. Don't open it when it arrives! Now you have proof that your tune existed on that particular date.
Copyright and publishing is a minefield - that's why people get paid loads to look after it for musicians! In the UK check out mcps.co.uk and dacs.co.uk for more info (I quoted a bit from DACS' site above). In the USA there's a copyright registry office or something, I believe. ROW I don't know -sorry! Hope this helps you out a little guys... Dave
PS: Don't forget to put "(c) 2003 Joe Bloggs. All Rights Reserved" after the track details! ;-)

Yeah you're right Benny - you can copyright it yourself, but these organisations also "look after" your copyrighted material, so if someone uses something of yours they go and chase them for the money, etc. It saves the writers from being businessmen I guess!

Nick as soon as your song exists it is copyrighted. The recorded mail / special delivery is an add-on extra - it proves that your song existed at a particular date, so if anyone later says it's their tune you can prove it existed from the date on your Jiffy bag (remember - don't open it when it arrives! But it's a good idea to write on the outside what's inside!), and unless they're time travellers they won't be able to prove their version existed before yours did. If it goes to court they can open the parcel, listen to the CD / tape / whatever to check out your proof, and then reseal it, keeping your original copyright date intact. You can also lodge the package in a bank or with a solicitor to much the same effect (except it costs more unless your mum or dad is a banker or lawyer!).
Thanks Clarky... btw isn't it 50 years after the death of the copyright holder, and not 50 years after the date of creation? Either way yeah - old Johann's pretty much creamed! LOL
Nick (again)... Avarice accuses/accused some or all of us as being sheep cos we love Joe so much, it started as BAA BAA and then (maybe cos of what you said - the STUUU thing) it turned into MOO MOO etc.

stu clone: "Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created" ... "No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright." those quotes came from the US Copyright Office's site....
EDIT: Hugh yeah they're great aren't they? (the lessons)... I have them on my hard drive... kinda handy ;-) Sounds like you're having fun with your drum machine too! I use a Roland MBD1, it does bass too, but I hate that I can't put reverb on *just* the drums... grr...

Hugh if the 770 is like older Boss/Roland machines it probably has a Song sequencer built in. You create Patterns for your tune, then a Song is composed of those Patterns. The old DR550 used to be like this...create your Patterns (y'know - a basic kick snare hat pattern, one with a crash at the start, and one with a fill at the end = 3 Patterns, or go mad and pretend to be Neil Peart in a box = 450,000 Patterns!!! ROFL) then go into Edit Song Mode and enter the Pattern numbers to create the backing for your tune. Reverb on bass usually muddies up the sound, so I tend not to use it (unless someone wants to do a fretless solo for me some time! LOL)... I don't think you're going to *need* a sequencer, unless you're going to use a computer for recording your audio and have loads of other MIDI stuff going on too.... have fun dude!
Nick... check out What Is Copyright?, How Can I Protect My Rights?, and Should I Use An Unofficial Copyright Register? at our government's Intellectual Property web site. Most of your questions can be answered there. They strongly recommend the Special Delivery method. Hope this helps.
EDIT: ballsed up one of the links.
stu clone I'm not gonna bother either - your first point, however was incorrect, which is what I was addressing. Copyright is automatic. If someone nicks your tune, and you can prove it existed before they can, then it doesn't matter *where* your proof is, as long as you have it. You'll win. There's no "compensation" per se - it's an "I'm gonna sue your ass" situiation every time ;-) But for me personally, my tunes are all silly little things - wtf is gonna want to steal em anyway ;-)
EDIT2: stu clone did you do a search for Joe at their site? Interesting reading! ;-)

(quick post... gotta run....) yeah Hugh - you can program an empty Pattern - just delete all the sounds in it - it'll still last four bars (or whatever you set it to) but it won't play anything ;-) Later! Dave

Nick using a company doesn't make it any more official, it just saves you from keeping *your* version safe and sound ;-)
Hugh no partying I'm afraid... I had to take some doggies home... and now I have to work on some coding & database stuff <sigh> Fridays are like every day for me... I'm still working tomorrow <sigh> ...
yeah, come on invigor... tell us! (btw... I'd like to talk to you about something.... email me....
Austin I thought Ace played with fireworks and big boots? The only soul I can detect is an arsehole :-D
that1kid there's no capo in that tune that I know of... :-/
EDIT: I can't believe I made an apostrophe error!!! It's OK though - I'll admonish myself later..... and then I might tell myself off! LOL

chron, you're right. Each to his own and all that.... I don't care for Kiss, but hey - they're (very) popular, back then and now too! I personally *love* Skid Row's first album (very very personally - it really does mean a lot to me) and know that if it wasn't for Kiss then it probably would have been very different.... but my piss-take was triggered by (I think it was) Austin: the forums on the Kiss site seem to say that Joe n Steve suck, because Ace plays with emotion, and Joe n Steve, apparently, dont.... I don't want to start listing specifics, etc - like I said, each to his/her own.... and more to the point, WHY? What's the point? Lots of people like Joe... lots of people like Kiss...why on earth would you want to waste your life talking about something/someone you don't like? I personally have more important things t do...

trutina March 31st is fine with me dude, and I have a name for the track too ;-)
Happy 399, 400, 401 /\/\ike!!
AustiNitsuA 699!! man!! oh, btw in TMPHGT Joe's right hand stops extraneous string noise for the one-handed arpeggios - it's not acting as a capo ;-)
Our Benjamin, I can change the date on my computer and prove I had a copy of Windows 2000 in 1967!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you're all having a good weekend.. I think I'll watch some Joe stuff off the hard drive (I hooked up the music PC to the network again :-) ) and then maybe some MST3K this afternoon for a good old giggle! Later everyone... Dave

OK peeps I just bought the domain for the CD... it will be http://www.talk2joe.com/ (t2j.com has already been taken) when it's up and running... whoever is doing the design can email it to me when they're ready... getting excited now... I'm pretty much finished with my tune, just need to work on a solo and write an ending... and re-record the melody lines again! LOL.. Later!

OME I was talking to Naty about my track last night (we were trying to give it a name).... I said it sounded to me like a squishy orange/brown/red sperical cloud, and it makes me feel like flowing and mellow and excited, all at the same time! (yeah, i know, I'm nuts!)... it's kinda upbeaty with a bit of a reggae feel in places, and i'm not sure if i'll use the wah or any effects on the melody, just the dirt box.... i hope at least *someone* likes it, that's all!
EDIT: Nick, I thought (well I meant to say) I said "when it's ready".... it takes a while to set up the thing... hang in there... and besides... there's nothing to go on it yet!!!!
