About my idea...

Hey All,

I'm sixteen and learning scales (and doing good thanks to five years of classical music/piano) and I'd like to know if you guys know the best of Joe's books to learn his scales trick, because I know how to solo with scales, I know what scale or mode to use on a given chord, but I'd like to know some extra tricks, and I heard Satch had a particular way to use his scales and modes, so which books could I use, and also which books could teach me his tricks with the digitech whammy and tremolo bar to do all the crazy wails?

962: Does the book you recommended teaches stuff with the tremolo bar and whammy at the same time, or would you recommend to buy a second book that you know?

962- yeah I was referring to the digitech whammy pedal, because I think I saw satch combine it with his wang bar, but I can't really figure out what his done...

Now other question, does anyone know a song where you hear pinch harmonics played REALLY fast? I'd like to check it out if someone knows (I'll give the reasons later), and I know there's some guy that does two handed taping with the both hands holding the neck upside down (opposite of Van Halen who's got both his hands on the top of the neck) but I dunno who it is, does anyone know?...

cosmic_ape- Hey I practiced today and it worked, I manage to play my P.Hs even, and VH picking fast, I figured out how to sound up strokes! Proud of myself! :). Of course I have a nice over drive pedal marshall drive master that help me out, to get lots of gain, but I haven't cranked it up to the max. Now that I succeed all my PHs I gotta practice playing different frets, caus I've been manly focusing on picking play the hell outa one note again and again in the last two hours, but I'm sure I'll soon be able to play a whole melody, the problem is you gotta move your hand up and down the string to do PHs... so I gotta practice moving my picking hand... ah well...

About cosmic ape's problem...

I know a ask a lot of them, but I have a question...

Hey Joe

Hi all,

Just wanted to say somethin' about the G3 shows...

Joe and the crew should turn up the volume for vocals caus I always feel like the vocals aren't loud enough... so If Joe happens to read this, turn up the volume...

I have a question for anyone who already asked Joe since I know he doesn't have the time to answer such a useless question... but hum, has Joe met the avant-garde buckethead? I'm curious about that guy, caus he's got talent, and yet does this dumb stuff about wearing a bucket and a mask, but I'm convinced he isn't crazy, he just does that to get attention, he's probably just some eccentric annoying person that wants to get heads turning his way, and doesn't believe any of the silly stuff he's saying... So since I never had an answer to that, does buckethead really believe what he says? Or when he gets personnal with co-workers he just gives the whole coop thing a break...?

Death Cube K...

hahaha, I see you like his little jokes too XD! Yeah all right I guess I'll never know if he is just nuts or just does that to get attention and get every one annoyed...
