Wow..... I wasn't prepared for this! where all the green gone???? Quality stuff though, looks really great.

Hey guys.... what time sig is Woodstock Jam in? there are other songs in non 4/4 time sigs, there's a bit of 6/8 (eg. sleep walk, what i've heard) There are occasionally odd bars of different time sigs (eg a 2/4 bar in home) Oh, how could i forget... Flavour Crystal 7 in 7/4. I'd say New Last Jam is in 5/8 rather than 5/4.

ozzybradboy- the fx edge is a fixed brige it has no tremolo capabilities, it is a fixed bridge designed to feel like the edge bridge for people who aren't interested in floating bridges- it was the number one modification request for JS1000s so they created the js200cg.

austin- now you have too much time on your hands.... yesterday anyway :) with reference to the coil tap thing, it's easily enough done... I have it easy, I have a JS100 which has the coil tap but not the high pass filter... anyway, you continue to be one of the coolest people on the site cause you simply don't get bored of answering people's questions... great guy..

Neil Morgan... Yeah Maths is pretty heavy- particularly if you're doing the whole a2 in one year like me.. I'm also taking Music (Edexcel) which i enjoy loads... it would be cool to meet up sometime, maybe at the london show if you're going, have a jam at some point Thanks for the Davestock info- dunno if I'll be able to make it all the way down to hastings (it's a fair distance from here on Sussex).

Mr M. Lava I completely agree with your comment and wouldn't think of arguing about it.

austin - yeah, hats off to the usa, did you see some of them mexicans on Cobi Jones I think (his name was something like that)- absolutely dirty.. not as bad as Argentina though :p USA have done very well to get so far, good luck against Germany. Then against Italy (probably). Man it would be cool to have a USA vs England final ...... but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

neil- my girlfriend had her last music A2 exam yesterday- doing the edexcel paper.... don't tell me you do that one too??

satch- can't wait for the cd!!!! the samples sound so great! less than a week til you arrive in the uk (metaphorically)

Unlucky England... well, not really unlucky, although the refereeing was severely questionable to both sides, it went pretty fairly in the end.

three epic pieces on my mind to talk about.....

OK Austin, OK, I'll write bits about the first three songs while I listen to them right now....

Oriental Melody-

Great starting riff- it's really catchy the underlying theme to this song. Drums come in- with arkward 4/4 a la Time. Echoey guitar part- not my favourite, but is quite moody. The moody theme keeps going with some exotic scale. Then Joe plays some groovy chorus like hooks, which I love, before returning to the original theme with synth strings adding to the tune. Then Joe starts to solo- usual deal- slow changes of key, some pretty cool riffs come up with. Then back to the echoey guitar bit, followed by the chorusy hook bit. That has to be my favourite bit of the tune. More stringey tuneness, before the drums come out, and the tune ends neatly.

Belly Dancer-

Cool classic satch riff, sounds like some earlier stuff in composition with a guitar riff or two, a tune over the top and some fairly standard drums.

Very cool pre-chorusy bit, particularly when the harmony guitar bit comes in. Makes me very dizzy. The chorus tune- sounds quite Vai-ish in my opinion, particularly with the tapping coming in kinda reminiscent of Steve Vai's Fever Dream.

Then back to the main tune again, followed by an outro riff which the band basically jam to.

Starry Night- The delicate accompaniment of chords with a fairly delicate tune is throughout this one, similarly to "you Saved My Life". There is a chord change that suggests to me Joe might have been listening to Oasis at the time... I dunno but something about that chord makes me think of Oasis. if i listened properly I'm sure i would recognise it as an Augmented chord. I dunno.

The outro has a very cool guitar chord sequence which reminds me of john Petrucci on the softer bits of "Biaxident and Hourglass" from LTE.

master yoda of neilage! - well, some of the summer i'm free, term ends on the 19th July (day after satriani) The week after that is a good time though- problem is my amp's just gone faulty- i got a bad high/low power switch :( Let me know..

anibur- nice to see you, to see you nice. Plum Loco - great news, very exciting, so are you moving in with April? Scary but exciting... good luck with the whole thing anyway.

This album gets better and better....

what breaks a heart Starts out with eerie chord sequence and wah drenched tune, fairly relaxed but sad. The main tune then comes in harmonised in thirds, still wah drenched very catchy. The instruments then build up, giving way to a great chord based riff sequence, with wah guitars playing a new tune.

JS Clone 1 - I know what you mean about EOC, it truly is great. Great melodic feel over the top of some pretty out there chords. SBM has all that melody and more, but with some real groove. But not so jazzy chords in general.
