Joe - Great to hear from you!! Im looking forward to this year!! Im sure a tour covering UK would be very much welcomed!! I will certainly be there!!

Hope everyone else is cool. My stomach is still not quite right after new years eve!! I should now try laying off the booze a bit!

Zach - hey man hows it going? good I hope - that is very interesting on the whole space thing, I wonder what the reason could be that they are hiding stuff but i find anything to do with space very interesting! It makes you wonder just what is real, what the goverment etc may be hiding about all sorts of stuff!! or then maybe there is very little that they hide?? who knows!

I am well thanks but I still havent installed my trembolt. I have recently been in one of those annoying 'guitar ruts' where I cant seem to get into guitar, I was waiting for my strings to die before i change them but as i havemt used it much they seem to still be ok!! I think the weekend may be designated to fixing the trem bolt in!! I hope my 'guitar rut' passes soon as they come and go and some last months!!!

Trutina - I hope you get well soon! I know you are very much missed on the this board!

Hope everyone else is well

Zach - hey dude, what are your theories then man? I was cheking out the pics on the nasa website and i noticed that on the firsst pictures of earth that were beamed back in the 70's, there were no visible stars in the picture, just black!! what do you think about that?

Zach - Wow! well I look forward to the day we can meet up and discuss this sort of thing!! it really gets my mind working!!

Take a look at this picture, you will see no stars but still a fantastic shot i think, Earth from space

Zach - lol lol !! - when im not in this rut i play for a couple of hours a day on average and noramlly i change strings every week or so but as i havent been playing much it hasnt warranted it.

Tastey - yer I know the feeling about being mentally tired!!! I feel drained!! ithink its because i adjusted my body clock over the xmas perios to stay up late and get up late and now my body has gone into shock coming back to work!! also im completly bored out my mind!! checking yahoo mail every 2 seconds or so!!

Tastey - yer when it gets slow all the little things I could be doing I have no motivation to do it!!

Well I must say that i havent followed your situation 100% but I think i have caught the gist of whats been going on! can you not really listen to any of your music? thats must be double bad!!

Tastey - well I certainly feel for you if you cant listen to music. Music is my life and it would make it worse for me not to be able to hear it!

its quite unique for someone to really love Joe and not play any instrument - is there anyone else in here that doesnt play any instrument?

962 - yes I think we have all been down in the classic guitar rut many times!! I wonder if Joe ever had a similar problem or not?

Michelle - I do apologise :) - did you ever consider learning an instrument or?

guitarnut777 - They Stuuuuuuu him not Booooo him!!

Hello people

Just quickly checking in to wish everyone a very nice weekend!! Hope everyone is well!!!

Hello people, just checking in to say hello, hope everyone is cool.

Not a lot to report!

Hello people hope everyone is cool, Im ill at the mo which is not good, This flu thing that's going around is nasty!!

Icezer - Sorry I keep missin' ya on MSN, been quite busy recently but hopefulyl catch up with ya later.

Zach - you out there bro? How you doin'?

And great to hear from you Joe!! always a good thing!!!

Geez, its boring here at work today! And this board goes very quiet when im bored!

Just started using fruity loops and i must say how impressed i am at the difference in playing guitar on its own and playing guitar with drums. before i only used my GFX for drum loops and that is very monotonous but with fruity loops you can easily change the pattern throught the song!! definately worth looking at!

Trutina - Welcome back, just checked out your tune. Well good! I will be checking out your other tunes when im home from work! How do you go about recording? straight into the PC or via an amp or...?

Yer hopefully now im getting into this fruity loops thing I should have some of my own music up there. having a drum beat has filled me with some inspiration

Master Yoda - Cool explanation on time sigs. Still a very grey area for me though. Perhaps if one day you have time we could discuss it on MSN?

Hello people, just my quick post to check in and say hi. Nothin to report though!

Hey people

havent been on here in a while, just though id check in and say hi.

I havent read any posts from the last few weeks so if I havent respoded to anyone then thats why..

littlewing1908 - Hey there Im from near you as well!! Defiantely be attending the Bournemouth gig! I was willing to travel for as many miles as it would take to see Satch but he has made it so easy for me!

962 - I hope you will be attending that gig!! we will have to catch up then! I know its a long way away but its pretty exciting!

Take it easy people!

Thanks to the people that posted the chat here. it seemed pretty good! shame they can't consider people in the UK when choosing these venues, and people under 18!!

Kevin - just checked out your soundclick. Like the tune a lot. Going to give it more of a listen tonight as at work at mo and only have small speakers! defiantely seems fitting for the extreme sports side of things!

Do the Stu - thanks very much for the offer!! I have now sourced most of them but there was just a little jam called random idea! Fortuantely it was nothing special to me, I'll just sit tight and wait for IUMA to start working again and i'll get it!! I am in the process of moving everything over to my own site! - cheers again!

Jazzy - Please stop slating Zach and his Trembolt. It's not neccesary at all. Zach is a good guy as many people have said on here. You are obviously entitled to your opinions but if they are negative then sometimes they are better not expressed constantly. Cheers
