name that tune

did did diddlyyy did did diddlyyyy didledidledidledidledidledidledidledidie (thats going up chromatic scale)

sort like the circus tune...anyone know how to play it on guitar? jordan rudess of dream theater can play it on keyboards with both hands flawlessly (as you expect from him)

someone posted on the john petrucci forum that it was recorded and been released on dvd...

i'm back home for today..off to derby tomorow..then back to guildford on monday.

how about the current war in iraq and how messed up the world is for a theme??

and realize the infinite opportunities that are waiting for you - thats called a pub brawl

back to guildford now after a weekend at home...

clarky...since you didn't respond to my txt..i'm guessing you cant due to money or a crap phone..anyway...email me with any news on a jam..and you need that album..Ayreon - The Human Equation is one of the best albums i've heard.

i'm so pissed off with one of the tutors at the acm that i just walked out of his lesson..he told me to go..so i did. all because i didn't want to write down this scale shape.

and so i've sent the acm a complaint

962..yeah he is a twat..he cant teach anyway..i can do a better job then him.

Neil..it was James Betteridge...a new guy...he's doing the degree course but yet he's teaching but doesn't go to the degree lessons but yet he's doing the exams...weird...he's an idiot. i think it was during term 2 that me and him got fed up with each other and i'll said i'll leave and he said dont. but now..over a stupid scale shape..he tells me to leave..it did happen whether you believe it or not, a bit like your signed vai london dvd eh? remember when i said i didn't belive you?..i'm pissed off with him...i told the acm that in an email. they haven't replied though....

Neil...i dont like scale shapes..they're useless apart from developing speed and accuracy in some ways..i only know the first shape of the 3 note per string major scale shapey things for the reason of helping developing speed and accuracy...for sololing..why not learn the notes your using in the key...know the notes on the neck and widdle away..knowing that the notes you pick work well with the chord..and not just saying..this is the scale shape..every note works...scale shapes are limiting. why not use between frets 0 and 24 (or however many you got) and use your heart and ear to help choose the notes and where you go...

and heres a story for everyone
once upon a time...
...in a land not so far away...there was this woman who went to the doctor complaining about a stomach ache. the doctor asked if she had eaten anything out of the ordinary. she replied "yeah, a fly". "hmm..." said the doctor.."better get some rest then". so she went home, and went to bed. foolishly she left her mouth open, a spider was tempted by the smell of rotting fly coming from her stomach. so the spider crawled in, followed by a bird, a cat, a dog, a vet and some police officers investiating the dissapearence of a couple of vets and a few animals. when the woman woke up, she was now about 40 stone and couldn't move. immediatly, she phoned the one person that can help - Jerry Springer and the Sun newspaper. this of course lead to the headline the following day of a 40 stone woman who had taken the nursey ryhme a bit too far (oh the irony there ;)) the goverment had to interveen at this point and said that a public inquiry would follow as soon all the facts were gathered. while this was all happening, the woman went onto Jerry Springer and attracted 6 million viewers (most of them from birmingham and liverpool). She went onto a fit farm thing on channel 4 but couldn't fit thru the door so she had to be carried in by articulated truck and lifted in by 3 cranes thru the roof. after 3 weeks there...while the public inquiry was still going...she had managed to reduce her weight by sheddding a couple of policeman and so can now fit through the door, but in a wheel barrow. After the public inquiry found that the fly was to blame, the policeman were sent back in to arrest the fly. Unfortunatly they never came back and the whole incident passed in another couple of days.

the end

Neil...i dont like working in scale shapes...i see what key i'm working in..see what notes i've got to play..and play them notes...simple...

clarky..."learn from examples"..well..when i listen to music..i think i may of told you this before...anyway...when i listen to music i dont just casually listen, i pick up the way the instruments interact..this doesn't come on first listen but over time after alot of listens, each time i listen to a song i sometimes discover something new or something that didn't relate to my song-writing at first but now does. i dont like learning alot of someone else's stuff...i do try to play bits of satch, dt, vai etc...just because its cool...and maybe work from that or something...and also if i learn all the guitar parts, its something away from listening to them for me. when this course is over and when i'm back home i will look at arppegios.

mowlie...yeah...maybe...but at the moment..its not really done anything..apart from some band experience which is very useful but i expected more.

footballs boring...
