BeNnels, Why not the G3 events? Have I missed something?

Yeah, there's a limit to how much information can be written on a DVD. The file size of the footage taken at the show would have far outweighed the capacity of the disc, so they have to choose a selection from their set.

tune, good to see you're still with us, and dry too! haha

OCPS470, you mean PTFE....you can get the same thing in adhesive tape form to put on threads in plumbing joints to help seal them. It's also commonly referred to as just thread-tape, but PTFE is what's actually in it.

Teflon is cool. Another thing you could try is copper-lube. It's common in the auto trade - all mechanics will have a big pot of it for greasing up bearings and joints on your car, but it's also a remarkable lubricant for the nut and bridge saddles on your geetar.

I was having problems with the strings catching in the graph-tech nut on my SA1260, so it was recommended I get some copper grease/copper-lube in there. It's now about as stable as my Jem was, and it doesn't have a locking nut or bridge.....it does have locking tuners though :-P

Now playing: "Soul With A Capital S" ~ Tower Of Power

cuthbert, fair point, but you gotta appreciate that dakook was just suggesting that some words are perhaps a little too extreme.

kd6aaj's post (or the first line of it anyway) is, I think, enough justification the dakook was right to flag it up!

luv4theking, no I was just idly curious! I'm always intrigued to know the motivation when somebody changes the way they want people to refer to them!

The only thing is, your new name could be misinterpreted as you being someone who's really into Elvis! hehe

gotta have joe, I'm sorry, my comment wasn't meant to make you change your nickname! But I have to say, the new one is ace!

Yeah my day is good so far, thanks. I got hired to teach guitar at a local school this morning so I'm pretty pleased about that! And you? how's your day so far?

This - "If I ever get married I want you to play at my wedding. I think that would be the best thing there" - cracked me up.....sounds like you wouldn't be too fussed about who you were marrying if it meant you got to have Joe playing at your wedding?! hehe

Keniko, thanks amigo! Yeah, I'm well pleased about it, I've wanted to do some guitar teaching in schools for ages, so this is my first step!

Yeah, I totally know what you mean about transcribing.....I started doing a simplified "A Train Of Angels" for some of my students last week. Afterwards I was trying to figure out some of the solo and it is so badass! haha. Also, I started looking at some Eric Johnson stuff a couple of moths back and just hit a brick wall, but it was definitely one of those moments where you're laughing in sheer disbelief/amazement that they really are playing what it sounds like they're playing! hehe. Good stuff!

Keniko, no you didn't mislead me.....athough you're almost transcribing, you're just not getting as far as the "Scribing" part. I actually do thoroughly recommend writing down a tune or two yourself.....tabbing out other people's stuff can be quite enlightening, 'cause it's one of the purest ways of breaking the tune down to it's mathematical structure. Writing in the expression and then playing it back takes on a different feel! It's cool.

Maybe I'm suggesting this 'cause I want you to tab out the House Full of Bullets solo so I don't have to?! haha, just kidding.

trutina, I thought you used to go round to your neighbour's place and use their computer 'cause you never had a net connection anyway?

gotta have joe, sorry, yeah that was all kinds of wrong wasn't it?! hehe :-p

Powerslave, I'm sure one of the production hard-tail JS's was done with a natural finish, but, as far as I know, none of the JS1000's.

LucySorets, haha, yeah I'd love an all-expenses-paid trip to Madrid! And thanks, you don't know how much it means to be grouped with the "Talk To Joe geniuses".....of course, I disagree entirely but if you like some of my stuff then I'm happy!

Also, yeah I saw footage of some of the Alonsomania going on in Spain at the moment.....he's something of a national hero, which is cool, he deserves it I think! That's ace that your bro-in-law shares his name! Good to see you back here :-)
