Zenfish:Well bro,i dont judge others,at least by skin colour etc etc meaningless nonsense,if someone shows respect t me i give back,its a ying yang thing,nothing more.The beauty of music is that hopeless devide between cultures through words that cant be said.You will always be able to visit & come & go as you please,i,m not bound by rules,nor ever will be,as you are Zen,nothing more required

Death Cube:I,m on an up curve bro happy t say,was a lil rough a while back,but it comes with the flow,cant avoid some things.On my feet again & at it,have all a man could ask for,so yeah,no complaints here apart from getting my fingers around this last track,lol,How r you?

Zenfish,

Maybe my knowledge of French, or lack of it has misguided my interpertation of what you've said to beedoo.

My apologies if I have not understood you....

When will we hear music of yours to enjoy?

Steevee T, your French is pretty damn good for a Yank considering your second language is Spanish. Man I wish my Spanish was as good as your French!!! I think we ALL better learn some Mandarin PDQ!!!

civgeek,

I use to cop EC's Strat sound, still like it, but grew out of it!

Once Jimi Hendrix died, Eric Clapton ruled the Guitar World for a short while (in certain circles)....he was called slowhand, God....Santana was probably the only other Guitarist that could compare during that period. Try to imagine a world before masters like Satch, Vai, EVH, Yngwie and all the others that created the word Shred. Jimmy Page, albeit a genius in several ways...his treatment of blues....blaah! Rain Song-Genius!

Currently, new, EC...I don't bother with, his blues stuff on Layla...some of the tastiest blues guitar licks to this date (IN MY OPINION).

I now favor a JS Ibanez sound & Les Paul Custom w/ DiMarzio's...Satch uses a EC/Strat rhythm sound on a couple of his earlier recordings.

Peace!

slanshroom all is good here.. busy with work..all that kinda stuff.. other than that all is good.

mikesb,

It's funny, when I was in my teens I was much more close minded about many things, music being one of them!

Senility....what a concept....now, what did you say again! lol!

To prove my open mindedness...I'd like to go on record, and say....I listen to Satch way too much everyday .... cause....he's got so many great tunes, tones & taste....that Satch has replaced every guitar Hero I've ever had...INCLUDING HENDRIX....the creative genius that he was... in his way too short of a career!

Thanks for the license to use French...I thought I mis-read Zenfish...maybe I did!

Peace!

Stevee T - Cant remember if I mentioned it but I checked out your site and it is great!!! I love the music too. If you have chance, have a listen to a few of the covers I have done by going Here or Here. There is a song on there called Blowout and it is eventually going to have vocals on it. If you compare it to my track on Satchurated Feedback you will notice it is a little (!!!!!) bit heavier. Hope you enjoy it!!!

Happy Sunday Satchland !!

mowlie_2000,

I remember going to your site cause of your work on the T2j CD when I first joined this site, and was very impressed with your tunes.

Now, after checking your site again...Gary Moore's tune very nice blues guitar you're playing there (really digging in)...who's doing the singing on all the tunes...yourself?

I listened to a bunch more, but there's a freshly Roasted Chicken basted in Merlot sitting on the table. mmmmm it smells good!

I'll catch up with you in a little while!

Bon Apetite!

IUMA charts

over all - 131

wow... three top 10's.....

for all you guys that helped me to get such high rankings...
thanks.... this really makes me feel all warm inside...
and it totally blows me away..... it really does...
once again... thanks guys....

Yes cd's... another couple of great cd's are: Going For the One and Relayer.... superb stuff....

Yessongs is one of my favourite cd's of all time....

thanx for offering to buy a copy....
when that album is done I'll be shouting from the roof tops.. lol..
and I'm on the home strainght now...
I just checked out mix: 01 of the The Baptist....
the snare is a touch low, the hats are a touch high, the strings need a tiny nudge up, the ryhthm guitars need a tiny nudge down and in two places I need to pull the lead guitar up a touch..
hopefully, mix:02 will be the one...

then I get to record The Rape of the Sabine Women....

I'm getting quite excited now that the end is in sight..

I love Steve Howe's approach... although I'm not a big fan of his tone, it totally suits the overall sound of the band so I'd never complain about it....
there's something about the solo on the Yessongs version of Yours is no Disgrace... I can't put my finger on what it is exactly... but I just love the way it flows... and the wah work is just so amazingly cool...

steeveT - Rob is signed to Favoured... Ricky is not... Ricky's cd's can be got from his own website... and he is definately worth checking out... he's a very cool player.... creates some very nice grooves....
they are both very very good.. worth looking into...
personally I prefer Ricky's music.. that hits the spot for me..
but each to their own... so check them both out...

I know about Satch 'backing out' of the really tricky parts live'.. but then most players do.. even Pretrucci has from time to time..
I guess the need to keep the overall performance solid out weighs getting bogged down with the details and exposing yourself... so long as the overall contour and vibe is maintained then I guess that'll do...
in the interests of not making a tit of myself, I guess I'll have to do the same... lmao...

I am well known for going our on a limb and playing right on the ragged edge....
for me... that's the only place to be....

but in all honesty... I've never played something as difficult as the Baptist ever before live on stage....
I'll find a way... lol..
that's what Clarky's do the best.... lmao..

there are moments on Shredz that are much more demanding, certainly there are licks with far more pace, and right the way through it's definately more expressive than anything from my IUMA collection...

you'd be surprised when you get to hear Shredz... it has many angles to it... it passes through a great many dynamic places... from very heavy right down to very light... and sometimes those two dynamic extremities are side by side....

- black often appears most dark along side white -

wife is back to her usual self..... lol... so I'm back in the shit again... lmao...

I don't mind you posting my address.... the more folks that check out and get into my playing the happier I get.... thanx...

I just hope there is a little future in this for me...

I think I fit it all in 'cos I'm stupid... lol... from time to time things do clash and then something has to give..
most often it's my sanity..

I can't wait for your CD to be released... I remember listening to The Rape... awhile ago and I was pretty impressed... What I liked about it the most was the fact that it's not like most of the music these days ... how should I say this ... Bands these days want to captivate the listener in the first few seconds, so they have to deliver right from the beginning - and I guess that's how the record companies want it too so when that 16 year old kid puts on the headphones at the listening boot at HMV, he's gonna hear exactly what he wants to hear. OK , I'm exagerating, but you know what I mean.

I only started to "get" the "Rape" when it was almost near the end... First I thought the intro was too long, but after, I realized that it needed to be for what was to follow... that song is modally very strong, and that's the key.

I'm sure your CD will be magnificent, far more interesting than a couple from Favored Nations that I have listened to.

slanshroom, Thanks for listening, and for liking my cut Kalf. The next tune, Amex is a harder deeper groove than Kalf which is kinda psychadelic & laid back!
