fret goblin - how did you find out that you're the best?
did you have a race in Em, three octaves and back...???
Yoda - the reason that I don't belong to that school of thought is two reasons...
firstly: the 4th remains available for suspension
secondly: the notes of the chord stack in 3rds... this being the case you'd chose 11 instead of 4.. this leaves 2, 4 and 6 available for suspensions, aug6 family chords etc... which should mean less confusion..
962 - yup.. I totally know what you mean.. the arm on my Floyd can be fixed, loose or made to swing... it's the nuts.. the next replacement bridge I get will definately be a real Floyd.. the Edge is nice in all respects but for the stupid arm bushes.. I've not had time to mess with it yet as I'm still sorting out the backing track to 21st Century for David.. when I get to cut the guitar solo I'll start messing with the bridge...
in fact, thinking about it, why not cut the solo on Pride [my Strat]....
Phryg - maybe at that moment I had aspell of phantom drunkness...
on the Bm11 thing.. I agree that the 5th and 9th or optional.. but that's only when voicing the chord on an instrument... when spelling the chord all notes must be there...
when it comes to leaving notes out, personally I'd leave out the 5th first.. and then the 3rd [because the tonality of the music will generally imply the 3rd].. so root, 7th, 9th, 11th..would work
Yoda / Phryg - sharpening the 11th makes it a different chord [Bm9 #11] which is resolved from a different scale...
Yoda is right here.. B Lyd gives you a D#[III] and an A#[VII] which will clash against the D[minor 3rd] and A[minor 7th] of the Bm9 add#11
Yoda.. top marks for correct usage of music terminology 'pretty fucking ugly'.. 'cos that's what I reckon
Phryg - now I can't even count from 9 all the way up to 11 and it wasn't even beer o'clock.. so who am I to talk... lol
kell - compound radius?? explain.. this is interesting..
sugarbear - sorry bro but it does matter.. because if you get this wrong you'll be playing what's in your heart... but you'll also be playing out of tune..
Stu M - John sings Exiles...
Do the Stu - your explanation goes to reinforce the old saying the a bassist is a drummer that graduated [but only just]... lol

john petrucci got on stage. That would have been a nice suprise. Although i thought paul gilbert was meant to be joining them onstage in New York.
The DT album is very good btw. Well worth the v.expensive price tag.

crispin and jelly I'm not interested in TOT right now because
a) I'm 7 weeks through a 12 week period in which I swore myself off buying cds.
b) I'm not a metal guy, really.
c) IMO the glass prison is quite possible DTs worst song ever, and I don't really like how they seem to think of themselves as more of a heavy metal band now.

climber That Sears amp thing isn't funny man.......I am currently playing through a 100Watt Craftsman amplifier, 3 channells with spring reverb. Tube switchable with EL and AX's. It'll bridge also 1 channell to 300W.

Matt, happy pre-250! lol!
Steevlan1, some guy gave me a pick, so I gave another guy my 2nd pick. Hopefully that guy did something nice for somebody else that night :) Random kindness is underrated.
Petrucci in NY - aww man, I would have loved to see that!
Lyz, I feel for ya girl! Hope there's a way to get it back before Christmas *fingers crossed*
anuj, that amazes me. Sheehan is such a killer bass player! I would think he would know volumes of theory.
RUSEL, "We actually drove from Halifax Nova Scotia which was in total trip miles 2734 to see the G3." WHOA!!!! You win the prize for most dedicated fan!! Hope you had some soup along the way! lol!
Invigor, nice pictures! RICH, ya look better with hair bro ;-)

kevt03 Will you buy it at Record Collector? I would ask you to say hi but I think the person who knows my name is in Cambridge at the moment.
Hey guys, check out the Dream Theater site - is it slow or is it slow? Those guys must be fantastically busy right now.
remember Remembrance day Stop for a minute to think of all the people who have died or been paralysed trying to protect the free world.

Invigor Nice pics man, you looked stoked fer sure ;-)
Michelle If my memory serves me correctly BS started playing clubs young in different bands playing covers in different styles and he worked long and hard. You can read all the theory in the world but if you ain't playing you ain't connecting with the instrument- its all about the vibe ! (ask Clarky - rofl) No substitute for 'neck time' ;-)

Hmm, I'm still not too sure about the BS thing. I mean, it must have taken me all of 5 minutes to learn to read tab. People who say "I can't read any form of music at all", I think, "Have you been trying extra extra hard to keep yourself pure or something, because I don't see any other way you could have avoided it. Do you view notation as an evil or something?"

ovation - the Samauri top knot is cool... but I refuse to grow the giant forehead and wear whie socks with lil' cloggy things and giant pants.. I know really why those guys are so increadibly tough... they have that hair cut and wear the giant pants... they get some serious shit from their mates and have to fight them... the hair cut and pants means that they get a shit lot of practice.. yoi!!... kumite!!... lmao..
although personally I'd be saying "nice pants dude... no I really mean it.. dude you can stop with all the hittin' and shit 'cos I really do like the pants no lie bro.. wow $50 in Big Al's Giant Pants Store.. cool deal man.. no I don't think I'd be getting any 'cos I er don't er have the spare cash.. yeah that's it.. like er no spare cash.. no thanks bro you're just way too kind.. no I'm sure I'm sure bro.. dude keep the cash and get your lady something nice with it.. please I insist.. dude no really you don't need to buy me a pair.. they look great on yer but they're just not my kind of thing.. I'm sure they'd just make my butt look big.. no it's ok you don't need to get me a pair.. no it's not that I don't like them.. no seriously you look great in them... c'mon bro I'm not taking the piss no lie man.. shit dude will you quit with the hittin' and shit... not the sword man.. jeez bro did you have to do that 'cos that makes blood come out"
and so on and so forth.. lol
Zanth - tabs in Newcastle cost around £4.00 per pack of 20.. the best place to get get them in Europe would be Belgium or Spain.. less than half the price..

About the tab thing... He probably could read tab, but really... why would you want to. Awhile back I got an email from Andy Timmons, and he gave me some good advice. "Use your ears, not tab!" lol... I kinda wish I didn't have the option of tab in the beginning. Figuring stuff out by ear is more rewarding and makes you a better musician in my opinion. Though I'm not the best at it, I still try and work stuff out, or at least attempt to, by ear.
And we all know who has the best ears... cause Homer Simpson can "hear pudding" ;)...
And as for Dream Theater... I haven't heard the new album yet, but... more stuff like Peruvian Skies and I'm happy! That tune is awesome.

mick 87 - I can read music notation and there are definately serious advantages... if I have an idea and I'm no where neer a guitar I can just score it out so I don't forget .. then I can look at it later and see if it was as good as I thought.. lol
when working out other peoples riffs and solos I do that by ear... it's just so good for you to do this.. you're ear just gets better and better the more you do of it..
however, another form of good medicine is to sit down with a lute suite by JS Bach and sight read it...
reading means that you can analyse a score of a piece of music and find out what makes it tick - can be very useful.. especially if you are into writing music...
I'm not a big fan of tab...
and 'cos I've not needed to do it for quite some time... my sight reading seriously sux right now... but it's just like falling off a bike...
