Cube.ca - Cool man, thanks for the cd recommendation. That fuze guy has a cool guitar... and becareful with NyQuill in the morning. I took a couple one time and tried to stay up a few years ago... I think I was rambling on about fish and the importance of seaweed for a few hours, lol.
Ovation - thanks bro! hehe, all your licks belong to us... good one! And lol your right... we are lucky to have Jon as a moderator. Can you imagine if Yngwie had his job?! We'd be outta here in a couple hours, lmao! The warning emails would have a "Your this close to unleashing the..." in it, lol.
Michelle - Oh shoot... I sent your hat to Granola instead! sorry ;-)...
Matt Martinez - no worries man... may I recommend the album Between the Lines by Mike Stern? Ovation recommended it to me and now it's one of my favorites... check it out if you can.
Yoda - Good tunes mate...

effie, I hurt my thumb trying to apply pressure on a bar chord,
which makes it pretty much impossible to play, I've been considering turning the guitar around and learning again only this time lefty, just need to get around gripping the pick, my thumb goes numb and starts to hurt. so try lefty.

maritime - If Joe sand Steve end up doing that gig in Holland, I'm sure they'll do a full European tour.
JS JS - This has been bugging me for a while. Why do you have computers in your music classroom?
Joeman9 - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a repetitive stress injury. If your hands perform the same motion over and over again for an extended period of time (playing guitar, using a computer / typing, etc.), you can pinch a nerve in your wrist. It's not good. ;-)

I have been wondering the same thing with about half the people in here... how is it that you are able to surf the net and mess around on the computer all day if you are in school? When I go to school, I am in school, and thats all there is to it...
Hope all in Satchland have a good afternoon....

JS_JS I only get three days I was wrong. Our day yesterday was a half becuase of our math test. Then we all went to history and watched a movie for the rest of the day.
I'm such a guitar retard... I took out all my strings and put the new ones on. I forgot about the bridge collapsing. ARGH!
I wish I had a Trembolt now. (This is a real tesimonial=-)
You're welcome Zachary=-)

NSPike: I have a bad horsie pedal. It's ok. The whole reason I bought it was for the "Switchless" capabilities, and alot of the time, it doesn't switch off or on very accurately, so I end up using my other didgitech whammy/wah instead.

Stu Clone- Sounds like you are one of the lucky ones... all your classes are in the same building? I am always scurrying across campus, where it happens to be freezing, with my 15 minutes to make it to the next class... lol...
Hope all in Satchland have a good, warm, afternoon/evening....

juju,
not really
a LOT of my stuff is in the music building though :)
M/W/F I've got class all over campus from 8-11, and a class at 2... music stuff/activities from 5-7,
T/T, only one or two classes (1 hour each), w/ a wide spread, and activities from like 4-9.
gives me plenty of time to mess around and kick back though.
