Slansh - I keep listening to Blue Bossa..... every time I listen to it, it makes me smile... lol...

it's growing on my more and more.....
been checking out the rest of your tracks... really really nice.... some superb ideas... I really love the Hungarian Bach thing.... I used to play that prelude in an old band... my bassist used to play the left hand part... it was sort of a cover of an amazing track by Jeff Berlin....

anyways... back to da Blue Boss..
I imagine guys saying stuff like

"dude... check this track out... and these guys are playing at like 65 bpm... it's amazing...."

--- "65 bpm??... that's like way slow dude... I practice at 220.."

"dude... not playing hemi-demi-semi-squiddly-iddly- mashy-gashy-quavers you don't"

Clarky, listening to Slansh I cringe when thinking bout what his day job could potentially do to his magic hands!!!!!

tmckissick1, not sure if you got the answer you were after yet...

The idea of most reverb/echo/etc effects in general are to reproduce some setting (or an artificial ambience) to you guitar amp OUTPUT. a simple example is an echo. This is meant to take the sound of your distorted (or clean) output and make it sound like you are in a tunnel or on the edge of the grand canyon. so it needs to be AFTER the preamp(which provides the distortion) and before the power amp (that is what the effects loop provides, a place to sit between the two.

However, some other effects (such as WAH) are generally better in front of the preamp to effect the tone of the note(s) prior to entering the preamp and becoming distorted. These are usually plugged in between the guitar and amp.

Lastly, distortion effects are typically a replacement for the preamp overdrive (or distortion channel) and typically are used between the guitar and the clean channel.

So if you have a multi-effects unit, you may want to experiment with using it in the loop, although the distortion effects may not work as well. or use it before the amp.

did anyone watch the wife swap the other night...with the gay couple and the African American woman? The AA woman was so out of line and rude and disrespectful, of all people in the world who has had to deal with being discriminated against, and to claim to be a Christian woman...she should be ashamed of herself for how she treated the Gay couple. so there...lol..

999...hmmmmm....

XtrChessReal, Conan rules! I think the hip dance he does then cuts the strings is hysterical. I think he's one of the funniest guys on t.v. - and that hair! lol!

Stevee T! Yeah!! Everything fine in Russia. Two days ago I thought that I will never log in T2J, because I almost kill myself when I fell from this damned snowboard. But I'm well now. And now I'll better play my sax. LoL

LucySorets thanx for those links - the photos were great!

estrela hi :) how are you & felix doing?

jazzzzzzzy congrats on your 1yr on the T2J forum :) i think i first came to this site in 1998 and for a while i posted on the board (under the nick ILOVEDeNiro) but then after a while i got kinda dispondant, as i realized Joe would never come to AUstralia & i'd never see him live :_(

since the tour of Oz was announced i've had an extra bounce!* in my hop & have posted in here everynow & then :)

Hey peeps, we finally got a final diagnosis on my pop. The third and hopefully final mystery ailment that's making him swell and be in so much pain is - drum roll please - Lyme disease.

Sax player...watch out for that tree!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just practicing & writing new songs....love it!

True story,

I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering me, very much indeed, and that one thing was her younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight mini skirts and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when near me and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else. One day little sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived. She whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome and didn't really want to overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it just come up and get me." I was stunned. I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top she pulled down her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house. I walked straight towards my car. My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.

"The moral of this story is:"

Esterela- How are You doing? I hope well! Thank You for the awesome word's! I really used that as good Medicine! I Thank ever so much! I am hoping thing's are well with you, And Your new Job. I am sure it will be a neat new challenge. I wish you Much sucess, and Joy in it! Alway's You have My best regard's, and warm well wishes! Also as alway's. You are in My Prayer's. I haope you Have a nice day today!..............................962- Hey bro' How are You? I am sure glad to hear that you have Your new system! I think that's incredibly awesome! I know You will get A lot of great use out of it, and Many great writing inspiration's will come out of it! Get this, I had A dream the other night, That You and I were actually playing togetther! I am pretty sure it looked like the shoreline ampitheatre? werid eh? I don't even know what You look like!LOL Dream's are funny! anyway Hope You have a wonderful Day! take care...............................ZENFISH- I was pretty ill, so I don't know if you answered Me on the sucess of the new drummer for the band. But, I hope it went well. I have been missing a lot of post's? :-( Ya' know. I have found out-The Blues, is something You have a feel for or Not. It is so diverse, But yet all the same! I suppose because everbody's Blues is different. And the way it comes across, from artist to artist. Robben Ford dose not remind me of SRV, and via versa. I feel, and have been told Now. That I have what it takes to be a real "bluesy Blues Player" If I chose to. And the Speedmetal knowledge That i have would only add spice, and not "harm" the genre. Like I at first thought. So after 2 year's of playing. I have learned, It seems that I find I like practically all styles(execpt rap, and hip-hop.) pretty much equally!..................................BAHDUHU- Yes, I was so happy when they E-mailed Me, and said they DID, Have a copy, and that it would be shipped that day! So hopefully you will recieve it farily soon! I hope You are well, and Say Hi, to the Folk's, and Stuff for Me! Also, Thank's for the greting card's! They Mean A Lot! I will write You later!...............................MICHELLE- How are You? hey Sorry Bout' Your team! I was rooting for them to, On acount I dislike the other team. Ever since My Dolphin's failed Me, In their clumsy attempts at the Bowl-making the play-off's and then just woofing! And My secondary team, My hometeam, the Raider's, Have doing weridly ever since they moved to, and from LA! Oh well. Anyhow it is over! SO, I hope this day is going pretty pleasesnt for you, and Your's!.................................Hoiguy79- Hi My freind, How are you? Hope all is well! and Kepp writing the cool tunes!..............................DCK- Mark, Hope your doing okay today. Your in My thought's, and Prayer's! Talke care My Freind!..................................MARIMARI- Good to see You! Yes, it sure sound's like You had a wild, and wonderful adventure at NAMM! I am glad You had A great time. Gee, All the Cool folk's, You saw! Joe, Steve, Malmsteen. just great! I sure hopefully maybe one day Go check out NAMM! How really neat! Anyway, Great to hear the story, and thank's for sharing!
