    Well, I'm a non-guitar player, but I must admit - I'm enjoying this thread.
    I must need a nap or something.

    > Anyhoo, the speed of a player
    >is no good if the passage just sucks Hanson through a straw. My point?
    >I dunno. But I do know that I feel a TON more emotion out of Satriani's
    >solos than I do with Micheal Romeo's.

    My impression has always been (in an abstract sense): There is a minimum
    time period in music during which emotion can be imparted to a note. I
    don't know exactly what the duration is, but if you put more than one note
    into that duration, then you are essentially "splitting" the emotional
    impact over the multiple notes, and dulling their impact. Watch guitarists
    live sometime. Generally, when they are shredding, they are looking at the
    guitar or looking at the audience, but generally, they don't look like
    they're "feeling" the music, just playing it. But watch that same player
    when he gets to the legato passage in that shred solo, and you'll see
    emotion begin to ooze out. (I know it's a generalization, but it's been
    true for almost every band I've seen).

    I first heard Yngwie when the song "Rising Force" was played on a local
    metal show. At the time, I was blown away. I had (at that time) *never*
    heard anyone play guitar like that - not that fast, anyway. I was so
    impressed, I bought the tape. I recently put that tape in for the first
    time in a few years, and it didn't sound the same somehow. I don't know if
    it's because my musical tastes have changed, or because I've been exposed
    to so much more good music lately, or some combination of factors. But
    frankly, I've never heard much "emotion" in YM's solos, and I think it's
    because of the time efeect I mentioned above.

    Is it just me, or is this `the faster guitarrist, the better=B4-discussion
    really out of the line? Well, what do i know, i've only been subscribed
    to this list five days, and already i've seen so much Yngwie-bashing --
    hang on, here i go!

    Anyway, a few years back on a music high-school concert (Sibelius-lukio
    for all Finnish y'jammers), there were these two humourist guys who just
    wanted to put an end to the discussion on who was the fastest guitarrist.=
    =20
    They played a rememberable solo (well, duo) with two guitars and picks
    attatched to Braun D3 electric toothbrushes.=20

    Now *that* was fast (screw Yngwie ;)

    Yo All.

    This might be old news for some people here, but to me it was very NEW news.

    Here in Tampa we had the annual Guitar show this weekend. Though it wasn't
    as filled with top names as previous years (I've only been here for over a
    year so I only saw last year's, and this one was small compared to that). We
    had Vernom Reid, Gary Hoey and Frank Gambale, plus Dave LaRue and Billy
    Sheehan among factory clinicians, so it still was pretty cool.

    But the most important news follow now.

    During Billy Sheehan's clinic, he mentioned that he just finished a
    recording with Terry Bozzio and "some members of Dream Theater". I asked him
    later on for more details, and what I got from him is that he was in the
    studio by himself cutting the bass tracks, so he doesn't exactly know who
    the DT members are. I asked, is it John Petrucci and Derek Sherinian? He
    said he doesn't know. That tells us a bit about how those projects come
    about, but it is still very cool to know what there's more stuff coming
    ahead... and I didn't even get my LTE yet...

    Other news for Sheehan fans: he also finished the 2nd Niacin CD, which will
    have a song and a special guest participation by the master of jazz himself,
    Chick Corea. Raaaaahhh this year is gonna rock :-)

    Later all.

    This presentation has been brought to you by KillMary, who reminds you to
    kill Mary and get the Priest as well.

    Christian.

    For those jammers in Atlanta, what station is Rockline usually on, if at
    all? Satriani is on tonight. I have only
    live here seven months and have yet to turn on the radio, so I have no
    clue. Any info would be much appreciated. Take the time.

    To all you guys who know how,
         I've got absolutely no experience with the technique, though I'm
    quite advanced in alternate picking and sweeping. I'd like to start out
    with easy stuff and work up to the crazy shit. Who should I start with if
    I wanted to learn some 8-finger stuff? Do me a favor and CC me a message
    at mattb@mbay.net if you respond to the jam. Tacek, since we'ver heard
    about your two-handed talent, I'm expecting stuff from you. Be well.
    Matt B
    P.S. I think my biggest technical problem is tensing up my left hand too
    much. My right is fine. Perhaps if we all masterbate with alternate
    hands, we'll solve all the problems we have. Practice! Practice!
    Practice! Yet another reason why all our significant others will hate our
    axes!

    Oh yeah, I got more news.

    Concept has split up. Bummer. I love the band, I thought Flow was a kickass
    CD, the other CDs were cool as hell too. Good songwriters. Singer Khan is
    here in Tampa now working with "troll-rock band" (I won't say who said that,
    you guys wouldn't believe it) Kamelot. Yup. Khan's Kamelot new singer - if
    you don't believe me go to www.kamelot.com. I'll keep my comments on that to
    my closer friends. >:)

    Finally, Gordian Knot should start recording in April. For those who don't
    know, it's Sean Malone's second solo album that now has a band name,
    featuring Sean Reinert, Trey Gunn (King Crimson), Ron Jarzombek (Watchtower)
    and special guests John Myung (what's his band again?) and Frank Snelwar
    (Ever), among possible others...

    As for Sean's other project Ever, it is on a hiatus and will stay that way
    until Gordian Knot comes out...

    This news broadcast has been brought you by KillMary, who reminds you that
    Ptacek is NOT spelled D-i-n-o- -K-h-o-e, and is NOT pronounced "Ing-Vay".

    Greetings ye 'jamanoids...

    Terminal speed? Hmm....

    [Cut to interior scene. Three guitarists are sitting in a circle with
    their axes handy. A stereo sits nearby.]

    Shred Freak 1: Hey, check this out, this guy's fast. (Plays Jennifer
    Batten CD with "Whammy Damage" on it).

    Shred Freak 3: Dude, that's a girl. You think a *girl's* fast?
    Hahahahahaha!

    SF 1: Shut up! *smack* Chops, man! She can play! Listen to that speed!
    Listen to the octodigital tapping!

    Shred Freak 2: Get a life. *This* guy can really shred....(Plays Symphony
    X's "Divine Wings of Tragedy").

    SF 1: Dude! Sweep picking! High-speed harmonics! Pure shred, man!

    SF 3: Yeah, whatever. Check out *this* guy -- try and play along with
    this. (Plays MICHAEL.ANGELO 's solo CD).

    SF 2: Whoa! Blurred fingers! Melting picks! Screaming strings! We have
    reached "Shredvana!"

    SF 1: We can do that! (Starts some high-speed flurries on his axe).

    SF 3: Yeah! (Begins a chromatic run at 200 BPM, sweep-picking like a
    demon).

    SF 2: You think *that's* fast? Ha! I am the Speed King! (Starts a blurring
    alternate picked run, fingers dancing over the strings effortlessly. The
    other two axeslingers struggle to keep up with him, striking sour notes
    and muffing position changes).

    SF 1: Must....keep.....control! Fingers....not responding!!!

    SF 3: Aahhh! Have to.....keep up.....I....am superior....

    SF 2: Hah! You pansies! (Shifts into overdrive and his fingers disappear
    completely, the strings appearing to move by themselves).

    SF 3: No! Losing.....cohesion! Muscles.....overloading!

    SF 1: Brain....melting! Reaching.....terminal speed!!!

    (Smoke begins rising from the fretboards. The picks clenched frantically
    in the hands of Shred Freak 1 and 3 are beginning to chip and fragment.
    Both of them are straining, teeth clenched, sweat standing out on their
    foreheads).

    SF 2: Terminal velocity, up ahead! (Begins laughing demonically as the
    speed of the notes shrieking from his axe zooms upward yet another notch).

    SF 3, 1: Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!! (Their fretboard hands, spasming madly,
    suddenly lock up completely. Picks snap in two, strings part with horrid
    shrieking sounds, and they both fly backward as their guitars explode).

    The second guitarist sneers, ending his shredfest with a blinding
    ten-finger-and-teeth chromatic tapped run, then pulls off a mask,
    revealing himself to be Joe Stump.

    Stump: Young fools. Only now, at the end, do they understand. (He
    stretches out a hand and rips off a flesh-colored glove. Circuitry
    sparkles on the surface of his totally mechanical fingers. He grins, and
    begins to laugh again).

    [Fade to black.]

    Terminal speed. Dig it. :)

    I may only be a mediocre guitarist, but I gotta say I'm getting a huge
    kick out of these guitar threads. Let's get the keyboardists out there
    into this too -- what've you folk got to say?

    Ta,

    Hey there!

    I'll try not to mention any guitarists, especially not Yngwie, so I can get
    away with no flames :-)

    I noticed my good friend, Simon, already did a review so I'll try to make
    it short :-)
    I also got a bit late to the show, since I watched Simon play with his
    band, and missed like 10-15 minutes of the Vanden Plas show. I believe DT
    got on stage about 9.45, and they started off with A Crack In The Mirror
    into Take The Time. I was expecting the show to start with Lines, as almost
    all their other shows have done. Anyways, it was cool to hear such a
    classic DT tune :-)
    Then Myung picked up the Stick (I got a kick out of that ;-), and they
    played NM. I was freaking out since it's my 2nd fave off of FII. Then
    directly into my 2nd fave song off Awake, Voices. They also did Lie, PS,
    AL, HY, YJ, ToT (the highlight for me) and PMU. I think that was it... They
    ended the show with playing parts of Met, LtL and The Crimson Sunset all
    mixed into one song. Very nice.
    The coolest thing was that I and some friends got to meet the bandmembers
    (except Petrucci, noone knows how the hell he got out of the building ;-)
    outside after the show. It was a dream come true to talk to them, and all
    of them acted very friendly and signed everything. Mike even noticed I was
    wearing the Ytsejam T-shirt. He still reads the jam, and he told me to send
    greetings and do a review. :-)

    All in all, a great show!

            Since you didn't add "except that bastard Jeff Falk" to the

            I don't play an Ibanez. I've got a Richie Sambora signature model
    Strat (yes, I'm a real nerd). I also have an Epiphone acoustic and a
    neglected Squier Strat.

    "Why do you have to call me Shred Freak number 2? It sounds so

    My philosophy on developing speed? Scales and metronomes. Whips and
    chains. And lots of Josta. Watching the Petrucci video over and over
    helps too. Oh, btw...does anybody recommend any other "instructional"
    videos? Petrucci's has been, of the few I've seen/own, by far the best
    for any guitarist lookin' to improve his/her/its chops.

    Oh yeah, and HAVE FUN GOD DAMMIT!

    To continue with the 'annoying to keyboardists and drummers' guitar thred,
    just a question about Dunlop Jazz IIIs. Are they metal or plastic, and if
    they're plastic, how thick are they, and how much give is there?

    This is just because I live in England, and anything that isn't used by
    those Oasis twats, you can't get a hold of.

    I currently use a stainless steel Dunlop Teckpick, which obviously has no
    give, and does me fine (ie. It doesn't give me missed notes when I'm over
    200 bpm).

    Just wondering anyway, thanks in advance.

    And an addition to the economy picking thread: I've always played linear
    runs with alternate picking. Any sweeping is done when I'm actually sweep
    picking. Yeah, okay, it does take a while for that speed to increase, and
    that 'running round the car to shut the door' thing to pull tight, but you
    never lose it once you get it, as long as you practice. But then, if your
    economy picking sounds as good as the next guy's alternate picking, why
    change?

    I don't think it is possible to list the ten albums that would be in our CD players if there was no DT. After thinking about it a little more, I came to some bigtime conclusions. If there was no DT, life as we know it, would cease to exist. If there was no DT, then the bands that influenced DT must not have existed either. Cause if they did, DT would have been influenced and therefore created. For all we know, this DTless world (mad and insane as it might be) might not even have CDs. They could still be stuck listening to 8-track. And we all know that you can't listen to DT on 8-track. I think that I have finally lost my fuckin mind!

    My brain is fried, I need some shade! later

    Hello everyone, and in particular, James, I agree totally with your letter to "eMpTyV" and I remember a time (My pale virgin mind..watched the crimson sunrise....(Sorry, that happens sometimes..)) when I chatted to some Americans and I said "Ha! We still have Headbangers Ball here in the UK and you don't!!!" and they said "It was great until they put Into The Pit on it!" then they shut it down completely. Anyway, the same eventually happened to Headbanger's Ball over here too and now there's MTV UK and MTV Europe as two separate things, and they NEVER play anything good (let alone DT!!!) on H'sB replacement show "SuperRock" because it's a load of bollocks. I envy the Europeans (Aren't I European living in England???) if they have Headbanger's Ball and MTV UK doesn't.... Some statistics: I know long-hair isn't necessarily a sure sign of a Rock fan but out of 120 first year Design students I'm the ONLY male with long hair! Can you believe that!!!!!????? Also, out of 160 students living in the accommodation where I live there's only TWO others who long hair. What has the world come to??? Chris "Insania" Parnham ICQ#: 5714076

    When autumn leaves are falling, When twilight's here at last, When time seems never ending, When present turns to past, When hopes are all we live for, When eyes are closed at night, When happiness forever is When dream and day unite.....
