    Having only been in Atlanta for seven months and ignoring the radio
    stations, I was wondering if someone could tell me what station Rockline
    would be on if a station carried it. Satriani is supposed to be on
    tonight. Let me know, take the time.

    Stephen Dedalus <mattb@mbay.net> asked about who to listen to for 8 finger
    tapping. I don't know if you are truly a beginner, but the first exercise I
    started (and still play today) is below. It uses every finger, but isn't
    super difficult. The hardest part is controlling open strings from ringing.
    Although it sounds like an exercise, if you play it really fast, it still
    sounds like an exercise. Here it is on the starting high pitched E string:

        (4) 4 (3) 3 (2) 2 (1) 1
    |---15--8--13--6--14--7--12--5--| continue pattern up and down set up strings
    (as in go to the B string, then the G string, etc. etc.)

    the (#)'s mean right hand (if you play right handed). This is a really good
    starter exercise because of the mirror imaging with the hands. And just like
    the 1-2-3-4 picking exercises, it can mutate into just about anything you are
    working on.

    God, the technique talk is great, but perhaps somebody should start up
    technique@ax.com (or is there already such a place) so we can keep it
    separated from the people who don't enjoy this stuff. We could go on
    endlessly and aimlessly on which player is the most exciting, but straight
    technique should be pretty tension free.

    I've gotta disagree here. . . emotion is a tool which you can use to shape
    your performance, to imbue it with power. But the 'emotion' here is
    actually a huge range of feelings... you can use your anger in a raging
    passage (my favorite), your depression in a slow passage, your
    indifference in a blase passage, etc... you can't really generalize
    emotion to label someone when he's 'feeling' it or not... I've
    experienced (once) a sort of guitar orgasm, where I was playing so
    incredibly, so far beyond my ability, that It was like a climax (with no
    messy clean up afterwards). And I acheieved it through a cmbination of
    shred, tapping, chords, legato, slow vibrato, all other kinds of
    techniques. It was simply the most intense feeling I think I've ever felt
    (well, love aside I guess), and it's what I strive for every time I play,
    although I've never quite gotten there again...
            A big key in it is the physical side of playing... we tend to
    ignore sometimes the feelings in our hands when we abuse the fingerboard.
    But the point is, when we play, we exert ourselves physically, and that
    physiucality is a conduit for our emotion. It's like sprinting. There
    comes a point when you think you can't take it any further, and then you
    do, and it's incredible. If I've been playing an intense passage, and my
    hands are burning from the effort, and I think that it's going to kill me
    if I don't stop, but I keep it going, and burn a solo into the ground,
    that is an intense emotional feeling. When you strive for something you
    think is beyond your reach, then attain it. . . well, I think I've lost
    the thread (and most readers). . .

    Oh yeah. . I'm back. Kinda... I'm having the hardest time dealing with 90
    jams in my inbox. . but I'm back trying to read em... And how fitting for
    me to come back and respond to something that has absolutely nothing to do
    with DT. . oh well. ..

            I used to believe this philosophy as well, but then I searched for,
    and believe I have found, a paradigm counterexample. Listen to
    "For The Love of God" by Steve Vai (I chose this because most of you
    have or have access to Passion and Warfare). The song is obviously
    filled with soul and emotion, as well as technical control. As you
    listen, watch the timer on your cd player, and note the time that you
    think the song is climaxing emotionally. While this song just drips
    emotion like a Philly Cheesesteak drips phunk, the climax occurs, if
    you ask me, during a fast run. (3:50 - 4:17 with an aftershock
    around 4:30)
            If splitting the notes into subdivisions impacts upon the
    emotional value, then how can the most emotioonal part of this song (and
    many others) occur during a shred passage? The answer is simple. The
    emotion is not from any particular technique or tempo. It's from the
    phrase that's being played.
            The tendency is, more often than not, for people who can't play at a
    particular level to knock the guy who can, in any way they can. Eckie
    didn't really do this (though I disagree with his statement about M.
    Romeo) but a lot of people do. MICHAEL.ANGELO's response is: "I've
    never heard anybody who can play fast say 'Dude! Speed Sucks!!!'"
    which is amusing, if you consider that he's one of the guys just now
    recovering his soul after long years of "Shred for Shred's Sake"
    abuse.
            What makes something emotional, or soulful in guitar passages is
    how well the guitar is being used as a communicative medium. Usually,
    the song will dictate what should be played, whether that's fast or
    slow. Whether or not the playing is appreciated for its soul and
    emotion is another issue, though.
              The emotional appeal in music is at the very core of its
    inherent subjectivity. As such, one can study what about a
    particular passage makes it sound emotional to oneself, but can never
    judge for the next guy. There just happen to be coincidental
    agreements between players and fans, about particular players, like
    Vai, Satch, Johnson, Becker, etc...

            This is called Impact. It features Bozzio, Petrucci, Sheehan,
    Guillory, and Sherinian, if my memory serves me. Look for it this
    summer (I think it's done, but Magna Carta doesn't want to release
    too many cds with the same players on em all at the same time).

            Well, the basic concept is to apply everything you do with your left
    hand (on the guitar, you perv) to your right hand tapping technique.
    Obviously, what you want to practice is legato techniques. Anything
    you can do to increase finger individuality is helpful. I'm going to
    have some stuff on my web page to detail this for people when i get a
    chance, because it's too hard to explain in just text.
       - Things to remember:
            1). Always pull off the notes with your right hand... that is to
    say, never "push off" the notes. For instance, a pull off with your
    middle finger would not be an obscene gesture... you bring your
    finger towards your palm (though not that dramatically).
            2). Brace your right hand on your neck with your thumb. If you
    anchor your thumb, you have more leverage. There are times when you
    need to break the anchor, when you're moving around a lot, but it's
    helpful to practice with the thumb touching the top of the fretboard
    (conducive to better technique)
            3). Don't feel like you always have to use all 4 fingers on each
    hand in a tapping lick. The reason some people like "Octodigital
    Technique" rather than 8 finger tapping, is that 8 finger tapping
    implies that every finger is in use in every lick... which is stupid.
    The most effective sounding tapped licks are often played with 2
    fingers per hand (that's the best way to approach tapping 7th
    arpeggios, for example). When you play regular legato, you probably
    rarely use all 4 fingers on your left hand on each string, without
    changing position. This applies for tapping as well. Of course, one
    of the best exercises you can do for tapping is just the chromatic
    scale, which means you WOULD use all 8 fingers. I like to play with
    arpeggios, pentatonics, and an inverted mode concept I came up with
    when I tap. But I'm not nearly as good at this stuff as you might
    think.
            4). Where are you going to put your pick? Toss it, hold it in your
    mouth, or, like I usually do, hold it in your right middle finger,
    and do your tapping with the other 3.
            5). MUTE! You must mute the strings, or they will ring out and
    drive you crazy! You can do one of two things: Cheat, and use a
    muting device (either a hair tie, or a piece of cloth, or an actual
    fret dampener like Batten) or go legit, like T.J. Helmerich (my
    favorite of the 3 GIT 8 finger masters I know of) and Jeff Watson.
    To do this, you just have to be mindful of the digits that aren't in
    use, so you can move them quickly to mute a string before it rings
    out. This comes as naturally as it does with regular legato... if
    you're conscious of the strings ringing out, you'll be able to
    develop a method to mute.

    > stuff from you.

            See, this ain't fair. Bafu said I am some kind of tapping whiz, and
    now I'm responsible for playing at some level I haven't even achieved
    yet. :) Well... in case anyone is wondering, Bafu is a master
    architect, electrician, and plumber. If you have ANY problems with
    any of these areas (leaky faucets, broken cd players... need a high
    rise apartment drafted and designed by next Thursday), just drop him
    a letter, and tell him I sent you.

            I use Fender Extra Heavy picks. I like a full size pick, with only
    a LITTLE bit of give. I don't like the complete rigidity of a metal
    pick, or the sound it makes against the strings, and I hate little
    picks. There's no purpose for em! The best pick I've ever found is
    unfortunately my Michael Wilton guitar pick, which is more rigid than
    an Extra Heavy, while being physically thinner... it's the perfect
    pick material. Obviously I can't use this pick, though, and can't
    find a way to get the same pick without having to steal a gross from
    him.

    Everyone has been so busy bashing people that want good money for boots
    they're selling, that I thought I would back Glenn up on his pursuit to sell
    LitS. This boot kicks ass, and it's worth the 50 bucks -- or more. The
    packaging is top notch - in the long-box shape, with one disc stored above the
    other. A 10 page (or so - I'm at school, and I don't have LitS in front of
    me) booklet with all sorts of snazzy pictures. And the performance is great.
    (Then again, you knew that, because the set list features TLF, albeit without
    the harmonies.)

    If you have the money, get this.

    Yes, except I think the full title is The Age of Impact, which will be
    released in June, hopefully.

    <Dr.Mosh-Mode>
    I was at a party this past weekend with Matt Guillory who
    happened to have an advance copy of Liquid Tension Experiment he played
    for us, and if I remember correctly he told me "Yeah, Age of Impact is
    heavier than this. I think you'll like it."

    ]From the man himself: Nobody has approached him yet for either position. He said Dave Lee Roth just went off and started saying stuff without having ever talked to him. He also said as of now he has no plans of playing with Van Halen, but he added that Eddie is an excelent guitar player he'd like to play with. So basically these are rumours like the one about Nuno playing with= Queensr=FFche.

    When asked about other rock bass players, he said Doug Pinnick of King's X kicks ass :-)

    Oh I'm sorry, I forgot this list was created just for you!!!! I know there's people in here who would like to know if there is a project with members of DT going on.

    Oh, and for the instruments thread... I'm a bass player who plays a Yamaha 6-string :-) Most guitar players here play Ibanez, but I bet there aren't that many Yamaha bass players here... I didn't get the bass because of JM though - I really think that Yamaha makes kickass basses. I also have a Neuser 5-string that I strung C-G-D-A-D rather than G-D-A-E-B as it originally came as.

    someone mention dunlop jazz iii's? i love em. not just that.....

    i swear by them. that's the only thing i'll ever play with, really.

    got the idea to do so by reading about vernon reid playing with those. he even claimed that there was a slight difference in guitar tone with the black and red picks. i believe he said the red picks give you a glassier sound (forgot what he said about the black ones). i don't exactly subscribe to that point of view, but i still fell in love with them, anyways...

    koba, wild.

    Yes, to be more precise, that would be AGE OF IMPACT... written by that phunky dude from Magellan, Trent... featuring the above mentioned shreduosos... So to break it down, we have from MC (www.magnacarta.net):

    Liquid Tension Experiment: March 10th Chaos Theory (with new name): Sometime April, maybe May Age of Impact: Most likely around June bordering on July.

    And of course the other notable releases like Platypus (Myung, Tabor, etc), Gordian Knot (those Cynic guys and that one madman from Watchtower). I have no idea at this point when they plan to bomb us with that stuff yet.

    And of course... Symphony-X's Twilight on Olympus (smoke that, EENNNGVAY), which should be released in Japan...

    Supposedly Angra is coming out with an album this year... and rumor has it they're talking to a big label here in the U.S. (ie: not MC, or Noise, or Massacre, or Metal Blade, we're talking label the size of Elektra).

    Stratovarius is coming out with a 2CD live set.

    And last but not least, Fates Warning is gonna release their live stuff later on this year, Video and CD I believe.

    And of course... Ptacek will be playing at an ARENA near you... with special guest Bafu of course.

    I posted a praise about Lords of Sound and I'll praise this one too. This bootleg puts even legitimately released CD packaging to shame. It is the ultimate in packaging I've seen so far. The source is from an FM broadcast, however a couple of tracks on disc 2 are from an audience source tape. I forget exactly where, but it reverts back to the soundboard source a bit further into the disc. Another point of interest is that this was made by the now deceased boot company in Italy called "Why Not?". They have closed their doors, I believe, nearly two years ago, which means yes, you guessed it, this boot is long since out-of-print. Grab this gem if you can.
