    Actually, I'm loving it. I always have loved all the gearheads and their
    technobabble. I recently found that I scored highly in Guitar magazine's "What's
    you gear IQ <and I don't even play guitar!>. I didn't do as well in Guitar Shop's
    <the BEST Guitar mag> similar quiz, but they had questions like "what was the
    first year Gibson put PAF pickups in their Les Pauls?" Who cares!?!?!? Les Pauls
    suck! :)

    I'm a singer now, but back when I was a MUSICIAN <joke, people!> I played the
    trumpet in my elementary school band <well over 10 years ago>. In one piece we
    played we had a triangle part that never seemed to come in at the right time. I
    kept yelling at the guy who was supposed to play it; i.e. I kept turning around
    and cueing him, but still he would miss it. Finally he said, "if you're so smart,
    YOU play it!" Not one to back down from a challenge, I took the triangle and
    beater-thingie, took off a shoelace and with it affixed the triangle to my
    trumpet. When the time came, I used my left hand <I'm left handed anyway, so it
    was no big deal> to do the necessary accents on the triangle. My band instructo
    wouldn't let me do it in performance though. :/

    OK if you want to know i Use: Ibanez JEM 555 with daddario strings
    0.09-0.46 always in regular tuning. Kawaii Aquarius Guitar with=20
    daddario strings 0.09-0.48 in open Eb open D drop D or drop C tuning.
    I use a Marshall valvestate 80 watts combo.
    The effect i use is a Rocktec chorus, George Dennis Tremolo-volume,
    boss octaver and a ordinary cry-baby.
    I thougt of getting a Digitech wammy pedal. But it wasn=B4t so good on
    the things i wanted it to be.
    The new project is to get a 7-stringed guitar which I always have
    wanted. But guitars are expensive here in Sweden i payed 14000 swedish
    kronor for my Ibanez which is about 1800 american dollars.

    >and everything else, I was lead to believe it's all strictly
    >alternate picking (Zero Economy picking).

            I don't understand this part of the conversation. I definitely do the
    economy picking thing; I pretty much always have, but how can you NOT do that
    if the last pick stroke on one string goes in the same direction as the first
    pick attack on the next string? For those of you who say you do strict
    alternate picking, do you actually stop your arm or hand (whichever you pick
    with) somehow between strings? Like if you're just playing a standard mode
    shape up and down the scale with three notes to a string, or any odd number of
    notes to a string (assumming you keep moving in the same direction up or down
    the strings), do you still not use one motion to go from one string to the
    next? If so, how does that work? Does your hand just stop for a split second
    between the strings?
            I've logged a lot of fairly rigorous metronome time in my 3 1/2 years
    of playing, so maybe that helps, but I have no problem maintaining an even
    sounding articulation from note to note and from one string to the next when I
    use this technique, which is one reason people have suggested that they don't
    use it. I also do a lot of chromatic exercises with the metronome, obviously
    with four notes to a string, so then I have to "run around the car" so to
    speak, but if I tried to play a mode with "strict alternate picking" I honestly
    wouldn't know how to do it. And yes, I can accurately play those modes about
    15-20 bpm faster than I can accurately play a chromatic scale because of the
    hand-motion economy factor, but I have always fancied that that was not a
    limitation of my alternate picking technique but just an advantage to arranging
    notes in such a way as to keep pick strokes going in the same direction. This
    isn't always possible, obviously, but I'm wondering: no matter how good your
    alternate picking technique is, shouldn't you always be able to play that much
    faster when you can sweep from one string to the next? I'm not asking as a
    challenge, I'm asking because I don't understand what you guys are talking
    about when you say you don't do this.
            Um, this looks pretty unoffensive, but since I'm responding to one of
    Chris' posts I'll just point out that in no way is this intended to be a flame,
    so if I offended you, SCREW OFF! or something.

    Hey dudes,

            Here's my take: If you have buddies who have very good technique,
    then you don't need lessons right away. The toughest thing in the
    beginning is not memorization... it's getting your hands to do what
    you want them to. I tried playing left handed to see how this
    felt... to see if it could bring back that dexterity problem, so I
    could remember what it was like... and it was a nightmare! Hahahah!
    My Girlfriend was making fun of me! I picked like a retarded
    chimpanzee.
            School for guitar depends ENTIRELY on where you go. Generally,
    outside of classical, you have to work on your technique on your own.
    They won't tell you how to shred. There's no magic key you can get
    to automatically make you shred. I think the rule is, if you have
    friends who you can learn from, start with that... if you find a
    good guitar teacher (don't just assume he knows how to play... do
    some research) move on to that, and then if you plan to play
    music for a living, at least TRY school, because you WILL NOT
    master theory on your own. You won't MAKE yourself work with a
    book until your eyes bleed... but getting a good grade may
    motivate you to do so.
            The benefit of school over lessons is that you usually get a more
    thorough education. I think Calvin made an awfully dangerous
    generalization when he knocked guitarists teaching theory... at a
    UNIVERSITY (not at MI, or AIM or schools based on practical playing)
    most of the guitar teachers are qualified to teach you theory. Here
    at NIU, we have Fareed Haque (http://www.fareed.com) who is a master
    jazz guitarist, as well as an award winning master classical
    guitarist (and he's played with everyone... he's on Sting's Soul
    Cages, for God's sake)... he's at least as schooled a musician as
    anyone I can think of. It doesn't matter what instrument your theory
    teacher specializes in, as long as he or she has an understanding of
    how it should be taught.

    I believe I play in the only unsigned heavy metal band left on the
    planet that has no members that play Ibanez. We do, however, play
    Jackson (Matt), Zion (Me), and Warwick (Dan). We ruin it, however, by
    having a drummer that plays Tama (Hoshino, same parent company as
    Ibanez, I believe.) I personally have owned several RG series guitars,
    and sold all of them. I also recently got to play a Universe for a
    couple of days, and while the seven strings were no problem - a little
    weird, but quite playable - the pickups sounded like crap, and the build
    quality was awful for a $1500 guitar, seven string or not. I always
    found it interesting that almost none of Ibanez's endorsers play one of
    their standard models - they either have their own model, or have
    something built for them.

    Not that I'm knocking the guitars - they're pretty good, for the money,
    I just don't like them.

    Now to subject jump a bit -

    As far as pure "shredding" goes, I generally find it boring. Michael
    Angelo puts me to sleep, as does Impalitteri. Michael Romeo actually
    comes dangerously close, at times, but I like his riffs a lot more than
    the other two. In terms of absolute ripping, Neil ZaZa was the most
    impressive guy I've ever seen - he'd do sweeps where he was flipping his
    hand over the neck, alternating back and forth, and hitting them
    cleanly. It looked great, but it sounded like a guy ripping arpeggios.
    Yawn.

    Dunlop Jazz III's seem to be the pick of choice. I personally can't
    stand the damn things - I use the regular Dunlop Tortex 1.00mm's. They
    work a lot better for me, despite the increased mass, because I pick
    REALLY hard. I also think it's interesting that Yngwie uses what are
    essentially Fender mediums. I guess it's whatever makes you comfortable,
    but I like a little "give" in the pick. Then again, I'm not exactly a
    shred player anymore - Division doesn't require it, and it took a lot a
    practicing for me to keep my chops at that level. I'm just lazy, I
    guess. :)

    For some slight DT content, the NoVA/MD types will probably like to know
    that DT is supposed to come back to Jaxx at some point, dates as yet
    unconfirmed. While it may be small, the sound certainly makes it worth
    dealing with the crowd...

    It has something to do with the bizarre phallic-connections of guitar and

            I have the only and last album of theirs (meaning that they've
    disbanded long ago) and I really can't get past those electronic vocals.
    The music is interesting, but if it consisted only of death metal
    vocals/growls, I think that it would be much easier to digest.

            Of course, many would tell me: "hey, if there were only death
    growls, the album wouldn't be so unique blah, blah, blah"

            Ha

            Ha

            Ha

            I really think that the album has enough elements to be unique
    without those annoying roboto vocals.

            Since I know nothing about music technique or theory, I can, at
    most, summarize my opinions basically to "thumbs up" or "thumbs down".

            Despite the vocals, this album is "thumbs up".

    heh, I can't believe I'm actually replying to this, but I kinda agree with him. Candlebox was definitely a decent band. Unfortunately, they hit the classic spell that has befallen alot of groups that do well with an album. They released a second album, called "Lucy", which was also very good (not as good a the first), released one single off of it, which did nothing, and basically fell off the face of the earth, as far as I know. A shame, because they were a good band, too.....apparently, though, they were not very good live, and the singer sucked live (forgetting lyrics and shtuff like that..........)

    Kicks ass. Oh man, by far his best effort. Very intelligent piece of musicianship. Stu and Jeff are excellent as well, the synergy is there. Also, the packaging is smooth and incredibly professional. Joe may in fact be the coolest guy on the (crystal) planet right now. Go check it out. Take the time.

    ps there are little riffs from old songs (esp. from Time Machine) all over this thing which makes experience even better for the hardcore fans

    I was told that Magna Carta CDS were distributed in my local record shop, Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ, if anybody goes there. I haven't found much. I know Tower holds them, Tower holds everything. But, unless you live in the city, you're not near a Tower.
