Just wanted to give a little bit of insight. There are many different
Stick configurations. The two most common are 10-string (5 bass
strings and 5 melody strings) and 12-string (6 and 6). The bass
strings are (in Standard Tuning) tuned in fifths, starting at the
middle of the instrument, getting higher in pitch closer to the
player. The melody strings are, like a guitar, tuned in 4ths going
away from the player.
The action is set up so that you can make a note just by tapping on
the instrument -- plucking, strumming, etc., isn't necessary. This
allows you to make notes with both hands at the same time. It feels
something akin to playing a string piano.
<plug>My band's going into the studio in a couple of weeks, to record
three songs. When we're done, you'll be able to hear my 10-string
Stick on one of them. Stay tuned to http://id.fm for more
information.</plug>

Yeah, I was a little confused at this too. I actually asked him if it would be
DVD -and- VHS, and he said DVD only, so make of that what you will. I think
maybe it's a way for the band and the label to put something out for the fans
that's more "limited edition" in a way. I mean, Elektra probably wouldn't run
off 500,000 copies of the thing. It'd be a special, small run release, hence
exclusively on DVD. That's just my guess anyway.

Hey JAMmers,
On the last JAM Dave listed his top 5 list for most talented musicians.
While I agree with him for the most part, I was quite disappointed to
see that he forgot about Tom Petty. I mean how can you overlook an
artist rolling joints in a Mad Hatter's outfit, having tea with
Alice,and dancing with Mary Jane all while running down a dream.
Seriously though, Springsteen, Melencamp, Petty, and the rest of the
singer/songwriters actually are very talented in the sense that they
write little miniature operas (stories set to music) How many modern
storytellers do you know with people walking around re-telling their
stories in their heads.(ever get a Stephen Kng short story stuck in you
head) Yet singer/songwriters can tell stories. get a point across, or
record history while at the same time entertaining shitloads of people,
even if most JAMmers disagree. $ & #'s don't lie! NOW I
don't really care for any of it myself, most of the music is too simple
to the point of being boring.
but I do recognise the talent in the respective genres of music (besides
isn't being progressive about being open minded)
BTW Willie Nelson is without doubt one of the most talented somgwriters
in his field for all time, and if anyone cares to check out his
biography they'll probably agree.( I saw it on VH1's Legends) but then
it could be that I'm from TN. and have been exposed to too much country
music:-)
Any way I think I'll take a nap now .
PEACE!
Billy.

Heh. I'm just trying to figure out exactly how sending death threats, in
all caps with poor spelling and grammar to boot, to people when you know
you'll never have to back up your big words, is more mature than simply
pointing out the fact that someone is making up emails that don't exist
and blatantly lying about what people have said. I can't figure it out,
but oh well, I don't plan to waste much time trying. :)

ROFL! I was kind of skeptical about ever treating myself to that movie
in this lifetime, but that seals it. I might have to go fork up $6 to
see it this weekend. :) There's nothing like rotten vaudeville comedy
to make me lmao. But then, I'm such a bigot, I'd go watch any movie

But then, if I want that, I can always watch All in the Family, then,

.This might be interesting for those who own neither of those videos but it
is a let-down for the rest of us. I always fantasized that the ideal 5YIALT
DVD would have to include:
-The complete Paris show (3 hours).
-The complete unplugged in Rotterdam show (2 hours).
-The Ronnie Scott show (1.5 hours?).
I was going to include the Awake PPV show but that show is widely available
as a bootleg (though I don't have it), and the TV station would probably ask
for royalties.
The maximum DVD capacity is 6 hours so the above is not impossible. Come on
Mike Portnoy... you know you want to!

To answer the question of what to do in order to maintain speed and
accuracy on lead guitar, just take advice from Petrucci himself! Use
whatever period of time you have to practice technique and divide it up
into segments. You mentioned you'll have about an hour, so what I would
do is this...
10 minutes of legato fragments
10 minutes of trill exercises
10 minutes of picking fragments
10 minutes of scale/chromatic exercises (to a metronome)
10 minutes sweep picking fragments
10 minutes string skipping fragments
Right there, you've taken an hour of time and divided it up to focus on
the specific groups. You don't have to go in this order.. I often start
with just picking exercises as I find them the most simple. Then, when I
know my hands are warmed up I'll move onto legato. After legato my hands
are sore as hell, so then I move to sweep picking which is delicate.
The important thing is to !FOCUS! on everything you do. Using a half-ass
approach will cut your results in half. If you play consistantly with
focus for just an hour a day, not only will you keep your chops up, but
they will continue to improve.

Just got my copy of the 08.2000 issue of Guitar One: let's review
pg 4-5: 2 page Mesa/Boogie ad. Let's see what bands are represented:
Creed, Blink 182, 3d Eye Blind, Bush, Limp Bizkit, Everclear, Korn,
Godsmack, 311, Foo Fighters, Eve 6.
Wow, I'm impressed, it's been a while since I've seen such a huge
congregation of crap (creed's ok)! What's it say about the mentality of
todays' guitar players when you've got to put Everclear in your ad in
order to sell records. "Hey everybody, shuck out 3 grand for our amps so
you can sound like the 1 riff wonder"
Pg 23 - Top 10 Ozzy Riffs - pretty cool.
pg 33 - Blues lessons
pg 50 - Electric Blueprint - woah - who's familiar goateed face is it
that I see??? Why, it's none other than JP.
For all those who were crying "overkill" when you saw JP's 6 cabs, it
turns out the middle 2 are his dry signal, while the outer pairs are for
his stereo wet signal. And then there's those 31 different rack

beyond me. 8-)b
Then "Silent Lucidity" tab and some good columns in the back.
