Hello!
I'm going to be living in the Portland area this summer and I'd like to
find a local guitar teacher, preferably one who's into prog, of
course. I've been playing for about a year now, but it's been kinda
half-assed practice because classwork and programming sucks up all of my
time. :P However, I plan to practice hard-core everyday this summer and
I'd love to learn improvisation techniques, build up speed, accuracy,
etc. and I think having a teacher would help a lot, even if it's only for
once a week. Please let me know if you'd be able for lessons...
Thanks!
Evan Chou

I don't want to start a war or anything, but surely you must realize that
Finland can never measure up to Sweden. It=92s like comparing Lars Ulrich=
to
Dave Weckl.

Not to flame Petrucci, hes a great guitar player, but how the hell can he
claim Stevie Ray Vaughn to be one his influences. John wouldn't know the
blues if it bit him in the ass.

Well, maybe he influenced him INTO picking up the guitar in the first place.
I can say im influenced by John Petrucci, and theres no way that by listening
to my guitar playing you will hear any similarities (although thats because i
suck ass)

last time we got kid size jams, the system broke down....hope that isn't
about to happen again.
By the way, a bit of news about Jordan Perlson, the new echolyn
drummer/percussionist (Paul Ramsay is still with the band, and Ray Weston
will be playing bass, if you were wondering)....he more or less has no
"background", as he's of (if i read it correctly) high school age, and
hooked up with the band because Chris Buzby is his HS music/band director.
And he'll be with the band until only the end of August, when he takes off
to attend some unguaranteed music school in Boston.
I sent a few questions along to Chris Buzby, and when I get a chance I'll
set up his and Brett Kull's (along with a couple of comment from mr.
perlson) answers on a quick'n'dirty web page, and let y'all know....the
final version will show up on http://www.amzmusiczine.com sometime in
June....

I guess the ground lift on that amp lifts the complete amp from the ground.
I guess it's a security issue. The Metal cover is usually connected directly
to the ground. In case there goes something wrong and a powered thing
inside touches the cover....
Other thing is that the devices (e.g. a computer and other microelectronics)
are sensitive to electrostatic tensions (expr ?) from e.g. someone
wearing wool-socks and a grounded cover protects it.
Therefore I recommended another solution 'in the long run'.
Groundlifted DI-Boxes just use a transmitter but every side keeps "it's
own ground"

Yes, the hum comes from voltage running across the ground line.
If they are all connected to the same ground with low resistance
(big wires) the loop is avoided.
