Here are some examples of the application of tri-tones. Explaining the specifics is quite wordy and involves augmented usages. It gets confusing.

In popular music
Black Sabbath's guitarist Tony Iommi used a tritone as the entire basis for his song Black Sabbath. He plays a tritone exclusively until halfway through the song.
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta makes extensive use of the tritone in the large majority of his compositions.
Nu metal band Korn uses tritone in great amount in its works especially on their first album Korn.
Thrash metal band Slayer's 1998 album is entitled Diabolus in Musica and the song Bitter Peace features the tritone.
The intro to the song Purple Haze by the Jimi Hendrix Experience uses a tritone in which Hendrix plays a B♭ octave while bassist Noel Redding plays an E octave.
The intro to the song YYZ by Rush uses the tritone C-F♯ several times over before entering the main riff.
The intro to the song Last Entertainment by the Swiss technical Thrash Metal band Coroner uses an A-D♯ tritone.
The intro to the song Charlie by Red Hot Chili Peppers uses a series of tritones: F-B, B-F, B♭-E, and E-B♭.
Many King Crimson songs (for example, Red) make extensive use of tritones.
One of the intro riffs in the song "As I Am" by Dream Theater uses the C-F♯ tritone
Buckethead makes extensive use of tritones in his rapid solos to give them a "robotic" and "unnatural" feel. Sometimes, like in the song Jordan, he'll perform a solo using only tritones.
The tritone is a particularly important interval in heavy metal.
The bass line to Busta Rhymes song Woo-Ha uses a tritone.

Nice find dude! Thanks

ps- I have a correction to make in the song. Instead of playing the C#m play either an E or E/G# (4x2450). The C#m will work but the progression of the chorus goes A G#(or E) F# A D E E A.

I've had mine(USA Strat,1976) since 1986. My hands have never touched a finer electric guitar nor have my ears heard a finer sounding instrument. It's all personal preference. Can't really add more than that.

Yes, so long as it is not spamming, indecent, offensive or insulting material. It may need further clearance from Per (owner of Chordie).
  Any comments on my requests? (Satriani & Skynyrd)

You've got to be kidding me! I remember that day. I'm the biker dude! I ended up dating your presidents brother for a short while but he left me for some skinny, preppy frat boy. (hehehehe)

Yeah I 'member Mr Fooz. If I'm not mistaken it became Buddy's. I had the privelge of playing Buddy's a few times and saw some really good bands perform there too. One band that comes to mind was a band called "Billy Goat". They started their set out really mellow and jazzy but the lead singer/guitarist had wild poofy hair and was wearing a ballerina tu-tu. They ended their first song and busted into thrash punk, high-energy stuff. They had one song about Ramen (cheap noodle meal) and handed out packages of Ramen to the crowd for them to open and throw all over the place. They were a fun band, don't know what ever became of them............Ton 80 is the name that had escaped me. That was a fun place too. There was also "The Cellar", "Sacketts" in Radford (big southern rock venue), "The Bus Stop", also in Radford(mostly disco but some live music). My favorite place to visit and hang out when I go back home is Macadoos! I love that place.(food,atmosphere,drankin')....OK, now I'm really getting homesick!

Don't let the price scare you away, it's worth every penny. Also, this is the second, upgraded version of the one I own. The modelling unit, ($500) by itself is the reason for the price increase from the original model.($2,000)
I believe it's 1,400 watts. That's pretty insignificant though once you hear one of these things. I like an eargasm at first contact. They project sound amazingly over a 180 degree span with the volume the same 10 feet away as it is 100 feet away. Bose is sick!!!! Here's a link for some further research for you;

I use and love Boss pedals. Here's how i run mine;

Guitar>Boss tuner>Boss Compressor/Sustain>Boss EQ(for solo boost)> Boss Phase Shifter(spacey,chorus,flange,envelope filter,wah sound)>Boss EQ( leave on all of the time)>Boss RC20-XL Loop Station>Mackie unpowered mixer>Marshall 50Watt Soloist> Bose L1 Cylindrical Radiator Loudspeaker System (1,400 watts) or for smaller venues I'll use a Behringer 45 watt acoustic Amp instead of the Bose. Also, I use a DC power source
for my pedals (2) , I connect the tuner, comp/sus/eq,env.filt,and eq. I have a seperate power source for the loop. I like the reliability of the direct power source as opposed to batteries. My amps are set pretty much at 12 oclock and my EQ is adjusted from my mixer. The volume is dependent upon the size of venue I'm playing.
There's my secret formula for my live sound and I swear by Boss pedals. I've tried many different brands and I always find myself going back to my Boss pedals, They're durable, reliable, easy to operate, and sound amazing.

Half-wit

A man owned a small farm in Virginia. The Virginia State Wage & Hour Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.

> 'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the agent.

> 'Well,' replied the farmer, 'there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months and I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.'

Zurf,
I usually buy items from the "bargain bin". I got a sweet fretless bass for $150, normally sold for $450. It was a year end closeout. I play it everytime I gig and the thing stays in tune better than any stringed instrument I've ever played. I think it's a Fullerton. I knew I wasn't gonna be gettin' rid of it so I blacked out the name on the headstock. I got a thing about people gawkin' at my guitars to see what "brand" I'm playin'? Kinda weird I know but that's just the ways I's is. And I got a trombone with case for $100. The advertised price was a mistake but because it was advertised they took the $ loss and sold it to me at the price advertised. I check their site one a week or so for the sweet deals. I've attached a reply from a previous post regarding Bob Margolin;

I did play with "Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin"!!! South Main Cafe in Blacksburg was our common venue. Bob is one of the coolest people on the face of the earth. He's still pumping out fantastic stuff and his live shows are better than ever. Are you familiar with "The Yams From Outer Space"? If you are I've got some intersting stuff to tell you about them. My band "DejaVoodoo" played such venues as; Lucky's downtown Radford, Hokie House and Buddy's in Blacksburg and a few others that I can't recall the names of? It was a while back ('87-'91) My band also played gigs with such bands as "Electric Woodshed", "The Kind", "The Locomotives", and Greg Albert's "Freak Show." Ah....the good ole days!

I can tell you from first hand knowledge one is never too old to learn how to play guitar. The level one attains is exclusively up to the indidvidual and the amount of time they spend practicing efficiently. I play professionally and teach a handful of students ranging from age 9-48. I have taught older students and most of the older students do very well. The focus seems to be stronger with the older students. Good luck and prosperous pickin'!
