Specific to recording (information, not music) fiber channel has been used on high end server systems for a number of years. If you've ever worked with a PC to install a hard drive, imagine being able to replace that ribbon cable with a single piece of glass, and attach it to a massive amount of storage running somewhere else in the room.
A single strand of optical fiber can carry as much as 40 gigabytes of data per second. That's like seven full DVDs per second.
If you look at the medium like a water pipe, it makes more sense. The glass is like a great big pipe feeding a whole neighborhood, rather than a little skinny pipe just feeding your house. Fiber allow more data to be transmitted in the same amount of time than you would get with USB or some other copper solution.
Digital information is transmitted the same way no matter what the format is. Video, audio, text, whatever, it all comes across the wire as a stream of 1s and 0s. So the more 1s and 0s you can transmit, the more data you can record.
They all look the same 'cause you aren't paying attention! The devil (or in this case, the beauty,) is in the details.
Or sometimes, it's right out in front where it belongs.
But the reality is that the beauty of a guitar is in the fine detailing on the fretboard, and the kerfing on the body, IMO. That's where the art of the luthier really shines.
I think DBT are pretty well known. Jason Isbell is touring on his own, and 8 albums and a Rolling Stone write up is "people know who we are" material. Great band, though. They've earned their popularity.
I'm gonna toss up The Avett Brothers, and The Steeldrivers.

Great groups, both.
This is like the 3rd or 4th time Ken has given us his "last post," so I have full faith and confidence that the King will return. 
No one said we all have to agree on everything. In fact, that would be rather boring. I encourage everyone to disagree on something today! 
Anyway, the chart is useful. It's easy to read, and it lends itself to helping understand theory better than the circle of 5ths. But for transposing, it's missing 5 keys, so it's not the best tool for that.
One more note... \Yyou don't want me on lead. I'll play all the rhythm you want, or bass. I'm pretty good for a turnaround or fill, but genuine lead players can go on and on and on, and I can just go on, and then I get tired.
Jerome ,
You are correct but you cannot deny this is a handy tool as is the circle of fifths. I disagree on learning from it also. I'm sure a lot of new players will see a common pattern by looking this over.
No I won't agree that it's as handy as the circle of 5th, for the very simple reason that it only supplies information on 7 keys, while the circle of 5ths provides information on all of them. It's easier to read, but its incomplete.
As I said, if you understand *why* that chart, or the circle of 5ths works the way it does, it obviates the need for them.
The best tool for transposition is the circle of 5ths. This chart is merely a tablature version of part of that.
It's a good chart, but the underlying theory that created it is applicable to all keys. So learn the theory, and the chart will make a whole lot more sense. If you just refer to the chart as a rote device, you'll never learn the theory.
Very nice!
I have a 13 year old student. I just told her to pick three songs, and those would be the ones to work on.
So she did.

No,
Bmaj 7th is
B D# F# A#The chord you give is a 2nd inversion of Emaj7
So flatten the 7 (G#) and you've got a dominant 7 chord.
The 7th (in B major) is the A#, flatten that to get the dom 7th of B
B D# F# AI don't follow your answer at all, Jerome.
The notes in the chord given in the original post are E G B D# (E B D# G B E looking at the 6 strings)
This is clearly just E minor with a D#. From the stated context (coming between Em and Em7) the D# is almost certainly the result of a descending melody or bass line being represented in the chord of Em.
Gack. Yer right. I got to G an stopped.

Townes was one of the great ones. He's also the namesake for Justin Townes Earle, Steve Earle's son.
That kid is also destined to be a great one.
Is it possible to have fingers to fat to play guitar?
I can not get d cord with out touching other strings
It might be, but I've never seen it. One of my good friends, and great players, is built like a beer keg with sausage hands. The dude rips it up.
Check out a guy named Mike Marshall on the mandolin. The dude is one of the finest mando players on earth, and he has these huge muppet hands that literally swallow the neck.
Check out these mitts!
All guitars BB King plays are Lucile. So in that regard, it's different that Trigger. Trigger is a guitar. Lucile is a lot of guitars.
Even the blues guys and their dom7ths are generally in key.
We tend to speak in terms of triads when we talk about chords. The major and the minors. But the same rules apply for 7ths as well. While the triad appropriate for the V is a major chord, the 7th chord appropriate for the V is a dominant 7.
Its still that good old I IV V progression, but in this case, it's done with 7ths rather than triads.
Theory is not so strict as we all might think.
How do we get away from a "strict" key? You can modulate (essentially changing keys) within a song, and you can also borrow related chords into your progression.
In the Beatles' I Feel Fine (key of G), The chorus runs G - Bm - C - D on the first line, and G-Bm - Am - D on the second. Since the Am is the relative minor of C, we say the chord is borrowed.
Am is in key for G major. It's the II. Modulation and borrowing are all well and good, but I Feel Fine, is actually in G, and those chords, well, fit fine.
I IV V man. Dig out that circle of fifths and learn 'em all.
The five open positions are probably the ones you want to know, though.
I IV V
C F G
A D E
G C D
E A B
D G A
I've got Willie and Wynton (the Marsallis and Nelson duet album) on my desk right now.
Smithsonian, absolutely. It's a treasure, as is Willie. He said when the hole makes the guitar unplayable, he'll retire.
Portland Oregon, or Portland Maine?
It makes a difference in the commute time.
I don't refer to strings by number. I call them out by note.
"Fret the D string on the 3rd fret...."
I think it's a better way to learn music.

It helps to have something recorded as well.
Well said, Zurf.
And Ken, to your point, you're absolutely right. While America bore the brunt of the carnage on 9/11, the impact was, and still is, felt globally. I remember the people that died in London, and in Spain as an aftermath of all of this. It is a common American failing to forget that we're only 5% of the world's population, and there is life outside our own borders. It may be due to the two oceans on our borders, but it's there.
Or.
once ye have caught a fresh brown trout, pan size and ye gut it and descale it.
Chuck a knob of butter inside along with a small amount of lemon, corriander and dill.
wrap it all up into an envelope and place it on the rocks next to your outdoor fire. Turn frequently. Depending on the fire it should cook in a bout half hour.Open tinfoil carefully, open it up and dig in.
( no need to eat the head or the tail or the fins. these can all be cut off before cooking if one prefers not to see the fish looking at you just as you delve in)
Ken
In my mind, this is the *only* way to prepare trout. Most delicious.
So did they set him free?
