I got another one;
You know when all of the cereal is gone and you tilt the box up with your mouth open trying to get all the contents of the box and then, KAPOWWW, the fine powdered goodies hit a snag and completely cover yer face and totally miss yer mouth. I really hate this...........
"I have a group of friends going to Florida in October! Where do you Play there?"
Hello Old Doll,
I play in the Tampa/St.Pete area and my October schedule is pretty crazy. If you'd like I'll send you a private e-mail with specific details per each venue. I don't wanna get in trouble for spamming myself(tehe). If you do come you must bring your guitar and play some of those beautiful creations of yours.

I think the Beatles songs were "prettier" than the Stones. Contrarily, I think the Stones songs were/are "funner" than the Beatles. The Beatles vocal harmonies far outrate the Stones but Mick's energy and stage presence far outrate the Beatles. I believe George Harrison's soloing was superior to any Stones soloer(Richards,Jones, Wood) but Charlie Watt's grooves on the drums were several notches above Ringo or Paul's chops.(Paul played drums on many Beatle's studio tracks). Given all the afore mentioned factors I conclude this; It's a tie !!!!!!!
Get a copy of "Carmine Caruso musical calisthenics for brass". There is no other set of exercises that will develop your embouchre, breath control, range, and tone so quickly and so well as that.
Thanks Zurf, I will get this book.

p.s. I really like that embouchre word. Might have to use it in a song or for a future band name. Or maybe a child's name, or a pet.....
Hi SouthPaw41L (is that your suit size?) -
James,
Again, thanks for the tips. The information and suggestions you gave will be very useful. And to answer your question, 41L is not my suit size. I used to be a motocross racer and that (41L) was my number.
Kindest Regards,

I've decided to add some brass to my list of instruments competent on. My life goal is to be hired on in a reputible studio somewhere as a session musician. Right now I play the resort circuit on the west coast of Florida, USA. My instrument list includes; guitar, bass guitar, piano, keyboards(synthesizer), drums, percussion, harmonica, mandolin, uke, bowed psalter, keytar, and pretty much anything with strings or keys. Playing out is fun and sometimes rewarding but the majority of the people I'm playing to don't appreciate the efforts of local live music. Anyways, I digress. Anyone out there have some good, solid, practical, applicable advice for the beginning trombonist?
Zurf,
We have common geographical ties. I grew up in those beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the New River Valley to be specific. I aspire to relocate back to the mountains and sooner can't come quick enough. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. That ole saying proves very true for me in relation to my old home. Seriously missing the mountains,

Have a look at this guitar and brouse around the sight. Best prices I've found yet. I've personally bought 6 guitars from this site.

good luck, happy shopping!!
Easy,
One of each.
The Taylor for the electronics, the Gibson for the neck, and the Martin for the body.
Just kidding about all 3. Play all 3, opt for the one that feels best in your hands, fills your practical musical needs, and agrees with your budget.
I have a Gibson J-45 and personally think it's the greatest instrument ever made, but that's my modest opinion only. Decisions, decisions..........
Ken,
A G/D chord is a split chord. If you were to play it on a piano the right hand would play a G chord and the left hand would play a D note or chord(doesn't matter so much as long as it's D major).
The easiest way to play this G/D chord on guitar is;(XX0433)
As you mentioned earlier, you've found an alternative way of playing theG/D. My past experiences have proven that whenever a "split" chord comes up, try one of the two and you'll most likely be happy with one or the other.
So again, in conclusion, while playing split chords the first chord is the right hand note on the piano ( treble clef) and the second chord is the left hand on the piano(bass clef).
Hope that wasn't too confusing.
Peace & Guitar,
Toney
I was at the Alison Krauss and Union Station concert the night George Harrison died. Jerry Douglas, one of the greatest musicians ever to breath O2, dedicated his solo to George. He did this prior to Georges passing, which made it more the eerie and extraordinary. For 15 minutes Jerry poured his soul out onto those dobro strings and I mean to tell you, it was goose-bumpburg.
I like the way George almost always, in every song he wrote, would throw in a "weird" chord. George, in my opinion, was the glue that held the Beatles together for "all those years". I'd like to see"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" played to open concerts as anthems are used to initiate sporting events. George's influence was evident in the "Concert for George." So many huge named stars shoed up to give thanks for what George did for music. George was neat, George was cool, I miss him.
I use 2 Boss EQ's. I leave one on and use the other as a volume/tone boost. This works very good for me personally. Also, I invested in the Boss DC power supply to elimate using 9V batteries. I really like Boss FX pedals, very durable and easy to operate.
You can probably get a comprable guitar for less money. You're payin' for the name on the head stock. I've played one a they're nice, but so are many others, for considerably less money. Here's a few to look at;

Old Doll,
This song is gorgeous. After reading it I felt a warmth inside and a sense of appreciation for my "Special One". You are hugely talented, thanks for sharing your gift with us. I'm getting a Joni Mitchell vibe stylistically with your poetry. Hope that's a compliment to you, it was meant to be.

Some folks are gonna recommend oils, polishes, cleaners and the like but me personally, I prefer a non-lint rag and a touch of elbow grease. I've never put anything foreign on my guitars and as long as you wipe them down thoroughly after each session they stay nice and pretty. This is just my opinion but to verify this belief my 1976 strat, 1988 LesPaul, and my 2005 J-45 shine like the day I got 'em.
Thanks I just bought the Vox Valvetronix AD30VT 30w 1x10 Guitar Combo Amp
Good choice ridgerunner! I feel very confident that you're gonna love your new amp. Get ready to shake the walls...
I like this thread and I love this clip. Eddie Van Halen giving props to Les Paul with Tony Levin on Bass and Jan Hammer on keytar. Eddie kisses Les like ten times. I think Ed was a bit sloshed but wow!!!! what a performance.
Lots of real good stuff, lots of real bad.
Good; John Mayer, Brad Paisley, Goverment Mule, Steve Vai, String Cheese Incident, Disco Biscuits, Keller Williams, Ziggy Marley, Eric Clapton, JJ Cale,
The new Allman Brothers, KT Tunstall, Death Cab for Cutie, moe., Trace Bundy, Alison Krauss and Union Station,Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, White Stripes, and so, so, many more. There's good in many, some you just have to look a little deeper. More importantly, this generation has put the emphasis BACK to the singer/songwriter and away from the lip sync/sequenced crud that cluttered the music industry for way too long.
Bad; Anything remotely related to or associated with American Idol, emo bands whos "men" wear eye liner make-up on their eyes, posers who talk about writing songs and then not playing an instrument in concert, any clown who uses pre-recorded music in their "LIVE" act.
Hazen,
I'll send you a private e-mail with my gig schedule.

Hello folks
Did a search for Loop machines and came up with nothing...So...
Anyone had any experience with one? And if so...any particular brand?
Thanks!

You'll have to do one phrase at a time, unless the symetry is the same all throught the song. You'll have to pick and choose your parts that you want to sample. For example, I'll sometimes loop a guitar intro and solo over the looped prt. Sometimes I'll solo over outro parts and sometimes during the middle of a song I'll do a little loopy loop. You're not gonna be one those "sounds just like the record" guys but looping adds so much individuality without following the masses and sequencing. I also have a seperate stage mic that I use for percussion. I'll loop a guitar part then play the top part of a djembe drum. After I run through a measure I'll play the bottom of the drum. Finally, I'll use a shaker or a casaba. This emulates the snare or toms, the bass drum, and the high hat. Your possiblities are endless with looping and you're not confined and restricted like you are wuth pre-recorded music. Hope this makes sense.

This is part of a conversation I had w/TomCraig a few months back. It gives some useful info(hopefully).
Re: Loop PedalI've been a happy owner Of The BossRC20 XL Loop Station for over a year now. There's a single input, a double input, and the big daddy, a five input. They're $180, $250,and $500 respectively. I absolutely love mine. I am adamantly against performing with pre-recorded music so my Boss RC 20 is perfect for my needs. I thinks it's perhaps the coolest musical gadget ever !!! It took me a little time to master the looping technique but I got it now and people really dig it. The audience gets to see a tune created right before their eyes and I feel as though respect and appreciation is greatly enhanced with "the loop".I run my guitar into one input and a stage mic into the other. I'll add percussion such as djembe, casaba, cabasa, cowbell, shakers, thunder tube, goats toes, sleigh bells, tambourine, vocal percussion, etc... on top of a guitar loop. Then I'll sometimes add vocal harmonies on top of the previously mentioned. The important thing is variety and dynamic diversity. One can overuse "the loop" sometimes if one's not careful. I do not work for Boss so I'm not trying to sell their product. I'm just a small time( but Full-time) working musician and I strongly endorse the Boss RC 20 XL.

Can anyone help, please explain in plain terms, the easiest scales to practice.
Thanks
I've recently assembled a songbook with tons of scales and soloing tools. Have a look through and try it out. Here's the link;
Hi all
I am a proficient acoustic player and am looking to transfer my learnings to an electric, with the aim of looking to learn lead solos for instrumental breaks in songs.
Has anyone got any sound advice for getting started here?
When you see guitarists soloing, it looks like they are playing almost intuitively... that is what I want to achieve.... the question is how?
Thanks guys...
Jason
Hello Jason,
I just put a songbook together that has tons of scales and the sort. Here's the link;

Hello Natho,
The easiest, fastest repair would be for you to buy an inexpensive bridge bone, as you call it. Make a project out of it. It'll need some fine adjusting to bring the strings down low enough to play comfortably and eliminate the "buzz".
First, loosen your strings without removing them and install the new bridge bone and decide where the problem area(s) might be. Use course sandpaper to decrease the size. Sand on the side that goes into the saddle!!! Do this gradually because you can't put size back if you sand too much down. Underneath your loosened strings, you can slip the bridge in and out to check the string height. Make sure you tune to a standard tuning to ensure correct tension/resistance efficiency. If this fails, take the guitar to your local music store and pay a little $ to have it properly repaired. Good luck.
