Nantucket was the big local band of my youth - they made a few albums - I actually saw them open for AC/DC in Dallas, TX - I was the only person singing every word of their songs. They've been making a comeback recently - saw them open for Heart a few years ago in Raleigh. Great fun-time band.
Hootie and the Blowfish also used to tour the local bars before they became big time - great Bar Band!

Re: Squeaking strings (12 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
fast fret or finger ease are great for this,, however if you want the least expensive metod,, clean each string with rubbing alcohol by soaking some into a rag and then pinch teh string between and go up and dow to get off excess dirt, then get some mineral oil/ or lemon oil and put on a cotton rag (t-shirt) and then go up and down the fret board. THis will moisturize the fret bod, clean the frets, and you lightly rub some on the strings and wipe the excess off. This will do a lot for you.
(BTW - the main ingrediant in fast fret and string ease is mineral Oil.)
As noted ^, Even pros squeak on acoustic

Re: Easy recording (but professional)? Advice/Tips? (7 replies, posted in Recording)
If budget is not a issue, like was said b4 Get A NEW PUTER and then ask the best guy you know at the local music store if he can come over, look at your room, tell him what you want to do and see what He says.
I have a budget set up that consistof my computer and a Berhinger 8 channel mixer and a nice berhinger condensor mic. I run everything to teh mixer then stero RCA to a 1/8th (using a Y cable) into my sound card. for the monitors I run from my head phone out on the puter to the aux input on the stereo beside my desk. speakers are good and it reproduces good enough for my skill.
Once again if you have the $$EE to blow, you can get a work station and have all teh goodies. I would bet you that someone would be glad to set you up a home rig.

What is a bridge
Can't hardly wait for this one
As best as I can describe it, its a instrumental that changes the pace between your main sections of a song. usually where a solo or two get put in. Here is a link that may explain it better
http://musiced.about.com/od/othermusicg … forms4.htm
One of the easiest ones I can think of that is not Metal & one of my all time favorites is Taxi by Harry Chapin. I think the main bridge is where he sings Ive got something inside of me..." and then the falsetto comes in w/ the lines "babys so high that she is flying" and then it goes back to the main story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX9RjymQ1-4
as for metal for the possible non- metal head,, this example is "MEGA CLASSIC" Victim of Changes. and here is the song structure as noted in WIKI: CompositionThe song opens with a fade-in dual guitar passage that flows into the song's main riffs. A linear pattern is followed until the staccato section in the bridge. The song's first main guitar solo follows afterward, it is played by KK Downing. The bridge section finishes an goes into a lighter, more mellow section that soon intensifies. The second solo, played by Glenn Tipton, comes during the heavy section. The song returns to the main riff and finishes with Rob Halford's banshee-like screams.The song is written in the key of B minor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl2KTMXyH0M
Even if your not a Metal guy, This is more heavy blues based (on a side note Cheater is a JP song that is heavily blues laden with harmonica added in also) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9UM4N5sGBs
Hope this helps!

I think that's the point. You *can't* delay the passage of time. No amount of money can do it. Time waits for no man. The only thing that happens is you end up looking like an old dude trying way too hard, rather than the Frampton case where you look like an old dude that just rocks the house.
lolol , Ill never have that kind of dough so to each their own. In defence of Ozzy, I kind of think it looks good on him. Hellova lot better than how he looked during his Diary of a mad man toure. fat and out of shape and older than he was. He can still rock the house. A true showman. Once he hits the stage its like a reflex. It just ozzes out of him.
I like Framton a lot, but trying to compare him to Hard rockers like Steven Tyler and Ozzy is not even in the same ball park. If you want other gracefull ageing stars in his park, there would have to be Phill Collins, Eric Clapton, Dick Dale, Page and Plant, and Mark Knoplfer. All Great but Ill bet you a few of them have had the secert hollywood plactic treatment,, just a bit more subtle. Eric has downed his fair share of a drugstore in his time as well as some of the others, I think that for Oz and Tyler too look that good(even with help) after the legacy they have left,, Its Da*n Amazing they can still get on stage.

I thnk maybe its something not so much physical, but more like the one thing my oldes and closest friends know, I do my best to be the guy who keeps in contact. This was way b4 FB maee it so much easier. Certain people I have always benn incomunication with since teh age of 12. talked to them at least every 2 to 3 months, unless at sea then I wrote. If you ask my wife she would say im a "friend collector" Maybe that is my silly liile thing.
