That was impressive. BTW does anyone have the G3 video. If so can you email me (privatly or to the jam) about whether on your version you can hear Eric Johnson because you can't on mine?

Everett said: >Could you guys (and gals :) suggest artists to start with? There are six traditional jazz artists (instrumental) that I think everyone would agree you should have SOMETHING by: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk. They have had the greatest influence on subsequent artists. Look for the copyright dates on Miles albums though. Stuff in the seventies and after may throw you off if you get that first. As for contemporary artists, I suggest five more: Joshua Redman, Pat Metheny, Christian McBride, Kenny Garrett, and Marcus Roberts. Anything by those guys is good stuff, but be careful with Metheny. He has some albums that are not for the timid listener. >Also, what do you consider to be the cornerstones of jazz recordings? This I think is a LOT more subjective. There are albums that are generally coinsidered great that I don't care that much for, but I'll give you my top ten. Since you say "cornerstones" this, to me, would eliminate recent releases from contention, but I included a few because they are truly extraordinary. 1) Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain 2) John Coltrane - My Favorite Things 3) Dave Brubeck - Time Out 4) Pat Metheny & Charlie Haden - Beyond the Missouri Sky 5) Thelonius Monk & Sonny Rollins - Thelonius Monk/Sonny Rollins 6) Miles Davis - Birth of the Cool 7) Stan Getz - Best of the West Coast Sessions 8) Herbie Hancock - Headhunters 9) Charlie Parker - Yardbird Suite 10) Marcus Roberts - Time and Circumstance There are a load of compilation and "greatest hits" albums out there for the older artists (Diz, Satchmo) but be wary of these. The selection can be quite atrocious as I found out from one Charlie PArker compilation. Try to find a place that lets you listen first. And under no circumstances should you buy a CD from the 1980's until you've assembled a solid collection. Most of the stuff from that period, even stuff from esteemed artists, is CRAP. Remember, this is just a SHORT list. Any questions, let me know!

That album was my 2-nd bought tape in my life. There was a great song on it called "Black Cat". I remember I liked it very much. It had awesome intro guitar solo and also the whole song is rockin'. Real Hard Rock Pop stuff. :-) I guess that even these pop stars were inviting good players on their albums. 'Cause you know who plays guitar on this song? The master, Nuno Bettencourt!!! Yep, I read it just now. :-) I still keep 3 songs of this album on a tape which is NP and also the bass guitar is great. I don't know who he is but I bet he's also one of the top ones. Yep, Pop music was much better back in those days.

Can anyone explain >THAT to me?- Probably because they're factoring in probability. In this world, there are enough people living in it that it opens just about anything up to possibility. Therefore, I'm sure they are running on the probability that, given 10 billion people, 20 of those people will be stupid enough to buy one of those guitars. I also bet that if they even sell a single one, it will probably make up for the costs needed to create the entire line, so they won't lose anything. Then there's those people that will accidentally write in the wrong item id number and get sent one of these prizes by mistake. There's more than likely a no return policy in that event. Heheheh.

I dont know man.. i wouldnt care if there were gonna build 5 of them! I still wouldnt pay 40k for that guitar...well unless i was a billionaire or something..and i still doubt it..not because of the money..but because i dont like the guitar at all....theres so much a person can do with 40k...to be spending it on a gibson chet atkins.. On another note...guitarwise, i know a lot of people, including myself, hold ibanez as their guitar of choice, ( although id love to get my hands on a PRS ) , but MANY people just have an obsesion with gibson and lespauls, ..besides the wood thing, why are lespauls so coveted...since i dont know..but IMO they dont sound too great..(versatile?) and I find them very uncomfortable to play.... -- In the stream of consciousness There is a river crying Living comes much easier Once we admit , We're dying.

I actually started doing the hi-hat w/out the flams on the first set. I have to see when the flams come in, I wonder if it's possible to pull the first set off without overdubbing. I know the 16th notes in the second run are impossible to do while keeping the hi-hat going. I'm not even going to try. I just do the Timbale on that one. In any case, it's my fav song to play. Second now is Paradigm Shift of LTE. Awesome song! There are so many though, Take the Time, etc... I saw someone elses post, I believe it was Dave, and it read "nice to see some drum threads"! I agree whole heartedly. That's one of the biggest reasons I joined this mailing list. If anyone in the Northern Jersey area or even the city plays guitar or bass, let me know.
