Petition started for more Petrucci/Rudess!! Message-ID: I am starting an email campaign for Warner Bros. Publisher, Keyboard Magazine, Guitar World, and Guitar One. All this information is available at http://www.snowhill.com/~bvaughn/petrucci.htm . Click on the news section. Dream Theater has released one of their best albums ever, and hardly any publication company is giving them notice. I have spoken to some of the guys in the band about this, and they are surprised as well. I think this trend needs to stop now. I am asking that you send an email to each one of these companies, kindly asking that they do a cover story on the respective member of Dream Theater. Even if you only play drums, keyboard, bass, ... or just sing! .... please take the time and email these people. The more people we can get to write, the better we can get the Dream Theater name back out in the public. Specifically: 1. Email Warner Bros. Publishing ( email_address_removed ). Make sure to put in the subject line or main message of the body: ATTENTION: Larry Kornblum. Warner Bros. has always been good about putting out TAB books for John Petrucci. But I think it is about time that they publish some keyboard transcriptions as well. I believe they have talked this over with Jordan Rudess, but they are not sure if there is enough interest. Please email them and nicely ask that they publish some keyboard transcriptions for Dream Theater (either a selection from different albums, or whole albums (my choice)). Also, ask that they make an instructional video with Jordan Rudess. Warner Brothers has some of the rudest people I've ever talked to on the phone. Everytime I have made contact with them, I have been ill-treated. The above email address is the best I can do so far. If I find a better one, I'll let you know. So when you write, be nice, but firm that they send this email to the proper person in charge (who should be Larry Kornblum). 2. Email Keyboard Magazine ( email_address_removed; email_address_removed ). The editor is Greg Rule. Kindly ask that they do a cover story on Jordan Rudess and progressive keyboarding in the new millenium. Ask if they will do a private lesson to also include in the magazine. My sane partner, Brandon Vaughn, recently did an outstanding 45-minute interview with Jordan in Orlando. His interview contains answers to such questions as: descriptions on how Dream Theater writes songs and solos; how to remember complex arrangements; practice regimen; constructing solos; arpeggio technique; etc. He also has several pictures of his stage setup. I think Brandon's interview would be great in Keyboard. If you think so, ask that Keyboard consider running his interview and contact him at email_address_removed . 3. Email Guitar World ( email_address_removed; email_address_removed; email_address_removed ). Alan Paul is their editor. Guitar World has run 2 songs by Dream Theater in the past, and a whole bunch of lessons by John that are to included in a new book soon to be released. Write them and kindly ask that they do a cover story on John Petrucci with a song transcription. Mention that a small side article that goes into his current equipment setup in detail would be nice as well. Also ask that they bring John back on as a columist. 4. Email Guitar One ( email_address_removed ). The Editor-in-Chief is Jeff Schroedl. Guitar One (formerly Guitar) has run several great articles on John, with transcriptions. But nothing for this awesome album. Write them and kindly ask that they do a cover story on John Petrucci with a song transcription. Also ask that they do a small side article that goes into his current equipment setup in detail. After doing this, please go to http://www.snowhill.com/~bvaughn/petrucci.htm and go to the news section. At the bottom, you will see a form to fill out so I can compile all the names and send a master list to the proper people at each company (a double dose!). Thanks for your help in this matter!

I have problems "catching the sound, the vibe" of a certain scale. I was told it is very used in jazz, that even some famous jazz guitarists (Scofield, ..) play whole 30 minutes jams only in this scale, so it is very, very popular jazz scale. But I can't get it, boil it, it sounds odd. Does anyone know a specific song, solo which uses this scale, so that I can hear it and see how does it sound. The scale is called "C melodic" (I guess this is the correct traslation) and it's same as C major except for the flatted third (instead of E there is D#): C D D# F G A B C I was also told soloing in this scale is possible over the B b7#9 chord (ya know, that Hendrix chord) but to me it seems .... ugggh, ... weird. song, mp3, snippet, anything? Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 05:30:20 -0800 (PST) From: Babs To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 5399 Message-ID: In response to someone's question about the Gathering: Go out and buy whatever you can immediately! Honest. I ordered Mandylion and Nightime Birds through amazon and am totally blown away by their sound. Her voice is absolutely amazing and I don't usually care for female singers (for as much as I enjoy Tori, she often will get on my nerves after a while) where Anneke's voice is just fantastic. I can honestly say when I heard a few snip-its of the Gathering I wasn't quite sold on them, but trust me these disks are amazing.

Yes. Tony is currently touring with the California Guitar Trio composed of former League of Crafty Guitarists members. They may even hit Tennessee if you're lucky. Tony should have a tour schedule on his site. Plus, he's just released a live recording of his and Bruford's project B.L.U.E.

Yea, I agree. Since you already ripped of a DT line with your first name, how about "First Dancing Turtle"? And I've always liked "Alleged Head".

All this is is a melodic minor scale, and in fact, there is another part to it that you haven't included: The scale is the same as a natural minor scale, except that it has a raised sixth and seventh scale degree (in this case, A and B). But when it comes back, it is EXACTLY the same as a natural minor scale. So the scale goes like this: C D Eb F G A B C Bb Ab G F Eb D C Sorry I don't have any musical examples for you, but I thought I'd post this anyway and give a little explanation behind it. It's actually a classically-used scale as well, although not in soloing :) ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh email_address_removed http://cout.dhs.org/ Cloak on IRC ICQ: 2513441 ------------------------------------------------- "Never trust a spiritual leader who can't dance." - Mr. Miyagi ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 11:22:18 -0500 (EST) From: Andrew Coutermarsh To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Through her Eyes and American-European relations Message-ID: On Tue, 21 Mar 2000 email_address_removed wrote: > Can any Europeans help an American obtain the Through her Eyes single? > If so please e-mail me privately....thanks !
