I'm going to be living in the Portland area this summer and I'd like to find a local guitar teacher, preferably one who's into prog, of course. I've been playing for about a year now, but it's been kinda half-assed practice because classwork and programming sucks up all of my time. :P However, I plan to practice hard-core everyday this summer and I'd love to learn improvisation techniques, build up speed, accuracy, etc. and I think having a teacher would help a lot, even if it's only for once a week. Please let me know if you'd be able for lessons... Thanks!

I can say im influenced by John Petrucci, and theres no way that by listening to my guitar playing you will hear any similarities (although thats because i suck ass) Come into this night, Your plight alone Carry your weight, You are flawed as all of us Come into this night, You only home Itīs never too late, To repent, suffer the loss Opeth : Benighted Carlos Alfaro Internet Solutions Inc. mailto:email_address_removed mailto:email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 13:30:30 -0500 (CDT) From: Pat Griffin To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 5476 Message-ID: > YTSEJAM Digest 5476 > > Today's Topics: > > 1) Last free speech item for now... > 2) Re: Boycott > 3) Cliffs of Dover MIDI > 4) metal gods/dt doppleganger > 5) Ticket-raping agencies > 6) Ground Loops > 7) RE: For those of you show setup a trade with me... > 8) Re: YTSEJAM digest 5475 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The last digest was only 12k, and had only 8 posts to it.

By the way, a bit of news about Jordan Perlson, the new echolyn drummer/percussionist (Paul Ramsay is still with the band, and Ray Weston will be playing bass, if you were wondering)....he more or less has no "background", as he's of (if i read it correctly) high school age, and hooked up with the band because Chris Buzby is his HS music/band director. And he'll be with the band until only the end of August, when he takes off to attend some unguaranteed music school in Boston. I sent a few questions along to Chris Buzby, and when I get a chance I'll set up his and Brett Kull's (along with a couple of comment from mr. perlson) answers on a quick'n'dirty web page, and let y'all know....the final version will show up on http://www.amzmusiczine.com sometime in June....

I guess the ground lift on that amp lifts the complete amp from the ground. I guess it's a security issue. The Metal cover is usually connected directly to the ground. In case there goes something wrong and a powered thing inside touches the cover.... Other thing is that the devices (e.g. a computer and other microelectronics) are sensitive to electrostatic tensions (expr ?) from e.g. someone wearing wool-socks and a grounded cover protects it. Therefore I recommended another solution 'in the long run'.

Yes, the hum comes from voltage running across the ground line. If they are all connected to the same ground with low resistance (big wires) the loop is avoided. -dany -- Daniel Wannemacher 'And if I don't see you no more in this world, email_address_removed.de I'll meet you in the next one, http://on.to/dany But don't be late............' -J.H. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 18:39:08 -0800 (PST) From: David Peterson To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: News on The Gathering and Symphony X Message-ID: ]From www.metal-rules.com: THE GATHERING The new record is called If Then Else. The track listing is as follows: Rollercoaster, Shot To Pieces, Amity, Bad Movie Scene, The Colorado Incident, Beautiful War, Analog Park, Herbal Movement, Saturnine, Morphia's Waltz and Pathfinder. The band recorded the effort at studio S & K in Doetinchem, Holland and mixed it with Attie Bauw at Bauwhaus. The album is produced by The Gathering, with help from Zlaya Hadzich. It will be a rock orientated album! When asked about the new album, vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen had this to say: "The sound has changed again a bit but it is for the better I can tell you. The guitars are more rough, with an edge, and we experimented with effects on vocals, drums and bass. The songs are shorter, and the album itself is way shorter than How To Measure A Planet? We felt this should be a kick ass, in your face album, but there is also a good deal of trippy stuff on it." Here's the track listing from SYMPHONY X's upcoming album V: 'Prelude', 'Evolution (The Grand Design)', 'Fallen', 'Transcendence', 'Communion And The Oracle', 'The Bird-Serpent War/Cataclysm', 'On The Breath Of Poseidon', 'Egypt', 'Death Of Balance/Lacrymosa', 'Absence Of Light', 'A Fool's Paradise', 'Rediscovery', 'Rediscovery Pt. II - The New Mythology'. The album is called V, and its songs comprise a movement called The New Mythology Suite. It's due May 22nd in Japan and it's the first to feature new bassist Mike LePond.

Message-ID: like i said in the last jam (or earlier in this one), I sent a few questions along to Chris Buzby of echolyn and Finneus Gauge, and he was cool enough to pass them along to the rest of the band. The main bulk of questions/answers (in unedited state, includes my mistaken assumption that Jordan Perlson is the new bassist, rather than the percussionist he is) is available at http://www.umich.edu/~ahtrap/echolyn.html A couple of interesting followups with Chris (regarding Jordan Perlson), as well as his version of the messy (bloody?) Finneus Gauge split last year can be found at http://www.umich.edu/~ahtrap/echolyn2.html If you take a look, let me know what you think. Always receptive to feedback, and curious as to how many people will check it out (me and hit counters don't get along) Partha ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 21:32:04 PDT From: "Partha Mukhopadhyay" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: crimson glory question Message-ID: i seem to remember something about extra songs on the first album, but don't recall whether there was more stuff on the cassette version or the CD version. I have the CD, and if the extra songs are on the cassette, I'd appreciate someone identifying the tracks for me. (or, if mp3s are available for the live special edition versions of astronomica....)
