It actually seems > interesting, once I finish my guitar rig, I think I may invest in > one. Just wanted to give a little bit of insight. There are many different Stick configurations. The two most common are 10-string (5 bass strings and 5 melody strings) and 12-string (6 and 6). The bass strings are (in Standard Tuning) tuned in fifths, starting at the middle of the instrument, getting higher in pitch closer to the player. The melody strings are, like a guitar, tuned in 4ths going away from the player. The action is set up so that you can make a note just by tapping on the instrument -- plucking, strumming, etc., isn't necessary. This allows you to make notes with both hands at the same time. It feels something akin to playing a string piano. My band's going into the studio in a couple of weeks, to record three songs. When we're done, you'll be able to hear my 10-string Stick on one of them.

If the main part of putting this stuff out through the >record company, wouldn't sales be a big issue involved in the decision? >If so, then why would they make it exclusively a DVD thing? Yeah, I was a little confused at this too. I actually asked him if it would be DVD -and- VHS, and he said DVD only, so make of that what you will. I think maybe it's a way for the band and the label to put something out for the fans that's more "limited edition" in a way. I mean, Elektra probably wouldn't run off 500,000 copies of the thing. It'd be a special, small run release, hence exclusively on DVD. That's just my guess anyway. Drew __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Message-ID: Hey JAMmers, On the last JAM Dave listed his top 5 list for most talented musicians. While I agree with him for the most part, I was quite disappointed to see that he forgot about Tom Petty. I mean how can you overlook an artist rolling joints in a Mad Hatter's outfit, having tea with Alice,and dancing with Mary Jane all while running down a dream. Seriously though, Springsteen, Melencamp, Petty, and the rest of the singer/songwriters actually are very talented in the sense that they write little miniature operas (stories set to music) How many modern storytellers do you know with people walking around re-telling their stories in their heads.(ever get a Stephen Kng short story stuck in you head) Yet singer/songwriters can tell stories. get a point across, or record history while at the same time entertaining shitloads of people, even if most JAMmers disagree. $ & #'s don't lie! NOW I don't really care for any of it myself, most of the music is too simple to the point of being boring. but I do recognise the talent in the respective genres of music (besides isn't being progressive about being open minded) BTW Willie Nelson is without doubt one of the most talented somgwriters in his field for all time, and if anyone cares to check out his biography they'll probably agree.( I saw it on VH1's Legends) but then it could be that I'm from TN. and have been exposed to too much country music:-) Any way I think I'll take a nap now .

ROFL! I was kind of skeptical about ever treating myself to that movie in this lifetime, but that seals it. I might have to go fork up $6 to see it this weekend. :) There's nothing like rotten vaudeville comedy to make me lmao. But then, I'm such a bigot, I'd go watch any movie named "I Hate W*ps, D*kes, N*ggers, K*kes, Cr*ckers, Sp*cs, and Jews." But then, if I want that, I can always watch All in the Family, then, eh? :) -- KorgX3 sees you sitting in his chair and kicks your ass. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2000 20:54:27 GMT From: "chahram riazi" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: DT DVD Message-ID: >- They're also going to see if they can get a DVD out with both Live >in >Tokyo >and 5 Years in a Livetime on the same disc. .This might be interesting for those who own neither of those videos but it is a let-down for the rest of us. I always fantasized that the ideal 5YIALT DVD would have to include: -The complete Paris show (3 hours). -The complete unplugged in Rotterdam show (2 hours). -The Ronnie Scott show (1.5 hours?). I was going to include the Awake PPV show but that show is widely available as a bootleg (though I don't have it), and the TV station would probably ask for royalties. The maximum DVD capacity is 6 hours so the above is not impossible.

Use whatever period of time you have to practice technique and divide it up into segments. You mentioned you'll have about an hour, so what I would do is this... 10 minutes of legato fragments 10 minutes of trill exercises 10 minutes of picking fragments 10 minutes of scale/chromatic exercises (to a metronome) 10 minutes sweep picking fragments 10 minutes string skipping fragments Right there, you've taken an hour of time and divided it up to focus on the specific groups. You don't have to go in this order.. I often start with just picking exercises as I find them the most simple. Then, when I know my hands are warmed up I'll move onto legato. After legato my hands are sore as hell, so then I move to sweep picking which is delicate. The important thing is to !FOCUS! on everything you do. Using a half-ass approach will cut your results in half. If you play consistantly with focus for just an hour a day, not only will you keep your chops up, but they will continue to improve. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 22:36:23 -0400 From: Dan Costello To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: caddyshack Message-ID: >Up until I saw Caddyshack this morning I had no idea where that quote was >coming from. dude, you JUST saw Caddyshack?!?

Let's see what bands are represented: Creed, Blink 182, 3d Eye Blind, Bush, Limp Bizkit, Everclear, Korn, Godsmack, 311, Foo Fighters, Eve 6. Wow, I'm impressed, it's been a while since I've seen such a huge congregation of crap (creed's ok)! What's it say about the mentality of todays' guitar players when you've got to put Everclear in your ad in order to sell records. "Hey everybody, shuck out 3 grand for our amps so you can sound like the 1 riff wonder" Pg 23 - Top 10 Ozzy Riffs - pretty cool. pg 33 - Blues lessons pg 50 - Electric Blueprint - woah - who's familiar goateed face is it that I see??? Why, it's none other than JP. For all those who were crying "overkill" when you saw JP's 6 cabs, it turns out the middle 2 are his dry signal, while the outer pairs are for his stereo wet signal. And then there's those 31 different rack mounted...uh...things...how anybody keeps all this stuff straight is beyond me. 8-)b Then "Silent Lucidity" tab and some good columns in the back. -Dan. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
