[QUOTE=kurrptsenate]whats going on Happy?[/QUOTE]
Nothing much, just writing a minimalism piece for school and taking pictures of my CDs for Graphics.

You back at work right? Was it you they gave like 3 days off?

nah, i normally just get the weekends off.


My work gave us all off Monday. Not too bad of a day. Girl was menstruating, so thats not cool :lol:

We've got a foot of snow up here and growing. Too bad I'm not in high school anymore. :(

Send me some please.

I go back to school on Thursday :) But I think that's only because its all the way across the country.

I go back next monday :cool:

I'm getting all worried now though, I've got a guitar competition at the end of the month that I was planning on playing 'Altitudes' by Jason Becker for. The problem is that I'd planned on practicing alot over the holidays but I've barely even touched my guitar, so I'm going to have a busy few weeks :(

Haha, I have the same problem. Only with YTSE Jam. It's easier than Becker though.

I need it to hold off from snowing until I have to go back to school. There's nothing I hate more than driving in inclement weather conditions.

that solo is FUKKED up.


Im sure the fretting patterns arent that hard, its the 220 bpm @ 16ths that scares the bejesus outta me

Hey, I haven't been around for a while so don't pile on if I'm asking an old-news question...

but why is Bartender no longer a mod?

Try learning John Coltrane's solo on Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk."

That's just 16ths at 154 bpm, but the intervals and phrases he uses just makes it beyond impossible.

[QUOTE=Cain]Hey, I haven't been around for a while so don't pile on if I'm asking an old-news question...

I have no clue, my guess would be how rarely he's ever on lately.

Who, Bartender's not a mod anymore?

...Jom4mod@R&M

Jom is such a whiner though mang, he wouldn't make a good mod!!!!1

[QUOTE=Happy]Haha, I have the same problem. Only with YTSE Jam. It's easier than Becker though.[/QUOTE]The solo is still a bitch though.

[QUOTE=Cain]Hey, I haven't been around for a while so don't pile on if I'm asking an old-news question...

EDIT: upon examination, it doesnt look like any hard stretches or anything. The only thing that might take a bit are the finger rolls. I hate those fukkers

I'm a bit more concerned with the position changes. And yeah, those nimble arpeggiations are friggin' ridonkulus.

Listen to the recording. It's just blah, makes me wonder why I would even try. At the very least, you'll never be able to cop Coltrane's feel, as he plays all his phrases legato whereas the arrangement for guitar neccessitates some form of alternate picking, unless you're Stanley Jordan.

I move into my dorm on friday :cool:

I hope I haven't been wrong all this time.

good point..


i mean it DOES look like a solo the whole song, but to get it up to speed wouldnt be the problem. It would be the feel, as you stated, that would take the longest

For those asking about Bartender:

He hasn't been restored back to supermod after Chad got a hold of his account. As a result, he hasn't been on AIM and MSN. Also, he has finals after the holiday, so he's studying for those. mx just needs to e-mail him his new credentials before he can be restored. If not mx, then DBJ can do it... but since he hasn't been on IM programs lately, he hasn't been restored yet.

He'll be back, like Ye Olde Ah-nold.

/Mythbuster++

No, Coltrane did play sax, but his solo is arranged for guitar in Guitar One this month. :p They do that sort of thing sometimes.

The fact that phrases like that are done so easily and fluidly on the sax makes reproducing the solo a waste of time on guitar: I can only see it as a study of jazz/blues theory and phrasing/note choices. That was my point. Those phrases are impossible to get on guitar the way Coltrane does it on sax.
