hi guys... is there any youtube videos on this?

Sweet! i'll try it out.....

I'm working on the CAGED system, I've never tried learning scales before so this may be a daft question.... Starting position 1 is the G major, moving up to position 2, is that still G major but just played further up the neck?.... Guess by my question I'm trying to understand what the connection is between root notes and shapes..

... You will get no argument from me, I would love a nice les Paul standard.

On the bay I have watched a few go for a bag of sand but I would really like to play the one I plan to buy first plus I really can't pull the trigger on one until my playing is way better than it is now as I think les would turn in his grave if he heard me play :/ I suck!

My tascam arrived in the post today, came all the way from Hong Kong!

Has anybody on here who owns one find a good source of backing tracks for it? Or Any tips on using it..

... My Ibanez has a floating tremolo which I have never used.
The electrics used to buzz like crazy, even after improving grounding/shielding ect eventually, last year, I fitted a set of EMG's in her and took the Duncan Designed pup's out along with everything else, now she is sweet, its my shred rig ( for when I learn how to shred),

Recently took her to a local Luthier to set the bridge up as I was struggling to set the action correctly and he found a couple high frets around 12th so I had all the fret leveled and dressed, guess the guitar always had that problem but as I had my action set high I never noticed..

Yeah, I like the PRS's over the Epiphone just based on the look of the headstock ( don't like the design or something :/ ). A friend of mine owned an Epi years back and had issues with the frets so traded it in for a pacifica, also when he compared it to other makes of LP's he found the Epi to feel "clunky", his words. Maybe they have improved since then?

WOW! those carvins look awesome..

There are a lot of links to the past in Scotland, we have many stone circles, Cairns and carved marker stones. There are arrangements of stones that align with Ley lines and ones that mark the summer and winter solstice's, below are a few sights as examples..

We also have a lot of interesting sights on the surrounding islands too..

There are massive stone circles in Orkney and tombs that date before Christ and are as old as pyramids of Ancient Egypt.... http://www.maeshowe.co.uk/

A lot of these sights have been "studied" ( more like plundered! ) by the Victorians and the artifacts and clues to there meanings long gone, most of these places have been reasoned as nothing more than calenders for farmers and burial grounds for important Picts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picts .........but no one really knows.

I have visited all these sights and more as I find them fascinating, they speak an ancient language long forgot and are of a time when man connected with the natural and supernatural.

The Inverness area has had a couple interesting characters, the Brahn Seer predicted a lot of events that have come true http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/pbs/index.htm and some people ( mostly tourists )still believe in the lochness monster http://www.nessie.co.uk/.....

So maybe all these things brought Aleister Crowley to Scotland thinking it a good place to harness energies and practice black magic and for others curious to find out about such things to gravitate to Boleskine house ( and they still do ).

I haven't been up to house since going there years back when I was a kid to help my dad pick up that Rotorvator, for the record we had a reason to be there and we were invited. But I have been to the area around Boleskine at the lochs and woods, innocently enough, and have experienced things, you can feel a bad vibe there, kinda like a bad trip without the trip.

I don't know what your thoughts are on things like ghosts, U.F.O's, Ouija board's ect Pebber, a lot of folks good and bad experiences of these things can be attributed to being drunk or on LSD ect I wouldn't be sticking my neck out much by saying that there is more to life than what we can see and what we believe and a lot of people have experienced the weird while completely sober so I think an open mind is needed when dealing with these things.

I could tell you one of these ghost stories and although the story maybe be true, it would be just that, another story that unless it happened to you you wouldn't really believe it and i'd rather not give the place kudos. Suffice to say that anyone with any "good" sense should not go ghost hunting around there as I don't think even Alister Crowley was in full control of what he conjured up and he has definitely left an unwanted legacy that is real, it wouldn't surprise me if Page found the place too heavy and that was why he didn't spend too long there.

I have downloaded four free Iphone Metronomes from the app store and out of them three suck, mostly because they have crippled fuctionality to get you to buy the full version.

the one I use is called " Metro Timer " it's free, basic and has a one touch 1,2,3,4,5,10,15,20,30 minute countdown for your chosen BPM it will also flash the camera's flash to the beat, if you want.

This has been my first week using a metronome and it has been kicking my ass, I have set it to 50bpm and I am getting creamed, I though I had a good sense of timing but no, i suck :\

off topic, but, I live near Inverness which is near enough to Boleskin House and when I was a kid my father bought a garden rotorvator from Pages gardener, the closest I have ever been to guitar greatness has been pushing that piece of crap round my dads potato patch :/ ... for the record that Boleskin/Doors area ( of Inverness ) is most definitely dark and fuk'd up.

PM'd for your TAB's
