Thin lizzy - still in love with you (first solo)
Silent within solo is soo well phrased, especially the whammy bit

my fav has to be Tender surrender, the way the distorted guitar comes in blows me away, its like here i am, make of me what you will...

it makes a huge difference on my VWH, i put tissue in between the srpings and some white cloth over the top for extra padding, before i did this i could hear the springs and i had unwanted humming through my amp

If you think Whispering was good on the Astoria DVD then you HAVE to see/hear it live.. i watched Steve play it in June at a G3 gig and it was by far the highlight, when he Went into the melody an octave higher with all the band joining and the lights coming on it was amazing, it really sent a shive...

i though warm regards might not have been played on a jem.. not just because of the warmness in the melody, but after Steve plays the melody high up the neck with bends and a hell of a lot of feeling he drops down a bit and plays a few notes with pinch harmonics which sound much dirtier than they wo...

i saw Steve play evo in june, he used it on Juice, The reaper, and FTLOG.. he's obviously very attached to it but its pretty much done.. by the end of a song its out of tune without much whammy abuse.

well, me and strat101 went to G3 last nite and although i really wanted to enjoy fripps performance it was a dissapointment.

Tender Surrender.

ive been working hard on my relative pitch for half a year now, and its one of the best things ive done musically.. i'd rather have a good relative pitch for compositional reasons.. people say perfect pitch cant be learned but personally i think thats untrue, i think some people are born with a grea...

I have a white strat named 'Fatty' a green Squire strat named 'Spring' and a Black RG named 'Thor'

Fatty because its fat
Spring because its green
And Thor after the god because its big and dark

right on- practice by ear as much as you work on technical exercises of learning songs, although ive only been ear training for a few months its proved invaluable to me...im finding i dont have to look at a piece of music all of the time, i can hear whats happening! try starting with Solfege
