edlib Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 Do you ever listen to Steve Morse, Ike? He's very similar in a lot of ways. He's probably my favorite guitarist of all time, (outside of my dad.) His offical site: http://www.stevemorse.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikhnaton Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 which songs should i listen to first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 Try the samples here: http://www.guitar9.com/hightensionwires.html This is my favorite of his solo records. http://www.guitar9.com/dregsoftheearth.html This is my favorite of his work with The Dixie Dregs (aka: The Dregs) My favorite tracks are: Ghostwind Highland Wedding Hereafter The Great Spectacular Day 444 Kat Food Odyssey You can find samples of all of these titles on that site. It's too bad they are so short, but this should give you a taste anyway. He has also played with Kansas, and is currently filling the Richie Blackmore spot in Deep Purple. It's mostly instrumental stuff, although there are a few vocal tracks mixed in once in a while. His classical guitar playing is fabulous (unfortunately under-represented by the samples on this site,) and that influence carries over into his other stuff.

Jem Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Cool, I've listened to some of Steve Morse's music and they're awesome. I especially like his acoustic work such as Go For Baroque and High Tension Wires. I will listen to more at tell you how my opinion evolves... I like Tumini Notes too. By the way edlib, what do you think of the Bowed Guitar ? I think it sounds pretty cool. I wonder how much they cost. My bet is in the expensive level because I'm sure there's very few of them and are probably only made when ordered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 There's a guy around Boston that does something very similar, although he calls it the "Viotar" Wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Weird... Remember, the golden rule of "I before E Except after C Or when it sounds like an A as in "neighbor" and "weigh"" has few exception such as "seize", "surfeit" or "weird". That is all.

edlib Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 Yup. But remembering that rule doesn't help my touch-typing at all, which is atrocious. Especially when I'm typing something in a hurry, like I was eariler, and post without giving it a second look-over. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 uhu. I guess correct spelling and grammar is the last thing you worry about when you chat or leave messages on the net. That's why there's guys like the one who's responsible for http://www.freespeling.com (with one l) who are on a crusade to try and change or "upgrade" what is now known as English. By the way, about freaky weird looking guitars, check these out: http://home.earthlink.net/~bujin/tritar.html http://home.earthlink.net/~bujin/Viotar.html And I wonder how the hell you're suppose to handle these: http://www.cag.lcs.mit.edu/~diego/guitars.html But I guess you've seen those from the last link since they're exposed in the Museum Of Fine Arts in Boston. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 The MFA guitar exhibit ended a while back. It was incredible. I'm not sure if they still have any of these on display. They might have a few. Rick Nielsen ALWAYS has the best guitars! Cheap Trick RULES! http://www.cheaptrick.com/guitars1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyan Farlander Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Man, GonkH8er's on the XWA boards? This is different. Anyway, I thought he was a professional musician or sound guy or something like that, so he must be fairly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by Keyan Farlander Anyway, I thought he was a professional musician or sound guy or something like that, so he must be fairly good. Are you talkin' bout me?!?? Good? I don't really think so. But then I wouldn't be much of a musician if I didn't see constant room for improvement (in this case MUCH improvement.) I'm not really a professional musician. I tend to call myself a "Semi-Pro" simply because I have been in situations where I have been payed for my playing, but never enough to really call it a career (unlike my dad, who has been professional since he was a kid, and has never held a day job.) I guess that I can't even really call myself that anymore, since I haven't done any playing outside of my house for a couple of years now and I'm seriously out of practice at this point. Perhaps I should downgrade to "Experienced Amateur" or something like that... Both Jem and Nitro can truly give you a better sense of the quality of my playing, since they both have a copy of a rather amusing CD that I recorded with a couple of friends one afternoon just jamming in the studio. Perhaps one of them will grace us with a review at some point. Right now I'm working as a house sound engineer and stage-manager of Berklee College Of Music's (in Boston) main concert venue, (website: http://berkleebpc.com/default.html) as well as partly overseeing the operation and maintenance of the school's other, smaller recital halls. We do over 1200 shows a year,.. everything from student solo piano recitals to faculty led big bands to full-on 3-semi national tours. I also occasionally do some freelance work around town at various clubs and halls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
