Just recently went back and bought a few albums I had skipped in the 90's. Living Colour Collidiscope.

On the iPhone so no links, but Joe Jackson:. Look Sharp! I think I've found some more baselines to learn!

This idea has been so awesome that I had my own idea. Ask BTMN about making a video documenting the trip. I made a separate thread so this one can remain focused on the travels of the Special.

Thanks looking forward to it if it happens

Are there any basses in the works?

Awestruck!

Thanks again. It started to make sense when I thought about the string skipping. I know I am sloppy with my picking and I think some of what I noticed was just me skipping strings easier going up rather than down.

Thanks. Will spend some time on this.

Yes, this. I think it is partly picking technique. Should the first pick be up or down?

Yea, I was struggling to explain. Say you start at the 3rd fret on the low e string. Do a scale G A# then 3rd fret a string C D, then d string, F G, g string A# C, b string D F, e string G A#. I am sloppy and slow going from low E string 3rd fret to high e string 6th fret. Going in the opposite direction, high e string back to low e string, much cleaner and faster.

Is there some technique or way I can learn to improve going from low e strings to the high e strings in the same fret area? Sliding up the neck and going to the higher strings is fluid and easy. Going from the high e to the low e across the same frets is easy. going from the low e to the high e in the same fret area is clumsy for me. Always has been. Could it be picking technique? Any ideas? Thanks

Pictures will help.

iPhones for the family. I got the iphone 6 with 64 gb and the rest of the ik multimedia amps for the iphone. My son got the 6 plus which is like a mini tablet for him, wife got a 16gb 6 and my daughter got the 5s with 32 gb. Happy kids. Nice to finally have a smart phone. None of us have had one till now.

Been a while since I worked on this one but here is a new version. Something Cover http://www.kirkpitts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Something-For-Julie-final-mix_-8_7_14-10.26-PM-1.mp3

Gene, Don't know for sure if I will be at the same school but you can come over and do a dual bill show with me!

Some Kids have a great teacher!! love it. I now wish I could play it next week at my GATI performance! Setlist that the other teachers will enjoy and a few the kids will like. They actually love We will rock you! Cars. Just what I needed, bye bye love Queen Crazy little thing called love, We will Rock you Cheap Trick I want you to want me Weezer Island in the sun maybe next year!

I've switched many times. I now play mostly 9's to be easier on my fingers.

And then staying after work... But seriously, get as much information about the costs and potential profits as you can.

The only thing missing to match my memories was various Led Zep albums listed as being played, Btw, you can go back again.

I never "got" KISS. But they were big with my friends. I liked a few songs. To me they were like the Ramones but faking it. ( I realize the Ramones were later and I loved the Ramones!). While the Ramones were honest root rock, KISS always seemed an act. Just my opinion.

Just want to say I was always a Winger Fan. Would love to see them one day. Even now.

This is sub-zero cool...

Good luck. Maybe someday I can place an order but it won't be on this run.

I was interested in the iloud also. I am curioius what you think of it. I have a $100 in Jam points that I could use to discount the iloud but I decided to get this: instead. Expedition Express from Samson. I listened to the iLoud once and it sounded pretty good but they guy at Guitar center didn't have much to play through it and I didn't have my iPod. The other thing that turned me away was the irig circuit. They have the irig hd now and I would prefer an iLoud with the irig hd built in rather than the older irig. The Expedition Express gave me similiar sound plus a three channel mixer with both xlr and standard inputs and also has the bluetooth connectivity. It is bigger but not so big that I can't use it for many of the same things and I can plug my ipad right in and use the irig I already have plus connect a good mic and rock out. so far very happy. I think I'll copy this over to a NGD post.
