  1. I had hoped to make a video history but life got in the way. Maybe I will post some of what I had going. The photobucket change really fucked up my plans. Oh well, This is a great story.
  2. Just recently went back and bought a few albums I had skipped in the 90's. Living Colour Collidiscope.
  3. On the iPhone so no links, but Joe Jackson:. Look Sharp! I think I've found some more baselines to learn!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Yes, this. I think it is partly picking technique. Should the first pick be up or down?
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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!
  12. 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!
  13. I've switched many times. I now play mostly 9's to be easier on my fingers.
  14. And then staying after work... But seriously, get as much information about the costs and potential profits as you can.
  15. The only thing missing to match my memories was various Led Zep albums listed as being played, Btw, you can go back again.
  16. 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.
