Sorry I'm not a good source for Django recordings, I've got a tape
of a friends record and don't remember the title.  If you get any of
his stuff you'll probably be pleased.  Maybe someone else out here
in NetLand will be able to help.  Good Luck.

Would like the lyrics for this song.  The copy I have on tape is very old and

would be appreciated.  Also, would like chords too if you have them so I can 
compare to what I am using.

I think having them together is a good idea because the blues is very related to
jazz. To draw the line between blues and jazz for someone like Billy Holliday
would be impossible. Many jazz listeners enjoy both and don't readily distinguish between the two of them. The differences between  Miles and Muddy are often not that marked.[B

The problem[B[Cwith many guitarists is that they think blues ends at people like
guitarists like Muddy and BB. Thing is that it bleeds over into other areas.
The best thing is to get into jazz and that doesn't mean jazz guitarists but
The best thing is to get into jazz as well, and that doesn't mean just jazz guitarists,
all jazz because it really opens up your playing even more.

Hi all,

transcription of "Layla" that Eric Clapton played on his visit on the MTV

My understanding is that this is done only with cheap guitars.
It's a shame too, cuz most people in such situations almost never use
the first and second frets (might as well use a shorter guitar) and
have a terrible time tuning.

i've never heard mr. buckethead but he gets a significant amount
of press in the san francisco bay area.  he wears something on 
his face like the halloween guy, michael meyers.  a reviewer
said that he felt he was kind of relieved in the knowledge that
no matter how good he got, he would never be as good as buckethead.

people who've heard him said his style is something like a van
halen style but different.  i think he might have been signed
but doesnt have an album yet.  might have gone down to the l.a.
area.  's all i know.

His real name is Brian Carroll.  He apparently performs like he looks in those
pics in GP, with pancake makeup and a bucket on his head.  I saw an article on
him in another mag, so I guess he has something coming out soon (mags don't
give anybot press unless a new biscuit is rolling off the presses).  

I do have a CD by Henry Kaiser where he guests on one track.  It's totally
fucked, IMHO.  Super fast playing with lots of dissonance.  I would suspect
he's an absurdist version of Joe Satriani.

     It's just a different inversion. You haven't really dropped the root,
you've just moved it up and octave (or, moved the 3rd and 5th down an octave).

i had the pleasure of visiting the kalamazoo plant in 1983, shortly
before it was shut down aND SOLD OFF BY GIBSON.  AT THAT POINT, THE OLD
ORIGINAL PARSONS STREET BUILDING, A VERY INCONSPICUOUS LITTLE EDIFICE,
WAS THE ONLY FUNCTIONING PART OF WHAT HAD BEEN A FAIRLY BIG SETUP.  ONE
OF THE GUYS AT THE FACTORY WALKED ME THROUGH THE SEGMENT THAT HAD BEEN
BUILT DURING THE HEYDAY OF "folk" guitars in the early 60's, and it was
just an ocean of barren offices and plant space.  the main building
itself, the old one, was a guitar player's wet dream come true.  during
the last few years of gibson operation there, the kalamazoo plant
handled the custom orders and the obscure semi- acoustics, as well as
repairs to these.  strolling through the plant, i saw ancient carved-top
roundhole guitars, harp-guitars, lloyd loar mandolins to make your toes
curl in sympathy, incredible double-necks, and that ridiculous u.s.-map
shaped solid-body they used in ads (oy!, watch out for florida! macho
poses can render you very **un**-macho very quickly!).  the floors were
well-worn wood, the machinery timeless. after my trip there (met the
former president of gibson, a mr. mccarty who moved on to bigsby, a mile
the other side of the interstate), i understand whythe craftspeople who
had worked for gibson there called their company "heritage" guitars.
these folks are sitting in the same place, walking on the spit of
orville gibson and lloyd loar, smelling the shavings fromsome of the
greatest guitars in history, every day.  nice work, if you can get it,
eh? (traditional canuck salutation and interrogative).

	The technice I would use for the 1st finger is to kind roll your
finger tip up to the second srting, off the first string. If yo do it just
right, the fleshy part of yo finger will deaden the note. To play the
last note on the first string, just roll your finger back down, deadening
the note on the second string with the finger tip.

In the most recent _Scientific_American_, there is an article about the

Yes there are many of these.  Most use Digital Signal Processing(DSP)
to get this and just about any other effect.  Go to a Music store 
and check out the equipment.  One of the Digital boxes can do many effects
while keeping the sound quality pretty clean.  Some people are adamantly
against Digital effects of any kind but I've found most of these boxes
provide more diversity and sound purity for the bucks.  

Although I use effects I still agree that you cannot get a better sound
than plugging straight into the AMP.  Getting a great Natural reverb, i.e.
a large room, just isn't cost effective when your playing at home.

Subject: Another plea for pedal-mods
Organization: The University of New Brunswick
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1992 17:38:38 GMT

Some time ago, I put out a request for people who had modified existing
effects units or amps or guitars to submit their mods to alt.guitar.  I
received one personal reply, and I think the person posted it, but that
was it.

If YOU have altered any of your gadgets in some hardware manner, e.g.,
by changing a chip or a tube or a resistor value or adding a control
where there used to be just a resistor, let us know.  Most commercially
available boxes have only a fraction of their potential accessed by
existing controls, and have a lot more hiding underneath.

Have you: - "cleaned up" a distortion box to improve the noise or gain?
- changed a compressor/limiter so that the attack time better suits your
instrument, or has more high end?  - gotten wierder sounds out of your
flanger or phaser?  - rigged your digital delay box to be a high-quality
chorus?  - gotten a mono box to generate a stereo output?

The list goes on and on.  This pertains not only to existing commercial
boxes (DOD, Boss, etc.) but the "classics" as well; Electro-Harmonix,
MXR, Morley, HEATHKIT!, Echoplex, Maestro, etc.

Many magazines that I have subscribed to over the years have had
modification articles for specific products, and generic articles
about how certain products work that ended up giving you ideas.

Share these with the rest of us.  Ultimately, it may make that wierd
dunno-what-the-hell-it-is-$25-pawn-shop-wonder-box seem a lot more
interesting and useful.  It can also help you get unique sounds that can
become your signature.

C'mon, cough em up!

I had a chance to actually visit on of the three Carvin
stores when I visited CA in Jan.  I was uniformly impressed
by both the instruments and the electronic, especially
the instruments. The guitars and basses I tried were just
wonderful to hold, play, and they sounded great.  The
prices were surprisingly low for the level of quality
offered! 

A friend just purchased the 2x12 non-tube guitar amp.  It
seems fine for a non-tube amp ;-)

I'm looking forward to owning one of the tung-oiled wood
6-strings as soon as I can afford to!

I don't know...that's not quite true.  In fact, both I and "bc" have
posted blues-related postings/questions to rec.music.bluenote since
this discussion that rec.music.bluenote doesn't cut it was brought up.
There was no response to either of our postings.  Granted, that's only
2 articles, but I have a hunch that they weren't responded to because
bluesy people don't read rec.music.bluenote.  Whether a new group
should be created to take care of us, or whether people should be
made aware of rec.music.bluenote, it's hard to say.  I think that
either would solve everyone's problem with the way things are.

--stephen

Oh, and a problem that I do have with rec.music.bluenote is that
the discussion doesn't seem (and I use the word seem) to involve
any talk of how to play/write blues music.  I think that's why
this discussion sprung up on alt.guitar, because I think that people
want a group to discuss the blues from a musician's perspective.

P.S.  I'm going to go post some BLUES articles on rec.music.bluenote.
Beware of the consequences.

Well, it's nice to hear that you have *credentials* for goodness sake.
All I know is I subscribed to bluenote, then unsubscribed because there
was virtually no blues content.

Blues is not jazz.  I like both, but for years I liked blues a ton and
hated jazz.  I think there *should* be a separate group for blues, and
that you should take your desire to eternally be "the guy who created
the blues group" and shove it.
