Don't know about that rumor however I did hear Tom Petty comment on the songs
in an interview saying that he thinks that he just likes to make them very 
simple.  The more simple the song the better it seems to be.  He gave 
'Free Falling' as the example for it is entirely based on the 'D' cord played in
three different configurations.  ie. 'D' 'G/D' 'A/D'.  He claimed that it was 
probably his favorite song.

chords are:
Verse
 Am D F G
Chorus
 C Am F C
The Edge does indeed tune to Eb in general, so I imagine that this is done here
as well, but I haven't play along with the album to prove it. But the man
wailed on Monday night here in Houston.

And one final personal note: everybody's been saying that you have to learn
chords before you can learn leads, you have to walk before you can run. Good
advice. I have a question, though: I've been walking for 3 years now. Why can't
I get up at least a brisk jog? Still, I guess I am pretty good with rhythm. Of
course, who am I to judge?

I am damn sure that there are people out there who have built guitar amps
....why dont they share that with us?

Bill, why are tube amps so expensive? is it the sheer amount of parts that
hikes the price way up? or is it just certain components ie. the valves 
themselves.  One other thing....the 'tube amp book'...do you have the authors

Well, it doesn't exactly go with anything.  If you cross a diminished chord
with an augmented chord, you get a demented chord.  A diminished *chord* is
one in which, starting with a "standard" major triad, the 3rd and 5th are
reduced by 1/2 tone.  This gives you intervals of 1-1/2 tones between each
degree, and you can complet the "pattern" by adding the 6th.  Voila, every
1-1/2 tones, which repeats at the octave.  I don't know what you'd mean by
a diminished *scale*, except perhaps one that starts with a diatonic scale
but has the 3rd and 5th lowered.  What you'd do with the other degrees, I
guess I have no idea.  duhh...you'd need the 6th maybe, probably keep the
2nd as is, maybe drop the 4th, and screw the 7th.

Greetings!
I have been using the Zoom 9002 advanced signal effects processor (Zoom corp)
both for live and home recording. Great gadget! I have a problem though: For
a crunchy lead sound i use pretty much distortion and some compression. The
sound is OK but there's an annoying hum, that can be very irritating when
coming amplified through our PA system. I've tried to minimize it with Zoom's
built-in equalizer, without any success worth mentioning. Guitar with
humbuckers allowed the use of 'low gain' switch, but this didn't help enough.
Can anyone suggest some remedy? Noise gate? I sent an inquiry to Zoom corp.
but they didn't reply.

I'm very interested in this amp.  I should specify that I'm looking into the Hi
gain dual reverb, not the master volume model.  I'd like to know from owners of
this amp or similar amps in the series:

1. How reliable is it?
2. What is a reasonable price?  I've seen from $900 to $950, but this seems a
little high--Is $800 or so too low?
3. Should I just save the money and tube hassles and go with a Valvestate?
4. How versatile have people found it to be?
5. Does the shared EQ pose any problems in getting a crisp, warm clean sound
and a round, mid--rangey distorto sound without adjustment?
6. How loud is a Marshall 50 watter?  (Something you can't really test in a
store!)

I'm looking for answers from experienced, knowledged users, not some joe that
walked into a store and heard someone jamming on this amp.  Thanks y'all.

Depends on the headphones, although the built in amp is weaker than that
old ear bleeder rockman. 

I use the Zoom with Sony MDR-CD6 cans (not MDR-V6, although they may be
okay too), and the Zoom can crank. Also,on a rock tone, try boosting the
sound at around 1.5kHertz through the board. I have found that the less
distortion and compression the more the tone cuts. Even though the rock
tone with the dist/comp turned way up is totally cranking solo, it can
tend to eat itself when mixed with a rhythm section. Interestingly, I
get the best cut with a Strat using Duncan Alnico single coil pickups,
even though my humbucker guitars sound much heavier played solo.

How about the first inversion of A, or an A 3 over 6, if you like piano
theory (I really don't know anything about the piano, but I did learn
inversions).

Just another way of saying this chord.  I would also say A with a C# bass,
depending on the mood I am in.

Response to basses:

1. Alvarez--Villain ($600)
	Never heard of
2. Bass Collection--SB-301 ($499)
	I heard that BC's are great for the money.  Can anyone back this?
3. Epiphone--EBM-4 ($579)
	Didn't like the feel of either the 4 or 5 string models
4. Fender--JP-90 ($500)
	DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!  These things really suck bad.  Buy a used
	fender for less.
5. Honer--JJ BASS ($550)
	I like these basses a lot.  The Jack basses with the smooth wood
	finish are wonderful to play.  These guys are making good basses
	for the money.
6. Ibanez--EXB404 ($400)
	Decent bass, but for personal preference, I didn't like the pointy
	cutaways...
7. Jackson--Concert Bass Special ($495)
	Never heard of
8. Jerry Jones--Longhorn Bass 4 ($595
	ditto
9. Peavey--B-Ninety ($500)
	Also a good bass, but save your money for the Paladeum by Jeff Berlin
10. Samick--YB639 ($500)
	I dont trust it
11. Series 10--Master ($469)
	Ick.  Don't waste your well earned cash on a cool paint job
	and a bad fretboard.
12. Squire--H.M. IV ($410)
	I've never actually played one, but I can sort of live with
	Squires; just be careful.
13. Stinger-- SBL ($425)
	No.
14. Yamaha-- RBX550 ($599)
	They're not bad.

If you're looking for cheap ...uh... inexpensive basses, here are other
options...

GTX -- unbelieveable quality for a bass under $300 new.  The pickups 
could be better, but when you're starting, who cares?

Music Man -- They do have some models under $700, but you have to look
around.  This bass is quickly becoming the standard.

A good used bass! -- Look for a decent name, spend less money, own a bass 
w/ character, take it to a local guitar tech and get it set up, buy new
strings and play whatever you feel like!

Thoroughbred has one of the biggest and best departments to deal with, so
check with them if you're really set on new equipment.

Agree on all three counts! Especially the straight acoustic sound, not
rich enough stemming from the damping effects of the composite body (the
very thing that makes them so durable).

 For those who want to build just a practice amp, I built about a 12 watt
amp from a Radio Shack IC. The circuit schematic was included with the
chip. I built for pretty cheap and get a super-noiseless, clean amp. I use
an Ibanez TubeScreamer Classic for a preamp/distortion.
 There are usually op-amp powered circuit's schematics in those 
books that have 101 electronic projects/schematics. I'd only recommend
this route for those who know about power supplies, grounding, heat
sinks, etc. Also you need to be a competent solderer (sp?). Otherwise,
you won't end up with a quality product and wasting your money.
 It also helps if you do some woodworking to make a cabinet. I'm
gonna try to build another one this summer (maybe) and add more
controls (more filters ---> tone controls), etc.

Well, i may be biased because i had a classical teacher for a semester, but the only place i can even think of putting a thumb is in the middle of the back. it may be difficult at first. just do alot of stretching exercises and the stanima will increase. BTW, if you want to help your speed, try using your thumb to "lead" your hand up and down the neck.
