This guy blew my mind when I heard him for the first time. I couldn't even begin
to imaging how he did what he did. Then I saw him on the movie "Blind Date" with
Bruce Willis/Kim Basinger(?). He started off playing classical piano about age 9
or 10 I think, then picked up a guitar and just transfered everything across. He
tunes to fourths apparently.

For all that I know you may be right if it is Keith Moon. I am sorry about

As far as the source is concerned, I cannot trace it further than the memory

In particular, I've been considering ordering from Musician's Friend. Any

Yes...I've read the books, too.  He had bad trips with acid (one of which gave
him the idea of mixing the names Pink Anderson and Floyd Council) and he went
to hospitals to get help (England didn't have rehibilition clinics - mental
hospitals were where a lot of drug users ended up).

And, yes...Syd Barrett did some 'crazy' things on stage - this does not mean
he's insane, however.  Hell, I have friends who think he's locked up somewhere,
which is just not true at all.  

Syd was 'gotten rid of' as Gilmour was already playing with the Floyd.  They
only asked him to JOIN (as opposed to only playing with) them when they let Syd
go.  For a while after that, he still acted strange most of the time, but
people change...so did Syd.

As I said in my latest message in the Gilmour topic, I don't know the name of
the other book I have (somewhere in this pile of boxes and stuff)...the yellow
one with the Wall-style cover.  This is more of an 'viewed objectively' book
than _Pink_Floyd_, which is 'viewed by the group'.  There are ALWAYS two sides
to things like this.  Come to think of it, it may be called either "Beyond The
Wall" or "After The Wall".  Some portions are about Syd, also.

Is there such a thing as a combined reverb / delay effect pedal?
I don't mean a big multi effect unit or a delay that can be 
twiddled so that it sounds 'just like' a reverb, but just a single
effect pedal that combines these two effects (some kind of toggle
switch to change from dealy to reverb and back).
The effects seem similar enough to technically allow for such a combination.

Date: 28 Jul 92 13:30:03 GMT


Hi there,

I recently bought an album of Julian Bream on which he plays
the Grand Sonata in A (3 parts) of Paganini. According to
the booklet Paganini used to perform with guitarist Luigi
Legnani. The violin would play solo and the guitar would
accompany. This recording is a edition where Bream incorporated
the violin part in the guitar part. I think the result is quite
good.

I haven't heard anything for guitar and violin yet,so I was
wondering if somebody knows about these pieces of Paganini
and what is it like. Are the guitar parts as difficult as the
violin parts probably will be ? 

A friend of mine plays violin but he's not quite a Paganini if
you know what I mean ! I hope the pieces are not to difficult
so we can play them if they are worth it.

Bye

I read the Les Paul interview in _TAS_ and he talked about overdubbing
using two *mono* recorders in the old days. Bounce back and forth. Simply
record the less critical stuff first and the vocals last. May have to re-do 
drums if you need the beat from the beginning. I've done this also.

There some other tricks. Record several instruments in each take, for example.
Record the backing tracks on 2&3 and then ping-pong from 1 to 4 and back to add
a bunch of stuff (without changing 2&3).

I've found a neat trick to get a good mix to stereo on a four-track. Record
with flat tones and the main levels set the same onto all four 
tracks with the trim levels set reasonably.
Mix down and don't touch the trims. Then set up the recorder to record the
mix to two tracks without changing any knobs. The mix you perfected mixing 
from all four tracks will now be going to two tracks when you start 
recording over.

He has been into the 'Christian thing' for about 20 years now ! His first solo
album was 'What a day' & that was way back in '74. He did a concert here in
Ireland a few years back, He basically played an acoustic set using some
unbelievable effects and then slipped onto electric to play lead lines over
an Acoustic riff which he programmed in .Yeah I think that Amaving Grace sounds
great on E-Bow. Anyway I have an old tape of the song 'Rejoice' which is about 
20 mins long with about 2 mins of lyrics ! it is amazing . so thats my

    I do NOT like the "famous" Skid Row but this cover caught
    my eye because of the names on the cover... Two other guys (
    I don't remember the names) appeared together with GARY MOORE.
    When I played it , it sounded like good ol' Gary on the guitar, but
    if this really was THE Gary Moore why havent I heard about it
    somewhere else??? Now I cant remember the exact year of recording
    but Im sure it was somewhere between -88 and -91.
    Anyone out there got a clue?? If you do please let me now, OK?

an old debate i guess... you are right that people like to here
the original solo note for note... which is ok... i like to learn
other people's solos, not so that i can impress anyone with it, but
because when i play a stevie ray vaughn solo, or a dave gilmour
solo, i LEARN things.. new tools and variations with which to create
my own solos.. probably everything you've ever played has been 
played before, and most of it you've heard, and are copying
consciously or subconsciously.. this isnt' bad, it's just how
it's done.

I have an ART sgx2000. I get some lovely clean sounds out of it, and the
distortion sounds are the best I've ever had from a processor/pedal. They're
still not up to that rack-mounted mesa-boogie quality. I've had a few annoying
experiences with the built-in programmable level controller -when connected to
the midi foot controller, if the dynamic range is high-ish, I get funny
clicking sounds at certain points in the transition. It can also make similar
(but louder sounds) when I switch it off bypass (my bypass setup is to make
all the mix parameters 0). On the good side, it has a great Accoustic 
environment simulator, the reverb is good enough so that I can DI the unit 
into a mixer most of the time (when I'm not being too fussy) - and the editting
is quite good.

Does anyone know if ART are on the net ?

I've learned from (and am still learning) from an excellent book called

_More Fingerstyle Guitar_

which is a continuation of

_Fingerstyle Guitar_.

(sorry I cant remember the author....something like Ken Alden...or something...
I could get that info later, if anybloody is interested)

I don't think there are any cassettes for the books.  The books give standard
notation as well as tab for a large variety of fingerstyle songs, as well
as excellent detail of lessons and theory.  The songs range from
simple little bluesy tunes to really complex ragtime, etc.....
So it would be challenging for everyone...
The only thing this book lacks is classical music, which I consider a 
form of fingerstyle.....I guess the author felt 'fingerstyle' meant a
traditional, blues, folk, ragtime, etc. style.  oh well...
