bottom and edge?? That sounds like a Peavey (a small one like the 
Peavey Audition or Studio) amp, am I correct??? If it is, they'd be the 
active tone controls on the lead channel... they work just like normal tone 
controls except that they are active (of course...) and they only affect the

Hope I'm no totally off the track on my advice.....

I like the new Satriani album very much and maybe it's because this
record is again completly intrumental. He has a new band and although
I first thought, that it is impossible to substitute Jonathan Mover
and Stu Hamm, his new bandmates are excellent. Sorry, I cannot recall
there names. The album sounds very lively and indeed large parts were
recorded 'live'. What impressed me most, is the very precise rhythm
'work' on this album. I think you can't play a better rhythm guitar
and many of the so called metal or rock top acts should take a lesson
from Satch to smooth their rhythm guitar parts :-)). The album
combines a lot of different styles from slow blues parts to pure
metal.
I think the album is worth it's 15 bucks, but it is always a matter of
personal taste....

Have fun

Epoxied frets can be removed if you use heat (usually a soldering iron
applied to the fret itself. It does require practice so that you don't
scorch the fingerboard.

For wood to wood joints that need to be taken apart, carpenter's glue
(aliphatic resin??? the yellow stuff) is easily cleaned with water
when wet and easily taken apart with steam after it cures. Hide glues
take much more practice to get a solid joint and it's also hard to
ensure that bacteria doesn't grow in the joint, weakening the glue.

  Actually there are is an unlimited number of slides available.  Don't confine
yourself to just the ones you can buy as the store.  Just start picking 
household objects up and fiddle with them, you can get some real cool sounds
that way.  Try things like butterknives(a la Bob Dylan), glasses, mugs, even 
those canisters inside Asthma Inhalers(the part that holds the medicine).

  You might want to try dampening both behind the slide with your left hand 
fingers, and at the same time Palm Mute with your right hand.

  As for where to put the slide, it depends on what you're playing.  For normal
slide stuff you could wear it on either the Middle, Ring, or Pinkey, doesn't 
really matter.  But you could do a trick that Sonny Landreth does and play with
the slide on your Pinkey and voice chords behind the slide.  It's pretty cool
You could also try to wear the slide on your Index finger and play chords in 
front of the slide, making the slide like a moveable capo.  I'm the only 
person that i've heard play like this :) , but i'm sure someone else a bit 
more famous has thought of this.  If anyone knows of anyone who plays w/ the
slide on the index finger i'm interest in hearing about it.

  Since there's been a lot of talk on slide playing, i highly recommend Sonny
Landreth's album "Outward Bound".  Great album, with the best slide playing i've
ever heard!  He does some cool stuff with the slide.  Definetly an album to 
check out!

Glass slides do tend to have a more ringing sound.  I hesitate to say it
is metallic.  I guess it is "glassy" :-)  I used to have a graphite slide.
I lost it.  It was a personal favorite.  Great combination of weight, size,
and smoothness.  It was a closed-end kind.  You know, a tapered shank with
a rounded end.  Not a tube/pipe.  Steel ones of this design tend to be way
too heavy IMO.  Anybody know where I can get another graphite slide?  I
haven't seen them anywhere.  Not in magazines or catalogs, either.

It should!  Are you muting all the strings?  You should.  Like barring.
Using one finger across all strings behind the slide is most common.

|> doing if anything?

1. If you have the slide on your pinky, it is easy to play non-slide parts
   with the remaining fingers.  Then it is possible to play a "normal"
   part during the verses and then solo with a slide as an example.

2. I use the slide on my ring finger only because it the most comfortable
   for me.  I have done this for 15 years.  The example I have in (1.)
   is a goal for me.  I always end up dropping the slide on the floor to
   finish a song(no glass slides for me!  I had one once.  I dropped it
   on the mic stand base.(yes, it broke)), or pulling it off and holding
   it in my right hand while I play a "normal" part.  Argg.

3. Johnney Winter plays the best slide I have ever seen/heard.  He uses
   his remaining fingers while he is playing slide.  He does stuff like
   playing a trill in front of the slide while playing a slide part, and
   lifting the slide momentarily to play a "normal" blip.  Amazing.  And,
   he plays almost always with his eyes closed.  Don't know for sure what
   finger he uses the slide on.

About the epoxy fret jobs...  If you are using a two part epoxy, you can
take the fret out by heating the fret to about 200 degrees farenheight,
by using a soldering iron.  The epoxy should be be very soft or melted
at that temperature.

	Try the Music Emporium at 2018 Mass. Ave. Cambridge, MA.  They're
listed in the Boston area Yellow Pages.  I just bought a used Lowden acoustic
guitar from them, and it's the best instrument I've played.  They have a wide
selection of acoustic guitars, like Martin, Lowden, Gibson, etc.  They tend
to be on the high end price wise, but they do have some very quality
instruments.  Parking is a bitch, but there is a small shopping plaza just 
down the street with usually plenty of parking.  The company does a lot of
it's business overseas, so the might have what you are looking for, if not,
check there a month or two later, something might show up.  Good Luck,

I've seen live footage of Big Black, and it doesn't seem like he's doing
anything particularly unusual to his guitar.  As near as I can tell, he
turns down the bass, turns up the treble (way up!), and plays the strings
a little farther up towards the fretboard.  It wouldn't surprise me if 
there was an overdrive pedal involved in there somewhere, but you can't
really see that on the video.

The interesting thing about the way he plays is the way he physically
straps the guitar to himself.  Being the skinny little guy that he is,
a shoulder strap would probably completely obscure him from the audience
so he wears a strap that looks more like a belt and secures the 
instrument around his waist.  Kinda funny looking if you ask me, but it
seems to be pretty effective.  :-)

I'm not sure if it's still true, but for the older Ibanez guitars 
(approx 74-83?) the first 2 digits of the serial number is the year of

Well discussion regarding the creation of rec.music.classical.guitar has 
been quite dead for awhile.  However, I *KNOW* there is interest in it 
because there are morMYe than 150 people on the mailing list that Bill 
Brown collected.

Just a note about that list:  Bill and I tried to find a home for it at my 
site.  Result:  nada -- the sysadmin and other powers that be shot it down.
So for now the list is hosed, lacking a good place to call home (unless 
someone else wants to volunteer a home for it/- contact me if you're inter-
ested).

The upshot of all this:  BE SURE TO VOTE WHEN THE CFV COMES UP.  Right 
now, people, it's all we've got. 

BTW, I believe David Casper posted the original RFD and proposed charter 
of rec.music.classical.guitar.  David, if you are reading this, would you 
post that again with a 2nd offical RFD?
