The Show Your Work Thread

[Seshmeister]

My favorite part was knowing in advance Steve Vai had played all of the arpeggio sequences for both himself and Ralph Macchio(sp) - and anything else on the soundtrack not played by Ry Cooder, and then watching him have to act like he couldn't play the parts...now THAT'S acting!

It's a bit silly though.

Going first is a crazy big advantage obviously and how come he suddenly can't bend a string at the end?

And where do all those Bill and Ted harmonies come from at the end of the kid's bit?

Ok I need to lighten up.

I think the cinematographic term is "suspension of disbelief"...
Meaning, though we know he couldn't bend the string because it was a note beyond the range of a 22-fret guitar neck - and you're not supposed to think about the fact that Macchio's Tele only had 21 frets....

[Seshmeister]

I always thought if I was the Vai character at the end instead of storming off I would have stood there and said 'Pretty good effort for a first attempt huh?' and look pleased with myself.

One word... Eventide!

[Seshmeister]

Judging by the YouTube comments you always see, nowadays at the end Butler would say 'Have you got the tab for that?'.

[ThrillsNSpills]

Wow there's so much stuff in this thread I had to bump it to check more of it out.

[ThrillsNSpills]

Outstanding, and thank you so much. This info just made the process much less like trying to remove a tooth with a hole punch and a hammer (don't ask).

What, no bottle of JD?

[ThrillsNSpills]

I don't know if what I click will saddle me with mallware shit, but I'm enjoying the tunes, and the comedy.

Recently I've unburdened myself with verses and choruses and just solo all the way through it.

hmm, solo through the verse, solo through the chorus, except one spoken line that says don't bore us get to the solo.

[chefcraig]

What, no bottle of JD?

This is why I initially said don't ask, as the memory hurts excruciatingly. Yep, alcohol was definitely involved. The tooth was impacted, and the pain was quite frankly so bad that I sought relief with a hammer. No luck, so I wound up going to the dentist the next day.

[ThrillsNSpills]

sorry man, that's some of the worst pain anyone could get.

hope the all-stars project is moving along, even more now that I've had a chance to hear what you guys are capable of.

A HAMMER, Chef? Holy crap!

[Hardrock69]

Not bad!

[Diamondjimi]

Not bad at all!

[rocknrolldork]

I enjoyed that very much.

[jhale667]

Here's a silly blast from the past - my buddy I haven't heard from in a year or so emailed me an MP3 he made of a 90s 4-track demo of a friend's tune he did the rhythm guitars for and I did the solos he found...I'd totally forgotten about it until I heard it! It was a blues-rock thing, and the singer specifically instructed me NOT to "shred" on it, all the way to dictating what I played for the fills between verses, but the main guitar solo is funny...in the first couple of bars there's this HUGE John Sykes-inspired low-string harmonic growl that when I heard back I was like "Whoa!" did not remember doing that! Funny memory, too - it was basically a party at his place, and my friend had his gear set up, I'm several drinks in and the singer says "Hey, will you put a solo on my tune?" Uh,....OK?

Just another reason for me to STONGLY dislike you jhale.

[jhale667]

Why, guitar-envy, FFS? No one ever asked you to play on their demo??

And what's "Stongly", btw?

Asshole!

Again, what's your compliaint - or should I just dump your posts for trolling?

[Jagermeister]

That would really upset me. j/k I don't give a shit about that and you know it.

That post is as close as you will get to compliment form me Mr.

You really gonna have your melt-down today? With all that's happening in VH land?

No melt down. jhale and I were done as far as I know. Didn't need Matt trying to throw his weight around. I could care less what forum I'm posting in. He has a delete button and so does jahle.

Notice I DID ask for a legitimate complaint (like I needed one for a goof tune I posted) and there was none...

Exactly. God forbid one of the forum mods posts uh...something he worked on... in the "Show your work" thread, right?

Dude, it's his job to co-run this forum...........

He has every right to tell you to knock it off, period!

We're all guests here and subject to the very few rules there are here........I'm not trying to add flames to the fire! Just a friendly reminder, bro

Yes, yes he does. And I have every right to tell him to fuck off. Which I did. I'm not mad at him. jhale I'm mad at.

And you know I don't like rules even though I didn't break any as far as I know.

Anyway I digress. I shall not post in this forum any longer.

[Matt White]

You DO need me to chime in pal......otherwise people drop dead from sheer boredom.....

I did get your backhanded compliment to J though............

so otherwise....FUCK YOU and back to your regular programing

[chefcraig]

Everybody shut up. I love all of you dudes, so quit fighting today (of all days) because of the reasons listed below:

1. It's MAX's birthday
2. I have a friend flying into New York with his cell phone, and he's promised to call me during this evening's performance.
3. I have a hangover that would kill most mortals, and a workload to equal it. The noise hurts my eyes and reading negative crap numbs my ears.
4. Did I mention a ghastly, commode-hugging, blood-dripping-from-the-eyes-type hangover?

[kwame k]

You're taking a flame war from the Front Line and spilling it over into other forums......that has nothing to do with this forum!

It is one of the rules, dude!

Just would hate to see a fan self-destruct when we have exclusive goodies and inside info from the Man and the Band we all love!

Message received and understood....I'm out!

I have a fucking wine hangover from hell, too!

I remember why I don't get drunk on wine anymore!!!!!!!!!

Totally agree - and I've got friends there too - would much rather wait for an update from them than continue this crap...


But c'mon, that tune IS funny...

[rocknrolldork]

Here is the cheesey pop/top 40/dance band that I joined a few months ago. Some of the music is pretty cheesy, but the money was just too good to pass up and the people in the band are super cool. Covering Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.



I always have issues embedding vids, so let me know if this works.

[rocknrolldork]

For the rockers in the joint, which would be most of us, here is my other band Album Cover from when we covered the Queensryche album Operation Mindcrime.
