Dude, your skillz is even worse. Ever heard of looking up the image at the original address? http://www.worth1000.com/entries/117000/117088GMok_w.jpg HA! Only to get this? See, your skillz is the worstest of all!

"You talkin' to me? YOU TALKIN' TO ME??" Dude, I can't see the image; it seems you got no skillz.

I have to tip my hat to John Mclaughlin for successfully playing with people as different from each other as Elvin Jones & Tony Williams, Zakir Hussain & L Shankar, Paco DeLucia, and symphony orchestras.

I knew Vince had chops!

Buckethead's a trip. Can't believe he actually played in Guns & Roses for a hot second (Axel's failed comeback).

Still watching Rachael Ray? :rsly:

Congratulations on a job well done.

It's a good one. I like Highlife, Hurricane, and the opener best of all.

You like Nip/Tuck? That show is just a wee bit over-the-top for my tastes. I was in a situation where the tv was on in the house 24/7, as Soulstation1 says. I had simply reached my lifetime saturation point and, "good" programming or not, had seen/heard enough of it.

Cold turkey here. I cancelled cable last year. Don't miss it a bit. Now if I can just ween myself off this damn computer.

I watched 'em. :rsmile:

MUCH better!

NOW you're talkin'!

I've had buffalo, it's very good. Much leaner than your typical ground beef, but not "gamey" or anything like that. In a burger I think you probably wouldn't be able to tell much if any difference. I want to see you guys take one down the old-fashioned way.

Thank you, Larry - lot to chew on there.

I'm thinking of dropping down to .010s on my Stromberg. The action is a tad higher than it is on my Ibanez, on which .011s always worked well for me. Roundwounds, of course. Gotta cut through the organ/drums din... Also thinking of trying some flatwounds (for the first time ever) on my Hofner. Tomasfeld is what I'm thinking of trying first. Like ep1str0phy said, though, I'm afraid of losing that other thing that you get with roundwounds. I can always switch back, though.

Bach 2-part inventions. I'm currently working up three of them with an upright bass player. I'm on the hunt for more duets in a variety of styles, too, so any hot tips will be greatly appreciated.

Now THAT is what youtube is all about. It just looks like it was meant to be broadcast over the internet 25 years later. Get out from behind the computer and LEARN TO SWIM. I've tried to get into youtube... I really have. I watched a good doc on Bueys. I've seen clips here and there from this thread, but damn... if I'm not USING the computer, I'm wasting time behind it. I even have a hard time reading boards, news, etc. I see how youtube/internet boards, etc is some sort of consumerism backlash, but it all feels the same. Damn right. I wish stuff like this still went on. Instead, people have settled for watching a horrible reproduction over a high speed internet connection. "Are y'all hip? Shit..." My man! Thanks for the slap across the face. I needed to hear that.

There are some missing chords in that chart.

That's what they're trained to do. I have no idea what they have in mind with a "rework", which is apparently different than a remix. Wynton strikes me as the odd duck in this scenario. Are we going to be hearing his trumpet next to Miles'?

8th million time's the charm.

Why don't they just do something new together?

I'll be hangin' out!

First, I'd need to have two terms defined for me by the person making that statement: "jazz", and "influence". The remark about fusion has me thinking he/she might have relatively rigid ideas regarding both. Maria Schneider, Larry Goldings have cited his influence; I'd guess that a high percentage of all jazz-based guitar players currently playing have listened to him at least a little... Face it, someone with that much popular and critical acclaim is going to be influential. It may not always be musically overt in someone's work, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Influence happens!

Kind of like this? Is that an empty cicada shell she's looking at on the end of that guitar?
