Sorry to hear that Altie...it's 60 degrees at 7am in Seattle, beautiful sunrise. Starting a nice new project today, for one of the Mariners. Business is just ripping. Last night I had dinner with my friend that was a long time EMC'er. Have you heard of a storage company called Isilon? They are rippin' also, she said they have several leading edge products coming out...my friend just sold Ofoto on them, they are handling all of Ofoto memory storage now.. Gotta go...birds are a chirpin' and everything is all abloom... scott

little tease of nice pre-Spring weather Today was the second day in the upper eighties - absolutely glorious. Unfortunately ephemeral, it's eighteen to twenty degrees above "normal". Been hard to find any time to post. Even garden weeding is a joy. I'm on my second try with peas, and enjoying watching blackberry sprouts shooting up. I'm posting this to "whet your appetite". Expect you don't require much "whetting". Patience. Soon, very soon. lurqer

GuitarInstructor19, My Strat arrived Thursday and the amp came on Saturday. I've been playing with it ever since. My finger tips are thoroughly tenderized. <g> Sort of numb and raw but still playable. I've memorized the major chords A-G and have been practicing the Blues scale (pentasomething) for the key of A. I want to try to memorize that scale before moving on to the others. I'm rather clumsy in my chord changes and have a heck of time forming that confounded "B". "F" was giving me some trouble but I'm getting a little bit more consistant with it. Anyhow, I was wondering if I could pick your brain a little. Sort of like a long distance guitar lesson... What do you think might be the next blues scale I should practice? D? E? In otherwords, are there some scales that I'll be using much more than the others? And should I be memorizing them or just memorizing their basic rules as far as steps and half-steps? Any exercises you might suggest? I learned a very basic 12 bar blues riff and have been having fun with it adding my own little bits to it. Thanks for any help. Gotta run. -Clappy Any basic music theory you might be able to think of to help me understand would be appreciated...
