Great stuff guys! The traffic around here this evening was as the decibel level is...HIGH VOLUME! We need more of these sessions...

"The key to keeping your right arm relaxed is focused concentration on the muscles that are tensing as your stamina wears. If you can identify this point and highten your relaxed state, you will develop more endurance.

Working with BP, Dudley, Drew the Rookie, and all the rest at EBMM is absolutely amazing. Sterling has never let me down once. It's a unique opportunity to work very closely with very talented and creative people that are at the top of heap of guitar manufacturing. I feel like there's nothing that we can't create after dreaming it up. They do work me really hard, though. I've been up since 4 AM and am still answering questions at 10 at night (although the wine at Sterling's house is unsurpassable. I am quite the lucky man.) A very special thank you to Casey for editing and typing and managing this online session. Couldn't have done it without you."

[Aww, love you too, John. -Casey, ed.]

Thanks so much for your reply John! I will keep your advise at heart Can't wait to see the new guitars you are working on with EBMM, I am sure they will be fantastic instruments!

Edit: Thanks BP, Casey and everyone else at EBMM for this wonderful session!!!

My favorite answer was:

2: My favorite guitar player of all time is Steve Morse. Nobody touches him.

thats just cool on many levels.
1) Its great to see that guitar heros have guitar heros
2) it conveys to me the that the EB artists respect one another - kindof like a mini family.

also from JP's comments re: the EB crew (BP, Dudley, drew and folks) it seems like you all have a lot of fun while doing amazing work ... and it shows - us rabid fans are a testiment to that! tres admirable! thats how it should be

Also thanks again to BP for setting this up, CLB for taking the time/effort to transcribe and JP for lending us his time, advice, experience & wisdom.

rock on,
Arin

[mbgreene]

Sorry I couldn't participate, but I also wanted to add my thanks and appreciation to all involved for providing this type of platform and service. It was a very interesting read.

"I will be playing material from my solo album Suspended Animation."
-JP

Damn it, no distributor for this CD around here.... online I go...

[Terry]

If I am not mistaken, Suspended Animation is only available through JP's online store. The few of us who ordered got it sent out by Rena Petrucci herself though Nice touch to an awesome album!

[beej]

Also just wanted to chime in with a thank you! That was a fantastic thing to offer us forumites.

Just when I think you guys can't impress me any more ... you go ahead and do it.

Thanks BP, JP, Casey and everyone else!

(Now holding breath for a DT / Rush tour )

[NorM]

A special thank you for all of the people who signed up just to ask a question. I hope we get to hear more from you soon.

Hey there everyone! I wanted to chime in on a bit of a personal note.

I've got to tell you all, that working with people like BP, JP, Dudley, Jon (x2: Gitarz and Watkins), and everyone else in the EB family is an incredible experience. Yesterday was a great day for everyone involved, and I am glad that we are able to share it with all of you via the EB/MM Forum.
