[Psychicpet]

Hi BP, was just wondering if you'd be up for doing what you did with Petrucci in the guitar forum over here? that'd probably really spike the traffic numbers too

Dave's not here?

I understand that a login and password were set up for Mr. La Rue. Then for some reason it just didn't work. LaRue is reportedly lurking. He is a real cool person and I have enjoyed conversations with him every time I got the chance. As good as he is at lessons I think he would be perfect for this board and make everyone here better. The only thing I have left to add is:
LaRue!!!!!

Dave,
Keith said I should ask you to play "Point Counterpoint" with me Friday night at the open house.

[tkarter]

Maybe Dave practices something other than typing. Is that why he is better than me?

Ha ha I don't need an answer to that question.

LaRue is an extremely cool person. I took a workshop from him two years ago at TCNJ. Talk about amazing. It was not only the first time I've ever seen a bongo, but he complimented my sterling (when I had it) . But, in all actuality, he is an extremely nice person, and I even had a nice chat with him about effects/preamps/tone. I felt really bad for him though, because everyone at the workshop (mostly high school kids) did'nt know sh*t about him! I'll admit I knew he played with the .... DREGGS! and on G3, but you know he's "huge" when you see a life sized Dave LaRue poster at guitar center. I think that's why he'd never do another workshop there. Oh yeah, my vote's DAVE!

Dave LaRue's Tapping Class at MusicDojo

This course is designed for the intermediate player who wishes to begin amassing a collection of usable tapping techniques and licks. Much of the material will be based loosely on techniques and patterns used by bassists such as Billy Sheehan, Stu Hamm, and Victor Wooten. Adam Nitti's Tapping 1 course is recommended, either before or along with this course. Some knowledge of theory and improvisation would be helpful, in order for you to extrapolate on the ideas that will be covered. Some of the topics include playing single string lines with various techniques, simple sequencer type lines moving to more complex lines, outlining harmony (chord shapes - we'll work on one of my tunes for this), slapping and tapping, and two hand independence (walking a blues and playing chords simultaneously).

Lesson 1: Single String Lines
Lesson 2: Using the Pentatonic Scale
Lesson 3: Four Note Groupings
Lesson 4: Sustained Chords
Lesson 5: Sequencer Type Lines
Lesson 6: Variations
Lesson 7: Extended 16th Note Groups
Lesson 8: More Complex, Moving Variations
Lesson 9: Triplet Patterns
Lesson 10: Triplet Variations, Ionized Solo
Lesson 11: Triplet Patterns with Chord Shapes
Lesson 12: More Exotic Chord Shapes (from an original tune)
Lesson 13: Extending the Line and the Progression
Lesson 14: Finishing the Progression
Lesson 15: Slap and Tap
Lesson 16: More Complex Slap and Tap Lines
Lesson 17: Walking Lines and Tapping
Lesson 18: Adding the IV Chord
Lesson 19: The Blues Progression, Simple Version
Lesson 20: The Blues Progression, Adding Complexity

The TCNJ thing was on his complex blues lines! They weren't that tricky, but quite fun to be able to play while he soloed over you.
