Boy.....between the new Axis, rehersals and going to the acoustic for "just a minute" of playing.......I'm all over the map....

Currently learning 'I'm Buzzed' by Mike Landau. Not that hard, but the feel of Landau is quite hard to 'imitate'

 

[Sub1 Zero]

I've mostly been playing stuff from Death Magnetic by Metallica, the Purple Rain album by Prince and the Revolution (don't laugh at that, Prince rules!), and working on my own material as well.

I should stop writing music that I have difficulties playing 6 months later.

I haven't been playing much at all. I had a cyst form in my right hand from work and bad arthritis attacking the same hand as of this week.

On top of that, I don't have an avatar.

 

[paranoid70]

I'm trying to get a new band together. We are focusing a bit on 80s rock... it's pretty fun to play.

Some new stuff I have been working on is A Million Miles Away - Plimsouls, Just What I Needed - The Cars, Suffragette City - David Bowie. I have also been trying Too Hot To Handle by UFO, but am failing miserably at soloing that fast.

 

[Volt]

I'm STILL trying to get my brain and fingers to play Larry Carlton's Kid Charlemagne solo and the basic riff in Don't Give It Up, up to speed. After nearly two months practicing them I'm getting fairly close.
It's tough being uncoordinated. haha

 

[Jonny Dubai]

Hendtix, deep purple and origional bits and bobs! Not got a lot of time at the moment to play due to family and work, but its all good.

[WeeGee]

In amongst jamming to various backing tracks, I just dug out an old copy of GT magazine which has a a transcription of Bebop Deluxe - Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape. Fantastic solo full of legato phrasing.

I have been playing lots of gigs, and have lost count of all the songs I have played lately!

Tommy - the climate is perfect in Dubai at that time of the year.

On the 3 occasions I have been to Dubai (they have all been around March/April), I have known it to go above 40 degrees (hot!!) but it's generally around the low 30's might even get some rain - i was there last year and I think I saw a cloud once !!

I've been working on a project with a guy named Mark that I met on myspace check it out

[Nik_Left_RG]

Crushing day is just an awesome song.. i r'member that song took me the most time out of all Satch's songs..Definitely one of Satch's top technical songs.. but, then again, I havent tried most of his songs so just my guess.. Totally mind-numbing when you nail it though ..pat yourself on the back when ya nail it and post a vid,will ya ..LOL..... Wait.. i think i forgot a few licks again.. Dammit..

 

[Jack FFR1846]

I've been playing Burnout Paradise and Tony Hawk Project 8.

I have a 12 year old son.

Therefore, I get that.
