THE JOURNEY
January 24, 2012

Standing at the edge of unconsciousness
Take a look inside yourself,
Who do you see?
Staring at a vicious sunrise
Tell me, can’t you see?

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
From here we came to go we must.
Nobody likes it when the reaper is near.
Look into my eyes I can see your fear.

I’m your shadow of darkness,
I’m in you and your in me,
I’ll take you further than you’ve ever seen.

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
From here we came to go we must.
Nobody likes it when the reaper is near.
Look into my eyes I can see your fear.

Dying now you cannot see
What your death means
Reach out, give yourself over
Reach out to me.

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
From here we came to go we must.
Nobody likes it when the reaper is near.
Look into my eyes I can see your fear.

Russ. if you want a great candy red, check out the Duplicolor metalcast colors.

Imentioned the silver as a base cause I painted my police bike that way I used ultra silver metalic as a base then coated it with red anodized metalcast and then the clear coat. wet sanded between every coat and rubbing compound, polish and wax.

i can e-mail you a pic of the color if your interested.  here is the metalcast link.

I agree with sending for lessons.  Fins a teacher who they will connect with.  someone young and hip always works.  my 9yr old boy took lessons for a year.  now its Youtube as a teacher, but I want to send hom back as soon as I can afford it.   

Not all parents can be good teacher of their kids.  THat is why I wont coach my own kids.  Im too hard on them and wnat them to do better than I think they are doing. (+ I did not learn properly so I want him to be taught correctly.)  now he will ask me one or two things, but I dont push.  just a nudge now and again.

I have run into a snag with the paint removal this paint is from another planet far beyond the means of mortal men I have tried three paint removal products including citristrip nada I finished hand sanding the front and started on the back hopefully I will finish up tomorrow sometime my kingdom for a good palm sander. sad

Have you tried aircraft paint remover? citristrip is crap.  After that its up to 80grit and orbital. then work up to at least 120.  How are the inner radiuses doing? They are the hard ones to get preped.

I would definatly go with the offer from the paint guy.  Just be sure to use a compatable primer to the candy Coat.  A metalic silver would be a great base if you want a slight speckle under the top coat.

look at AXL strats and Rondo.  dont know what you feel like spending.   W/ a good set up and fret file (which every guitar needs no matter what) the AXLs are pretty nice for teh low cost.

I am the worlds worst for playing covers "the correct way".  EX:  One night 2 friends sat down, I pulled my guitar out and she asked to sing HOTEL CALIFIORNIA.  I said OK. I paly this song to the note, just slower and a slight diff rythem pattern.  It messed her up cause she went right from memory and not listening to how I played.  It took her a min or two to adjust.  Once she did, it sounded amazing!  Wish I had taped it!

Trouble is,,,, most PPL are slaves to the click.  I still am trying to master it!!  It is a must if your recording tracks, jamming with new friends.  I have found most pple are resistant to changing what they have learnt "by the book / original version"  If you can find a few ppl who encourrage you and are willing to do your way a bit,,, KEEP THEM AROUND FOREVER!

PLAY YOUR SONG.    BE YOURSELF AND FOLLO0W THE SONG IN YOUR HEART.

This is footage from a reunion concert/fundraiser.  Maxx Warrior was one of the best east coast meatal band of the 80's  After splitting up the lead singer and Bass player became names you might have heard of  CJ Snare and Perry Richardson formed FIREHOUSE.  The lead guitarist on the red SG is named Alton Eddins.  I grew up with his brother and Alton and I are great friends now also.

They are joined on stage for a sound check with 3 guys from NANTUCKET.  Al owns the solo though.  I am keeping my eye out for more vids from this night.  I hope to find some of just Maxx Warrior doing their originals.

There are more sound clips of Original Maxx on You Tube.

Just wanted to share this.

Maybe you should have asked him what type Drawers he wore. tighty whitie or boxers?

I went to trade it in the guy at the guitar shop tested it out and it sounded great.

DON'T YOU JUST HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!  That is why you have to play with the shop amps and guitars lololol, or get them to show you what they just did.

It is after Christmas.  I am now the proud owner of the above mentioned toy, along with athe C-1 Mic from same co.  I got teh 2 1/4 jacks to 1/8 stereo to run into my sound card.

Now I think I have the wrong set for looping back to monitor.its a 2 1/4 to 2 male RCA set up. I am thinking I need the set I first mentioned or find an adaptor of 1/8 to 2 female RCA. 

I have my laptops headphone out running to my stereo and then I assume I could run from stereo headphone out to mixer AUX imputs?

(I did say i would be asking more questionsLOLOLOLOL)

VOX is a classic.  Fender Twins.

I am no expert, but I would imagin anything that can get great reverb and is all tube.  Whats your budget?

i am going to assume a low budget and give you some links to check into.

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/ … -combo-amp
(I have one of these. great classic tone and a great price/ its a copy of a vox btw)

It comes down to finding one you likethe sound of.  Solid state will be cheeper.  Line 6 and Berhinger  make good low cost stuff.

hope this helped.

just found this page it should answer all your basic questions.  CHEERS.
