Jay I do the same thing ... I've done that alot with the 12 bar blues scale and did some improving on it and it sounds slick ... I'm starting to do that with my Pentatonic scales ... currently I'm working on my Ionian scales, etc

lol good story James ... about 15 years ago when I had a headfull of hair, I was deployed in the mid-east ... we didnt have clippers with us so we had to use the "locals" that came on the base to cut hair ... now mind you I used to gel my hair back since it was long to stay in regs ... well I tell this "local" just cut it short on the sides and trim the top to which he replied "yes" ... well he took the clippers and ran it right down the middle of my head and preceeded to shave it all off ... tad bit pissed?  that's an understatement lol ... so since 15 years ago, I've continued to shave my head to a 1/4" 

Moral of the story:  You might actually like it!  I love mine, plus it hides the grey

Some of those are a hoot Doc ... and some down right disturbing!

Thanks Joe ... I wanted something stripped down and basic ... nothing more ... I want a clean tone ... I find it hard to get that on my settings from my Line6 Amp

Love your responses guys!  That made my morning ... haven't laughed like that in a few weeks!

My inspiration was Joe Satriani ... just loved how he could make the guitar do whatever he wanted ... almost like it was a piece of him and not some piece of equipment he was holding

Keep at it Borth ... one thing we've all learned is when your fingers start "acting up", it's usually from playing "too long" ... one thing I've noticed is sometimes your fingers say, "I'm not going to cooperate today" ... just like we all have good days and bad days, your fingers are the same way ... usually when that happens I'll put the guitar down and do something else and come back later

Have fun with the www.justinguitar.com site ... it is the best site for learning IMO ... I paid for an instructor for 2 months and quit; reason?  justinguitar.com was teaching me MORE than I did with him and I picked up things ALOT faster

Epiphone LP's are the introduction series into the Les Paul line and some dont realize they are made by Gibson ... alot of guitarists do actually use them (think of them as a cheaper alternative to the Gibson LP) ... Zakk Wylde/Slash use Epiphone Customs in some of their songs so they pump alot of $$$ in them ... it's all based on what feels comfortable with them and you

They are alot cheaper than a Gibson LP ... for the price (160 pounds = $220-$240) that's a great price ... my guess is you wont be disappointed with the Epiphone ... still a fine guitar for the Les Paul line ... you will still get the bluesy/classic rock sound with them ... I love how my Les Paul sounds ... and I'm sure you'll love the sound of the Epiphone just as well

Sweet song ... love Ciffs ... I have a few:

One - U2
Dreams - Cranberries
Angel - Sarah McLaughlin

Strictly music speaking ...

Flying in a Blue Dream - Joe Satriani
Eruption - EVH

Bernie Taupin (Collaborated w/Elton John on alot of his songs)

I'm a powerchord junkie so any of 5th string varieties I love!  On the open chord format I love the sustained chords (Asus, Dsus, etc)
