Top three bands: Pink Floyd (brilliant stripped down set for Live8) Led Zep Steely Dan Bubbling under: Beatles, Stone Roses, White Stripes, Oasis, Hendrix, Bluetones, Radiohead, Eagles New bands: Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, Elbow As a guitarist my most influential guitarists: Dave Gilmour (seriously underrated), Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton (especially Bluesbreakers period), Robert Cray, BB King, Santana, Peter Green, Chuck Berry, John Squire, Johnny Marr For me I follow the Ray Charles manifesto on music categorisation. There is only good music and bad music. Bad music in my book is music without soul. Technically perfect but completely lacking in passion or following a formula. This includes Michael Bolton, Kenny G, 90% of Country (vocal twang a must - see Lone Star as prime example), a similar percent of Folk (nasal vocals and an obsession with 17th Century soldiers leaving maidens a-crying), all of R&B (Usher, Beyonce et al) and nearly all of Dance. Unfortunately, soulnessnes also includes noodly guitarists such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Satriani, Vai and that whole West-coast Guitar Tech thing. For some reason I also despise Slash. Maybe it's the affected image. I'm not keen on ColdPlay either. Some Rap's OK but again a lot of it is to a formula. I make a special category for Shania Twain who I despise with an intensity that is only matched by my dislike of Celine Dion. So pretty much what you'd expect from a middle-aged guy.

When they talk over night sensations. Theses guys are not that. I mean, Steve Vai alone practiced 12 - 14 hours a day in his own studio. Same for all the rest and I've even read that he sometimes still spends the times to do the chops. So, I just have fun anymore trying to learn new licks here and there.

A few of my old students and friends used to say "how can I remember, let alone practise all those scales". Point was when I showed them how they were all based on relatively the same patterns whilst changing the point of reference (root note) they became not as difficult. I'm amazed at the amount of people who complicate modes so much.. Having said that with chords I generally work out the structure of the chord ie 1-b3-b5 and change the root note. That way I remember the formulas which I find from remembering the numbers I can see the appegio and scale within the chord at the same time. It simplifies the neck for me :) Of course ive done it so many times I know most of them without needing to think of the formulas, but it was a great way to learn it. Guitar teacher friend of mine, teched and played on Steve Vai's Fire Garden tour, so I had a little help there !! :P Greg Mulholland Clear IT Level 10, 530 Little Collins Street Melbourne, VIC 3000 Ph: (03) 99097411 Fax: (03) 99097091 -----Original Message----- From: Quillman Shawn (RBNA/CSA1) * [mailto:Shawn.Quillman@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, 12 July 2005 4:14 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Amazon.com: Books: Dr. Tom Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://www.ISAserver.org Actually we have 54 if you include just the standard major, 3 forms of minor, the modes, pentatonic and 12-tone.
