Conference napalm::guitar

    Guitar:
    
    o Every Led Zeppelin album
    o The Yes Album
    o Ozzy Osbourne Diary of a Madman
    o Steve Morse and the Dregs "What If"
    
    Keyboards:
    
    o Yes's Roundabout
    o ELP's Brain Salad Surgery and Trilogy
    
    As soon as I heard about the phrase repeat feature on CD players,
    I drove to the store and bought one.
    
    I've used all the known techniques and then some:
    
    	o Needle dropping
    	o 16 RPM
    	o 1/2 speed cassette
    	o Cassette review/cue feature
    	o CD phrase repeat
    	o Sampling
    
    Sampling?  What's that you ask?  I have actually sampled riffs into
    my sampler and dissected them using various sampler features
    (loop points, variable speed playback, filtering out backing tracks,
    etc.)
    
    	db

Let see:

Metallica (...And Justice For All, Ride The Lightning)
Any of Tesla's albums
Any of Judas Priests albums (Some Heads are Gonna roll!)
Any of Dokkens albums
Ozzy - Crazy Train

Sometimes I just listen to the radio and jam to whatever comes on.

    Hmmm, let's see...
    
    Mountain's "Nantucket Sleighride"
    
    The solo from Jethro Tull's "Aqualung"
    
    Zep's  "Heartbreaker"
           "Since I've Been Lovin You"
    
    Ten Years After "Goin Home"
    
    Jeff Beck's "Because We've Ended As Lovers"
    
    Pink Floyd  solo in "Time"
    
    Roy Buchanan "Cajun"
    
    
    ...to name a few
    
    
    Kevin

I won't claim that I learned a lot from any of these, but I've jammed along 
to them quite a bit over time.  Amazing how you can do that and then a 
couple of days later you don't remember *any* of the songs...

Hendrix - Band of Gypsies (my all time fav to jam with)
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent

     
    
    		I try to play along with the following:
    
    	1. Any and all Lynyrd Skynyrd.
    
    	2. Neil Young - Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, Freedom
    
    	3. Any John Prine or Louden Wainwright III (sp?)
    
    	4. Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
    
    	5. Ed Haynes and Webb Wilder.
    
    	Sounds pretty good too.......until the record is over! 8-)
    
    	DonH
    
    
    

    Not to date myself, but ...
    
    - Lynyrd Skynyrd
    - Ted Nugent
    - Early Sabbath
    - Early Deep Purple
    - Bad Company
    - Early Kiss (an old band used to do the entire 1st live album, make
                 up, pyro's and all !)
    
    Scary (ya got got, nuthin' ta lose ..)

    Jr. Walker and the All Stars "Anthology"
    
    							Brian

    
    Grateful Dead - Reckoning, once you tune your acoustic guitar to it
    (they really do play in tune :^) you can jam the whole album.
    
    Led Zeppelin - I wore out Houses of the Holy learning "Over the Hills
    and Far Away" and "The Rain Song", I got the CD, haven't noticed any
    wear yet!!

dbii

    For years, two of my favorites were "Who's Next" and "Quadrophenia".
    On bass, of course.  Many of these are great tunes for pumping some
    rubbery bass lines on.
    
    Can't say I ever gave Entwistle any competition on "The Real Me" though.

>Ah Vai Musicom : Eric Johnson

    dbii, I haven't put this tape down since I got it!  I only wish I COULD
    PLAY along with it instead of just LISTENING to it!

    Snnoks Eaglin's first album, I think it was called New Orleans
    Streetsinger opened a few doors for me. It was a very clearly recorded
    album as I remember, with quite a lot of slow blues - ideal for
    playing along with.

    re .13
    
    I like to think I can play guitar better than I can type :-(
    
    That should be *Snooks* Eaglin
                           
    
    andy

ah, jeff beck, blow by blow..  yup I went through a few of them myself.

...

- Lez Zep's first album
- Rainbow "Rainbow Rising"
- Alman Bros. "Live at the Filmore"
- Les Dudek, "Cit Magic"
- Areosmith "get your wings"  (I know, who didn't blow thru three or four
			       these)

oh yea, the first Boston album took a beating when it first came out.

And I didn't replace em, but

Black Sabbath Vol-4, and War Pigs got mauled pretty good.  (That
was prior to me having the benefit of a pause arm.. )

The rest, well, I probably made some good clicks in just about all of em,,,

War Pigs is an awesome song to jam too.
I like that whole album !

Fairies Wear Boots is cool too.

    Hey Edd, thanks for reminding me about "Love It To Death",
    a killer album for jammin to.  Easy changes, but each tune
    has nice twist.  The bridge to chorus in "Is It My Body"
    is way cool.
    
    /rick

    No prob.... Personal fave was "Caught In A Dream"
    
    Edd

I didn't have access to a record player or to very many live performers, 
so I learned a little differently.  After hearing a tune several times on the 
radio, I would start trying to approximate what I remembered and make 
corrections as I understood more details.  This has some advantages and 
disadvantages.  Intricate details tend to get lost, but it helped me to 
develop self-reliance with my instrument and I think it encouraged me to 
be more open-minded about how to play the guitar because, not knowing exactly 
what I was trying to reproduce, I tried some unorthodox things.  

It's definitely not the best way to learn lix and trix but it did help me to 
be more personal in my playing, whatever that's worth.

<<War Pigs is an awesome song to jam too.

YES Indeed!!

<<I like that whole album !
	
A pinical album for me.  At the time, I was about 13/14. (70/71).
Spent hours trying to pick everything out...  Took weeks...

	What was that slow tune,,, Can't remember it now, I should,
        wait,, It's comming back slowly,, Ah- I Got-it "Caravan"

this was HEAVY Stuff back then....  Black-lights and all..
	
<<Fairies Wear Boots is cool too.

YO!!  Probably the engineering masterpiece of the whole album.
And who'd forget IRONMAN?

Remeber Volume 4 ?  There was some halatious stuff on that one too.
Yeah, Sabbath was one great band back then... By todays standers it's
almost laughable, but back 20 some odd years ago, noone was laughing.

Remember when we were hearing "Keep Yourself Alive", "Liar", and "Brighton Rock"
for the first time ?

			"Wholly S#%*.....!!!"

How about that "Ring Modulated" lead on Paranoid ?  Ack, what a tone !

jc (who sez: Amps and processors have come a long way!)

    
    
    Anyone remember my yesteryear hero Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe...that
    man could really play...still can if you catch him away from his synths
    that he turned to almost exclusivly.
    
    Basically my education went like this...
    
    Mum's Buddy Holly records taught me basic chords.
    
    Dad's Chuck Berry collection taught me basic lead.
    
    Jim Croce taught me advanced chords/finger picking.
    
    Pete Townsend taught me POWER!!!
    
    Jan Akkerman & Bill Nelson taught me advanced lead.
    
    Gary Moore taught me speed.
    
    Rye Cooder taught me I'll never be a good slide player.
    
    Stevie Vai taught me humility.
    
    Joe Pass taught me more humility.
    
    Eric Clapton taught me there is a God & he lives in Surry UK when he's
    not touring :-).
    
    Plus a few classical/jazz teachers I've had along the way.
    
    All this has made me a pretty humble chap;-).
    
    Cheers
    		Pete.
    
    
    
    

    
    Still think some of Nelson's lead work on "Live-In the Air Age"
    smokes...."Blazing Apostles", "Maid In Heaven", "Yorkshire Landscape",
    "Sister Seagull" and "Fair Exchange", especially....
    
    Should have added that album in to my list...loved "Blazing Apostles".

	Really..  In liking nostalgia, I turned up on a disc of
Paranoid our Drummer bought.  So I borrowed it...

	Solo-Paranoid: The closest thing to a deformed fart in years...

    re .-1
    
    I remember hearing that solo on Paranoid for the first time and
    thinking "What happened to the needle on my record player"

	London Calling - Clash
	Singles Going Steady - Buzzcocks

     I almost forgot these two....
    Speedys coming-scorpions
    Catch your train-   "
    Any of Ariel Benders work on Mott the Hoople live                        
    

         
    Some of my favs ...                              
                                       
    o Ozzy - all  (especially "Tribute" and "The Ultimate Sin").
    o Old Sabbath (tracks like Heaven and Hell, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
                   War Pigs, Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Children of the 
                   Sea).                                            
    o Rockin' the Blues (recently aquired - great for noodling to). 

    Cheers,    
    -Tony
