Recorded
at home in February 2003. I used a Roland U-110 for the bassline, my homemade
guitar for the melodies, a red Squier Strat and a cheapo acoustic for
the rhythms, a Roland MBD-1 for drums, and for outboard I used a Zoom
1204, a Zoom 1201, an Alesis 3630, a Samson S-Com 4 and a Lexicon Vortex.
Everything was recorded via an M-Audio Delta 44 into Sonar 2.0 on a PIII
866.
I've been playing guitar since I was about nine or ten years old, albeit
with lots of multi-year gaps... I played in a band for about six months
in my late teens, but nowadays I just like to potter about in my little
studio making CDs for anyone who wants to listen to them. I hope you enjoy
my little tune! :-)

...Tried to get into the crazy mind of Mr Satriani, contemplated shaving
my head, buying a pair of oakleys and tight leather pants but in the end
picked up a 7 string guitar, and pressed the little red button. Thanks

Musical History:
On 4th November 1977 my uncle showed me the chords to a song and gave
me his guitar. It was a cheap old nylon strung acoustic. I played that
song over and over got it in the end. This was the beginning of a love
affair that has lasted ever since. I still have and play that old guitar.

It didn't make me a better player but it opened compositional avenues
that I never imagined existed...
My most noted work is as the lead guitarist for
The David Cross Band [David is a former member of King Crimson].

if it were your last."

OK
my name's Chris woodland I live in Bristol England and I've just turned
18. I started playing guitar about 4 years ago after I heard a recording
of Crushingday and thought to myself Fu*k me! Hence my name on the website-
Crushingday62.
This song was written and recorded in one day-my
brother's birthday- and it's all about the chord progression and the
tone of the guitar! I.e. mmmmmm lush tone! I later rerecorded the bass
line and mixed it at my friends house.
The song is entitled searching as it makes
me think about what I want and why I want it. Don't ask me what 'it'
is because I cant say I know! This song is my first proper recording
and so I had to overcome some learning curves but hey that's life. Anyway
I hope you enjoy the song and that at least one person out there can
relate to the title!

I've
been playing since i was 16 on and off, but really only stuck to the pub
rock / blues train of thought. I played in a couple of bands but never
really progressed as a player.
The turning point for me came about 1O months ago, when i stumbled into
T2J
and started to get advice from other players, most notably PhryDom and
Clarky. This track is the first that i've recorded, the mixdown isn't
that
hot and it really shows up some flaws in my technique, but it was a one
take
solo, it's real and it's where i am right now. I could have dubbed but
there
was every chance that it wouldn't have sounded any better !
Gear - Ibanez Jem77FP ,Dunlop
Cry Baby, Digitech RP2000, ZOOM MRS 1044-CD,
Aria Avante Series Bass, Planet Waves cables.
Influences - Anybody who plays a guitar, regardless
of style / genre and
more recently the T2J posse for inspiration and continued motivation
and
sharing the knowledge.

I
started playing guitar when I was 14 or maybe 15, I had a spanish acoustic
guitar and started learning things on my own, after having a go at piano
and flute lessons. One day I dropped piano and concentrated on guitar,
so my father gave me a bunch of books and cd's which came with an electric
guitar. My passion had just started. I started trying things and learning
the basic stuff on my own, searching the web for lessons and cool stuff...
One day a friend of mine showed me an album called "Crystal Planet"
and I loved every minute of it! And so Joe Satriani became my inspiration,
my goal, my ideal of guitar playing! And since then he has helped me to
improve! :) So one day I got tired of doing things by myself and I searched
for a teacher. Then it was time to improve my equipment, now that I was
sure of the path I wanted to follow, so I saved money and bought a BOSS
ME-30 pedal, a Marshall G80RCD amp and, my dream come true, an Ibanez
JS900! Of course this took a while... b
ut then I started having lessons and now I'm still with a lot to learn
but I feel that I'm improving! And so I went to Joe's site and joined
the T2J forum and someone had this brilliant idea! And, though I'm not
much of a guitar player yet, I did a couple of recordings to try and contribute
with something to this CD as a way of thanking Joe for all he's done for
me! Hope one day I'll play like him...
INFO:
To record my track I used my Ibanez JS900 and my
BOSS Multiple Effects pedal plugged into the line in of the PC. The
software used for recording was Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. I also used an
audio sample of a train passing by. The song is called "Railroad
Jam" and it wasn't written. I just thought of some basic melody
and then improvised a bit. The drums are a wav loop, the bass is my
guitar with an effect I created with my pedal, the wah guitar is obviously
my guitar with a wah wah effect (lol) and the lead is my guitar with
distortion and also some chorus and reverb.

Gear
used was Gibson Les Paul, Digitech GNX3, Peavey Transtube 210, Cakewalk
Plasma/Pyro Software and me fingers. As far as a bio, I'm 27, retired
from the motorcycle business and like to waste time playing guitar and
watching Kevin Smith movies and all things Monty Python. Top five favorite
guitarists: Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and Stevie
Ray Vaughn. Can't really think of much else that is pertains to this.
I named the track Xenon because it's a rare gas element that was originally
thought to not mix well. I had a lot of problems mixing this track and
it's full of gas so there ya go.

Alexandre
Caetano |
From The Heart (The Start)
(4:48) |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Started
playing at the age of 15, shows greats influences from Joe Satriani,
Steve Vai, Gary Moore, and others. Dedicates himself to instrumental rock
guitar.
Alexandre Caetano was born in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal (28-Jan-1977)
and
from early on showed great interest in classical music (Mozart, Sibelius).
Classical and Flamenco guitars are also some of his other interests (Vicente
Amigo, Pierre Bensunsan).
Some national influences worth of reference are the great guitar players
Carlos Paredes (Portuguese Guitar), Gonçalo Pereira and Joel Xavier.
Alex's music reflects some of his day-to-day experiences, like bodyboarding
(yes, he likes to surf a good wave), travelling, and human relations in
general.
At the time he is composing songs for his first self recorded album. He
recently released a Demo, "From The Heart" with some of his
new songs.
Alex's message for
Joe:
"Dear Joe, I would like to thank you for all that you have done
all these
years, for that special and rich music that you have and continue to
give
the world. My very, very deep and sincere Thank You. This song is my
way of
showing appreciation for all that you are. Warm Regards, Alex"

Aarren
Mowle (mowlie_2000) |
Above & Beyond (3:25) |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Born
in Gravesend, Kent (Great Britain) on 13th June 1979 Aarren first picked
up the Guitar at the tender age of nine after hearing various live bands,
listening to people like "The Shadows", "Eric Clapton"
and "Chuck Berry" and taking after his Father who played Classical
Guitar and his Uncle who played, mainly, 50's and 60's music.
For the first two years Aarren was pretty much self
taught (although he was given guidance from both his Father and his
Uncle). It was in that time that Aarren learnt his first proper song.
That song was "Apache" by The Shadows and that song went on
to be the first that he ever performed live.
At the age of thirteen he decided to take lessons
from different tutors until he found one that could turn him from a
guitarist with a lot of potential to a great musician. The best tutor
that he found was a tutor called Steve Blades who, at the time, was
teaching at a Yamaha Music School in Bradford where Aarren lived with
his Father.
Aarren studied there until he was sixteen during
which he won the Yamaha Music School Guitarist Of The Year award performing
Joe Satriani's "Always With Me, Always, With You". At age
sixteen he then left Yamaha to study privately with Steve Blades as
the other students at Yamaha were holding him back even though he was
in the top class.
Aarren studied privately with Steve for three years
but when he was nineteen his Father moved again but this time to Warwickshire.
It was during his stay there that he applied to the prestigious Guitar
Institute in London. After being offered a place at this prestigious
school he decided to move back to Gravesend so he could commute between
Gravesend and London so as he could attend the Guitar Institute on a
daily basis. He graduated from the school in June 2000 with a Btec National
Diploma in Popular Music Performance.
Aarren's love and passion for the Guitar has never
disappeared, in fact, it has grown and grown. He is now a fully-fledged
Guitar Tutor and Session Musician.
