Notable Accomplishments

[basics]

Anybody want to get some well deserved attention by bragging about the stuff they've pulled in the past?

I don't have much... I organized 5 decently sized 12 hour festivals up here in which I could've made a crap load of money but charged pretty cheaply and gave all profits to charity. Other than I just got a bunch of musical experience - 11 yrs guitar, 10 yrs jazz bass, gr 8 piano, 4 yrs pvt violin lessons and a bit of tuba.

Anybody else got something they feel proud of? Not necessarily of this nature mind you.

Yes indeed!

I thought of a way of organising scales based on how many notes they can have in common if they are optimally arranged. Similarity can be objectively quantified in terms of number of notes shared. IT is possible to find ways of moving between scales that have several different notes by moving through scales that have more notes in common with each other.
I compiled tables of comparison for about 60 scale forms (and that excludes modes like say Aeolian is a mode of the major scale).

If this doesn't make sense then visit my brother's website at www.classaxe.com and go to "friends", "Andrew F."

Other than that I'm proud for working so hard at guitar; it's not a natural aptitude I'm totally ham fisted at most things but that doesn't stop me from being able to tap arpeggios out with my fingers and thumbs. I'm the only player I know who uses the right hand thumb in my playing. If you want a tutorial on it there are some on this site.

Notable Accomplishments:

1. The day I finally mastered Vai's "For the Love of God."
2. Having a threesome with two hot sorority chicks (I have seen the promised land.....and it is good).
3. Walking home drunk from a bar and pissing on a parked police cruiser (Come on....that takes balls...admit it!!!). At the time I didn't care if a cop was in it or not....I had to pee like a criminal.

I am, with no exaggeration, the most humble person in the world.

I'm not.

I'm drowning in your sea of irony.

Do you have a recording of you playing this song? I'm not questioning whether you did it or not, I just want to hear what your version sounds like.
