Date added: Tuesday, October 25 2005, 09:22AM Written by: Agilo (agilo3@gmail.com) Entry ID: 161 --- A few months ago I downloaded a lot of guitar movies (instruction videos and impressive music videos) which I watch on occasions. A few weeks ago I watched a movie called "John Petrucci - Young Guitar - Demonstrations.avi" in which there was a certain lick (guitar part) which I didn't know what song it was from. I asked band-mate; Ed, if he knew which song it belonged to. He said it was probably a song from John Petrucci's (only) album "Suspended Animation", and said I'd probably not find it (for downloading). Stubborn as I am, I searched anyway and after some 40 minutes I finally found a BitTorrent link (in your face, Ed! :P). After downloading it (with 60 KB/s, Ed! :D) and reviewing it (it rocks!) I finally found the song which the lick originated from; Animate-inanimate. Having found that, I searched for the guitar tabs and found a decent (if not, perfect) one of it on ultimate-guitar.com. :) I now know how to play the song (starting from where the finger-positions start) through to the end. :D It's hard to match John's speed, though. I can play it at about 2/3rd of his speed. :P Still though, with enough practice I can make this work (it's really an awesome lick!). I've practicing it for the last two days straight (whenever I can). :P Btw, a bit of side-info: I've fixed a few minor bugs in this weblog (mainly in the search engine and in the entries-per-page functions). There's also a slight bug with how the pages are shown (select "Page 1" and compair it with the fron-page), but since it doesn't matter much I'll leave it be (I don't wnat to completely re-invent the function :(). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
