I'm trying to remember back to Uni now. But I think Stravinsky in his Neo-classical phase used to borrow a bit from Purcell, especially the bass parts so it's probably a good shout. Of course you can't go wrong with Stravinsky. Be interesting play along especially if you like Zappa. We did a prog rock version of parts of The Rite of Spring at college. One of the best things I've ever done musically.

Wonderful, love a bit of Bela. Fantastic stuff

That's how I started. My first teacher was a classical guitarist. Started me off playing Bach etudes on my Encore P bass.

Wasn't that something to do with the operation he had on his sinuses between Slide it in and 87. Wasn't he out of action for a year or two. I remember hearing an interview with Def Leppard around Hysteria and Joe Elliot was saying he was just happy that Cov was back and able to sing again. I love Coverdale and think he still sounds good on 87. But that was his last hurrah in terms of the top of his range. He sounds awful on Slip of the Tongue. Still awesome in lower register tho.

I went backwards through Whitesnake. Steve Vai was my entry. I loved Stevie when I was 14, still do. At around that time Greatest hits came out but it was just the Geffen era. They toured at the same time, 94 I think. I saw them at Manchester Apollo. I was 15. It was so uncool to be into that stuff at that age in 94. Anyway that got me into late whitesnake and I just went backwards through it and tbh I prefer the early stuff. Come and Get it being the best album to me!

Might just take your life is a great track. Burn us probably their best album. I was at music college in the 90s when i was 16 and one of lecturers started playing Might just take life on piano. A mate and I were buzzing cos he knew it and he was surprised that we knew it!

These two. They are just kicking donkey on both em.

I think I know him!

All true but tbh Chad is the one in the chilli's who does it for me.

I'll give you £1999.99, not a penny more!

Are you telling me I've been ripped off?!?!?!?!!

Sex and Religion by Steve Vai

That's the only maiden album I like. Song writing is very good on that album.

Current Production techniques, what not to do, what things are popular by examining things common to each record. Performance notes

Maybe you don't have to get into this subjective, what I like, sales figures, my dad's bigger than your dad stuff. I think he's just saying if you actually listen to things with an open mind you can pick things up that may help you, teach you, improve you or spark ideas. You don't have to like the stuff. I don't think he's saying you have to like everything.

A bit of funk here

You'll be telling me the pope is protestant next!

Hit it a few times then scream at it. That usually works

I gave up after 9999 and a half hours. I decided it wasn't for me!
