    How about a couple from Billy Gibbons:
    
    (on pinch harmonics)  "Graze that twine and make it whine."
    
                          "Spank the plank."
    
    Brian

"Man, that dude(ette) really shreds !"

    
     "Flailing" - where you whip into a frenzied lead, impress everyone
    including yourself, have no idea how you just did that (but it sounded
    good), and then you realize you couldn't do that again if you had
    a hundred tries under the best conditions.
     "Flubbing" - same as the above, but it didn't sound good at all,
    no one is impressed, and as a matter of fact they did notice it!
    
    						-BoOm-
    				(who's done his fair share of both)

    "Shred" to learn and play a tune at the same time.
    "Noodle" to improvise.

    a Shredder is a manic lead guitarist with insane chops!

RE: .7

yeah, yeah... thats it !

    I thought the Shredder was the #1 enemy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja
    Turtles!?

    He is dude, he was a student of Splinter before and a member of the
    foot clan, then betrayed his Master and turned the Foot into a bad
    organization. Shredder is responsible for mutating Splinter and the
    Turtles. 
    Toenail whose guitar in the works will be a nice dark shade of Green
    with April on it and Splinter on the head. Solid body, les paul tail
    and Nylon strings with a transducer, metal string machine heads.
    Maybe I'll skip the green, thou...

	jeff becks guitar shop, (the name sake tune "Guitar Shop")
is great for this.  Check it out.

Personally I like :

	
	Mean Head Cuttin	(Good leads..)
	Wicked Head Cutter	(Good lead player)
	Beat me back four	(Two guitar players, one four bar solo,
				 following four bar solo)
	Slick the gut		(Obvious...)
	Full Shred		(hot pickups ??? not sure about that..)

It flanges, it Phases !  It's got Humbucking pickups and locking trem -
FULL SHRED !

	According to a recent interview w/Buddy Guy I read

	Head Cutting: playing a gig from inside the John!

    These aren't exactly slang, but musical mneumonics.  These 3 I know,
    are there anymore?
    
    If Dora Plays Like Me Alls Lost - used to memorize all the modes for
                                      scales.  Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian,
                                      Lydian, Myxolodian, Aeolian, Locrian
    
    Empty Garbage Before Dad Flips  - used to signify the notes that fall
                                      on the lines in the musical staff.
                                      E - G - B - D - F
    
    FACE - is a mneumonic for the notes that fall on the spaces in the
           musical staff.

    Ok I guess this is the best place to ask, although it confirms my
    ignorance...scuse me. But what in hell do these symbols like 8^) or
    of the abreviations that you guys use mean. I figured out IMO as Im My
    Opinion, or BTW as By The Way. Looking thru the notes, there's a bunch
    of 'em, symbols, acronyms, and mneumonics. Unless it's a secret code
    for some fellowship or order, would someone who knows and uses them
    clue me in?
    
    Thanx - Sakman   

    
    The punctuation things like
    
    8^)
    
    are "smiley faces".  Look at it sideways, it's like a face, right? 
    Well, as close as you can get with VT100 graphics....most people have a
    favorite personalized variation.
    
    Acronyms?  Mnemonics?  Lots of 'em.

Yeah, see:

8^)	(Wide eyed)

Whatever.  Be creative. FWIW (For What It's Worth)

Cia0,

Yo, Coop,

	RE: 8^)	(Wide eyed), I use the 8 'cause I wear glasses, not necessarily
	because I'm wide-eyed about anything.

--Chuck, long-time glasses wearer 8^)

Definetely a personal thing.  It gives your sometimes dreary username
and dreary notes a little personality.

jc

    Somebody finally told me what FWIW is!
    
    I didn't have the nerve to ask!
    
    Cool  [^)

FWIW, Will, all you had to do was ask...

    Then there's always.....


    :^o		Look of surprise

    :^Y		Giving a kiss....I don't remember where I saw this first (rare)

    8*)		Clowning around

    :-Q		Cigarette hanging out of mouth....indicates a smoker

    :-X		"OK, I've Shut Up!"

    $^)		Wearing cool shades


    It's interesting how different folks use different symbols for the nose

    		:^)  :-)  :)  :v)  :.)  8o)  :@)

    These look different depending on what type of terminal you're stuck
    with....ie. VT100, VT300, DECwindows, etc.

    Oh well, so much for keyboard diddling.

    Oh, just one more.....please....


    B^)		This one cracks me up...looks like Batman to me

I know what LERDS-BIM means,, Do I get to moderate now ?

(I wont disclose it unless provoked..)

    LERDS-BIM = "Len (Fehskens), Edd (Cote) and Ron (Ross) Big Important
    	Meeting"
    
    It's basically a weekly get-together of COMMUSIC noters (Len, Edd &
    Ron are sorta the "founders).
    
    	db

    It's properly the

	Fat Cats Get Dizzy After Eating Butter == order of sharps
		reverse for order of flats.

	for Newcommers:

	Even Actors Do Good Beating Elephants == yer strings

	DYLIW you know all yer TLAs.

No, no no....  it's:

Even Alcholics Do Good Before Eleven

;)
jc 

    I heard it was:
    
    Every A****** Deserves Great Beatings Everyday

Another one for the order of sharps (inverse order of flats) is:

Fat Cows Grazing Daily Are Edible Beef

Kind of goofy, but if it helps ya remember...

gh

    
    For the bass clef
    
    Spaces......All Cows Eat Grass.
    Lines.......Good Boys Deserve Free Ale.
    
    For the order of sharps & flats I use the following cos' it makes sense 
    (sort of) both ways.
    
    Sharps.......................Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle
    
    Flats (reverse of sharps)....Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father.
