As spring training takes off, we, the wonderful people of Razzball, thought it would be a good idea to look into some intra-team rivalries. What positions are a lock? What positions are being fought over? What positions will they hire me to fill-in for (second base Blue Jays, I'm looking at you)? Find out as the start of this series will focus on NL East…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jacob Turner
Two weeks ago we looked at the speedsters from 2013 and there were more than a few names on the list that were available on the waiver wire at some point. For deeper leagues and daily fantasy players that need to maximize each and every matchup, even the smallest advantages can mean the difference between a win and a loss. That's why we focused a lot on matchups this past year, and we'll do it again in 2014. Even the best base stealers get caught once in a while, so it's good to know as much as we can about who might be doing the catching before deploying our fantasy lineups. There's a lot that goes into a stolen base, of course, and the battery of pitcher and catcher is a large piece of the puzzle. Pitchers who are good at holding baserunners can be avoided while pitchers who have a tendency to cough up a lot of steals can be exploited. Here's how some starters fared in 2013 and over the last three years against the stolen base.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Damn, the planets had all lined up for Jacoby Ellsbury to be overrated for 2014 fantasy baseball. 50+ bases and only four times caught (!). Some power (8 homers) and solid counting stats (89 runs; 52 RBIs). Seemingly repeatable numbers for 2014. All he needed to do was get through this season healthy so people would forget how he can't get through a season healthy. Then, he goes and injuring himself. Now when I say to avoid him next year, people are gonna think I actually have a point rather than being the cracked out of his mind guy who invented something this weekend that I will only share with you. It's really for our four girl readers, but since guys are likely to buy it for their women, here it is: a Segway vacuum cleaner. Think of it as a ride-along Roomba! Brilliant, I know. So, as of right now, Ellsbury's in a walking boot. That sounds terrific. Almost as good as Salvador Perez when a loved one is on their death bed. Ellsbury headed off to the Steadman Clinic for a second opinion — 'bout time he started bringing in some money for Oprah! — and Ellsbury was diagnosed with a compression fracture. Ellsbury's not going to be back until the playoffs, in the best case scenario. I'd absolutely drop him. In his place has been Jackie Bradley Jr., who can walk multiple times in one game! Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Did you guys see that Clint Eastwood movie, "Trouble with the Curve"? No? Yeah, me neither. It got a 52% on RottenTomatoes.com, which is pretty awful, so I think it's safe to assume we didn't miss much. Anyway, I'm thinking the whole flick would've gone over better if it had just looped this clip from the Little League World Series over and over again:
Bhahahahahah. I laugh, but I'm sure my effort wouldn't have been much better. Your two-starters are below.

Please, blog, may I have some more?To misquote Lucinda Williams, "You don't have to prove your manhood to me constantly, Jim Johnson." Maybe prove it once in a while. Maybe once in a blue moon with a slice of orange to tie in your uniform. Yesterday, he blew his third save in a row and his league-leading ninth. As the Orioles vie for a pennant spot, the boo birds are probably out in full force in Baltimore. Or for the big-boned fans in Baltimore, the Boog birds. If it was simply based on performance or the will of my piercing brown eyes, Johnson would be doing mop duty dressed as a pelican and every time someone made a mess they'd point to Johnson and say, "I can't clean it up, but Peli-can." The Orioles really should give him a rest and turn it over to Francisco Rodriguez or Tommy Hunter. For those of you hoping to vulture some sweet, sweet saves, it's not a clear cut case of Johnson about to be removed, Lorena Bobbit-style. He's built up some goodwill over the last twelve months with 51 saves last year and 39 saves now. Also, the O's are Confucius non gratis as to who is their set-up man. K-Rod, his goggles and his dyslexic dor-K lifestyle has plenty of experience, but the O's have gone to Hunter to save a few games this year. I grabbed K-Rod in one league where I'm desperate, but this is a shituation that maybe even Peli-can't handle. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?How many times have you completely written off Francisco Liriano? Seriously. Probably four or five times, right? I know I've uttered the phrase "f**k that guy, I'm never using him again" at least once a year for the last five years. That's the way it is with him — the K-potential has always made him an interesting option for fantasy streaming, but until this year, I don't think he's ever helped my team. Not once. Which is what makes Liriano's 2013 production so absurd, and it's definitely no fluke at this point. Through roughly 90 IP he's posted a 2.23 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP while whiffing more than a batter per inning. And given his sub-3 FIP, the peripheral numbers bode well, too. I'm sure I'll have to write him off again at some point, but it's amazing to consider the path the 29-year-old Liriano has taken to transition from never-using-him-again streamer status, to one of the best arms in the league. He goes twice this week, making his debut in the must start tier. The rest of the week 18 two-starters are below.
As always, probable pitchers are subject to change. For a look at all fantasy baseball streamers, click that link.
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you're squeamish, don't watch the video of Tim Hudson getting hurt. That's what they say. This is like saying, "Your Christmas (Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus) presents are under the tree (Star of David, Star Jones, pole) and they're unwrapped, but don't look at them." Is there anyone in the history of mankind who's ever heard the phrase "don't watch this because it's too gruesome" and has actually stopped watching it. That sentence is brain crack! It's like your brain neurons suddenly start moving around like a Roomba in a closet, bumping into the sides, trying to get out. So, with that said, I wouldn't watch it. Hudson will need surgery and is out for the year. Well, if Eric Young was gonna step on his foot like THAT I wouldn't have been speculating for two months who was going to get bumped for Brandon Beachy. I've been saying for the last two months that I don't own Beachy. I think he's going to give a lot less than what you're expecting. Tommy John surgery causes most pitchers to lose control when they first return, and Beachy has a 5+ BB/9 in the minors. That would be near the worst in the major leagues. Edinson Volquez looks at that walk rate and says, "Whoa, pardner." You know the guy from Shadesville at the horse track who goes around picking up discarded race tickets hoping to find a winner, if you pick up Beachy, you might resemble that guy. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Matt Cain had his shortest outing of his career with 2/3 IP and 3 ER. At least Bochy had the sense in his giant watermelon-sized head to remove Cain quick enough that yesterday's damage was that of a bad Heath Bell outing. Wait a second, did I just compare Cain to Heath Bell? I just rang my own bell and answered with, "Holy crap no one wants to be compared to Heath Bell." Where did it all go wrong for Cain and can Cain (almost stutterer!) get it back to good, assuming you're not just signing a Matchbox Twenty song? Looking at his K-rate from last year to this year, he's actually been better this year. His velocity is fine. His xFIP is nearly the same as last year when he had a 2.79 ERA. The only big change is his luck and his walk rate. He's missing his spots. This can come one of two ways. He can miss his spots off the plate and walk guys or he can miss his spots in the zone and give up hits and homers. He usually works up in the zone. Done it his whole career. If you miss up…up, it's a ball. If you miss up…down, you're Sandy Duncan with one glass eye while watching with your other eye as the ball is leaving the park. The Giants are saying he might not be healthy, but I don't think Cain is hurt. Still could land on the Disgraceful List. More likely, he needs to tweak something in his mechanics. Until that happens, I'd stay away from him. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?This post comes to you by the power of Greyskull! I have the power! The power of Greyskull dropped Justin Masterson earlier in the year after one bad start. I have a power outage! Then the power of Greyskull watched as the power of Rudyskull picked him up and has been reaping the rewards ever since, but the power of Rudyskull benched Masterson yesterday, so the power of Greyskull let out a small, fleeting smile. Yesterday, Masterson threw a complete game shutout. He's been great all year with a 9+ K-rate. Yadda, yadda eff me. Just above him on the K-rate chart is a who's who of the pitchers you want: F-Her, Sale, Samardzija, Miller, Harvey, Yu, Scherzer, etc. etc. etc. He also has one of the worst walk rates in that group (not bad overall, just in that group), which will hold Masterson out of the top tier of pitchers this year, but will make him ownable in all leagues and why the power of Greyskull failed me. I wonder if Skeletor is hiring. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Josh Johnson looked solid yesterday (7 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 10 Ks vs. the Rockies). But Colorado away from home can be an easy match-up. Hey, Rockies, try doin' it in the land of Labatt! You've been Molson Iced! JB called this one in the comments yesterday. I did not believe. Though, I do look much more animated now. Like I just stepped off a yacht in a Miami Vice cartoon. I'm snorting cartoon drugs and listening to cartoon Phil Collins play cartoon bongos. What do you think of the new avatar? I just stepped off a boat yet my hair still looks adorable, right? The new avatar rates well in the 18-25 demographic; it's the Poochie of avatars. As for Johnson, I wouldn't mess with him. So far, he's been solid vs. NL teams, but, the thing is, he kinda, sorta plays in the AL. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Michigan Supreme Court has decided to let Detroit Public Schools emergency manager Roy Roberts remain on the job.
The court issued a unanimous decision Monday rejecting an appeal of a lower court decision upholding Roberts' appointment.
The case was brought by Robert Davis, an activist who has filed several suits challenging aspects of Michigan's emergency manager law.
Davis says the office of emergency manager should be declared vacant because Roberts didn't take the oath of office before he started the job last May. Roberts took the oath of office in August and again after his reappointment April 2nd.
The Court of Appeals ruled against Davis last year.

Bullet to the Head doesn't try to adapt its star to 2013. It just pretends that we're still living in 1986. And for 91 minutes, it just about works. Full Review
Chris Hewitt
Fun in parts, and Stallone's always watchable, but it's an '80s tribute movie that coasts along on rapidly diminishing goodwill. Beige Heat, if you will. Full Review

Sly can still fill a too-tight polo shirt at 66 - in the same way Jack LaLanne did in his later years. But no amount of movie magic can make him pass for a lethal and nimble juggernaut. Full Review

'Child Playing' Optical Illusion To Slow Drivers
Seen here luring an unsuspecting pederast out of his candy-laden vehicle, Canada is experimenting with the optical illusion of a child playing as an alternative to speed bumps and moose to help discourage speeding. I can see it now: "Damn -- look at how big that girl's shoes--" *CRASH!*
In what sounds like a terrifying experience, the girl's elongated form appears to rise from the ground as cars approach, reaching 3D realism at around 100 feet, and then returning to 2D distortion once cars pass that ideal viewing distance. Its designers created the image to give drivers who travel at the street's recommended 18 miles per hour (30 km per hour) enough time to stop before hitting Pavement Patty-acknowledging the spectacle before they continue to safely roll over her.
Despite fears that drivers may stop suddenly or swerve into actual 3D children, David Duane of the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation told CTV news that the bump was meant to bring attention to driver-caused pedestrian injuries, and that the fake girl should not cause accidents:"It's a static image. If a driver can't respond to this appropriately, that person shouldn't be driving...."
Listen: I hate to break it to you, Captain Traffic, BUT AT LEAST HALF THE PEOPLE DRIVING SHOULDN'T BE. Myself included. That said, you can bet your transportation safety ass I'm gonna swerve onto the sidewalk if I ever see that thing. You know, provided I wasn't up there already. What? It's like having your own little lane!

Judge dismisses Samsung suit seeking to ban iPhone 4 sales
Apple's older iPhones and iPads will still be allowed for sale in South Korea.
A judge for the Seoul Central District Court dismissed a lawsuit on Wednesday that was brought by Samsung and aimed to ban sales of Apple's iPhone 4 and iPad 2, according to Reuters. Samsung's claim was for more than $95,000 in damages.

Orchard City water distribution system leakage has shown improvement in the most recent audit conducted by the town. The latest water audit report was presented at the town board's June meeting.
Treated water loss from the town lines declined by more than ten percent from April to June. April's 13 percent loss figure declined to 11.4 percent in the audit conducted earlier this month — a decline of 1.6 percentage points.
The losses are on top of a base figure of 10-12 percent loss that is considered "normal" with a distribution system as large as Orchard City's, town officials say. The base figure loss amount is considered acceptable and water utility workers are trying to lower and eventually eliminate the 13 percent loss.
Trustee water committee member Jimmie Boyd noted that work crews had found "a couple of leaks" recently and had repaired them. Also, some leaking water lines had been discovered and repaired during the recently completed Pheasant Run subdivision water line replacement project, Boyd added.
Orchard City displays no intention of backing off from its program to find and repair water system leakage. Mayor Don Suppes also reported that the town is going to install some special "audit meters" at various points of the town system to help pinpoint where treated water loss is occurring.
The town is also involved in a project with a consulting firm to design a computerized "water model" of its system to help manage all system functions, including lead detection.
In other trustee business on June 12:
• Boyd and Mayor Don Suppes were complimentary of the Pheasant Run work done by Kissner General Contractors, and especially of the project cleanup work that was done in the residential neighborhood.
• Boyd also reported that work is progressing on a project to upgrade the private Northeast Thornton pipeline for acceptance into the town's distribution system.
• At the town board's upcoming July 10 meeting, trustees will have the chance to review the proposed Coalby cross connection contract, Boyd reported.
• Public works Director Mike Morgan reported that an outcropping of goat heads is especially bad on Iris Road, Vaca Road, and Nowhere Road. They are being "spot sprayed" using a tank and a four-wheeler, he said.

KBACKUP is intended for handling of backups no matter whether they reside on disk or tape or even in files. As most other backup programs available today are either confusing the user with lots of long command line options, or user friendly but not powerful at all, the aim behind writing KBACKUP was to provide a user friendly yet powerful backup program. It is also intended to be kept compatible to existing and well proven archive formats, so you can restore your archives even if you should not have KBACKUP around anymore.

Electric Guitar
T Bone Walker Blues Youtube
One of the greatest and most influencial electric blues guitar players of all time is T Bone Walker. Apart from playing very musical sounding single lines his chord voicings and double stops were outstanding. He died in 1975 at 64 years of age. When you hear Hendrix play a slow blues it's hard not to hear T Bone Walker. His playing was a lot more sophisticated than a lot of other players. The video Youtube blues song is called "Don't throw Your Love on me so Strong"
Pachelbel Canon Youtube Electric Guitar
When I listen to some of the players out there now on electric guitar it shows me how far we have come in the last 30 years. This guy is exceptional and his interpretation of Pacelbels Canon is a great lesson in being yourself, well at least taking the techniques that define your particular style and applying them to an already existing piece and giving it a new life.
Still Got the Blues – Gary Moore
It's very hard to have an electric guitar site that specializes in electric guitar and not to include Gary Moore – Still Got the Blues for You. This song is a minor blues, I've always found the minor blues (Built from using Minor chords instead of a standard seventh chords much more soulful and this tune is a perfect example of the emotion and depth of sadness that can come from minors. I just love that singing Les Paul sound. And in a way it reminds me at times of Carlos Santana at times on the slow notes. Gary Moore has exceptional control right up the top of the fretboard. I can't imagine how many players have been influenced by this tune and how many will be in the future. Hats off to Gary Moore.
Previously I posted about Gary Moore doing The Thrill is Gone with B B King, so if you enjoy this video, you'll like the other one. Click the link to got to the Article The Thrill is Gone
Daryl Stuermer Youtube Interview
Daryl Stuermer is not a guitar player that many people will know of. I first saw him with Jean Luc Ponty live playing the most incredible acoustic guitar in the seventies. He's also worked with Phil Collins and on many other projects, you may not know of him but I have no doubt you've heard him play.
If you are a guitar player you may be interested in what he has to say because he discusses the changes that have happened in the way that musicians now get their work out there into the music world.
Here is a link to his site Daryl Stuermer
Creedence Clearwater Youtube
Here's a great classic sounding youtube video of Creedence Clearwater Revival with John Fogarty's incredibly swampy sound playing the soul hit Heard it through the Grapevine.
Ronnie Jordan Youtube Jazz Funk Guitar
Ronnie Jordan is a very good contemporary jazz player, he plays very musically compared to a lot of other players and his emphasis is very much on feel. In this youtube video he is playing the jazz standard by Miles Davis called So What.
Robben Ford Blues Youtube
Robben Ford is probably the guitarist that I have been most surprised with over the years. When I first heard him in about 1979 he was a good solid player, at that point I had no idea he'd develop into the player that he has. In the blues rock field he's second to none. If you've heard him do Talk to Your Daughter and Born Under a Bad Sign you'll know what I'm talking about. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that I was asked to play one of his tunes in a band that it struck me how far he'd come as a player.' His ability to control the dynamics of a tune and change gears instantly is what I find extraordinary.
This video also includes a great Tutorial on what Scales Robben Ford uses in a blues.
How to be a Good Electric Guitar Player
Like many guitar players I comfortably move between electric and acoustic guitar, I also swap from plectrum to fingerstyle without even giving it a second thought and will often play both in the one song. This wasn't always so and it took quite some years to get to the point where the transiton was seamless, or in a way thoughtless, in this case thoughtless means without thought, not careless.
In the initial stages, as a rule most players want to be able to play just like the great or famous and not so great players and it takes quite some time to develop ones own musical voice, this means our own particular way of expressing through the guitar. But there are many players that don't develop their own musical voice but just rehash the work of others, to be honest with you I am not interested in that sort of guitar playin at all, and if that's where you are at you're probably at the wrong site.
Generally, if a person doesn't undertake some sort of formal or semi formal lessons that are well structured to take a player through a step by step process, which is well thought out to cover all aspects of music, the player will be missing a lot of real musical pieces and much of what they do will be imitating riffs and solos and playing rhythm parts of songs that they like. This is all very well but in the long run, it is an incomplete proceass and it will be a very long pathway to becoming a balanced guitar player musician who is equiped to play professionally.
The trouble with a lot of guitar players is they often only learn to play little bits of songs, does this sound familiar to you? A bit of a solo here, a riff, a rhythm pattern, a couple of chords, a few scales or modes and lots of facial grimaces and other odd expressions. When you look at the previous scenario and analyse it, you'll see that is very, very common amongst guitar players, particularly electric players and it is a very fragmented approach. Acoustic players will often play songs from end to end as they will sometimes sing as well, but this is not always the case.
I have an extremely simple solution to enable any guitar player to bring all the pieces together and become a good solid player who is capable of developing in a balanced way. Because I started playing 39 years ago and had formal lessons from very well respected guitar player / musicians, it gave me a great insight into what is required to develop wholistically as a player. The training I had involved the standard (what a lot of people would consider boring stuff), this included reading dots (musical notation) , understanding keys, improvisation using scales and modes, chord substituion, ear training and playing arrangements of tunes; the arrangements were complex by todays standards and were generally jazz tunes, or tunes with a truck load of chords in lots of different keys. Although all the things I have mentioned are extremely valuable, and in the long term are essential elements, I'm confident beyond a doubt that the most important of these things was playing solo arrangements of tunes (not to be mistaken for solos in the middle of songs).
And here's why. Simply, you are playing music, and this is the goal that needs to be kept in sight always, but the following is very important. When you play an arrangement of a song you generally play an intro, a good intro often hints at the song without playing the song itself, it will spell out where you are going. Learning to play good intros will help you develop an ear for coming in on time at the right place when you get the opportunity to play with other players. A well designed intro is fantastic for working with other musicians because there'll be no questions about where you are and where the song starts, this is essential; an audience, whether they are fully attentive or not will automatically, subconsciously make a decision on whether the song is going to be ok or not as soon as it starts, if musicians are not together in an intro they'll have to work that much harder to get the audience interested in the music; the audience will automatically tune out if it's not right.
When you enter the next part of a song, generally the verse, it is very important to be able to play a strong melody, this doesn't mean to be stiff in your playing but a good melody is alwys hummable and very MUSICAL. I developed a strong sense of melody by consciously sitting down and working out dozens of vocal lines of songs (in my case I read the music dots) . The way you phrase a melody is what will define you as a player, knowing just when to pause and exactly how long to be silent for, how long to hold the note to the minutest degree ; also having the ability to slide or bend notes and to play around with the dynamics of the notes, this means the volume and intensity, making sure there is a variation.
With the chorus of the song the same principles apply as when playing the main melody of the verse. What you will need to do is to initially is to learn to play the essential notes of the accompanying chords of the song, this does not need to be complex and in the early stages when you first learn a tune, you may like to just play the chord for just one beat whenever they change and use the melody note on top (the highest sounding note) of the chord, regardless, what is important is you get in the habit of playing melodies and chords together. As time goes on you can be a little bit more inventive and play around with moving bass parts a little and playing additional passing chords.
Knowing exactly where you are with the chords at all times will enable you to start to improvise. Initial improvisation when you are starting out may just be adding a few notes here and there to the melody and as you become more advanced you will be able to move further away from the melody and also subsitute some of the chords. Learning a few blues and country scales will be very helpful in giving you some simple ways of adding interest to the improvisation without having to fry your brain with comolex modes, and in many cases you'll find that using country scales are much more sensible than many of the other scales that could take you hours to learn but are really just major scales with fancy names because they start oln a different note than the key you are in.
OK, so where to start?
- Pick a simple song that you are very familiar with, just learn the melody, learn to hum it, if you think you can't sing, hum it even softer
- You may find that the melody is more suited to be played in another key on the guitar than the original one; if necessary play the melody starting on another note, make it easy for yourself so when you eventually add the chords you won't have to do finger gymnastics to play the chords and melody together and then find yourself giving up in frustration.
- The next step is to add the chords, make sure it is a simple chord pattern, if need be, leave out a few chords to start with. Often songs will still sound pretty right by dropping a few chords, you will be able to add other chords and additional parts later on.
- Once you have gotten to the point where you can play the melody and chords together, start to work back through the song playing the melody and chords with a small variation. Each time you play it through, alter it a little.
- When you are confortable with this, play the song through just using the chords and leave out the melody. Train your ear to hear where the chords are changing, I suggest that practice in your head without the guitar and visualise changing chords in your mind.
- Next, play only the chords once exactly where they change, if a chord goes for a while and is repeated, just change it on the first beat of each bar.
- Next play the chord followed by adding a little bit of guitar inprovisation, keep it simple, it often helps to hum what you hear in your head and then play it.
- After you have worked through the chords and improvise a few times, go back and play the melody and chords together again, as in step three and after you've done that a few times, return to the improvisation again. Keep it reasonably loose, there's no need to be in a hurry.
- At some point you'll need to add a simple ending; endings should be obvious sounding.
If you apply the above technique to a number of tunes, you'll find your playing will become very strong. You should aim towards being able to play in a manner as if you were accompanying a singer and suddenly he singer fell off the stage, you will automatically be able to take over instantly playing the melody and chords as if it was meant to be. You can always ring the hospital later to find out if the singer is ok. :-)
How Electric Guitars Are Made Youtube
I thought it would be a good idea to post about this youtube video on how electric guitars are made, this video was put together by the Godin Guitar Company. Lots of guitar players are not overly familiar with the process, it's worthwhile getting a bit of an understanding how it all works.
Over the years I have personally built a handful of guitars, both under the guidance of others and also by myself from scratch. One major difference between building acoustics and electrics is that building an electric for me was much more industrial than an acoustic. In the initial stages of building an acoustic it is very fine work done with hand tools, wheras when I built an electric it was more sensible to use electronic tools to save time and in the finishing stages, hand tools were introduced to do the finer tasks that required greater precision.
A number of techniques used here in this electric guitar construction video are also relevant for acoustic guitar. Keep in mind that not all luthiers will use the same procedures. Do yourself a favour, if you can get into a guitar workshop every now and then to get an idea how certain things are done it is well worth the visit, some simple setup tasks can easily done by the individual and knowing how to fine tune your instrument can be a great advantage.
Martin Taylor Youtube – Georgia Jazz Guitar
Some years ago I asked Ike Isaacs, a former guitarist from Stephane Grapelli's band, "who's the best?" He didn't hesitate at that time to respond Martin Taylor. Coming from Ike Isaacs it's a BIG call because Ike had played with Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, Howard Roberts, Ed Bickert…. the list is so long that it's a history of jazz guitar. Martin is a Scottish born guitar player, and at first when you watch or him play it may not be obvious how good he is. But follow his music around for a while and you'll begin to notice how exceptional he is. He's one of those players that matured at a young age.
Not all players need to look flash, scream or shred to show their greatness. Martin is no doubt one of the best players on the planet and most of the great jazz players are aware of his brilliance.
In this jzz guitar youtube video Martin Taylor is playing the jazz standard Georia on my Mind.
Steely Dan Youtube – Jeff Skunk Baxter – Denny Dias
Steely Dan has had some exceptional guitar players and this tune by the Dan is part of rock history. I remember getting this album around about the time it was released and on the back of it had a great article and it jokingly said, what the world really needs is another rck and roll band. Well in fact it did need Steely Dan and it gave us an introduction to Jeff Skunk Baxter and Denny Dias. Denny Dias never quite got the acclaim that the Skunk has gotten but listen to his parts in this youtube video. Unfortunately the cameraman that filmed this couldn't work out who was soloing in the great guitar break, so we miss a little of the Skunks sollo at the beginning. How good is that guitar riff? and then the harmony?
Steve Vai Youtube Tender Surrender
When I first heard this youtube video of Steve Vai I noticed how he'd drawn from three other great guitar players, all of which I've posted about recently. Whether it's intentional or not, it's what I hear.
The first guitarist that hear in this tune is Wes Montgomery Wes was the master of playing octaves, e.g he'd play an E and then at the same time he'd play an E further up the scale, this was one of his distinguishable characteristics of his playing.
The next player I hear in here is Hendrix, I'm thinking Little Wing and also the way Jimi would play a slow blues and use all those hammer-ons and pull=offs whilst holding down a chord.
The next player I here is Jeff Beck, the tone is so Beckonian to me. Yes Steve Vai takes it and runs with it but I definitely hear Beck in there. From there he starts to use more contemporay style of left hand technique. And from there he reeps back into Hendrix.
Now this is my opinion, you may hear other elements.
Leet Ritenour Steve Lukather Youtube
The only thing better than one guitar is two, the only thing better than one great guitarist is two. Apply the afore mentioned principle to a song by a musical genius e.g. Jeff Beck 'Because we've Ended as Lovers' and the result is something extraordinary.
Lee Ritenour crept or quietly exploded into the jazz rock scene in the late seventies both as a ession player and band leader, and Steve Lukather was turning many heads with his perfect recordings and work with commercial band Toto. Regardless of what style we prefer as listeners, do yourself a favour, watch and listen to this guitar video.
Eric Clapton Youtube Cream Crossroads
Eric Clapton with Jack Bruce on Bass and Ginger Baker on guitar helped define British blues. This recent recording of Crossroads the Robert Johnson traditional blues classic is an example of how musicians can take a musical idea and make it their own, in the same way that Hendrix redefined All Along the Watchtower. Some may not know it but in the sixties people were calling Eric Clapton God. In an Eastern mystical sense that is true and also if you say he's a guitar God, yep I'll back that one up for sure. The control Clapton has is unbelievable, the way he can shift the dynamics of a song in a split second has always interested me; from screaming lead to sensible accompaniment without blinking.
Larry Carlton and Robben Ford Youube
Larry Carlton scared the living daylights out of me in the seventies with his intro to the Steely Dan song Don't take me Alive. I was already familiar with his work prior to his work with the Dan. Robben Ford appeared on the scene a short time later. To hear these guys together is a bit of a treat, they function at a much higher level than most guitar players. That is not an insult to anyone at all, it's just that they have done the hard yards of study and working on seesions and with other world class musicians. Two guitars interacting is always a 'goer' for me. These guys are two of the worlds best jazz rock players. If you are not familiar with either of these players, I highly reommend exploring their work.
Randy Jacobs Youtube Boneshakers
I the mid nighties I was very interested in Guitar Construction. During that time I found an excellent book about Danny Ferringtons guitars, the book came with a CD sampler of Danny's guitars that he had made for some exceptional guitar players. One of the guitar players was a guy called Randy Jacobs. I've written about Randy because you may not have heard of him. The video is a production music vid but it features Randy on guitar and it won't take much for you to hear how good he is from the opening riff. His tone is superb and and he's feel for a song is second to none. And hey, how good is the guys voice.
Peter Green Youtube Albatross Fleetwood Mac
You may know Fleetwood Mac as a pop band. But prior to their massive success they were very much a blues band and amongst guitar players Peter Green was regarded as being at the top of the list playing his beautiful sounding Les Paul. The song Albatross did make it to the airwaves, it's very etherial and the restraint is something in this tune is to be admired.
Peter Green playing a blues on a strat
Here's Albatross
Joe Walsh with James Taylor Youtube
If you like electric guitar you'll love this, Joe Walsh. You may know Joe Walsh from the Eagles, but his musical history goes way back to the James Gang the band was with years ago and also Joe Walsh's solo albums with tunes like Time Out. This tune is James Taylor doing Steamroller Blues but I had to post about it he because of Joe Walsh's beautiful singing electric guitar fills are so good it would be a shame if you never got to hear his guitar fills.
Carlos Santana Youtube – Samba Pa Ti
Carlos Santana is the guitar player that for me has the sweetest distortion I have ever heard. There is a romantic side to every musician, some are a little afraid to admit it. But when I was 14, and that's 38 years ago I oddly enough had the intelligence (or testerone levels) to recognise the beauty of the song Samba Pa Ti. I first heard it on the Abraxas album, with the Greg Rollie playing awesome keyboards. I think that the Abraxas album was a milestone in contemporay music. From memory Santana as playing a Yamaha guitar here and I think at the time he was using Mesa Boogie amps.
Jeff Beck Youtube Nadia
If Jeff Beck's name that is mentioned amongst guitar players who have been around for years, it generally creates a feeling of humility. Regardless how good you be, it's always hats off to Jeff Beck. My first real awareness of Jeff Beck was on the Beck Bogart and Appice album in the early seventies, with tunes like Black Cat Moan and Superstion. This led me to explore his earlier work like Rough and Ready with Bob Tench on vocals and Max Middleton on keys and introduced me to tunes such as Definitely Maybe.
I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck play live once with Jan Hammer, the keyboard player. His tone is unmatchable by players, his technique unique because he plays fingerstyle, but it doesn't sound like it. His control of elecronics is so far ahead of most other players.
The Jeff Beck Youtube video is called Nadia. When I first heard it, my thoughts were that he had bridged the gap between Indian music and rock, and I don't mean Bollyrock. I mean the deep transcendal side of Indian music that digs deep into the soul of each us.
And yes, as a guitar player, I am humbled when I hear this tune.

Maybe you are feeling down because you think things aren't going to hold together. You are almost certainly magnifying things out of all proportion. It will take perseverance to sort out the situation which occupies most of your attention. But within a few days you'll feel much more solid. Your boredom threshold will be low, and you may jump into action just to avoid the tedious process of making considered decisions.
Burying your head in the sand ostrich fashion will not work, so get yourself into reforming mood. Changes will not happen overnight, maybe it will take months, but if you apply yourself with persistence you will be pleased at the outcome. Don't be too sensitive and interpret as criticisms things that others say which were never meant to hurt. Don't overreact until you have checked out what was intended.
If you dig down into the depths of every situation that can make you see only the difficult side of life. Remember there's also a bright side. Don't lose your sense of humor even if you are tackling rather serious matters. You have a sharp, fast moving mind now, but try to write things down since you can be absent-minded, forgetting your brilliant inspirations as soon as you have them.
If you are forced to examine certain situations in great depth, you will gain in wisdom. Out of your experiences other people will also learn first-hand about how to cope better. You'll need sensible reasons for doing everything and get irritated by workmates who are prone to flights of fancy. Let a little of your own creative imagination get to work.
You will have intense encounters for a few days. They may not be actual confrontations in the sense of a flare-up, but no one seems willing to co-operate as much as you had hoped. Achievements may be slow in coming, so don't expect instant results. There is no reason to pull your verbal punches now because you treasure the truth, so mates may need a thick skin. Your strong hunches will turn out to be accurate.
If you feel you're putting a great deal of effort into something which only brings minimal results, you will soon see that your efforts have not been in vain. You can create substantial, long lasting achievements now but you have to give it time. Confront those who share joint responsibilities with you in order to sort out better agreements. Don't be too stubborn.
Flaws and inadequacies in one relationship are beginning to show up. Are you taking too bleak a view of one situation or person? Lighten up a little. If you say too much when you are feeling critical, it will be more difficult to get back onto an even keel in the days ahead. Try acting the diplomat, it's your starring role, Libra! Your harmonious way of expressing yourself and desire to keep the peace will do wonders for your popularity.
There are benefits in standing your ground. The evidence may not come through for a few days, but you will be glad you rose to the challenge and didn't lose your cool. It may not feel very good just now, but the better things in life always cost a little in terms of effort. Do not focus unduly on differences others regard as too trivial to bother about; you will spot what they overlook.
As the Moon swaggers into big-hearted Leo, your personal magnetism gets a boost. It may not be obvious, but you will soon be aware that you have made strides. Positive changes will emerge in your immediate environment. You can give yourself a quiet pat on the back, because it will be largely due to your efforts.
Cut your losses and clear out what needs to be got rid of. Your life is moving in a healthy and positive direction. You will emerge as a stronger personality from your present stressful experiences. Try to resolve any resentments you have with partners. Watch you are not getting too close to subjects to see them clearly.
If there are sulks or broody silences around at home or at work, don't give in to them. The silent treatment can be very effective but only if you allow it to continue. Bring grievances out into the open as diplomatically as you can. Then you will find everyone suddenly starts to look more upbeat again. Make it your business to know everything about everybody at the moment, since you need to have all the facts at your disposal.
Tackle everything with thoroughness and leave no stone unturned. On the other hand don't get too obsessive. You could have a problem if you focus so narrowly on things that you can't see the broad picture. Your thinking and speaking will be all directed at the moment to whatever has a practical or financial purpose. Others may carp about your slowness, but you know it is vital to get everything right.

Derek Boogaard's going to make an awful lot of money for someone who never, ever scores.

In order to teach in state maintained schools or most academies in England you need to have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which is the professional qualification for teachers. QTS is awarded by the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL). European Economic Area (EEA) nationals who are recognised as qualified school teachers in another EEA member state may apply for QTS in England under the terms of Council Directive 2005/36/EC without the need to undertake further teacher training in England. You need to make an application for QTS to the NCTL. You can do this by downloading the application form from this page and following the completion instructions.
If the NCTL are unable to award you QTS, you will need to undertake a course of initial teacher training in England leading to the QTS award. There are a range of training options available which you can find out more about from this website.
Free Schools, including Studio Schools, University Teaching Colleges and Technical Academies, have additional freedoms and can appoint staff with alternative qualifications. For more information about Free School policy and projects, please see the Free Schools section of this website.

Brewed in March and drank in November. Got this bottle as a present from a badass Belgian dude in Oostvleteren.
Poured into a chalice. Comes out dark orange/brown with a small off-white head.
Lots of caramel sweetness and hopsss of the fruity citrusy variety especially lemon and orange.
Nice hit of bitterness that is somewhat balanced by the caramel maltiness. The hops give off a citrus flavor that the nose showed off.
Nice carbonation and medium bodied making for easy drinking.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Pours Amber with orange hues and with almost zero head.
Blood orange and some grape in the nose. More of a barley wine character. Resins and pine coming from the hops.
Almost candy-like. Still coming through as more of a barley wine. Fairly balanced between malt and hops. More blood orange. Sipping this one for sure as some alcohol notes come through. Candy and toffee comes to mind from what I would think would be crystal malts but the bottle says barley, wheat and rye. Comes through more complex then I would initially believe.
Not as boozy as I initially thought. Some alcohol, yes. Overall this is more of a barley wine bit there are some DIPA characteristics. Strong hop presence with slightly stronger malt characters. Doesn't finish as dry as some DIPAs on the market.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4
Poured into a Black Raven pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy medium coppery amber with a half finger off-white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, light and dark dried fruit, stone fruit, light citrus and light citrus hops; smells like an American barleywine. Flavor is caramel malt, vanilla, thick stone fruit syrup (but not very sweet), unusual light fruit esters, light citrus, grassy hops, lightly buttery. Finishes with lingering piney, citrus rind bitterness. Warming and a bit boozy. Medium bodied, lightly syrupy. An interesting take on an IIPA; reminds me of an aged English style barleywine, but drier. This was a freshly imported bottle (for whatever that is worth), so perhaps this has a small amount of age on it. If I was going to rate this as an IIPA, it would take some hits for not being to style, but it is quite good and satisfying to drink, so I'm letting enjoyment rule the ratings here. Recommended for fans of off-beat barley wine style ales.

4/5 rDev +2.3%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: Pours a hazy, cloudy golden orange with a thin, creamy beige mousse that sticks around far longer than expected despite leaving very little in the way of lacing.
S: Aromas of caramel, honey, cream, biscuit, juniper berry, pine, cedar, herbs, lemon, lime, tangerine, and mandarin orange are heavy on the nose.
T: Notes of caramel, honey, brown sugar, biscuit, cream, pine, spruce, cedar, herbs, juniper berry, lemon, lime, kumquats, bitter orange, mandarin orange, tangerine, and grapefruit are underscored by heavy, fiery alcohol. The finish is malty and sweet with robust notes of cream, honey, caramel, and brown sugar mingling with kumquat, herb, lemon, lime, pine, and juniper berry flavors before intense, fiery, almost peppery alcohol takes over on the fade.
M: Relatively full in body and sticky. This is not a dry ale; in fact, it could almost be mistaken for an American strong ale or barleywine. Carbonation is incredibly subdued, imparting a silky, creamy texture after the initial stickiness has faded. Alcohol presence is very pronounced, even for the style, but really is not all that much of a distraction. Honestly, the alcohol kind of tames the extreme malt sweetness and hop bitterness in this beer. Definitely a sipping ale.
O: For an imperial IPA of 10.00% abv, this ale is fairly easy to drink. It lacks the pronounced citrus and pine flavors of many American examples of the style (at least to a certain extent), but has a wonderful malt body and a unique earthy, herbal, woody hop bitterness that lets it stand out from the crowd. One can easily tell that this is a European brew, and I mean that in the best possible way. Another winner from this brewery, and a refreshing change of pace for fans of bold, hoppy strong ales.

500ml into a pint
A - Pours a deep brown color. Pretty opaque color. Off white head formation, not much for being retained.
S - Hefty nose profile, lots of hops - citrus and fruity. Some background of caramel malts.
T - Starts off with some citrus hops, very fruity. Mid-stream gets some bitterness. The big malt backbone makes its way through. Some alcohol warmth in the finish.
M - Full bodied, thick and sugary. Not much for carbonation. Some alcohol warmth as it stis on the tongue.
O/D - A huge big Double IPA. Lots of everything, super heavy hop profile that leans heavily towards the citrus. Filling of course, goes down slow but easy.
