Conference napalm::guitar

    Wow !  Is there an echo in here ?   8^)
    
    Guess what ?  I've got one for ya already ... heh heh heh ... TFSO
    blues in E ... wagagaga ...
    
    
    Scary (who sez, BUCK .... post us an address bub !)

    As with VOL III, which seemed to be compiled without a hitch lets offer
    some guidelines for submissions:
    
    o  Send me something that's FINISHED, requiring NO eq'ing (I have
       minimal equipment...thanks!)    
    o  Let's shoot for a deadline of Jan 1st, 1992, or when I receive
       90 minutes of material.
    o  I also encourage those folks WITHOUT big_bucks recording gear, etc.,
       to submit entries.  This isn't a contest, it's an overview...so lets
       hear it !!!
    o  If you give me a 90min tape with your entry, I can send you your
       copy back on it, if you so choose.
    o  Otherwise, I can send folks a copy on a hi-bias Maxell for $3
       including postage.
    
    As with VOL III, I don't want to get bogged down in details in this
    effort, so - send me tapes!

    
    Send 'em to ....
    
    		Bill Buckley
    		105 Apple Ridge Road
    		Maynard, MA  01754

    Original, eh ?   8^)
    
    As you will hear in a few weeks, Vol. III is gonna be hard to top.
    
    
    Scary (who has a pre-release version in da truckster as we speak ...)

    I said I didb;t wanna get bogged down in details...
    
    8^)  ;^)

    Well, it worked like a charm for me .... good luck to ya !   8^)
    
    Scary

    I think Boom, Greg House, Mike Heiser, and a host of others should be
    MADE to cough up an entry.  
    
    Or endure constant ridicule on a daily basis ....  8^)
    
    
    Scary

    RE COUGHING UP:
    
    	Count me in for this one.  I'm going to start on this one at the
    weekend.  I'll make sure I include a few dingo and kangaroo noises.
    
    
    "Apple ridge rd"!!!!!!!! you americans crack me up.
    
    	PS as I am coming to the US in APR point me to the best store to
    pick up second hand gear (from guitars to mikes and recording stuff)
    I'll be going pretty much everywhere so give me some addresses.
    
    			Thanks P.K.

    
    As per another note I entered, I have an acoustic jobbie to send in.

    RE: .7
    
    I live on a ridge, that has an apple orchard encompassing it.  What
    ELSE would you call a road that goes up the side of it?!?!?
    
    You Aussies crack ME up...throw another shrimp on the barby and send in
    a VOL IV submission!!  8^)

    Actually we call shrimps,prawns but I'll throw one on and send in a
    tape (gee I hope I'm up to standard) 8^)
    P.K.

Count me in !

We recorded our who gig last night.  Two 90 minute tapes worth of metal from 
Motley Crue to LA Guns.  Should be able to find 3 songs to send out...

jc (Collectin' cabs)

    Absolutely, I been dyin to do this. I missed the third submittal
    because I got extremely busy here for a few weeks. Now the fires are
    under control, I 'd love to have you guys give me a listen. I even got
    a new 424 just the other day. So unless I get canned (layoffs coming
    in Sept I hear) or something else, count me in. In fact, I'd suggest
    that we make this a regular event, say bi annual.
    
    "sakman"

> In fact, I'd suggest
>    that we make this a regular event, say bi annual

	Or continuous... (once the current suck... um, compiler:-) has
	90 minutes worth put out a new tape).

	We just got a 424 ourselves, once we find the time and
	patience to put down something a little tighter than our
	initial attempts, we'll be sending something in...

	Mike

I think we should all pick on Charlie Hall to send in his submission !
Send mail to IMTDEV::HALL.  :)

This dude has jammed with Pete Segar !

jc

    Just a reiteration (sanity check) here folks...
    
    The GUITAR Noters tapes are about PLAYING.  This is NOT the Audio
    Engineering conference!  This is NOT the COMMUSIC conference.  Just
    wanted to make that clear on submissions.  I don't give a crap if you
    record yourself playing solo guitar in the middle of a freeway on a
    $5.00 Radio Shack cassette player...sound quality does not matter here.
    
    So, don't worry if you don't have $10K worth of recording gear, or that
    you're not the next Eddie Kramer...that's not what this is about.
    The Volume 4 compilation is currently under way...if you have a
    recording of your playing...send it in.
    
    Best regards,
    Bill

    Hey everyone...
    
    Well, seems as if we've hit a lul in the submissions for GUITARnotes
    VOL IV, so I just thought I would put in a status note...
    
    Again, there is no final submission date, and the tape will be
    available when 90 min worth of music has arrived.  So far, only
    20 minutes or so has been accounted for.  So, if you have something
    you'd like to submit to VOL IV...send it to:
    
    	Bill Buckley
    	105 Apple Ridge Road
    	Maynard, MA  01754
    
    
    Regards,
    Buck

I have something and will send it down within a week or so, final mixdowns are
scheduled  for tomorrow...

dbii

    Just an update here folks...
    
    The submissions are really starting to flow in here.  So far, I
    have about 40 minutes (most of Side 1)...Still about 50 minutes
    left to fill.
    
    If you have submissions, send em in.  My address is posted in -2.
    
    If you think you might have something done in a month or so, send it
    in.  Once again there is no submission date...just until the tape
    fills up (which I'll keep you posted on as the submissions continue
    to flow in).
    
    Laterness,
    Buck
    
    PS - You can send you submission on a C-90, and I'll gladly return
    them with the compilation

    I've just 'released' an 'album' of originals which I'd like to get some
    feedback on.  There's about 40 mins of material; is there a limit on
    what an individual can get on the GN tape, or could the whole thing
    fit, or would some other method (private distribution) be better?
    
    In any event, I'll be slingin' a few your way, Buck.  -jn-

    I'm filling a C-90 worth of material.  There are about 45 minutes worth
    of time left.  In all fairness, I'd like to see 3 tunes submitted,
    tops, to allow the most available entires and styles on this release. 

    Well, I submitted a LOT of material to VOL III, but some was just
    filler material, since I wanted to get this thing out to the masses.
    
    My suggestion, enter the best 3, save the rest for the next volume.
    
    Scary 

    I agree with Buck.
    
    There's a couple of things to consider that aren't obvious unless
    you think about them
    
    I think if you want to fill a whole tape (or even a major portion of
    one):
    
    	1) You could really just offer the tape yourself.  
    
    	   I mean someone wanted to do that when I was the COMMUSIC tape
    	   guy and I rejected it  - think about it - it is, in effect,
    	   asking me to be his recording company (make all the copies,
    	   hassle with the distribution, etc.)
    
    	   I know you didn't intend this when you asked the question,
    	   but in effect your asking the GN volunteer to do a lot of work
    	   mainly for just you and (unlike a "sampler" from several
    	   contributors) it's something you could do yourself.
    
    	2) I pretty sure the concensus is that something that is CALLED
    	   a "Guitar Notes" tape should be a "sampler" from a variety
    	   of noters.
    
    	   I intend to get EVERY GN and COMMUSIC tape that comes out
           because I want to hear at least a "sample" of what every
    	   other noter is doing.
    
    	   I certainly do NOT intend to buy every single "album" that
    	   every noter produces - just can't afford it, even at media
    	   cost.  There's a lot of you guys and you are very productive.
    	
    So, I hope you see that when you think about it, it's really a bad
    idea.
    
    	db

    db,
    
    I realized at the time that asking for an entire tape side was an
    inappropriate request, and that the obvious solution is to distribute
    myself.  I just wasn't sure how to distribute to an unknown audience
    (that is, an audience containing some who might see it as 'junk mail').
    I think that by announcing here that a tape is available, and submitting
    a few tracks, those who are interested can privately request a copy from me.
    I guess that's the whole theory behind a 'sampler', even though it may
    not be the intended purpose of the GN tapes.  -jn-

    ...a quick Vol IV FYI:
    
    Submission are really rollin in.  A couple are on the way from a couple
    of noters doing quick and final mixes.  I'll give a final time tally
    when I receive the three "promised" tapes on the way (you people know
    who you are!)  ;')
    
    Cheers,
    Buck
    
    PS - This tape sounds great already...I think you all will be
         pleasantly surprised/pleased!
    

    Wow, I'm really impressed with the material that has been sent in so
    far!!!  I think you all will be pleasantly surprised.  So far I've
    received tape entries from Bob Schuchard, Justine Sullivan, Dave Bottom
    (Mr. KH_II!), Jim Cheney, Joe Minville, and Jon Nelson.  I'm waiting on
    submissions from Tom Desrochers/Bob Conroy, Coop, Brian K, Cheryle West,
    Tom Gallo, and possibly from Mr. KH himself, B()()M!
    
    We'll have to see how we're doin time-wise in the next few weeks.  I'll
    keep you posted on the progress of VOL IV.
    
    Later,
    Buck E Lee, who *may* do (1) tune with db (the original db)

    I think it's time for Greg House to sling something your way as well !
    
    Scary (who knows he's got a tape *almost* ready ... 8^)

Hey I was the Original db, he stold the pname from me!

dbii just another nice guy! :-)

RE: Jerry

Yeah man - I've heard the tape.  You wouldn't beleive the Santana/Garcia/Young
references on that tape.  Greg, Skip and I both agree dood - You're style is
MEGA-Flower.  Is it cuz of the long rides to work in your van ??

:)

    > Hey I was the Original db, he stold the pname from me!
    
    Somehow, I knew that remark was going to draw comment.
    
    	The original db

    I don't know why Buck didn't have me on his list, I promised him a
    couple of songs long ago.  Just gotta find someway to copy 'em as I'm
    having equipment problems!
    
    Greg

   Can we have a primary list of everyone so far? 

Like..."TV Guide gets a peep show preview of the coming season's Muzak"?...

    >Can we have a primary list of everyone so far? 
    >
    >Like..."TV Guide gets a peep show preview of the coming season's Muzak"?...
     
    Ok, well, in the "received" dept., Tom Gallo sent in one original tune
    of AOR-style rock.  Joe Minville has two (an original and a cover)
    featuring himself on guitar with his post-60s surf-punk band, Instant
    Now.  Justine Sullivan sent in three excellent (original) acoustic folk
    numbers.  Bob Schuchard's submission consists of three (original) songs
    in varying musical styles.  Dave Bottom sent in two AOR-style rock
    originals, one (Hold on) featuers a killer guitar sound (KH's) and
    hook!  Jim Cheney sent in three acoustic-based original tunes with a
    folk/country edge.  Jon Nelson sent in two original AOR-style rock
    tunes.
    
    In the "expecting" dept., I'm awaiting one jam tune from Tom Desrochers
    and Bob Conroy, one or two (cover?) tunes from HardBall/Coop, two
    original rockers from Brian K, a live rocker (cover) from Cheryle West,
    a studio tune (original?) from Greg House, and possibly one or two
    (cover?) tunes from B()()M!
                               
                          
    Cheers,
    Buck

>    a studio tune (original?) from Greg House, 
    
    Two original studio (home studio anyway, not live) tunes...
    
    gh

Greg,

Come on over tonight and we'll put both our submissions on one tape
and ship it off to Buck... We can dupe the return tape.  We can work 
out the details.

HardBall stuff:

Devils Games - Original
WarPigs - BlackSabbath/Faith No More
Another Thing Comin' - Priest (Yeee-haw...)

Stuff is live, but recorded on 4 track.

    
      I should be getting a couple of covers off to BUCK from my
    last two bands (one for sure!). I'll be getting the stuff together 
    for an original by the next tape.
    
    							-B()()M-

    
    Buck,
    
    I think Jim Cheney sent you only *1* original....
    
    The others are by Neil Young (one with CSNY, the other with original
    lyrics replacing the old ones).
    
    
    guy

    -1
    
    Thanks for the info, Guy...his tape was sans liner notes, so...

    
    No problem, Buck.  Just get yer facts straight next time, okay?!?!
    
    ;-) ;-) ;-)
    
    guy

    Received tapes from John E. Derrico and Tom Benson today!!

    Well, I didn't think I would have to do this, but looks like the time
    has come...to set a deadline!!
    
    The compilation for GUITARnotes Volume IV is very nearing completion!
    There is about 15 minutes of spare time left on the tape (total) to 
    fill, so at this point, I would like to say:
    
    "If you plan to send something for Vol IV, please start making
    arrangements to finalize mixes, make copies, send tape.  I'm going to
    set aside Friday, January 10th as the LAST POSSIBLE DAY that I will
    accept ANY tape from ANYONE.  If by Midnight on 10-JAN-92, I do not
    have a tape in my hand, consider it material for GUITARNotes Volume V!
    Actually, at the rate tapes have been flowing in, I expect the time
    left on the tape to be filled far before the 10th (but it's a date,
    just in case!)."
    
    And with that, lets start looking forward to GUITARnotes Volume IV...
    quite possibly the best CVG::GUITAR compilation to date!
    
    'gards,
    Buck

    
    re .32
    
    Just to clarify, I sent Buck my 3-song demo tape.  The first 2 songs
    are originals, but the 3d song (the one he's using on Vol IV) is a cover
    of an old folksong.  Don't want anyone thinking that I claim to have
    written "The Water is Wide!"  :-)
    
    Justine

    Well kids, I just got a tape from Tom Desrochers and Bob Conroy
    yesterday.  Tapes are on the way from our beloved B()()M and
    Goderators-at-large Jeff Cooper and Greg House.  At this point,
    I'd like to say "cease" on sending tapes.  I'd like to wait until
    this lot comes in to see where we are at time-wise.
    
    BUT, don't worry...if you sent something in, and it can't seem to fit
    on Volume IV...there appears to be more than enough material to fill
    Volume V.
    

    Is there any room on IV for more material?

   I think that the tape is full as of last count... There has been
a few notes that were blown away with the last system crash... There
had only been an older copy of the backup.. Those had indicated that
any new entries should be put on hold for future use.

   Any new status Buck?

   I think that new tunes would be a job for GuitarNoters Tape V...
I can't wait for that...

Who want's to volenteer for that one...

    No new status.  The Master Tape compilation has been coming slow, with
    equipment problems (both stereo and GTS) and other misc committments,
    VOL IV has unfortunately been held up.  I an planning to complete the
    already started Master Tape arrangement this weekend, with dups
    coming next week to people.
    
    B.

    Buck-man, Turner, Overdrive,
    
    Any word on that Vol IV tape? Tom D. and I have a contract with
    Warner Bros. to release a movie about the making of Guitarnotes
    Vol IV timed with the release of the tape. You're holding us
    up.
    
    Thanks,
    Bob
    
     8^)

    In light of all the recent double-releases (Springsteen, G&R), perhaps
    we could synch the release of GNIV with the soundtrack for the movie?
    
    Who's up for 'Bride of GNIV'?

    Hopefuly Buck and I will get together soon to talk about the details.
I have offered to help get the tape to completion. The street date should
be soon.

Stay tuned.

/John

    
    Speaking of double releases, maybe we should make it a two album set
    and include Vol. V...........
    
    guy

    Work slowly progresses on VOL IV.  Sorry guys n gals, but I am very
    very very very busy these days in my non-DEC hours, and, well, I hope
    you understand.  I do plan to make this sealed and copies being sent
    out asap.  Definitely by the end of April, fwiw.

    Ok kids, an update on this bugger...
    
    The master tape is DONE!  Copies are being made now, slowly but surely,
    by me.  I'll start sending some out the door ASAP (read next week).  A
    fellow noter has offered to help me with the dubbing, so it may move
    quicker than expected (hopefully!!)...I'll know better later next week.
    
    This is a great tape!!  Lots of diversity...I think every genre is
    represented here!  I really think it will have been worth the wait.
    Below is a listing of the final track layout:
    
    TRACK NOTER		    COMPOSITION	        NOTER		COMPOSITION
     				
    01 	  Justine Sullivan  The Water is Wide	Tom Benson	Fa-hoo
    02	  John Derrico	    Manchester Days	Mike Heiser	Greater is He
    03	  Joe Minville	    What am I to do?    Mike Heiser     Only One
    04    John Reaume	    Best What I've Got  Bill Buckley    Leavin
    05    Bill Buckley	    Bringin me Round    Dave Bottom     On the Mountain
    06    Dave Bottom	    Hold On		Tom & Bob       6 String Shuffle
    07    Justine Sullivan  Lil Piggy's got...	Tom Gallo	Long Gone
    08    Cheryle West	    Goodbye to You 	Greg House 	Picture of You
    09	  Jim Cheney	    Country Girl	Jim Cheney	Fishin Time
    10	  Jon Nelson	    Mandolin Tune	Todd Brown	Sky Pilot
    11    John Reaume	    R&R Party in St.	Bob Schuchard	Cliche's
    12    Bob Schuchard	    Hiway Song		Greg House	Out the Door
    13    Tom Desrocher	    Crossroads
    	  & Bob Conroy
    
    
    NOTE: As some of you may note, some songs sent for submission did not
    make it onto this tape.  Sorry, but since I received SO many
    submissions, I felt it better to mix the tape up with diverse styles
    and noters, rather than have 3 or 4 songs by one person.  I gave each
    noter a 2 song limit.  Sorry if there are any hard feelings, but look
    at it this way, it should give Guitar Notes Volume V a good head
    start!!
    
    Good to see some RO noters on this tape!!  Welcome aboard!
    
    ...and away we go
    
                                                

    FYI...
    
    TAPE ORDERING:
    
    Someone asked me off line how they could obtain copies of all 4 Guitar
    Notes Volumes.  Hmmm, good question....anyone?
    
    Anyone wishing a copy of GN Vol 4 can obtain one from me, as I have the
    master tape.  I'm not sure who is keeper of the first 3 volumes?!?
    
    Send mail to CAVLRY::BUCK to discuss GN Vol 4 orders!!
    
    
    VOL 4 ORDERS -- UPDATE:
    
    I've already sent out tapes to Dave Blickstein, Dave Bottom, Mike
    Heiser, Justine Sullivan, Jerry White, Ted Ross, Greg House, and
    Joe Minville.  Addl tapes will be going out today for Bob Schuchard
    and James Chernery.  Tomorrow should see the rest of the tapes
    issued (Jon Nelson, Tom Benson, Bob Conroy, Tom Desrocher).
    
    For those who have already received them...i hope you enjoy this labor
    of love.  How bout some feedback??  The GN V4 Review topic is 2409.*
    
    
    Cherrios,
    Buck
