Yngwie Lick #8

Mr. Hot: Could you show me what fingering you use on Yngwie lick #8? Seems to me that their are a few fingering strategies one might use, I would like to know what you do. And if you don't play the 12th note by rolling the index finger on the 9th fret, following up using the pinkie on the 13th note, and using a similar strategy playing the 24th note with the middle finger and 25th note with the pinkie, do you recommend against such a fingering as I describe?


edit: oh, also would you mind showing your fingering for lick #2 also? I assumed you figured that with index finger always handling 12th fret, middle finger 13th fret, ring 14th fret, and pinkie 15th fret. But would like to be sure.

Just an item most of us would find use for. Here is Gilbert using it.



Now I don't envision myself using it like that. I don't have unrealistic expectations, this is like the kind of technology that hooks up to your Dremel Tool to drill into spots otherwise inaccessible, or clean your sewer pipe. I will use it to change modes on stomp boxes. For example my Boss PS-5 has 5 operational modes. Or maybe to change scales on my harmonizer, things like that, where there is no expression pedal capability. Actually 2 or 3 of these would be nice. However as I already have 2 expression pedals, 7 Boss pedals, a Zoom G2, Amp channel and reverb switch, and a Wah hooked up, at a certain point clutter becomes an issue. I will live with one, clearly that is enough for Paul Gilbert, I should be satisfied with one and just live with the limitations.

Gibson Service

I have always had the best service calling Nashville, dealt with them 3 or 4 times. They answer the phone promptly, are always friendly. Recently I broke my jack plate on my 58 Reissue (my fault for not using an angle plug). It was out of the 1 year warranty for parts (they only warranty the body and neck for life). You can't get one of these jack plates in a store or on ebay as they are 58 spec. Gibson Fed Ex'ed me a replacement at no charge. Good company.

Why Are You All Still Alive?

My brother sent me this article on how bad things are in terms of medical care in Canada and Europe. As you may have heard, there is a debate on whether supporting a system here where we pay 1.5 to 2 times what you pay for it, and have shorter life expectancies on average, is a good thing. This article explains why American doctors making a half million dollars a year, and drugs costing us 2 to 3 times as much, and etc., are very good things for the public.


The article............................................................

Imagine that your two best friends are British and Canadian tobacco addicts. The Brit battles lung cancer. The Canadian endures emphysema and wheezes as he walks around with clanging oxygen canisters. You probably would not think: “Maybe I should pick up smoking.”

While that response would be highly irrational, the fact that America even is considering government medicine is equally wacky. The state guides healthcare for our two closest allies: Great Britain and Canada. Like us, these are prosperous, industrial, Anglophone democracies. Nevertheless, compared to America, they suffer higher death rates for diseases, their patients experience severe pain, and they ration medical services.

Look what you’re missing in the U.K.:





*Breast cancer kills 25 percent of its American victims. In Great Britain, the Vatican of single-payer medicine, breast cancer extinguishes 46 percent of its targets.

*Prostate cancer is fatal to 19 percent of its American patients. The National Center for Policy Analysis reports that it kills 57 percent of Britons it strikes.

*Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development data show that the UK’s 2005 heart-attack fatality rate was 19.5 percent higher than America’s. This may correspond to angioplasties, which were only 21.3 percent as common there as here.

*The UK’s National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) just announced plans to cut its 60,000 annual steroid injections for severe back-pain sufferers to just 3,000. “The consequences of the NICE decision will be devastating for thousands of patients,” Dr. Jonathan Richardson of Bradford Hospitals Trust told London’s Daily Telegraph. “It will mean more people having spinal surgery, which is incredibly risky, and has a 50 per cent failure rate.”

Things don’t look much better up north, under Canadian socialized medicine.

*Canada has one third fewer doctors than the OECD average. “The doctor shortage is a direct result of government rationing, since provinces intervened to restrict class sizes in major Canadian medical schools in the 1990s,” Dr. David Gratzer, a Canadian physician and Manhattan Institute scholar, told the U.S. House Ways & Means Committee on June 24. Some towns address the doctor dearth with lotteries in which citizens compete for rare medical appointments.

• *“In 2008, the average Canadian waited 17.3 weeks from the time his general practitioner referred him to a specialist until he actually received treatment,” Pacific Research Institute president Sally Pipes, a Canadian native, wrote in the July 2 Investor’s Business Daily. “That’s 86 percent longer than the wait in 1993, when the [Fraser] Institute first started quantifying the problem.”

•*Such sloth includes a median 9.7-week wait for an MRI exam, 31.7 weeks to see a neurosurgeon, and 36.7 weeks to visit an orthopedic surgeon.

*Thus, Canadian Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps wrote in her 2005 majority opinion in Chaoulli v. Quebec, “…this case shows that delays in the public health care system are widespread, and that, in some cases, patients die as a result of waiting lists for public health care.”

A public option is just the opening bid for eventual nationalization of American medicine. As House Banking Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D – Massachusetts) told SinglepayerAction.Org on July 27: “The best way we’re going to get single payer, the only way, is to have a public option to demonstrate its strength and its power.”

Barack Obama seconds that emotion.

“I don’t think we’re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately,” Obama told a March 24, 2007 Service Employees International Union healthcare forum. “There’s going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision [single payer] a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out.” As he told the AFL-CIO in 2003: “I happen to be a proponent of single payer, universal health care coverage…That’s what I’d like to see.”

Government medicine has proved an excruciating disaster in the U.K. and Canada. Our allies’ experiences with this dreadful idea should horrify rather than inspire everyday Americans, not to mention seemingly blind Democratic politicians.

Help With Vanished Teacher Lesson
