Oh.. my.. god! That was an insane solo. What the hell is he doing at 1:01 to 1:02, that thing he does with just his right hand, it's unbelievable.
Are those guys from the 80's fusion band Casiopea? Is this from a new DVD then? Thanks for the link nev.

That was awesome!
Love how he soloed over the vamp.

Check out his "You Guys are Killing Me" look around 2:24.

Who are those guys?

Thanks for the vid!

Thanks to nevesis & Drumdoc69

from third world ...ha..ha..

-------------------------------------------------

in a while vamp time, check meter and tempo from tetsuo sakurai 's head sway.

usualy, the song in 6/8

|1|2|3|4|5|6|

it's easier if use sakurai 's head sway.

|1|_|_|2|_|_|

" one loop " in the vamp has 6/8 8bars long.

so we'll have a click in our head for " one loop " like this.

|1|_|_|2|_|_|
|3|_|_|4|_|_|
|5|_|_|6|_|_|
|7|_|_|8|_|_|(half of loop)
|1|_|_|2|_|_|
|3|_|_|4|_|_|
|5|_|_|6|_|_|
|7|_|_|8|_|_|(end of loop)

--------------------

and Dennis play 8 loops of vamp.

Hi All!
please a technical question... I have seen the video sample from Nevesis (thanks!)... Can I know wich is the better way for to do a sample as this from a DVD... sometimes I need to do little samples of my DVD (bootlegs for trade!) to send to my friend to know the quality of video/sound...
Thanks!

thank you. great sound and quality.
but I'am not get used to time 1.19/1.20.
is it a mistake or do I have problems with the understanding ?
to me, he should end at 1.18/1.19
and so, the rest makes no sense to me.
just want to understand, because if it was a mistake, there will be nothing to understand and I can sleep silent.

I've heard of this fusion ensemble before, but never checked it out until now. Thanks a lot.

I used to love Greg Howe (the guitar dude with DC), whos more a shredder type guitarist, but with a knack for catchiness and all around tasty playing. (Guess his pop gigs helped him "mature" his sound)

Anyway, back to DC. The first minute or so of his solo is really good. Better than almost any solo i remember of him anyway. Then, its off in familiar solo territory for him (wicked singles of course), some playfulness with the others over that vamp at the end.

Good stuff

Oh and if thats you that ripped this extract from the dvd, I'd very much like if you could give me a quick rundown as to how you proceded to achieve this (DVD-->Good quality mpeg file).

I've tried to extract 4-5 minutes extracts from DVD's (Wicked JBaron's solo from Masada appearance at Warsaw Summer Days 99), but unfortunatly came up with out of sync avi and general mess.

I really want to get that Baron vid and a Tony one to you guys.

This is for the DVD to file question. In short:
What i do for "cut" a piece of a dvd is this:
use Flaskmpeg program (it?s free). You select the start and end points. You select if you want to make the file as .avi or mpeg.
Before this, you have to have some codecs pack to compress the file at the quality you want.

the program: http://www.flaskmpeg.net/
the codecs: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/tsunami_pack.html

Well, it works fine for me
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the clip.

Must agree about the first part of the solo being musical, but the last part with the off-the-beat thing - well, funny, when possible, but there isn't much musical statement there. Also he doesn't nail the last part of the guitar/bass vamp, which you should do, when going of like that.

But DC have done his homework regarding technique

There are no rules when soloing. DC can play whatever he wants. I saw Jack Dejohnette trade 4's and 8's with Peacock and Abercrombie. He was adding one or two quater notes at the end occasionally. Not following the technical way of playing exactly 4 or 8 bars, but nonetheless musical and great.

You don't have to hit all the hits---there are things called counterpoint etc...

Hear ya, broeski.
But I'm sure he could've if he wished to, off the cuff. [img]wink.gif[/img] He's simply "in the moment," going for it. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Good points, Flam T. There's no question in my mind, having heard much of his fiercest stuff, that Dennis knows his form[s], hence, his "shtuff." He can play whatever he wants. He is fully capable AWA often does nail most if not all of the comp "hits" anyway. [img]cool.gif[/img]

This one is definitely a keeper. Any video that cracks me up deserves to be saved my hard drive [img]tongue.gif[/img]

By the way, what kinda stuff have you been working on lately? Last time I saw a video you were doing some lrrlrrlrrlr ostinato stuff w/ your feet.

Just curious,
