Last Alarum gig was mad!! All great bands on the bill. Here’s some pics.
====================================================================================================
May 6. Our friend Tash hired out the Eltham Roller Rink to celebrate her bday for 2 and a half hours. This is what I wore. That’s Maria Ashton on the left, and me woif with the glasses. her name be Alex.
========================================================================================================
My fab four looks something like this
EVH got the ball rolling for me, then I went and fell in love with Lynch’s vibrato and severely copied him. Gilbert and Intense Rock 1 video sorted out my right hand, and Becker’s sweeps and sheer technique is just mind boggling. The guy practiced roughly 10 hours a day. I don’t have enough ideas for one hour!! People see dudes on YouTube and shit tearing it up, they think that comes with a couple months practice. My ass. If you want Becker results, you need to put in the Becker time. That alone is what separates them men from the boys.
======================================================================================================
Cranbourne Music are in the process of making a catalogue with staff pics in it. Friday before the Alarum gig I went to the city store and John Lewis took these pics of Hanz and I. They turned out really well.
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
I took this today on the way to work. Australian time is 17 hours ahead of USA time. Remember that when you call me at some fucked up hour. My dad is the king of that shit. Not anymore though. Phone’s now on silent/no vibrate. Tuesday, May 1st, around 6:40 am.

Doug Steele podcast interview

This blogger is soooo fucking angry. I’ll admit it, I’m a huuuuge hater, ask my wife. But this guy has taken shit to a pretty new level. Everyone thinks it’s Marieke herself, or a jilted lover or co-worker she may have fucked over. I personally think it’s the bearded guy’s ex-wife or one of her angry FEMALE friends, posting as a guy. I love the mystery, as this here story caused quite a stink out here in Oz. I identify with the passion, be it pro or con. I’m just glad I found someone angrier than myself, that’s refreshing!!
CORRECTION: My wife said I’m wayyyy more angry than this guy. And she said I was too lazy to start a hate blog, ha ha.

Looking good Dude !!!! Jason Hart
Cheers dude!! Glad you dropped by.
Doug
Hey..we used to talk years ago when you were on triplem. Glad to see you still fuckin shit up.
Kazz
Hola!! How am you?
A little older..but not so much wiser. Lol
you are looking good and shredding like a rock god
stay gold sexypants
Ha ha, cool. You as well.
Dude! You used my youtube quote (I post there as SkyNett). Awesome! I meant every word of it – since two of those teachers I mentioned are John Petrucci and Al Pitrelli – so yea, I know good teachers, and you are tops!!
Ha ha, cool!! I have a friend on my FB who had a few lessons with JP and was not impressed. I’ve seen a vid with AP and was fairly perplexed by his video on modes.
I studied with JP years ago – probably from 89 – 91 or so. I’m from Long Island, NY and he used to give lessons out of his parent’s house in Kings Park. I’m not particularly into prog rock but the guy has skills and he definitely taught me a lot. I studied with Pitrelli back in 86 or so for a few years when he was teaching out of THE local guitar shop at the time, a place called Focus II – it was the coolest guitar store in the area for many years. It’s still around – called Music Emporium these days. Anyway you rock dude – keep the great playing coming!! : )
Cheers, I’ll try and do Dorian today.
Always support all things Doug!!!
Shredder supreme and one funny guy!
I will be joining your guitar intstruction site

Hello Doug, it’s TheBigRedViking in Northern CA. Plz recommend anyone that makes a very good 5150 guitar copy. Meanwhile I’m working on one myself, and old red Kramer that I’m adding white stripes to. Did you ever obtain any of your VH guitars from this guy? http://www.meanstreetguitars.com/ I’m very impressed with his craftsmanship and have emailed some price quotes to him as he works closely with each person requesting a custom order. I’d appreciate any other soure(s) you recommend for a good 5150 guitar replica, except I don’t care about the 5150 sticker. brew cheers from CA
email me, we’ll go from there.
