Unregistered	To whoever started the hairband thing, Michaelangelo Batio has a patent on a device called a string muter (I think). It looks like a capo, but i gues it has some sort of squishy foam on it. You can see it on the video for No Boundaries, teh Speed Kills version. And to whoever used the pick on the drill, Paul Gilbert has been doing that for years. Sorry guys, its been done. And won't the drill picking cause teh strings to snap much more quickly?

I did it a couple of times in the studio years ago too. It's useful if you're doing tapping, Satch styley. The Mr Big live vid with Paul Gilbert doing the drill thing in one of the tracks (forget which now. Something to do with his dad, lover and stuff). He even had an endorsement with Makita. A drill endorsement for a guitarist!

I also use weird scalar sequences, such as combining the harmonic minor scale with the blues scale,.ect. but i prolly didnt invent that either

Unregistered	My signature techniqued would have to be including the chromatic scale with the use of circle of 5ths in any solo i write. Souly based on classical and Django style jazz.

Using your finger in my opinion gives a much is much more versitile as it can give mellow sounds or really hard rocky sounds.

Turnes out someone somewhere already uses them. I started tapping with my pick because I couldn't do it with my fingers and i thought that was my own invention. But it's not I also use a hair tye thing arounf my head stock and pull it down to mute the strings when I'm tapping or played a solo. Works well, I don't know if somebody elese does it though Pick tapping = Joe Satriani The hair tie thing = Synyster Gates cos he sucks and can't mute his own strings live when he does his "insane" improvised solos. Look on a few youtube videos and you'll see it. It's useful if you're two-hand tapping cyclic patterns (e.g. Satch's 'Midnight') with a high distortion, but for the stuff he plays it's pathetic
