Excellent choice! I just got a 150 year old cello restored (my grandfather's) and I figured that it would be something I could "pick up". Ha .... that's one difficult puppy to play. So far I've mastered the opening riff to Smoke On The Water on the cello :eek:

I'm a classically trained violinist and teacher(as well as a guitar hack) and have also studied cello.

It IS very different from playing guitar, although the first 4 frets roughly correspond to the first 4 semi-tones on the cello.

If you have any questions about it give me a holler.

Absolutley....there's some heavy-duty stuff on that CD.

[Six String Stu…]

This morning's "listen while you dress" tune for me was

Pink Floyd - P.U.L.S.E. - High Hopes

What a great track, especially the orchestral ending.
I'm just a sucker for a good ending where an orchestra comes in.

Costco has all the Pink Floyd CD's @ $13.79 .... Echoes is the next on the list. Hey, I re-discovered my Led Zeppelin III over the weekend (had vinyl .... bought the CD .... holy flashbacks Batman! )

.... and my 6 year old actually asked me to play Comfortably Numb (from the Roger Waters DVD) ... he didn't know the name of the song so I had to flip through the DVD chapters until he heard which song it was he wanted .... it was a cool experience for me .... he likes the way Doyle Bramhall plays guitar (upsidedown)

Last week was mostly Sugar "Beaster" and "File Under Easy Listening" with the occasional Son Volt "Trace" (when I can pry it out of my wife's mitts) and Uncle Tupelo's "Anodyne". My 6 year old daughter keeps bugging me to bring King's X "Faith Hope Love". I swear to god she was in her room the other day singing "It's Love" and she's only heard the CD a coupla times!!! It must really speak to her.

[deeperquest]

I've hit about 10 cd stores looking for "Trace" .... with no luck so far

[Six String Stu…]

This morning was

Rush - Different Stages - YYZ

Last night before going to sleep I turned off all the lights and started listening to Cygnus X-1 by Rush through my headphones. Everything was dark, and the prologue actually spooked me pretty bad. :eek:

Imagine a 17 yr old cowering under a safety blanket with headphones on
