Yes, the rhythm guitar is such a crutial part, we've been trying to
break a 4th guy into the band, but he's still having difficulty
playing some of those parts. Try not missing any of the upbeats
on "Everybody Up." I'll admit, my rhythm skills are rather poor
haha. I do like that rhythm part in Scratch that either Rob or John
are doing.
I'm almost positive Eddie played Scratch on his Jag, not only the
tone, but it sounds like heavy strings and he's really bending em,
which would lead me to believe it's the "24 scale.

I asked him, and I'm still waiting for a reply.

Our disc is done, we just need to make up a cover for it, press em'
and package em'. If you want, I can add you to a little list I have
of people I'm contacting when it's done. The first few we get out
will probably be nicely packaged CDRs.
