  1. I've found this show is much more fun to watch with a group of people. When it aired at Christmas time, my whole family (everyone that was here for x-mas that is, not just my immediate family) would drop what they were doing and we would all watch the show, yelling "Deal" or "No Deal" at the screen as if they could hear us. That probably what made it so fun, I still watch it by myself, but it doesn't have that extra fun factor when you don't have anyone to yell with you.

    OK I reading a bunch of posts from people who went to the Midnight showing. This is what most are saying.

    The film seemed rushed and thats due to how long the book was and how much they left out.
    They didnt like how no one explained the Priori spell, that is pretty big.
    Didnt do a good enough job setting up OOTP.
    There wasnt enough emphasis placed on the relationship that Harry has with Sirius.
    Clearly set up that it is Ron/Hermione and that Harry and Hermione are good friends.
    They loved the Neville bits.
    Not enough Snape.
    The acting of the kids has gotten WAY better.
    The special effects were awesome.
    The graveyard scene is truly scary and the parents have been saying not to take your young kids to see it.
    Voldemort was fantastic as was Dubledore.
    The Riddle house is supposed to be a Muggle House and it looked to much like a Wizard House.
    All around most have been saying it was good but it doesnt follow along with the book well enough.

    Most of all what I have read most about is the Graveyard scene and just how scary it is.

    I went to the midnight showing and although it was rushed and didn't follow the books exactly-mainly just leaving things out, there wasn't much changed besides two kinda big things-it was an amazing movie. It was kind of "dark", especially compared to the other movies, but it was also very funny at times. The acting was wayyy better, and you could actually feel the emotion in the ending because of what happens (I don't want to spoil for those who haven't read it, but if you have you know what I'm talking about). The special effects were pretty cool, especially all the underwater stuff. It was cg, but it was good cg, so no complaining. Awesome experience!

    Yeah, bending would make sense, lol.  I'll just have to mess around with it and see what happens.  We're playing at our school and stuff like that, so not many people there would know how Alex plays it in the first place, so if I don't get it that great, it'll be ok. 

    And yes, a bunch of these: common001.gif  common001.gif  common001.gif  common001.gif

    How many frets does your guitar have? It's tough to play those notes on a 22-fret guitar. What I do is set my harmonizer for an octave higher just for those notes. If you don't have a harmonizer, you could play it on the B string at the 17th fret and bend it up, and with your picking hand pinch the artificial harmonic up by the pickups to make it sound an octave higher. There's lots of different harmonics up there -- you'd have to find the right one. It's not the best method, but it lets you cheat those notes.

    Its only 22, glad you asked, otherwise I would'nt have even thought of that before I started playing around with it. I know someone with a harmonizer, so I can try to borrow it from them. If not, I'll try the pinching. Hmm, this song has proved to be more difficult than we thought it would be... doh.gif

  4. The band I'm in is playing Leave That Thing Alone, and I have the tablature from powertabs.net. They have Alex's solo going to the 26th fret! Anyone know what is up with this? On the Rio DVD it doesn't look like he has that many frets on that guitar, but I just can't figure out how to play it. Anyone know? Thanks a bunch!! wink.gif
