I know I definitely see a difference in the comfort level of the interviewees when they are in the studio. There is a completely different atmosphere when you are in somebody's office. They aren't intimidated by the lights and cameras when they can be in their own environment. If they want to scribble on the whiteboard, then they can.

 

I know it saves you guys a lot of work, but I really don't care about screen captures or fancy stuff. Intimate casual conversations are what made C9 great, and I don't think that you can accurately replicate that inside the harsh artificial environment of the studio.

Michael loves to get out of the studio too, so we'll definitely be hitting more offices this year.

Favorite that I own is my '90 Charvel Predator. It's tough to beat those '90s import Jacksons as far as bang for the buck.

I LOVED Charvels back in the day. I used to have a red Model IV-A with a floating cam Kahler.

I can't get down to one favorite guitar, but I'll tell you about my two favorite. The first would be my Green Jem.

Originally my personal website (www.greenjem.com) was used to track the first 777 green Ibanez Jem guitars. They are all signed and numbered by Steve Vai. Mine is #103 and also has "To Larry" written on the back from Steve Vai. You'll see it has one of the very rare wrist rests on it that never actually shipped with the Jem because Kramer had a patent that it violated and wouldn't license to Ibanez.

The second is a guitar I built myself.

This one uses a Ibanez Saber neck and has a body that I built myself and electronics from a Saber. The body has two monkey grips instead of one, huge access cut away, the body is cut as thin as a Parker Fly, the front is signed (and scribbled on) by Joe Satriani, the back is signed by Steve Vai and Joe Dispangi (the guy who invented the Jem line of guitars). Evolution pickup in the bridge. The paint job was done by Darren Michaels, a buddy of mine who did all the original swirl paint jobs on the Jem and Universe guitars. This color scheme was eventually used in one of the G3 tours so the guitar matches very well with a couple of the posters from that tour that are also signed by everyone in G3. This one also has a Lo Pro Edge II tremelo and a rare wrist rest.

All of these and more hang in my office at home.

I really liked the concept for a Mame cabinet. I've got a old Gateway M1200 tablet PC I'm not using anymore, I might have to try that.

Hey Jaime,

I think it could go on the wall if you want. Think of a picture frame, the computer in the analogy would be the glass. You need to build the part that holds the glass and then mount that onto the wall. Then slide the computer in. Just need to have the right cut outs for the buttons and CD drive on the side.

I think these types of machines are built for that type of stuff, show off to the guests so to speak.

It's a show piece basically. I'm getting something like this.

Edit: Larry Larsen is the greatest man in the world *crosses fingers*

While I agree entirely with you, La Bomba, it's Jeff Sandquist who is the great man.

Very cool gadget... If you happen to download and install ArtRage, please post some paintings... I'd like to know how well it works.

PS

Don't let this computer go to your head and join scientology or nothing

 

I've been using ArtRage on a TabletPC since it came out. You can see some of the stuff I've painted at http://www.greenjem.com/art.htm.

Why is the note from the CIA?

That was the notepad I had on my desk at the time.

Looks like the box got banged up a little in transit, glad to see all is well with it. Try out Artrage.
