From MJS Music Pbl: Insight to Courage and Tragedy
2 of 2 found this helpful In July 2007, rock author and photographer Chris A. called to inform me of a new project he was working on. He began by asking, "Mark, you were a fan of Dimebag's, weren't you?" My reply was very firm, "Always will be." Chris asked, do you remember the names of the other guys who were killed on stage that night?"
The truth was I did not remember the names of the other victims. Only Dimebag and the killer, Nathan Gale. Chris informed me that he had full support of the families of the victims, and he was working on their very unique story, from birth up to the night of the murders, their funerals, and a section at the end that the family members wrote themselves. His enthusiasm for telling their story was contagious. Minutes into the call I knew that MJS Music Publications had to be a part of this project. Sight unseen, I told Chris that the story of these men had to be told, and I would mortgage my home if that is what it took to tell it.
As Chris completed the first drafts of each chapter he sent them to our office. Our job as the editor and publisher is to read the drafts from a very neutral perspective, find errors, and not get emotionally attached. That was entirely impossible for A Vulgar Display Of Power: Courage and Carnage at the Alrosa Villa (AVDOP). The story of these three men are incredibly unique, yet all three shared the most intense passion for life and those they called friends and family. As the executive editor, I've read and reread this story a grand total of 7 times to date (04/18/2007) and I never tire of it. Erin Halk, Nathan Bray, and Jeffery "Mayhem" Thompson lived extraordinary lives and it's been my pleasure to get to know and love them through the pages of AVDOP! I am confident that all who read their story will experience the same bond. Knowing these great men will change they way you embrace and live your life, as well as the way you interact with the people you know and love. It is no wonder why they chose to rise to the top, out of several hundred people, to try and help put an end to the destruction caused by the killer, as did surviving band manager Chris Paluska and drum tech John "Kat" Brooks.
There is also the chilling story of Nathan Miles Gale. A person who had every opportunity to live a stable life, with a mother and siblings who loved him, and a community that tried to accept him time and time again. Yet, constantly he made the wrong choices. There is no justification for Gale's actions, and I hate him more for it now than I did on the morning of December 9, 2004 when I first heard of the tragedy. One positive thing that can come from telling Gale's story is that readers will become more familiar with the sickness which drove him, and people who may be afflicted by severe Paranoid Schizophrenia might get help before they are driven to the point of Gale's madness. AVDOP makes no excuse for what Nathan Gale did. Even with his mentally disabling disease we see that he knew right from wrong, yet he chose disorder and chaos at nearly every turn in his life.
We learn of the family owned venue, The Alrosa Villa, and it's history from the 70's to the night of December 8, 2004. A concert hall which has promoted both local bands and celebrity acts including Johnny Winter, Steppenwolf, David Lee Roth, Jackyl, Pantera, Vince Neil of Motley Crue, Ace Frehley of Kiss, Skid Row and more.
Of course Dimebag Darrell Abbott is a part of the story in AVDOP, but not in a biography format. We are br

Scales and Every Possible Way To Use Them!
0 of 1 found this helpful The first 16 pages teaches the C major scale on the entire fretboard. This section is very beginner friendly, and progresses quickly to intermediate and advanced. Pages 21 to 72 teach every trick and technique you can imagine and applies them to the different scale positions. Techniques including two hand tapping, harmonics, string skipping, vibrato and bends, harmony, chords, hammer ons and pull offs, ...you name it! The second half of the book (73 to 160) covers modes, key changes for every key, and cultural/exotic scales from all around the world. All applied to the entire fretboard, written in both bass clef and TAB. There are also applications for using the book for 5 and 6 string bass. The CD narrates and performs each lesson.
