	Chabha Michael White	How have you been? How's the guitar playing coming along? Any plans for songs to show up soon? Have a great one. Peace Love.   Posted by Chabha on November 12, 2007 - Monday - 8:44 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Well as of right now, 11-12-07, I am doing good for myself. I will have some songs up as soon as I get them down and recorded with my band.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 13, 2007 - Tuesday - 3:37 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	The comment above was during a time I had started a band and was planning to record with them. But I am on my own as of now 4-28-09. I have decided what I want and what I need to do. Simply, I want to play my music. It's a simple goal but it's been anything but, trying to find others who want to join aboard. I have given up on trying to find musicians to start or join a band with. It's the same thing everytime, I let them know from the very beginning that my goal with music and with them is to play my written stuff. They agree and promise me they'll do it but once it comes down to practicing and booking and playing, I'm only doing their music and spending hours and hours perfecting their songs. This is not neccesarily a bad thing but it is not what I wanted. I just feel like none of them have really taken my goal seriously and just wanted me to be another addition to their band and songs. I know many musicians would love to be part of a band working on and playing other people's music, but for me it's just so personal a passion to play the music I have written for the world. So right now I'm solo. But of course I will always be down to jam with anyone or any band, I love that so much. But when it comes down to commiting myself to a band I want it to be my own.     Posted by ASH SOULAR on April 28, 2009 - Tuesday - 6:13 PM [Reply to this]

	BanzaiHiggs	Are you currently playing with a band or are you enrolled on college? If you are in a band is it a cover band or our you writing your own music? Keep rockin & bless you.   Posted by BanzaiHiggs on November 12, 2007 - Monday - 3:25 PM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	I have decided to update this question because I am not officially in a band anymore. I am just going solo for now. I took time off from college without an actual set time to go back. I want to pursue music right now with all my time and effort.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on February 7, 2008 - Thursday - 10:38 AM [Reply to this]

	Chris	Hi Ash, I'd like to collaborate with you on writing songs and send the Demos out to people I know in the Music industry. I have a good friend who is the lead singer for a rock band that has sold over 100 million albums. I'm not kidding. We can do this on the net, and later in person. I saw your stuff on youtube, and I truly think you have great talent that can grow. We can try and write songs for my friends bands style in mind for them to consider recording, and/or write stuff that they might forward to people they think would like it in the industry. What I really want to do later, is warm up for them on tour, as they play full on Arena Rock, and even jam with them...but first, I'd like to send them some demo work of course. I started music training when I was 3 years old, and was a music major at the University. I studied classical Opera singing. However, I sing and play rock and pop stuff. I know some good producers, and can also submit demos to one of the producers of Led Zep, who I met at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. He asked me to send him some stuff, and if you and I come up with some good material I'd be more than happy to do so. Rock on Ash! let me know. Chris   Posted by Chris on March 18, 2008 - Tuesday - 3:12 PM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Hi Chris! hey thanks so much for wanting to work with me! if you are still interested in getting ahold of some of my material just get in touch with me and i could sned you some. Thanks again. -ASH     Posted by ASH SOULAR on April 28, 2009 - Tuesday - 6:17 PM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	hey you! Well actually all of my other mailbox's and e-mails aren't easier for me answer. It's a matter of having the time. But don't worry I'll keep you informed on me on here. Oh, I don't know who Kris Sobanski is, but I wanted to do this to make it easier and less time consuming for me to actually answer peoples questions. And yes I do remember saying I'll marry you! ;P   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 13, 2007 - Tuesday - 3:46 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	I am currently still living in New Mexico. I go back in forth for months at a time to Cali, but I am free and a roamer, so I go whereverI feel I need to be.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 16, 2007 - Friday - 11:19 PM [Reply to this]

	Jerry Vayne	What lind of equipment do you currently use? Is you cd going to instrumental, with vocals and what kind of style can we expect from you? YOu have one sold from me already! *hugs* from vegas   Posted by Jerry Vayne on November 14, 2007 - Wednesday - 7:28 PM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Thanks Jerry! My equitment as far as guitars and amps go are, I play a Copely McKorkle Signature gold top Les Paul lp, and a Gibson Les Paul Standard. I play thyrough a Marshall MG100DFX. The effects I use occasionally are a Dunlop wah Craybaby, I also use a talk box. That's about it my set up is simple and effective. My original music is going to have vocals. I don't know how to classify it mostly because I fuse so many styles into it, in the process of finding my own sound. But I would say it's more Alternative.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 16, 2007 - Friday - 11:26 PM [Reply to this]

	Alex Hunter	hehe so just how many guys have proposed to you over myspace, and how many have you said yes to??   Posted by Alex Hunter on November 15, 2007 - Thursday - 10:18 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Hmmm, I read this comment and then waited until I got dressed so I could find out too cause I didn't even know. Well apparently I put my pants on left leg first BUT! I put my shoes on right first!   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 16, 2007 - Friday - 11:33 PM [Reply to this]

	Charles Perez Charles Perez	how old are you and when did you start playing and do you have a bf   Posted by Charles Perez on November 16, 2007 - Friday - 12:44 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	I'm 19 years old, my birthday is August 10, 1988. I started playing when I was 15 about to be 16 so about three years ago. Oh, and no I do not have a boyfriend.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 16, 2007 - Friday - 11:35 PM [Reply to this]

	Sergıo&V♥™ せるひお さんちょ	Hey, ok umm first of all i want to say that ur awesome with the guitar and umm was your first guitar a Les Paul too?   Posted by Sergıo&V♥™ on November 17, 2007 - Saturday - 3:21 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Thank you. My first guitar was not a Les Paul. It was a Jay Turser strat copy that came with a case that had a built in amp. All for 100 dollars! I learnt everything on that guitar but as soon as I saw Slash ripping on a Les Paul I knew that's the guitar I wanted. Not even knowing what it sounded like or felt like, I'm just glad I decided to make that decision about a guitar that sounds great haha.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 20, 2007 - Tuesday - 9:23 AM [Reply to this]

	Charles Perez Charles Perez	have you meet anyone from velvet revolver or guns n roses and who have you meet from the music world   Posted by Charles Perez on November 17, 2007 - Saturday - 10:55 PM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	From Velvet Revolver, I have met Slash, and Matt. I have been in the same room as the rest of the members but I have only talked to those two. So yes! I have met my idol Slash but that's a whole other story ;P   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 20, 2007 - Tuesday - 9:26 AM [Reply to this]

	aLphabetteR	On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the whole 1-10 rating scale? Do you prefer other rating scales, e.g. 1-5 scale, 4 star scale a la Star-Search, 100% scale?   Posted by aLphabetteR on November 19, 2007 - Monday - 4:35 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Ok on a 1-10 scale I would rate the 1-10 scale a 5. Because there are two many numbers in between 1 and 10 so it leaves room for vagueness. I'm all about the 1-5 sclae, thats what I'm talking about!   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 20, 2007 - Tuesday - 9:30 AM [Reply to this]

	~*[Arth@s]*~ Jorge Armando Salinas	I love you!!! for sure... i mean... damn... cute... sexy... and you totally rock and kick asses playing your guitar...kisses from Venezuela.   Posted by ~*[Arth@s]*~ on November 19, 2007 - Monday - 6:21 AM [Reply to this]

	James	Ok, your single, cute, and ROCK!!! So, what do you look for in the opposite sex?   Posted by James on November 20, 2007 - Tuesday - 8:58 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	I don't look for anything. I've knoticed for me that when me and somebody click we just click and that's where the attraction starts. Of course I can say I like the tall dark and handsom stud, but really looks only go so far and the past guys I have ever really liked, I didn't even care about their looks. I like guys who challenge me, Someone who dosen't just humor me but will tell me when they think I'm wrong, who will argue with me but still be pleasant about it. I like confident people who take the initiative because I am really shy. So really I don't have a type it just kinda happens and I can't explain or tell you why I like who I like sometimes.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 20, 2007 - Tuesday - 10:05 AM [Reply to this]

	Daniel	well the guy who goes out with you is lucky i aint no big tall hansome stud but i am a good guy i could challenge you and humour you i really dont now why i am tellin you this i dont have a chance with you anyways cause you are like celebraty   Posted by Daniel on November 21, 2007 - Wednesday - 12:08 AM [Reply to this]

	Daniel	i wrote this in 40 seconds tell me what you think the songs stinks probaly want to hold your hands trough the darkness i want to hold you trough the bad times and the good i want to love you forever i want to catch you if you fall i want to answer if you call want to love you want to be your cover if your cold want to be your shelter if you need a place to stay but it does not matter what i say cause you are so vain does not matter if i said i loved you i still be another face in the crowd does not matter if i died for you i just be another lost soul does not matter matter if i gave you everything i just be another fling it would matter if i had connections instead of affection it would matter if i was famous it would matter if i was richest man person in the nieghborhood it would matter if i was an actor who does not love you like he should   Posted by Daniel on November 20, 2007 - Tuesday - 11:57 PM [Reply to this]

	Charles Perez Charles Perez	when will your band have a myspace out   Posted by Charles Perez on November 23, 2007 - Friday - 4:16 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	I don't have a band right now actually I am just a solo musician. When I make a music myspace it will be for me as a solo artist.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on February 7, 2008 - Thursday - 10:08 AM [Reply to this]

	JAG Swagger Alex Garcia	Just for kicks, which musicians would you choose if you had to assemble and all-star 'Megaband', so to speak? Surely it's a safe bet that Slash would be your pick for lead guitar, who else would be composing your band? (Lead vocals, rythm guitar, bass guitar, drums...and even keyboards if you admire someone on the keys)   Posted by JAG Swagger on November 26, 2007 - Monday - 3:08 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Good one! Hmmm, that's hard, Ok for a singer I would want Steven Tyler. He can sing anything and make it sound rockin. For a secong guitarist I would want Malcome Young from AC/DC. No one lays down the rhythm like that guy. For a drummer, I would want the one the only John Bohnam, may he RIP. For keys, I want the guy from Santana's old stuff. Not sure his name, but I think he went on to play in Jouney. For bass give me Flea. Nuff said there. And lastly for Lead Guitarist, Well, ME OF COURSE! I'm not passing up a chance to play with this megaband! haha   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 30, 2007 - Friday - 3:27 PM [Reply to this]

	Prog Rock Girl	When I meet someone who is a guitarist, I usually ask them to show me their hands, and I hold up my tiny hands to their big monstro-hands...since you are long distance I'll just have to ask you, how big are your hands? PS I did learn that Lori Lundstruth also has tiny hands, and she sure does rock, so I feel encouraged:)   Posted by Prog Rock Girl on November 27, 2007 - Tuesday - 11:02 PM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	I have really skinny long fingers. But it doesn't matter how big your hands are when trying to play guitar, you just have to come up with a different way to get around the neck. But it's totally possible to be a great guitarist wih small hands!   Posted by ASH SOULAR on November 30, 2007 - Friday - 3:30 PM [Reply to this]

	Chuckie2009	Have u had the chance to play the new "57 gold top reissue"? Best Les Paul ever!   Posted by Chuckie2009 on November 30, 2007 - Friday - 5:37 PM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	No I haven't! I just looked up this guitar, it's gorgeous. I have played the 1960's gold top reissue, which I LOVE! Everytime I go into a Guitar Center I have to have spend some quality time with that guitar :)   Posted by ASH SOULAR on February 7, 2008 - Thursday - 10:10 AM [Reply to this]

	Owen	Hey! Have you considered using valve amps rather than solid state amps?   Posted by Owen on December 8, 2007 - Saturday - 5:04 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Yes I have! I think that real tube amps do actually give your tone more of a push. But, the solid state amps they make now a days come pretty damn close to emulating that of a tube distortion, while also allowing you to experiment around other distorion tones and effects. So I am pretty happy with my solid state amp for what I need it to do.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on February 7, 2008 - Thursday - 10:14 AM [Reply to this]

	Charles Perez Charles Perez	have you ever played with any one famous or if not who have you played with that was amazin   Posted by Charles Perez on December 24, 2007 - Monday - 7:35 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	I have played with a lot of GREAT musicians. They're all friends or other struggling musicians. I think playing with my dad is like playing with an old legend, He teaches me so much about music and style. In my mind, All those people should be famous!   Posted by ASH SOULAR on February 7, 2008 - Thursday - 10:19 AM [Reply to this]

	-=Dav=-	Hey Ash, First let me say pretty much what everyone else has already said, that you are a pretty talented guitarist and Rock Hard. Second, let me ask what many have asked already, what is the name of the Santana song you play in your video. And finally, what is your favorite instrumental to play? You looked like you got pretty deep into the Santana you were playing. I am currently working on Vinnie Moore's Coming Home. I would love to hear what your rendition of that song would sound like. If you haven't heard it before you should really check it out. Take care, catch you later.   Posted by -=Dav=- on December 24, 2007 - Monday - 7:46 AM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	The song I played in that particular video is Samba Pa Ti by Santana, with an intro from Victory is Won by Santana. I don't know many instrumentals, but my favorite solo to play is still Sweet Child Of Mine and it probably always will be :P   Posted by ASH SOULAR on February 7, 2008 - Thursday - 10:22 AM [Reply to this]

	West Paul West	do you think that the cast of saved by the bell will ever get back together?   Posted by West on December 25, 2007 - Tuesday - 3:32 PM [Reply to this]

	ASH SOULAR	Straight up Nope.   Posted by ASH SOULAR on February 7, 2008 - Thursday - 10:23 AM [Reply to this]
