Children Of Bodom

[repcak]

For bands to be great they have to have both great music and great lyrics, they fall short of the staggering standards some fanboys set for them.
i agree with you 100%.

CoB has only a great music... but thats only 50% of music.
best example: NIN -> music and lyrics 100% :smash:

[guitrguy]

I hate Iron Maiden.
So.... The are consider one of the greatest metal bands of all time, wether you like them or night doesn't change that.

[I'm Charming]

i agree with you 100%.

CoB has only a great music... but thats only 50% of music.
best example: NIN -> music and lyrics 100% :smash:


Now I'm gonna e-kick your arse on this one.

NIN great music? Please.... Lyrics yes. Music don't.

[Sleepy]

i agree with you 100%.

I find NIN's lyrics unimpressing to say the least. The music is quite fun, though. :)

[circlethedrain]

Well, every vote counts, eh?


anyhoo, im gonna go play Oblivion, cya

[I'm Charming]

Well, every vote counts, eh?


lol. I guess.

[Invicta_Veritas]

NIN: Uninspiring music, pointless lyrics.
CoB: Beautiful music, pointless lyrics.

[I'm Charming]

NIN: Uninspiring music, pointless lyrics.
CoB: Beautiful music, pointless lyrics.


Yeah. NIN is like the Nirvana of metal. lol

[guitrguy]

NIN: Uninspiring music, pointless lyrics.
CoB: Beautiful music, pointless lyrics.
I geuss your version is different then mine.

[Invicta_Veritas]

When I say beautiful, I mean really good, not "pretty".

[Shattered_Future]

NIN has some good stuff once in a while, most notably The Fragile.

[repcak]

am i glad that everone has different tastes... or everything has to like NIN. its one of my top 3 favourite bands out there...

i rate NIN and Tool and (maybe even) anathema higher than CoB.

[repcak]

Yeah. NIN is like the Nirvana of metal. lol
can someone ban this guy... his insulting a nin-fanboy

[Shattered_Future]

I rate tons higher than COB...

repcak, knock him out. :P

[The Buttloaves]

When I say beautiful, I mean really good, not "pretty".
Behemoth FTW \m/

Oh man, that's funny..........

Good thing you cleared that up.

what do you mean with trolling?

[I'm Charming]

YES, SIR ... with pleasure :D

Following me around MX.


DIM: Nice one. That's a good question.

[repcak]

:naughty: you forgot it? i'm a ghost... muahaha :lol:

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

FtR is pretty awesome so far

NP: hate me

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

CD is done. love it. i had my inner peace dylan. thanks for reccomending it guys!

[Shattered_Future]

FTR is still their best in my eyes...

[circlethedrain]

For me it goes:

Follow the Reaper
SOmething Wild
Hatebreeder
HateCrew Deathroll
Are you dead yet?

[I'm Charming]

CD is done. love it. i had my inner peace dylan. thanks for reccomending it guys!


Good good. Welcome. Get Hatebreeder & Something Wild next.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

i was gona get hatebreeder first but they didnt have it. thatll definately be my next CoB album

[I'm Charming]

It's a good one.

[Sleepy]

Hatebreeder is amazing; same with Something Wild.

[I'm Charming]

Tokyo Warhearts is amazing as well. The live version of Touch Like Angel Of Death is amazing.

[circlethedrain]

Tokyo Wathearts is amazing, not like 50 bucks amazing but hey, thats why we pirate music lol.

[The Buttloaves]

Deadnight Warrior on Tokyo Warhearts is awesome. I love the little shred riff at the beginning and then the pre verse part, with the double bass drums. For being live, their timing was dead on and it just sounds so tight and together.

[Sleepy]

Tokyo Warhearts is amazing as well. The live version of Touch Like Angel Of Death is amazing.

Well everything is just right bloody amazing, isn't it?

Well, not AYDY...that one kinda sucked. Hate Crew was okay.

[I'm Charming]

Tokyo Wathearts is amazing, not like 50 bucks amazing but hey, thats why we pirate music lol.

You mean to say the biggest Bodom fanboy on MX didn't already have Tokyo Warhearts?

[I'm Charming]

Greetings! That was quite a post party last night.

[AA-12]

Yes it was, good times.

[I'm Charming]

Yes it was, good times.


Indeed. I can't imagine your 20 000 post party coming soon.

Anyways. What song do you wish CoB had played live when you saw them?

I wish they'd played.

Bed Of Razors
Towards Dead End
Mask Of Sanity

[GenuineImitation]

I wish I had the chance to see Bodom live :upset:


Whats your AIM again?

[AA-12]

I've never seen them :-(

[GenuineImitation]

I would have bought tickets, but I couldnt miss DT on their 20th Anniversary DVD show at Radio City Music Hall.

[I'm Charming]

Very logical. As much as I love Bodom, the chance to see DT play and possibly be somewhere on the DVD was too much to give up. I only I wish I had the money to buy more tickets.

[MRDuCran]

Wow, 8 pages since I've been here last, and the only thing worth quoting, in my eyes, is.

oh, well to each his own, but i love it.

After talking about Alexi's guitar tone. I just wanted to say, yes, it pwns everyone on MX, well, and everyone not on MX too. I freaking love it, like on War of Razors wtf *jizzes* bye.

[Dash]

Anyone know where I can get some keyboard tabs for COB, or are they non existant?

[MRDuCran]

Guitar Pro. Other than that, there's probably nothing more.

[Dash]

Guitar Pro. Other than that, there's probably nothing more.
Ok. Thankyou.

There are a couple on metaltabs. I have no idea if they are decent.

I agree.




That was quite fun.
I think it will be a good hangout source for the CoB regs. No n00bs allowed. :thumb:



NP: Stabwound

[Mother]

Is it just me or has COB gotten ****ty over the last two albums.

They used to be one of my favorite bands with albums like hatebreeder ,something wild and follow the reaper .. but latley I feel they kinda lost their sound.

What do you guys think.

No. HCDR is far better than AYDY. So you can't put them in the same boat. Granted AYDY isn't at the level of previous work, it's great none the less.

Living Dead Beat, AYDY, In Your Face, Bastards Of Bodom, TL&S and We're Not Gonna Fall are excellent.

[Mother]

yeah point taken ..but the tracks 'In the shadows' and kissing the shadows >> the whole new album.


IMO.

Not ****ty, but a bit worse (in my eyes anyway). Still quality music but just not my type at the moment.

Yep, that sounds good.

[repcak]

i think everyone should gave AYDY a chance. listen to this album some more time and you will realize that its good. the only thing that i miss on AYDY are the solos - they are not special. alexi wrote much better solos in his earlier records but on AYDY they are 08/15 in my eyes.

[Mother]

Even the lyrics I feel

I dont give a flying **** mother****er
I dont give a flying **** mother****er
I dont give a flying
I dont give a flying
I dont give a flying ****

I know I may sound whiny after all that so its the end of my rant.

Well, I used to love the album and now it's not too big with me. At least i'm not one of those who listened to 2 or 3 songs and said it sucked, haha.

[repcak]

the first time i listend was: "aha, they changed their style, they aren't as melodic as they used to be, but its good"

after some time: "wow, its amazing... the song structures are more complex then ever"

once again, after some time: "no, its a bad album... i don't like it"

i haven't listened to it for a long time, and then some weeks ago i started to like it once again. now i don't know what to say about AYDY - on the one hand i know that the guitar work is decent (i only miss good solos), on the other hand the drum annoys me and i don't know what to say about their new style. so i'm inbetween -> excellent/bad - i can't decide

[MRDuCran]

I think me and Ben are the only people that truely love AYDY. There's nothing wrong with it at all. In Your Face, Living Dead Beat and We're Not Gonna Fall are some of my favourite Children of Bodom songs, period.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

I only like two songs off of it but im glad that some people like what i think is there worst album or maybe there worst album who knows.

[repcak]

does anybody know where i can get tabs from stone? especially from their "no anaesthesia" album.

on mysongbook.com there are only three tabs and on metaltabs.com one more ...

[AA-12]

http://911tabs.com/tabs/s/stone/ all I can find.

[Shattered_Future]

I don't like it, plain and simple.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't really liked the last two CoB albums much at all.

I haven't really liked the last two CoB albums much at all.

Finally, someone who agrees with me.

Nice avatar

I haven't really liked the last two CoB albums much at all.
the first CoB album i got was HCDR and i still love it.
and AYDY is good, its not my favourite release but i think i will like it someday.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

are those the only two albums you have? like you kacper i got HCDR as my first one, and now i have FtR as well

[repcak]

no, i have everything.

Something Wild
Hatebreeder
Tokyo Warhearts

Actually, I wouldn't know. I've never seen the NIN one.
well, everything is subjective and thats only my opinion.

for me the NIN live cd is the best live cd i ever listened to, followed by Tokyo Warhearts.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

I used to like NIN,there still ok to me

[I'm Charming]

Dude. I love AYDY, it's just not FTR, SW & Hatebreeder. That's all.

All Bodom CDs = 5/5

[I'm Charming]

Yes, it kicks ***.

Damn right. Towards Dead End, Bed Of Razors & Touch Like Angel Of Death live pwn the studio version. War Of Razors is teh secks too. (Alexi Vs Janne)

EDIT: There's no edit botton on the post above <3

[Forlorn Hope]

War of Razors is awesome. Some parts of Towards Dead End (studio version) remind me of some Irish bar song or something :confused:
I like the vocals on Bed Of Razors better on Tokyo Warhearts.
They are the best band i've ever heard/seen live.

They use to be pretty sloppy live judging from some videos I have seen. It is good news that they worked on that. One day, I will see them live.

Yes, I believe you emailed it to me via yousendit.

You MUST see them...they are incredible.

Alexi didn't make any mistakes when I saw CoB. The whole was perfect. His vocals were even good.

[circlethedrain]

If they ever come back around to the greater New York area I will see them.

[Forlorn Hope]

Alexi didn't make any mistakes when I saw CoB. The whole was perfect. His vocals were even good.
Yes they played perfect at my show too...except for one part at the beginning of he show he played a bad note.
CoB + Trivium + Amon Amarth = metalgasm

[MRDuCran]

Pplayed well at my show too. I noticed the Sixpounder solos mainly.

[I'm Charming]

Yes they played perfect at my show too...except for one part at the beginning of he show he played a bad note.
CoB + Trivium + Amon Amarth = metalgasm


Trivium was horrid. Matt couldn't sing for ****. His "singing" & "screams" were just a utter mess. Matt & Corey both made a lot of mistakes on guitar riffs/solos.

Corey far more than Matt did.

Corey would hit bad notes, try to cover by quickly muting the note or a pinch harmonic.

[MRDuCran]

Someone told me at the gig he went to (Trivium), Matt did a guitar solo and it was amazingly fast and stupidly accurate etc etc. *rolls eyes* x 10000000?

yer btw, alexi pisses on trivum bitch

[Drunken Viking]

A lot of people who have seen him have told me he is really sloopy live.

[Forlorn Hope]

Matt is insanely sloppy live. In fact, I think the bassist and drummer were the only ones that weren't. I like Trivium a lot but they are indeed horrible live. I'm still glad I saw them though...just because.
And yes...Children Of Bodom>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Trivium.

[MRDuCran]

There's this "sweep" thing they do at the beginning of each video they do together, argh it's so back. It's not accurate, it's not clean, they down't even use upstrokes. It's down, down, down, (unevenly) then a quick hammer pull off and repeat. I have the Jn edition of Young Guitar and Matt jsut gets on my nerves on it so much. He hogs the spotlight showing of his (sh!tty) bending and vibrato techniques, when Corey is just sitting there, doing nothing, when his solos are better. But he's really shy judging from that video, Matt's the opposite.

[MRDuCran]

Anyway, enough about Trivium.

I recorded another bunch of Bodom stuff. Check it out:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=498189

[The Buttloaves]

Towards Dead End was pretty impressive. How did you do that nifty whammy bar trick right before the verse?

[MRDuCran]

Um, I think I hit the open A and D strings, and depressed with the bar, then hit another harmonic, on the 3rd fret G string and pulled the bar up and let go again.

[I'm Charming]

Mitch = god


haha. This is very impressive.

I seriously feel like I'm listening to CoB, not Mitch.

[blue3]

What amp do you use?

[MRDuCran]

Thank you for the comments Dylan.

Julianne - I don't use my amp to record, it's actually a KORG Pandora PX4 effect unit.

http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM02/Content/Korg/PR/PX4.jpg

Although I did mic up my amp for the "Sixpounder 2" thing.

This is it:

[MRDuCran]

I watched the Nosturi gig today at college.
It's pretty good. It's the first time I've ever seen Alexi's hair wet and **** during a gig, usually it's bone dry and perfectly straight.

The set was pretty much the same as when I saw them so no suprises. I think Alexi's playing was average, some well palyed stuff, some improvised crap.
I'm disappointed they didn't really focus on the keyboard solo on Living Dead Beat, since I transcribed that the other week, I wanted to see him play it.
I asked my friend to learn it today, he said he will but he won't be able to play it full speed.
Watching Alexi play the solo to "Bunch" Me I Bleed, it inspired me to learn it, since I think I'll be able to play it pretty well and it sounds cool, I've always thought that since I first heard it. But I gotta write a 32 bar string quartet (4 instruments) in 2 days so I don't think I should learn it yet.
It's also a shame they didn't show a guitar/key battle thing, I was hoping for that. I think they played one for that gig though. On the US tour they're on now, they're not doing it, which sucks for some people. They won't do it on the Unholy Alliance tour either since their setlist will only be like 30-60 minutes. I'm certainly looking forward to this DVD, I was thinking today after remembering reading on their site that it's their first so there's going to be loads of extras and cool stuff, what if they put subtitles on for the lyrics!!! That would rule, official lyrics straight from Laiho himself. They've asked people to send them videos and rare bootlegs and whatnot so they can stick that on there too, I'm gonna watch this so many times.
OK I'm done, I have no idea why I wrote so much, I have done so recently, who knows.

[repcak]

congratulations, lucky one! :thumb:

but tell me, where did they played? on your college? was it a normal show or special gig?

[MRDuCran]

lol noooo

Children of Bodom didn't play at my college, I watched it at college on video google. If he did, I would have stolen him and taken him home. :)

[repcak]

aaaah... i understand :lol:

... i would rather stole his guitar, not him :thumb:

edit: me is downloading video from google.com :D thanks

[MRDuCran]

Yeah good point, I'm sure he has enough o those RV's to keep him going. He doesn't use his Arrowhead one anymore, so I'd take that, plus it's my fav.

[circlethedrain]

MRDuCran nice job on the Avenged Sevenfold and the CoB, your sweeping was nice and clean, the songs had some mistakes but I thought over all they were really good.

[repcak]

i just listen to it.... the arpeggios in "towards dead end" well played. :thumb: very clean and smooth!

[MRDuCran]

MRDuCran nice job on the Avenged Sevenfold and the CoB, your sweeping was nice and clean, the songs had some mistakes but I thought over all they were really good.

Thanks to both. What songs were you talking about when you said mistakes?

[circlethedrain]

In Towards Dead End after the arppegios the first note or two seem weird but i think soundclick slowed down your playing on me.

[MRDuCran]

Oh, well I should mention that my pc isn't great so there's jumps and stuff in there, I think it is TDE actually where's there's that massive £"$*&£$(£"&$* in the middle somewhere, it's because of the low amount of RAM my pc has, it slows down even more when I press record. To be honest, I don't think I hit any wrong note's in that take, except the end bit where it's just the guitar so I cut that bit off and faded it out. :p.

[repcak]

In Towards the dead end there was/were one/two notes a little bit false, but i can't say which notes and i rather think it was a soundclick problem.

I listened to the solo of "everytime i die" and there you had some more mistakes, the bendings and so on, weren't clean enough.

[circlethedrain]

:p No problem man, like I said though you did a great job. Once I get new strings I want to record Downfall or the live version of Towards Dead End.

[MRDuCran]

In Towards the dead end there was/were one/two notes a little bit false, but i can't say which notes and i rather think it was a soundclick problem.

I listened to the solo of "everytime i die" and there you had some more mistakes, the bendings and so on, weren't clean enough.

The only thing wrong with with TDE was the 2nd time it played the melody bit in Emin during the verse, I forgot it and improvised a little lick then went back into it, I forgot about that, but it still sounds good imo since it's in the same key and everything. Eh.

I listened to ETID again today, I'm not happy with it, I might take it down. As I wrote on there, I only pracitsed it for the first time that morning so it's not going to be perfect.

No problem man, like I said though you did a great job. Once I get new strings I want to record Downfall or the live version of Towards Dead End.

That would be cool. Go for it.

[Crysiss]

Man, I tend to get nervous when Im recording. Any tips as to how to rid of the nervousness?

[circlethedrain]

My best advice is to just keep recording and eventually you will get over it. I myself don't mind recording when i'm alone, but as soon as im in front of people i'm done for.

[Crysiss]

Thats the problem. I always have people around when Im recording. They want to see me record so they sit around all quiet watching me.

[circlethedrain]

Oh, that is horrible, I hate that. I can't help you with that one, but I guess the more you do it the better it gets.

[Crysiss]

Nice location thingie BTW:thumb:

Well thanks anyway.

i have the same problem! last week i visited a friend, and after some time a guy came in, took his guitar and we started to jam. Everytime when there are ppl around who i don't know, i feel very nervous ... i stood there as someone who is holding guitar for the first time in his life. i wasn't able to play the easiest things and i forgot the notes and made a lot of mistakes. i wanted to show off and show him that i'm better than him, but i couldn't - instead he was 100x better than me, though that was wrong :upset:


Nice location thingie BTW:thumb:
yeah, i like it too

[Forlorn Hope]

Nice recordings MRDuCran...how did you get the keyboard sound for the Downfall intro?

[Shred Danson]

Thats the problem. I always have people around when Im recording. They want to see me record so they sit around all quiet watching me.

God, I can't stand that. I alway have to record my parts alone so I can focus on evertything, you know? If I've got a bunch of guys staring at what I'm doing I can't concentrate. Gah...guess it's a pet peeve.

Man, I tend to get nervous when Im recording. Any tips as to how to rid of the nervousness?


Yeah. I start over thinking everything also.

I could NEVER record with a bunch of people watching me.

[Sleepy]

I agree - it'd be tough. Plus, my technique is rather sloppy and needs some work; so it'd be embarassing to have to record the same thing over and over again in front of a bunch of people.

haha. Very true.

I'll practice something up, get it down great. Then recording time, I start over thinking and then mess up. Have to do several takes.

I'd say that's normal for just about everyone - you get so caught up in thinking about doing it right that your fingers slip up/your voice cracks/your pick slips out of your hand.

Way to ruin our fun. :p

I'm not going to bash AYDY because you ruined mine and Charming's Holy Grail remake, but I simply don't like the album. It tries too hard to be badass, and it seems like Children of Bodom didn't so much try something new as forget who they are. I wasn't a massive fan of Hate Crew Deathroll, either.

what have you listened by them so far? only AYDY or have you listened to their older release (hatebreeder, follow the reaper, something wild) too?
if you haven't you don't know children of bodom ... and then, you should check out their older albums :thumb: they are better :D

What do you guys think they should do for there next cover? i think they should do a cover of devil went down to gorgia, if you listen to the solo battles in it alexi or janne could pull it off, alot of it sounds like stuff out of there songs anyways.

@Mitch: i recently got i problem, maybe you can help me. first of all i'm burn out on guitar... i don't enjoy it anymore, don't have fun while playing and therefore i haven't really played guitar for more than one week.
The main reason is that i can't hear the same melodies all the time; i sit down and practise my licks for some hours to play it smoother and faster but after some weeks i got sick of the same melodies... its the same with Kalmah's Swamphell. i have to relearn it, cause i made the same mistake all the time, but its so frustrating. i play it at 40bpm and i can't play it for 10x without mistake. at least at the 4th time i made a mistake :upset:
i have this routine i do every time: warm up, play licks, concentrate on technique and finger stretching, learning songs (lick after lick, part after part) - and everything i do is playing slow... increasing speed takes a lot (too much) of time; so therefore i think i'm frustrated, don't enjoy guitar anymore, etc.

can you give me some tips i can do better? how are you practising, playing? do you too have any special routine-practise?

I'm pretty sure Sixpounder is CGCFAD, correct me if I'm wrong though.

Repcak: Do you have a teacher? If not maybe get one. That could help/encourage you to play more often and a teacher should know how to get you out of the rut that you're in. Alternatively, I guess you could just try learning some fairly easy yet fun to play stuff to keep your enjoyment alive.

I doubt I'm much help. I'm distracted at the moment so I can't give you a very good answer.

[Squirrel]

Something Wild is C# Standard.

Follow the Reaper and Hatebreeder and D standard - DGCFAD

Hatecrew Deathroll is D standard except Angels Dont Kill and Sixpounder.

AYDY is Drop D: Down a step - CGCFAD.

you mean, drop C in C standard tuning, do you?

[Squirrel]

No ?

Drop D = DADGBE

then,

Down a Step = CGCFAD.

[Thor]

No ?

Drop D = DADGBE

then,

Down a Step = CGCFAD.
Bodom doesn't play in drop D though, they just drop everything a whole step and play in D Standard, then just drop the low string to a C.

[Squirrel]

I'm not saying they play in Drop D? Learn to read.

They use the tuning 'Drop D: Down a step' which morons call 'Drop C' - CGCFAD.

[repcak]

so you mean, Drop C in D Standard, right? :p

[Squirrel]

so you mean, Drop C in D Standard, right? :p

trying doing more diatonic exercises, or bits from different solos you wanna do. Try changing it up more if you find everything becoming STALE

I know what you are saying... Try playing songs for your friends, start a band, write your own material.

[repcak]

diatonic exercises? what do you mean?

the other thing is... if you want to learn something, you have to start to play it SLOW and increase the speed each time a little bit.... and thats frustrating too! i can play some licks fast, as fast as it should be, but its sloppy... but when i want to play it clean i take my metronome and play this lick 20-30x until i increase the speed... and thats frustrating... cause it takes so long to increase the speed.
everything i play, i play at 50% of the speed it should be :upset:

and tell me, how many time do you practise and how much of the time you play just for fun and do other things (like theory)

[Kurrpt]

diatonic exercises, as in exercises that follow a progression, and actually sound like music

can you give me some tips i can do better? how are you practising, playing? do you too have any special routine-practise?

I understand where you're coming from, I get sick of playing the same stuff all day everyday too, but it's pretty much the only way to get it at blinding speeds.

For the Swamphell thing, I would say turn the metronome OFF and play it as slow as you can without messing up. Even if you have the metronome at 40bpm, you're still being pressured to keep in time and be constantly playing, if you haven't mastered it in terms of what frets to play, then you should not be practising with a metronome, just play each note one by one really slow without an amp or clean and make sure you have it down perfectly, then put the metronome on at 40.

I get discouraged from playing all the time, after an hour I'm bored of the licks, the guitar, myself, life, but you just got to stick at it, take a break, have a drink etc and maybe listen to a really good song, when I do that, I think "woh, I wanna be able to do that" then it motivates me to play again, and since I've been playing already that day, I'm kinda warmed up so I can jump right in. Also, watching live videos and instructional stuff also gets me in the guitar playing mood, give that a shot.

[guitrguy]

diatonic exercises, as in exercises that follow a progression, and actually sound like music
Playing in key basically. When something is said to be Diatonic the meant it is in whatever key. An example would be saying that B is diatoninc in Cmaj.

Damn straight, If wasn't I would probably fail out of school.

[repcak]

thank you Mitch; good to know that i'm not the only one, who is getting sick of licks, when playing them all the time.

to the swamphell song: the funny thing is, that when i play it with the wrong technique but fast i can play it without mistake... but when i try to play it with the right technique i can't ... if fast or slow, i make the same mistake.

to motivate yourself with guitar-videos: its the same i do too! take a break and then listen to a good song or video and then practise again ... 100% motivated. the strange thing is, that this didn't helped me the last week. i got sick of guitar in general... i even tried not to listen to metal :eek: i think the best thing is to make a break... don't touch the guitar for a week... yesterday i played a little bit and today i enjoyed playing guitar (a little bit).

I think everyone must get sick of playing at some point in their musical lives, especially if it's like us, trying to get to a stupidly high level of playing but practising everything soo slow, it can get depressing.

The to Swaphell thing, it's probably because you don't know it well enough yet, as I said. It's weird how it works but you can play some things faster than you can slow. You'll have more accuracy but less consistency so getting it perfect slowly is essential.

I've been taking a break, not because I'm bored of guitar, just because I'm a lazy bastard during holidays.

Quoted for truth.

[repcak]

i once again analysed my fingermoves and i think one of the problems, why i make this mistake is that my pinky and ringfinger (4 and 3) are too weak, though they shouldnt, cause i use them often - but in this fingerpattern the moves seem to be a little uncontrolled and weak.
so i think i have to strength them through some pinky and ringfinger exercises :D

thanks

[Kurrpt]

thats the common misconception repcak...


people believe their ring and pinky are "weak", so they do finger trills over and over on those two fingers. The problem is, they are compensating for coordination problems by repeating a task a million times. It really instill bad technique.

The thing to do is try to be mindful of those two digits at all times (focus). It sounds easy, or over simplified, but its really the truth. If you havent already figured out, fretting a note takes VERY little energy, therefore its practically negligable that you have a LOT of muscle in your fingers. The trick is to repeat the task over and over, and train your muscle memory to be perfect, while maintaining that level of precision.

[repcak]

hm... i won't make thrills. hm... the problem i have is maybe not the strength (sorry that i expressed myself wrong) but its the coordination between my ringfinger and pinky, when i have to use them one after another

i would do those exercises i think:
-----------------
---------------
---------------
-----------3-4
------3-4-----
-3-4----------etc.
or/and
---------3-5
-----3-5----
-3-5--------etc.

the swamphell song is:
----------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------16--------14
-16-13----------------16-15--------15---16-15-----
--------13----------13--------16-13------------------
-----------14---14------------------------------------
--------------16---------------------------------------

the marked notes are the notes i always make a mistake....the end of the sweeping
----16
15---
is the main problem... and you use the ringfinger and pinky.

[Kurrpt]

you definitely have the right idea...


what REALLY helps me, is to sit down, close my eyes, and concentrate my hardest on those 2 fingers. Ill actually be able to feel the wood/fret wire under those 2 fingers and maintain a VERY small heighth above the fretboard.

You also need to learn the relationships with your other fingers. Something like

43424142 works pretty nice, but you dont wanna get into a habbit of doing the same lick over and over. Mixing it up definitely goes a long way

[repcak]

yeah, mixing it up is a good idea... the reason i'm frustrated since last week :p

what i do as a warm up is: 1234, 1324, 1423.

... and closing my eyes and concentrate on my moves is a really good idea... have to try this out. thanks :thumb:

thats really the distinction ive tried to make. I realized some time ago that in order to play in a live situation and do it with any kind of professionalism, that a level of proficiency and accuracy would have to be attained. You could argue that i spend too much time on this endeavor, but its really helping me to get a handle on guitar overall

THe progress is gradual, but its noticeable. When I started classical guitar I didn't it was helping that much, but I jammed out with a friend who I hadn't seen in awhile and he commented on how much I had improved on guitar.
