They've been changing a few songs, like swapping 3-4.

Well, if the dvd would have FTR on it, it would be 40% better.

What do they play at Unholy Alliance?

Lol what the hell. I read it like six times, and never saw it. Weird.

But anyway, thats great. Now I'll be getting it for sure.

[MRDuCran]

It sucks that they didn't show Follow the Reaper or We're Not Gonna Fall on the Nosturi video.

[Shadows]

I thoroughly enjoy Children of Bodom.

[AA-12]

Look who it is :D

[Shadows]

I've been looking for you. :)

[AA-12]

Yeah, i'm pretty good at sneaking around. Feeling any better?

[Shadows]

Not really. :( I'm getting better though, since she's out of the hospital and able to talk more. Why does nobody post on the board anymore?

[AA-12]

Ah, hopefully you'll start feeling good soon then :)

I'm not sure. I think people assumed that when you aren't there, no one posts, haha.

[Shadows]

I guess not. :( Tell everyone to come back!

How's your abdomen?

[I'm Charming]

Not really. :( I'm getting better though, since she's out of the hospital and able to talk more. Why does nobody post on the board anymore?
who and the what where?

[AA-12]

Much better now. I had oral surgery a week ago so now i'm dealing with that, heh. It's just about healed all the way though.

Sharp objects

Actually I had 4 wisdom teeth that were growing into the bone. They would eventually deteriorate my jaw bone. I got them pulled and packed, and on I went.

I eat sharp objects too! my mommy says they are good for me

[Shadows]

Ouch, sounds like a grand time. Did they give you any vicodin for it? A friend of mine got some after his wisdom teeth were pulled and he was acting like a complete retard the next day.

[AA-12]

Yeah, but they didn't do much and made me itch terribly. I guess I was allergic. They gave me ketamine to put me out during the surgery. It lasts for like 2 days, haha. Free legal drug trip :)

I could've used some of that during one of the nights I had down in your neck of the woods. =/

I'd think so. So you'd you throw it up or dispose of it prison style?

I wouldn't have thrown it up. Plastic won't kill you, so it's not worth throwing up over.
lol my friend was telling me about this time his uncle swallowed about 40 cents and a brass ring...I was left in a confused state...

hahaha what an idiot...... I've never swallowed anything odd. I've almost swallowed a pick though. Since I always have the pick inbetween my lips or in my teeth.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I swallowed a piece of lego when I was younger, that's all I can think of.

[I'm Charming]

luckily it was only a small piece.

I think it was a car door or something.

ohh. Such a letdown.

So how many pages can we go without CoB talk?

[blue3]

I swallowed a piece of lego when I was younger, that's all I can think of.I can't even swallow a pill.. That's cool though, you should keep eating legos and see what happens.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

i also suck at swallowing pills whole...

lego is no worries though

[blue3]

haha. fag.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

hey julianne, f u.

[AA-12]

Gag reflex ftw

[Squirrel]

Alot of the people in the guitar forum that claim to hate BC Richs haven't played them, they just say they look ugly and go by what others say.

Fact is, my BC Rich is awesome whether people want to accept that or not.


Wiesel words again.

[AA-12]

Weisel*

Get it together Squirrel >:-[

[Shadows]

You again!

[AA-12]

:-0

[Squirrel]

wiesel, actually.

[AA-12]

Yeah, I googled that and it turns out it could be both :-\

[Squirrel]

its not either, actually/also

[AA-12]

weasel?

[Squirrel]

yer

[MRDuCran]

Meaning what...

[Squirrel]

You're on the god damn internet - the biggest information resource - look it up you retard.

[MRDuCran]

I did.

Except first I just put "wiesel", then I tried Weasel Words and got something.

Regardless, I'm sticking with what I said.

[repcak]

i suppose that most of you guitar player practise with a metronome... and to see how you progress do you write down how fast you can play something on day xy?

i practise a lot of different licks, scales, riffs etc. and each of them i play in a different speed and i don't know where i should write down how fast i can play lick xy.

would like to know how you handle it...

[AA-12]

I don't play with a metronome very often, but If I do I just remember what I had it set at before and go from there.

[MRDuCran]

You don't know where...?

A piece of paper...

I have a powertab of alternate picking exercises I need to print out and when I do, I'll write the speeds underneath each bar. Even if I scribble something down I'll stick the tempos underneath it in usually a red pen.

[AA-12]

Austrians have not yet discovered paper, Mitch :p

[repcak]

first i used an excel tabell (we have computers in austria, wotan :eek: )
and i thought of writing it under each bar, but then i thought that after a while there would be too much scribble ;)

[MRDuCran]

Austrians have not yet discovered paper, Mitch :p

lol

first i used an excel tabell (we have computers in austria, wotan )
and i thought of writing it under each bar, but then i thought that after a while there would be too much scribble.

I usually start at 40bpm on every exercise, but I don't write "40" everytime I practise.

I'll always have the highest tempo on there, so if day one I hit 120, and day 2 I hit 110, I won't write anything down on the 2nd day.

[repcak]

i spend far too much time in front of the computer. i have to change it... to print all the exercises would be a good idea. in two weeks i will be at home again and the computer there is soooo slow, so i will use it only as a metronome.

[MRDuCran]

I spend too much time here too. If I'm forced to get a job, I'll have to cut down, and increase the guitar playing.

[Forlorn Hope]

I need to spend more time playing with a metronome. I haven't really improved much in awhile.

[repcak]

i play always in front of the computer, but then i can't concentrate 100% on playing cause i check MX every few minutes .... its horrible.

[Forlorn Hope]

I do the same thing when I'm at my mom's. When I'm here at my dad's I just sit in my room and play random things trying to write new riffs and songs.


NP: Random Kalmah that I just downloaded :D

[MRDuCran]

lol I know what you mean, I'm always popping down here to check this, and downloads, etc.

Look at some ESP's. They've got some guitars with those body types.

ESP's are great too. couple days ago I got an esp ltd H-250 which happens to be autographed by megadeth.

[Forlorn Hope]

I was talking about ESP's. Unless what I'm talking about itsn't called SV. I'm talking about Alexi's guitar basically. But I wish there was a cheaper version, I like the shape, pinstripe, Alder Body, the HZ's (surprisingly)...etc
Maybe if I somehow achieve a few thousand dollars instantly without having to do anything I'll custom order one :P

Alexi's guitar is an overpriced piece of junk. lol. Just get a RR.

[MRDuCran]

Alexi's guitar is an RV. An SV IS the cheaper version, some of which that have 2 pickups. I probably wouldn't buy anything like because the 24fret fret access isn't as easy as something like an RG550.

Nope. Maybe a V/something similiar.

It's called the ESP LTD MMV SN. I have one, and it took me forever to find. It's a pretty nice guitar for the money, but it could use some better pickups. There's no real intermediate price level. It goes from affordable to hella expensive, but they just released a new model, so it may have changed.

If you have insanely long fingers like me, then it's fine. or you could tap it?

[MRDuCran]

I have pretty long fingers and they're rather thin, but I know how easy it can be on some guitars, and the rg I have currently is not what I'd want on my main guitar. People say "oh you don't need to the 24th fret", but I do. I use it alot.

[repcak]

i have only 22frets and i hate it... does anyonw know how's the access to the 24th fret on Jacksons? especially the DXMG or a MG serie in general?

ähm, Mitch i started to play guitar again :p and practise your sweep shapes....
20h15---------15

you roll over the index right? i hate it :p

That's definately good to hear.

That shape has been a pain in the azz to many people, including me at times, but you roll your middle or ring finger for that one.

[repcak]

oh yes sure... i meant ring finger... not index :rolleyes:
so, if its difficult for a lot of ppl to play it and i'm not the only one who struggles with his "rolling", it would be better to cocentrate on other shapes?! and after some time, when i'm better come back again to this A-shape?

yes, started playing again... i finished the most important things for university and now i have more time again :D

[MRDuCran]

If you're asking me, which you are...I'd say no. Just because everyone else has trouble, it shouldn't mean you should take a break or give up. Practise that one more if anything and get better than everyone else at it. If it's a weak spot, don't leave it like that, turn it into a strong point. Same goes wih anything.

You should practise all the shapes equally. I usually join them all up without stopping and try just improvising using anything.

[repcak]

till now i only practised the first shape for 3 and 4 strings :/
and a little bit of the A-shape on 3 strings...

[MRDuCran]

Well of course it's up to you what you practise, but if you want to get good at it and become able to play them all, you need to practise them all.

I have a DXMG. The access isn't good. I have to use my ring finger and angle my hand. It would be nice if it had a cutaway but it doesnt. It's not too horribly unbearable because I don't use the 24th much, but it can get a little annoying.

Yeah it's a music channel. I wasn't sure where it was shown.


Yeah the Sonic Mazimizer is cool. I haven't worked with it too much but I've basically opened it up and set it to guitar and left it at that, it looks pretty limited in terms of tone. It seems to me that the first 2 dials are bass and treble on an amp to me. Is it just an extension?

Not sure what you mean by extension.
But, definitely not the main tone shaping tool. I use it basically as a touch up. After I'm done recording a song I just run it through that to give it more presance. The "process" knob is basically a presance knob, and does add treble. The low contour is obviously just bass. The only thing I don't like about it is that it gives kindof a "scooped" sound, but I haven't tried adding more mids afterward yet cause I'm at my dad's.

[MRDuCran]

What I meant by extension what you explained as a "touch up" so we both meant the same thing.

An extension of what the amp does, i.e gives you treble, bass settings etc.

I think that presense knob comes in handy actually. I think I'm using it on all the guitar tracks on my recording of Bleeding Mascara by Ateryu that I just finished so I'll definately get some use out of it.

Atreyu are pathetic. They just ripped off In Flames' to make "their" hit song, right side of the bed. They are sloppy too. Bland. Boring.

lol. I'd except better from you Mitch.

I started practicing sixpounder again. I learned part of AYDY and I'll try to nail the rest tomorrow.

Yeah I'll send it over once I'm happy with the tones, which probably won't ever happen, I'm using a Line 6 Spider 2 amp!

I think I already mentioned, that I had to learn it for a performance I was supposed to be doing today (it's now 08:20 Wednesday morning for moi) but the fukking thing got cancelled.

It's a good song for showing off because for me, it's easy and sounds hard. Haha I watched some kids on youtube playing the intro, fukk it's BAD.

But anyway, since I learnt the whole thing, I thought I might as well record it so then people will think I'm god lawl.

I was messing around with Cool Edit Pro 2 a few nights ago and found that you can mess around with the pitch of a recorded wave file, i.e guitar riff or vocal.

You could record Nile in drop D, and drop it another 5 semitones without touching your tuning pegs, and it'd probably sound pretty close, depending on your original tone of course. And Sixpounder.

Also, you can record a half arsed scream, add distortion, echo, reverb, chorus, and drop it 7 semitones and sound like Lord Worm. :)

I did one and it sounds like that scream in the beginning of Crown of Thorns.

I hope you notice my sexy paragraphs.

@Forlorn Hope: i plan to buy the Jackson DXMG next week or something and because you own one, can you tell me how you like your DXMG? some weak points, some pro-contra-arguments .... :thumb:

[Forlorn Hope]

Well I definitely love the neck, compound radius. Most people don't like the EMG HZ's, but I personally think they are fine. The fret access is a little weak, but bearable I guess. When I first got it, the little thing that holds the whammy bar jack kept coming loose, then I would have to open up the back and tighten it, but after awhile it stopped doing that. I'd look at some reviews, cause it's the highest end guitar I've played. So in my hands, it feels like gold, but if I have played one of the Soloist models for example, I'm sure I wouldnt be praising it as much. But from my standpoint, it is a great guitar. Definitely worth buying :)




plus I'm a Jackson whore...

Have you played one yet anywhere?

[Shadows]

I'm a Jackson whore too. :) The DXMG is a good deal.

No problem.

I'm thinking about getting another guitar for drop tunings, since some of the covers our band plays is in Drop D down a step. I might get that sexy black cherry DKMG string through off musiciansfriend. :cool:

Somebody's got too much free time...

I want a Jackson, but I want to play one before I get anything. I've never played a Jackson before.

Right now we have a Ken Parker guitar sitting here. It is one of the most bizarre things I've ever played...the body's made out of some plasticky substance. The whole thing weighs less than 5 pounds, and it's got 2 humbuckers and a piezo pickup. Which basically means you can get both electric and acoustic sounds out of it.

Nah the FR is great. But adjusting springs etc on stage might not be the best idea. But, we haven't needed to play Drop C live so its all good.

I picked up an acoustic today :D
It's an Alvarez, never heard of them before, but its really nice. It was originally about $690 or so, but I got it (and a hardshell case) for $390. It was marked half price cause it was an "almost perfect" guitar. Meaning there's a slight imperfection in it (I have yet to find it) so they won't sell for full price. It's acoustic/electric so I can record nicely with it too. I would have pics, but I don't own a camera...

No nasty dents, and there is nothing wrong with it that I can tell. The guy there said sometimes they put them on "almost perfect" even if they just buffed a spot too much of something. But, a $690 guitar for $390 = good deal no matter what the "imperfection" might be.

...unless the headstock is torn off or something...

Drop D usually. The only thing we play that's in standard is For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica, which is easily done in Drop D anyway lol.

[I'm Charming]

Drop D usually. Any Metallica, is easily done anyway lol.

Nice fix lol.
Vocal ranges fit nicely with DADGBE. Also we can get away with E standard covers in Drop D, as well of most of our other covers, which are in Drop D. Any Drop C covers are done in Drop D cause we are already in Drop D :p :cool:

Hmm. I personally wouldn't cover something live a step higher (DADGBE 1 step higher than CGCFAD, there's a huge difference)

Aren't you into metalcore and stuff like AILD/KSE/etc? Those bands play in CGCFAD, most anyways.

So you just convert the power chords to barre chords?

Example...
D-4
A-4
E-2

D-4
A-4
D-4

Yea thats exactly what we do. Right now we only know 2 songs in Drop C. Rest are in Drop D. We picked out some new covers to do, which are in Drop C, but right now we have to write more originals. So by the time we need to start doing Drop C songs in Drop C, we will have the money to buy "Drop C guitars".
Songs we might do are World Ablaze by Killswitch Engage and Ordinary story by In Flames :) I know Ordinary Story is probably in C standard, but it sounds really really easy, so playing it in Drop C shouldn't be a problem.

[MRDuCran]

I request Dylan records either Dyers Eve, Disposable Heroes, Battery, Master of Puppets, Damage Inc, Whiplash, Blackened, One, Creeping Death, St. Anger, Fight Fire with Fire. Lets see how you get on with one of those...

I'm tempted to record something with this acoustic, but I'm not sure what. Not a full song. maybe just an intro or something...

lol. Metallica is like the plague. You just don't touch it.

Those aren't insanely technical tunes. FFWF is just fast. Master Of Puppets is boring... Whiplash is fast from what I remember. Blackened is boring... Creeping Death is boring.... St anger? heh. I needed a laugh.

I can't remember how Dyers Eve, Disposible Heroes or damage inc go.

One is the only Metallica song I'd consider good.

Battery is annoying.

PS: I'd cover blink 182 or Death Cab For Cutie before I did Metallica.

I hate metallica musically. It's bland and boring. I hate them as people to. Mostly Lars though.

I used to play MoP on an acoustic. kthx. (not the whole song, but most of it). As for Harvester Of Sarrow, the same. I played theintro to st anger and a couple other tunes by them.

The only thing in there I don't think I could play, is the One solo.

It's not even a debate.

Blink > metallica
simple plan > metallica
deathcab > metallica
slipknot > metallica
offspring > metallica
green day > metallica
Fall out boy > metallica

Getting the point?

[MRDuCran]

Well I'd need to proof if you say you can play the Battery riff, Puppets downpicked, disposable heroes properly without stopping, Dyers Eve etc.

The 2nd part isn't worth bothering with, it's your opinion. I know what music you usually listen to so not liking Metallica is understandable. I don't even like them as much as I used to but there's no denying that they're one of the most influential bands in the world ever along with Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Led Zepplin and all them lot.

For the record: I alt picked MoP. As I do with ALMOST everything. I down pick the AYDY intro though.
I can't remember playing or saying I played Battery. I can't remember what Disposable Heroes sounds like, same for Dyers Eve.

I don't want to argue on "influential", I agree obviously with Black Sabbath. They were the first "heavy metal" band. From the reading I've done.
I used to listen to Van Halen, though not in a while. I should dl a few albums. heh.

The st anger made me laugh though. That's one of the worst albms I've ever heard. The song is among the worst on it.

While we're on subject of downpicking.

What's the difference if I downpick only a riff or economy pick it? Both are downpicking it...

[repcak]

if you downpick or alternate pick - it would sound differently (correct me if i'm wrong)

Dyers Eve is the fastest song Metallica ever wrote right? and they never played it live
3-4-3-4-3-4 at 250bmp?`they can't play it :D

Depends. Some stuff does sound different, some doesn't. It reallly depends on the riff/song.

hha 123 on Adam and his guitar stuff.

Sure sure sure. Metallica is worthless, talentless, bland, boring, over hyped, annoying crap. Always has been & always will be.

Putting their music aside, they're terrible people. I'm not just talking about the napster thing. That was very understandable. It's where they've taken it. (IE, sueing a swedish steel mining company because the swedish word for metal(ha kinda what steel is ) was "to close to metallica". I have an idea. Don't pick such a generic band name and act like you're 40something, not 5 year olds accusing the other kids of "copying him". I hate Lars mostly, though I have no soft spots for any of them.

I don't care what Mitch says on this one. He's normally right on with guitar stuff. I think he's very wrong on this.

EDIT: To Julianne. Not really.

I mean. When you make (the song or album for that matter) St. Anger a point in your arguement, you've seriously run out of gas.

And I suspected you played MoP with alternate picking, I can't play it with downstrokes either.

Yeah repcak, they have played Dyers Eve live. I don't know if they played 3-4-3-4-3-4 at 250 or whatnot, but they certainly played the whole thing without stopping. It's on video google.

[repcak]

i once read a guitar lesson by somebody from chopsfromhell.com and the one said that metallica never played it live ... well, you corrected me (and him)


edit: do you all know all notes on the fretboard? if you do, how did you learn them? by memorzing it (from a sheet), or by looking what note you play while playing a song?

__________________________________________________ ___________

The notes on the fretboard lol, I thought you meant the notes for Dyers Eve.

Um, I learn the notes in like my first month of playing, so I can't remember.

I worked it out with common sense. Every open string is its name (eadgbe), every 12th fret is the same (eadgbe). Every 5th fret is the same as the open string above (adgce - except the 5th on G string which is C instead of B, but then you remember that, so 4th on G = B)

Then just go from there. 1st fret is obviously going to be one note higher than the open string, so you kinda jsut know after a while. I never sat down and thought, I'm going to learn the notes.

[I'm Charming]

How can I be wrong about an opinion?

You are. yeah, I did. There's nothing wrong with alt picking.

3-4 over and over at 250 isn't technical. Just fast and stupid.

[MRDuCran]

I didn't say there was anything wrong, but not many people can play it with only downstrokes.

And it's not 3-4 over and over, it's like 4 or 8 notes and that's it. I'm not going to continue because it's pointless.

[Huber]

Meh, this is why it's better to like the music, and not the people behind it. I love Metallica, one of my faves. I'm not in any place to say what kind of people they are and such because I do not know them, and as far as I'm concerned no one on this board does.

Metallica has made some good music over the years, whether you like it or not, I'd have trouble believing anyone who likes metal would really think it's bad music. Most people that do only do because they are scared of becoming cliche because Metallica is so popular.

Meh, there I said it. I couldn't let it rest without giving my 2 cents.

edit:
After reading my post I thought I should say this: Good or bad (music) is far different from like/dislike. If you think about it.

Then why pick a "pointless battle" in the first place?

Here's a list of hard **** I've failed at playing, since you prolly would like to hear.

The lead intro to Splintered Visions by Into Eternity.
Necrophagist- several songs stabwound and seven are the ones I remember
The arrpegio in Nemesis - Arch Enemy. I actually got that. It seriously took a month to learn and the song wasn't that fun to play, so I stopped.
There's a few things I can't think of. Basically sweeps and lightning fast leads/solo

Yes I understand they are very technical, but technicality is not all that matters in music to me, and I'm sure not to you either. I was just making a joke about them because I don't like their general sound. By saying "to each his own" I meant that I think they are utter crap, not that they are utter crap. I give Cannibal Corpse credit because they are good musicians for what they play, whether I like the sound of it or not. And like you, I'm not intending to start a flame war or anything, I was just joking around.

And for the record:
Children Of Bodom, Norther, Kalmah, Iron Maiden, Dragonforce, In Flames, Wintersun, Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child, Shadows Fall, Mors Principium Est, Iced Earth, Pantera, Racer X/Paul Gilbert, Opeth, Dark Tranquility, Black Label Society, Dio, Slayer, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Cradle Of Filth, Arch Enemy, and Amon Amarth are all metal that isnt metalcore.

I hope I didn't seem like I was being a douche bag or anything, just joking around as I usually do.

Fukk yes. Nooo way in hell I'd have a chance at that. I can play the first parts of the wretched spawn, but that's not very fast. chords plus a riff.

Cradle Of FIlth isn't metal. 'tis mallcore. Shadows Fall is NWONAHM or w/e it's called. aka more polished/skilled metalcore. Pantera isn't special. BLS= PH PH PH PH boring riff PH PH PH PH bad vox attempt PH PH PH and another PH!


The rest is good stuff.

Fair enough. You don't seem to like the extreme metal much. In fact, hardly any regs of this thread do. It seems at least.

The solo sections of Necrophagist are awesome, but the rest of their songs seem to random and chaotic for me. I used to like Nile because of the novelty of how fast their drummer is. :lol:

The solo sections of Necrophagist are awesome, but the rest of their songs seem to random and chaotic for me. I used to like Nile because of the novelty of how fast their drummer is. :lol:
If you think Kollias is fast, try Derek Roddy's drumming in Hate Eternal.

Necrophagist's riffs are very calculated. Not chaotic at all. It's about as controlled and tight as it can get.

Their sweeps are insane.

I thought CoF was extreme gothic metal
nope. Mallcore.

There's too many "genres" of metal, only the mighty Chuck Norris can understand and distinguish all of them.

/apologize for Chuck Norris joke

Not accepted. He'd kick your *** for such a terrible attempt at humor.

[Forlorn Hope]

I believe he would have bashed my face in before I made the terrible joke.

[Shred Danson]

nope. Mallcore.

Lamest term for "popular" music ever.

[Forlorn Hope]

Lamest term for "popular" music ever.
:lol: I agree.

[I'm Charming]

Lamest term for "popular" music ever.
Not at all. Infact it more so refers to the people.

The dressed in all black, CoF/HIM/MCR shirts, eye liner, black nails, hanging around hot topic finding 10,000 ways to say "i hate you rents".

It's the ****ty bands that fall and feed into that. CoF being one.

[Confessed2005]

CoB is FuN = so I just chuck on any of their albums.

ItS AlL GooD

[Apocalyptic Raids]

ok then.

[I'm Charming]

I've realized something very important

Lake Bodom is by far the best song from Children Of Bodom.

It has an incredibly amazing lead intro. Catchy verses. A very heavy power chord section in the chorus. Excellent soloing.

It is indeed, CoB's best tune.

[MRDuCran]

It's played in 6 different keys, too.

[Corkofski]

i love that song...

they'd better play it in november

[I'm Charming]

It's played in 6 different keys, too.
Yup. I forgot that.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Great song

[I'm Charming]

Great song
Indeed. Sup Mandy?

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Nothing much just getting ready to leave for Wal-Mart lol !!!!! Wal-Mart is always fun fun :-)

I hate wal mart. It's gotta be the worst place, even worse than hot topic and abercrombie combined.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

argh.... i have to learn more theory. yesterday i met my guitar teacher again and we talked about music, guitar, cob and next week i will take some lessons again.
... at least i want do understand whats going on in songs.

[I'm Charming]

I'm taking Music Fundementals in the fall. It's beginning theory. It should be fun.

I honestly don't want to learn an extensive amount of theory.

I'd rather play what I feel, not be a robot.

Just like, how many minutes in my life have I spent learning about time sigs?

0.

Can I play fine in most? Sure. I just listen to the song and play w/e til I have it. I don't need a couple numbers telling me "do this".

I've always been fine doing it too. Listen to the song. How hard is that?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't really like theory. I understand how it is useful, but I don't really have the patience for it.

I know a bunch of scales etc and I'm fine with that.

With my teacher I either learn a song or we do some improvising stuff.

[MRDuCran]

I guess I have it good then. I can learn theory stuff pretty quick and easy. I love using theory.

[blue3]

ugh theory. I learned a lot of scales last week but half of those I don't even remember now.

[repcak]

i think i will buy (together with my DXMG) a Digitech RP-80 guitar processor, link (http://www.digitech.com/products/rp80.htm)

what do you say to this digitech? any better recommendations? it shouldn't cost more than 80Euro, and my guitar teacher uses the same. well, the most important thing is that it has a drumcomputer (and yes, effects too :p ).

[I'm Charming]

Effects are lame.


I have excellent tone. A few days ago I cracked the secret to tone. lol. I lowered the gain just a bit, lowered the dept of the distortion and raised the treble a tad.

Now it's thick, heavy and totallly awesome.

[repcak]

yeah, but you will get only a good tone with an good amp - i have a marshall mg 15 cdr.

and one of the things i hate is the monotone "click" of my metronome... i hate it. so a drumcomputer would be a great help for me!

[MRDuCran]

I need a good amp, but first I need a larger room.

[I'm Charming]

I have a Marshall. I love it. It's just a matter of figuring it out. Finding a heavy as hell yet smooth tone.

[MRDuCran]

I'll probably get a Marshall too, but my focus is on my technique. Good playing can shine through a crap amp so that's what I'm aiming for.

[I'm Charming]

I'll probably get a Marshall too, but my focus is on my technique. Good playing can shine through a crap amp so that's what I'm aiming for.
So you think it's a wise idea to get a crappy amp, so you need to work harder?

That makes no sense.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think he meant that his technique takes priority over the quality of his equipment.

[I'm Charming]

I got that part. I mean, no matter how polished you are/want to be; you'd want a great amp.


orrr...maybe that's just me.

If it sounds wayyy better, than it's more enjoyble to play/hear, therefor I'll work harder and play more

[repcak]

maybe i will buy a new amp in october/november, but i don't want to get a marshall amp.
it should be good enough to play small gigs - maybe 80watt or something like that.

[MRDuCran]

I think he meant that his technique takes priority over the quality of his equipment.

Yeah exactly.

I don't need an amp, I don't have enough for an amp, so I'm not going to work my arse off just to get an amp, because I make sure my playing sounds good through the one I have at the moment. As soon as I have enough for decent one, I'll probably get one unless there's something else that's more important, obviously.
