ChuckyTruant: Guitarists And Bassists Unite!

Cygnatti 07.31.13	I was both for a while, but that was years ago. eff
ZippaThaRippa 07.31.13	1) Shecter Stiletto 2) BEAD 3) metal, hardcore, little bits of jazz and bossa nova and other things I learned in school
Calc 07.31.13	My voice. Sexy Baritone. Panty Droppers.
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	I'll start. 1) Ibanez RGA121 Prestige 2) DADGCF // EADGCF 3) Metal // Hardcore // DM // Jazz // Fusion
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Calc what do you tune to?
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	And very nice Zippa. I'm not a huge fan of Schecter guitars, but their basses are fantastic.
ZippaThaRippa 07.31.13	To the key of pussy
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Hahah
ZippaThaRippa 07.31.13	Yeah dude, I put some flatwound strings on it. The action is higher than you'd expect. Definitely a lot higher than most basses I've played but it plays like a dream. Also, the quilted maple and the fret inlays are damn beautiful. Can't believe it was only 400
Calc 07.31.13	Sexy Baritone. [2] and what Zippa said, i'm told its frequency causes intense vibrations.
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Hahah damn nice Calc. Too bad you're married lol
thumbcrusher 07.31.13	why do you tune the B and high E up a semitone chuck? is it some jazz thing i have never encountered?
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	All fourths
ZippaThaRippa 07.31.13	Makes sense. Easier to riff that way.
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Easy to move triads and other smaller chords around that way. Makes more sense for chromaticism too
JustinKing 07.31.13	PRS SE Custom 24 A E A D F# B metalcore, hardcore, death metal, jazz influence in my leads
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	M/m/m/m/
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Justin you should give all fourths a try
thumbcrusher 07.31.13	the only time i've moved things around like that to try to make it easier was going into open c but felt more limited that way after a while i've gone back to the safety of drop d
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Yeah using all fourths is hard for chordal stuff at first but once you figure out some alternate fingerings it is 10x better
JustinKing 07.31.13	Never tried that. I probably should soon. I need to branch out with my tunings.
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	It's also awesome for fusion. Check out Tom Quayle. Excellent fusion player who uses all fourths
Amphoteric 07.31.13	1) Godin LG 2) EADGBE / DGCFAD / DADGBE 3) Random sloppy metal riffs / poor attempts at covering various songs
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Hah awesome man. Godin makes solid stuff
OmairSh 07.31.13	1) Air Guitar 2) So many 3) Prog, metal, ambient, experimental m/
none 07.31.13	1) my wang 2) the one that goes the fastest 3) sexy ;)
JustinKing 07.31.13	I need to get back on my lead work. I'm the only guitarist of my band, so I always work the rhythm first. I've had so many various groundworks in my head that I've been unusually focused on complicating the rhythm parts to new songs that I hardly have any leads for them. Though I do usually write those last.
ZippaThaRippa 07.31.13	At least your honest haha
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Yeah I have trouble writing leads sometimes. Rhythm work and riffing comes much more naturally to me
JustinKing 07.31.13	That's how I am. I have the ability to write a solo, but I always hate it with a passion. I like atmosphere or feel, not wank upon wank upon circlejerk.
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Yeah. All the solos I have are derived of technical exercises. And they are very short
MuhNamesTyler 07.31.13	1. Ibanez Sz720/ Takemine EF341sc 2. drop C(mostly)/ drop D/ standard 3. Anything really. I just like playing and putting together riffs and songs. My phone has approximately 2 million recordings
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Sweet. Yeah I have a lot of phone recording too haha
Cygnatti 07.31.13	get any album with a super loud bass and I will lurve it.
JustinKing 07.31.13	Also, since I do the clean vocals for my band, I usually just play the rhythm most of the time at shows until I get a better setup with some kind of looping system. I'm hoping to start buying some pedals soon.
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Have you thought about a modeler instead of a traditional amp and cab setup Justin?
JustinKing 07.31.13	All I have right now is a Marshall MG4. Honestly, I'm pretty damn broke most of the time. So all I can do for a while is just build on the setup I have now.
Feather 07.31.13	Ibanez rg350dx standard (wanna start playing more completely random at this point Just started back up with a new amp off craig's list :)
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	If I were you I'd save for a line 6 pod HD500, and get like a 12" PA monitor That's what I use and it rules hard
Feather 07.31.13	I got a line 6 spider 3 for real cheap on Craigs list. Does the job for me right now. also I didn't realize it was Chucky who made the list. Sup.
JustinKing 07.31.13	That's exactly what I was looking at getting in the future, actually.
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Awesome. You can get way better sounds out of that setup than an amp worth the same amount of money
DominionMM1 07.31.13	jackson dominion changes all the time all kinds
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Nice
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Dominions are cool
KotoFtw 07.31.13	1. Guitar/Drums 2. Standard/Drop D/DADABD/FACGCE/EflatStandard 3. Emo/Shoegaze/Indie Rock/Post-Hardcore/Punk/Mathrock
TheExodusAttack 07.31.13	Epiphone Prophecy Futura Custom EX Standard E Heavy and Thrash Metal
Dolving999 07.31.13	1. LTD EC100QM 2. Drop D/Standard E/ Drop C (depending on what songs I'm writting) 3. (not shitty) Metalcore/Mathcore/Post-Hardcore
ButteryBiscuitBass 07.31.13	1) Ibanez Ice Man 2) Standard 3) Jazz Fusion
ButteryBiscuitBass 07.31.13	1) The Buttery Biscuit (Fender copy P bass) 2) Standard 3) Funk
Dolving999 07.31.13	Chucky, how's the pod working for you? I'm kinda torn between getting an interface like the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 with Amplitube/Guitar Rig on PC vs getting something like what you have (although it would be a more affordable pod.) This setup would be just for recording home, mind you.
SitarHero 07.31.13	1). Sitar 2). Ma Sa Pa Sa Ri Ni Pa Ni Ma Re Ga Dha Dha Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni 3). Punk rock
ChuckyTruant 07.31.13	Haha awesome Sitar. And I love it Dolving. Very nice tones, easy to use. Light, portable, etc
bloc 08.01.13	Fender American Special Telecaster 3TB with Parchment pickguard (I love the classic Tele look). It's got a custom electronics harness and CS Nocaster '51 pickups. My guitar spends the majority of its time in standard tuning, since I like the brightness and spank you can get, but I'm not gonna like tuning down 1 and 2 steps is always fun and makes for some sweet bending intervals. I play mostly blues but with a lot of rock and jazz undertones.
ChuckyTruant 08.01.13	M/
jdennis31 08.01.13	Godin Montreal DADGBE/DADGbAD Indie rock? dunno how to label it Think you advised the Godin Montreal, it's a fucking sweet guitar. Sounds amazing and is the easiest thing I've ever played, though I'd prefer a wider neck.
jdennis31 08.01.13	graci hombre

NationalRadio 08.11.13	Fender Thinline Tele Standard / 1/2 step down / open C Ambient, post rock, prog, alternative
InbredJed 08.11.13	Cool, I just picked up a Mexican Tele. I need to replace the tuners, but other than that its a great instrument.
ZombicidalMan 08.11.13	G&L ASAT Bluesboy Classic Standard/Eb/Drop D/Drop C#/Drop B/Bb Standard/EBD#F#Be (Bon Iver uses this with a Capo on 4, it sounds great) Metal (sludge usually), dreampop, post-rock, whatever Boris is, alternative MIM Fenders are pretty great actually. I don't regret buying mine anyways
rockandmetaljunkie 08.11.13	1) I own two guitars: a black Fender Squier Stratocaster with a Seymour Duncan humbucker pickup and a black Gibson SG standard. 2) When playing the Squier, I prefer the standard tuning, but with the SG, I use baritone strings for ultra low tunings (the highest tuning I apply on my SG is the D tuning). 3) I use the Squier for various styles, mainly Rock and Blues and the SG for Metal and Doom Metal.
