[QUOTE=metal guitar][URL="http://www.last.fm/user/MetalGuitar/"]My last.fm thing[/URL]

That's a pretty good picture of what I listen to, except it doesn't take the length of tracks into accout. For example, I could listen to Bach's Goldberg variations which consist of 32 pieces for piano of duration about 50 mins. I could then listen to Beethoven's Symphony No.3, also about 50 mins but it would only register 4 plays. So you can see its not perfect.[/QUOTE]

That happens with a lot with non-classical stuff as well, so yeah, I think many of us know how annoying it can be.

the2stranger 12-03-2005 08:00 AM

Lastfm doesn't like (neo)classical or progressive stuff :p

np: AgeOf Silence - Mr M, Man Of Muzak

I can't last.fm to download. Whenever the Audioscrobbler thing starts downloading, it says "Please close iTunes and try again." But iTunes is already closed. :confused:

It's probably running without you noticing then.

I think I'm gonna go to a music store, look at some guitars. Just for fun.

I'm envious. I wish there was a music store around me.

That reminds me, my guitar desperately needs new strings.

I have this local one that I buy all my strings from..But when I go try out guitars, which I will do soon, I go a little further in Montreal. A bigger store with lots of stuff.

I usualy use 10 - 46, but Im in E flat a lot so my bro told me to try out 11 - 48's.

Shadows 12-03-2005 09:47 AM

I use .11-.48 all the time. Most of the music I play is tuned rather low and I hate the feel of light trings downtuned. It does make playing in standard a little tough though.

Oh, thats what I didnt want happening, standard being to tight. When I play in E flat with regular gauge and my bro thinks its loose as hell but Im okay with it.

But Il try them out and see which I like most..

Shadows 12-03-2005 09:53 AM

For E flat I say stick with the .10's. Those are good until you start tuning into C or anything lower. Using .11's when you tune that high isn't [I]too[/I] tight, but it gets pretty difficult when you try to bend strings.

Ah ok. I never go lower then E flat. Unless I go and have fun playing along with some Arch Enemy, Which is sometihng I havnt done in a while.

Toaster 12-03-2005 10:10 AM

I use .60s on my one guitar, tuned drop-D down to A. (I dubbed it Nile Guitar) :D

Shadows 12-03-2005 10:15 AM

:confused: .60's? Your high E is nearly twice as heavy as a standard size low E?

Yea like when I listen to an hour of Pink Floyd and I get 6 or 7 songs, but an hour of Beatles songs could be like 20. It kinda messes it up, but whatever.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]:confused: .60's? Your high E is nearly twice as heavy as a standard size low E?[/QUOTE]

:lol: .13 - .60

I think you know what I meant.

I just got back from the supermarket.
My storageof beer for this weekend is cooling down to nice tempratures now :)

That's what I thought you meant. Usually the guage is signified by the high E string. I'd like to get myswlf something that heavy anyway, as me and a friend would like to start a grind project.

the2stranger 12-03-2005 11:21 AM

ugh
thus guitar talk is keeping people away from posting

I'm eating onion soupe right now, people will be crying tonight if I bring them Beethoven 5 th symphony via the anal orchestra :lol:

I think you should post a recording.

Damn, do I love Behemoth.

Aw, son of a bitch. Someone just outbid me, close to the line, on a Wildhearts/Clawfinger 7". Da[font=verdana]m[/font]n :(

that's why iI hate online bidding sites, it's not about who bids the most, but about who has the quickest browser, so that they can outbid you for a few cents on the last seconds of the auction :angry:

Shadows 12-03-2005 11:55 AM

At least I was able to score my Shadows Fall vinyl on there. :cool:

Yep, my parents had words with me about that afterwards.

Well, if you bid £20 more than they can afford to pay, then it doesn't really matter how fast their browser is. I know what you mean, though.

Why? Bid without their permission, or something? Or bid far, far too much?


I've gotten plenty of stuff - mostly Wildhearts related, I think - from eBay, anyway. Being outbid at the last second is always annoying, though.

I'm going to set up my E-bay account in a few days, I could never be bothered beofre.

I really want this Dream Theater Bootleg I saw...
