Jackson RR5 :)[/QUOTE]
I love those so much.
I tried to trade my Ibanez RG with my mate for his. He's not stupid though.

Jackson = splooge.

So I recorded a little more with the band and saw V for Vendetta last night. Great movie.

Oh yes, this thing is great. Plays like nothing I've ever felt. I've become a Jackson fanboy. It kind of pisses me off that 2006 DKMG's are coming with EMG 81/85 combos now. Mine may already have that though...I'm not completely sure.

Hey everyone

Ok so I'm an HS junior and some of you are probably going through this college search thing. I've been looking into different schools with good majors in Music and even Schools of Music. I'm curious if you guys have any suggestions (besides the obvious Juilliard).

Also, I was looking up Carnegie Mellon's School of Music and they want an "3. An etude or equivalent technical exercise. " What exactly is that?



/to be a little on topic, I hate Jacksons... or at least the one I have.

I'm in the same situation.

Except I'm not a fool, ie I don't don't hate Jacksons. :p

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't hate Jacksons if I didn't have a Floyd Rose.

So anyways, college suggestions? I've gotten letters from Moravian, Oberlin, and some others.

I understand.

I'm looking at a wide variety of colleges for music, but I'm not looking for anything extremely prestigious. Just something nice with a respectable music program. Palm Beach Atlantic University is my first choice at this point, as the place looks like paradise and I've had multiple recommendations from people saying it's a great place for music. DePaul University has a good music program, as does Bucknell, and there's always the obvious Julliard/Berklee etc.

I'm really only familiar with places closer to my home though, so I can't really give you the best overall recommendation.

Yea, I've been looking into littler places in Penn. and Ohio and then bigger famous places that are probably impossible for me (unless of course somewhere online they have Juilliards' audition pieces). I've been pretty interested in Carnegie Mellon but I don't know if I've got the grades so I'm going to try and get into their music school (admissions is based mostly off audition). But so yea, what's an etude?

Juliard is impossible to get into, you have to be on top of everyone else. Berklee isn't as hard as long as you have money. Berklee is more about money but they have a really good music program and that's how everyone is so good.

An etude is simply a piece of music that focuses on the display or development of a specific technique. So an etude or equivalent exercise would probably be a song or exercise that highlights a specific technique of playing.

wow, the thread randomly died. must have been the college discussion :p

Or the music one...

AN etude is a classical guitar study. They are songs that are focus on a certain technique. If you are goign to school for guitar you should look for a renowned guitarist and not necessarily the school because its really all about who you studied with. I suggest takking a look at UCLA. They have four guitar Professor there one of them composed Sunburst.

the college at the uni i'm going to if i get the grades has a recording studio :cool: its not even a music college.

NP: Iced Earth - Consequences.
i love this song.

Anyone else have the urge to spam the Alice in Chains thread with numerous "Grunge is for fags" comments?

There is a place at school called a CLC, which is awesome for creating music and films.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Anyone else have the urge to spam the Alice in Chains thread with numerous "Grunge is for fags" comments?[/QUOTE]
no. but i feel like spamming here with "Ollie is gay" comments :p.
anyhow, i'm off to play CoD for a bit, later. :wave:

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Anyone else have the urge to spam the Alice in Chains thread with numerous "Grunge is for fags" comments?[/QUOTE]
Not really.

No, because I enjoy me some AiC.

I don't like Grunge.

Me neither. Don't like Indie much either.

rock & metal ftw. although i also enjoy me some punk, pop-punk, pop, classical, jazz, folk, reggae, and very very very occasionally some dance & rap / RnB.

I pretty much dislike every other genre than Rock N; Metal, and their various Off -shoots.


Np - Slayer, Raining Blood.
