Is there anyone who knows how to play Black Diamond (Stratovarious) on drums? Im tryin to make a cover and im doing all the keyboards (except the solo too beyond my abilities) but I dont know any drummers. my friend from the guitar comps gonna do the guitars and I got someone who can do bass but I don't know about a drummer.

EDIT: nm we kinda need vocals too so I can scratch that one out...I don't know anyone who can sing like Timo around here so this covers gonna be a little pointless :p.

On the subject of Stratovarius I learned Speed of Light in it's entirety this week. I should laern Black Diamond now.

Looks good. Not a fan of the one pickup though. It also needs one more string :p

My guitar only has one pickup, I kinda like the sound of a bridge pickup on leads.

..and I'm too poor to get another EMG :lol:

Looks good.

You'll have to record it for us sometime.

One question, how easy is it to hit that 24th fret high E string??

Compare it with a super-strat (Ibanez Rg etc)

I want to know whether to get a V some time in my life but if it's a bitch getting up that high, I won't.

It's hard enough getting that high on my Kelly.

Are EMGs really as good as people say? I'm thinking of getting two 7 string EMGs to swap out my Duncans in my BlackJack. Good idea?

I've never tried anything else in a guitar like mine to compare them. I can tell you that you get an extra 10-20% more gain over the stock pickups, and they sound great. I'm not sure how they are compared to other high level pickups like Duncans.

I see. How are the leads? I'm looking for something with really smooth and clear leads for solos and whatnot. Think power metal leads.

It is great for stuff like that, very smooth sounding while maintaining a nice crunch.

The 2nd solo is mine, using a Podxt and a Jackson KE-3 with an EMG 85, ignore the tone on the first solo that's my other guitarist.

My version of Eruption is on there, once again the Jackson and Podxt.

Ah right. That's a 22 fretter and looks like it has a nice cut away, the RV's don't and have 24 frets, I'd probably hate them.

Alexi looks like he has trouble hitting those high frets too, like that end bit on the solo to Bodom Beach Terror.

My guitar has 24 frets...

Sounds great man, i'll probably end up getting them :)

Yeah, both my accounts. I'm Charming and TEST

I posted some nasty flash files in community thread and now I've gotten my posting quality in order.

@ that guitar guy. Nice. I wouldn't want that guitar, but it looks very good.

/ESP owners unite

[QUOTE=IheartSP]My guitar has 24 frets...[/QUOTE]

Oh right, I just looked at a pic of one and thought it had 22, my bad.

It's easy to hit the high 24th. I don't know if it's the lack of a neck p'up or what, but the pinch harmonics are so much cleaner and easier to find the sweet spots. In any case if I have the need to use a bridge pickup, I'll whip out the old RR3.

I've been on here quite a while, since last early fall.

Page 1241, 1243, 1248. Page 1241 shows you how long it's been since I have been here.

I remember posting on how excited I was to see COB in Ybor City, FL last Dec.

Twist and shout!!!

I laughed so hard when they did that back in December.

No. It's this other one.

They came to Twist and Shout when I saw them last fall on their AYDY tour.

In their their set at the Slayer show. They came out to this thing,

Hell. I'll upload it.


edit:

Note about uploading and rules: This 1 single track. I don't even know who did it, it's just an album/song tags.

That's the music they used in 2002 when they were touring HCDR.

You have that video where they play 4 songs and they come out to this starting 0:58-1:14

I've always liked that one.

^^ The one I posted, that kicks ***.

Indeed it does...

BUT

The Tokyo Warhearts intro kicks even more as[size=2]s[/size].

I like it so much I even learnt it on keyboard at college.

Then played it every chance I got over and over and annoyed everyone.

Jan Hammer ftw as I stated before.

Bed time.

Night man. I don't play keys and havn't really wanted to. I'd be good since I've got really fast hands and firm grip.

I dno if it's about speed, more about co-ordination. Same with guitar, a billion kids in youtube can pick as fast as possible and wiggle their fingers but only like 1% of them actually sound good, and that's not including pros.
