[QUOTE=MRDuCran]Why don't you just play it like Alexi does, with the top wing on your right knee.[/QUOTE]


That's basically what I was doing.

The way he held his Wild Child Jackson in the HCDR licks video.

He doesn't use that guitar in that video.

He used it in Passage to the Reaper, and a green pinstripe in Reap N Roll licks.

Umm. I'll have to watch the videos again.

The black and yellow Jackson was his Wild Child one right? That was in PTTR.


Meh. The point I wanted to make was how he held the V guitar.

lol.

It's pretty much the only way to hold it, or it'll fall off or be practically unplayable.

Yeah, I always play in a classical like style, my style is basically like [URL="http://www.online-guitar-lesson-reviews.com/images/classical_guitar_position_lg.jpg"]this[/URL] and/or [URL="http://www.guitarprinciples.com/Guitar_Technique/Classic-Electric.jpg"]this[/URL].

I also just realized that I rarely ever play standing up. I've only done it like 4-5 times.

a while ago i posted in here saying i didnt really like CoB. well, that's changed. i saw a live video of them and thought they were awesome.

Good!

Excellent feel to it and sounds amazing.

PS: It has 24 frets. :thumb:

Please excuse the messy closet and sticker that hasn't been taken off the pickups yet.

and my typos

Nice guitar. How many do you own?

[QUOTE=blue3]Nice guitar. How many do you own?[/QUOTE]

Thanks.
Two.
How many guitars do you have?
That Ibanez and my piece of crap acoustic, which I havn't played in ages.

EDIT: Guitar Center took the Jackson back since they agreed on the Floyd Rose troubles and the excellent condition it was in.

I got 287 of 320 back on the Jackson and played this guitar after trying like ten guitars... and I fell in love with it.
haha. so touching.....

I'm also getting there on tuning by ear, though far away. I wanted to drop it down to D but the amps with tuners where taken so I just went by ear.

When I got home and tuned up, it was almost perfect. :smash:

Any ideas for songs to learn?

Dimmu Borgir or AYDY if anyone has a text tab for that.

I was considering buying that exact one...went with my Schecter instead, though. It's a very secksy piece of equipment.

And lawl @ the Avenged Sevenfold shirt in your closet :p

How's your Epiphone?

I've never played or cared about Les Paul's that much. The Epiphones I've played though had a nasty tone to them. It was very "fuzzy" and they felt slopppy. Well, except the Zakk Wylde sig, that was sexy.

I only have two guitars :(

One of which is an acoustic which is ruined.

nice guitars dude

i got an epiphone g-400, bc rich warlock and a yamaha acoustic.

at the end of the school year im gettn a new guitar and i want it to be either a jackson or ibanez. which one do you think i should get and what model?

I hate the look of rosewood fretboards now, ever since I got my maple neck Ibanez Rg700 and started my ESP SV obssession which has a ebony board, that's all I like.

is the ESP one you have the same one alexi from CoB has?

i just found out CoB is playing aniheim (how ever you spell it) and i live in LA. theyre playing on the 10th but the only problem is that the 10th is the day i get back from my spring break and theres no way my parents will let me go!!!

I don't have an ESP. That guitar in the picture is an Ibanez. For the record.

Alexi has an ESP which is the same color though. If that's what you're thinking of.

Well, I'd reccomend against Floyd Rose Tremelo. Unless you do non stop divebar action. It takes years to string the guitar, tune and it's not worth the trouble. Plus makes it difficult to go between tunings.

Example, with this Ibanez. It stays in tune just fine. But since there's no FR locking down the strings. I can go between EADGBE, DGCFAD, DADGBE or BFBEGD in about 20 seconds.

By the way, on espguitars.com or w/e it is. You can look at Alexi laiho's sig ESP. It's 4000 bucks, if you were wondering. Way overpriced for what it is.

thanks for the info

about the esp, i was talking to mrducran. i know those were ibanez in your pix lol

He was quoting me btw. (too late) And no, I don't even have an ESP SV, I just like them alot. Alexi's model (RV) is a modified SV.

Floyds don't take years to re-string or tune. I can put my whole guitar in F (Meshuggah tuning) in 2 mins, it's just your technique tbh, just gotta know what to do.

holy shiit i cant get over their song sixpounder. its addicting!!!

yay i see bodom in 2 days

there playing in four days in the OC but i cant make it cuz im in LA and i have school for the first time since break...you lucky bastard

So what's your favourite song/album so far?? @Hail True Metal, btw.

And what have you heard.

[QUOTE=HAIL TRUE METAL]holy shiit i cant get over their song sixpounder. its addicting!!![/QUOTE]


I play Sixpounder (minus the solos). I need to get my arse in gear and learn the first solo. I'm not touching the second one though. :p

I'm going to learn Slayer- Silent Scream & Dimmu Borgir-Allehelgens Dod I Helveds Rike.... Infact I did choose another DB song. There's no way around learning this song. It's catchy and brutal.
Man.... Funny story from guitar center.

There was this troop of kidiots. All of em were like 13 or 12. One of them was playing lame, simple and beyond easy riffs while the others were saying things like, "omg dude keep going, keep going man" etc etc. I felt like I was listening to a pr0n flick or something lol. So I moved over to the line 6 amps which were right next to those kidiots..... Then I proceeded to turn the amp plenty loud, then played Nile- Lashed To The Slave, prolly the best I've ever played it. It was up to speed and the string skipping was done perfect. One of the kidiots noticed and looked shell shocked. It was rather funny. I didn't say anything, I just let my playing speak. They shut up really fast, I had a good lol.

Thought I'd share.

great, so by being annoyed at the stereotypical guitar shop kids, you proceeded to become the next stereotype

congratulations
