Alright guys, pretty soon i'm plugging my guitar into the amp, which may override everyone in the world with "amazingness" you may want to check into a local bomb shelter to be safe.

:)

Are you going to use a backing track, or some sort of click so we can tell you're actually playing 3 notes per beat as opposed to just randomly picking?

I figured i'd just play the main guitar part and let you guys decifer it :-|

Do have a good backing track for it?

I have a drum track that I made in Beatcraft...?

Hook a brotha up?

i'm anxious about your amp :p

max fappage ftw

Where is he then?

He didn't show up.

Hmm.

What amp does he have?

Hell if I know...

I guess those triplets maybe just tripped him up.

/lame

Who knows, we'll find out when he returns.

My point still stands though, most people don't actually play the triplets.

I do. But not full speed. Prolly like, 160ish or a bit higher.

Depends on if I'm even practicing. haha

Well I can do it too but I really focus on accenting alot. It's very important when you're playing at high speeds and it helps actually play fast too.

triplets at 160, shizz, even i can do that.


I just use dynamics to accentuate the down beat.

The song's at 220.

I usually accent beats 2 & 4 with upstrokes.

i like this band from what i have heard of them but i gotta say i don't listen to them that often.

haha i usually do it the opposite.

I can't stay clean at that speed. My sweeps are getting there, but its nothing to brag about at this point.

I JUST fixed my Krank amp yesterday when i took off :D

Well you should.

It's only one note so it's kinda easy to do, but if it was something alternate picked, it'd be much harder obviously, at least for me. I don't practise sweeps anymore.

the sad thing is about my picking is that I trem pick as fast as I alternate pick. There's no gap between them, if you know what I mean.

I've been working on all right hand things lately

Yeah I know what you mean, but I wouldn't really worry about that, as long as whatever you're picking is accurate it's cool.

i dont really like the speed im stuck at right now, so im trying to get the most out of my practice sessions so i can move on.

I try not to think about speed, or what the metronome is saying, but when you set it at the same speed for a week, it kinda blows

Yeah I'm kinda stuck too. But I think it's just because I don't warm up and go through a proper practise routine, I just pick up and play, stick the metronome on and then usually get distracted. Last night was great though, I sounded like Paul Gilbert at times but then it started to wear of cause I was super tired.

yea, thats usually from a lack of focus. I try to understand where I need to improve, or more importantly, what exactly am I doing wrong, how to do it correctly, then bridge that gap

I should do that too but it never really crosses my mind.

It's really all I ever do. It seems fruitless at times, since you aren't constantly learning "new songs or ideas", but essentially, it's what makes your playing better all around.

Sometimes, for me, the hardest part is learning how to do it correctly. I'll know that im doing a certain technique wrong, but wont know exactly how to fix it. A lot of my time is spent doing trial and error. I come up with possible solutions, and test them out. Its really a journey to finding the BEST way to do something

Tbh, I think I'm past that. I can pretty much do anything slow, it's just actually getting stuff to full speed that I need to work on. I think I could do it for most stuff in a year if I practise more and sit at the computer less.

Eh, you'll always reach a point where you think you have stopped progressing. Im just saying the thought process I use to overcome that particular hurdle, and get to the next one

i haven't practised for weeks... i just play around and come up with some fun riffs/licks/etc.

i should start practising again and do my picking exercises :p



i just was sitting in the sun (for the first time in this summer) reading my daily newspaper and suddenly i saw the headline: tool in vienna on 19.11. tickets can be bought since 19.7. .. and i: :eek: since three weeks i don't know anything?!
run up the stairs to the computer, checked it and yes, tool play indeed in vienna but the tickets are NOT sold out :confused: and cost 40Euros!!! when i wait one more week, i can get them for 1-2euro less, ... hm, when the tickets weren't sold out in 3weeks, they won't be sold out in one week i hope ....

After i got screwed out of seeing TOoL in Philly last year, me desire to see them live went WAY down-hill :upset:

why this?

i had two times the occasion to see tool now... novarock in june -> but i had exams and university, so no time and 100euros only to see tool at a festival?! no... too much.
and then i friend wanted to sell his tickets for the tool concert in prague one week later; tickets 30€ + train to prague (4h in one direction) the last train back was at midnight and when i don't catch it i had to wait till 6am for the next...

but now they are playing in my CITY :D

Apparently you had to buy tickets online. All their tickets for every event went on sale at the same time. I made sure to wake up extra early, and went to a friends house who had high speed to purchase the tickets. I was on the site 40 minutes before they went on sale. Right when the went on sale, it kept bumping me out of the cue, and even though i was there with plenty of time, i wound up getting nothing.

I then saw tickets were going 100-200 on ebay, and it really made me re-think how important it was for me to see them live (been a fan since 96' and still havent seen them)

I realized i would rather see bands like Nevermore and CoB, and tickets for them would be MUCH cheaper
