i know for different techniques, the metronome would be all over the place, and i just dont like having the hassle, or feeling CONFINED to those damn numbers on that little thing :lol:

[QUOTE=Che Guevara]hey thanks man. This is seriously the ONLY reason i visit MX nowadays. I find the more i try to convey what ive learned for myself, in words, the more it makes sense. I feel i learn as well when i pass on knowledge, if that makes sense[/QUOTE]


I get that. You really have to know "fill in the blank" if you're going to explain it in words to someone

i have a belief that any of the current GOOD guitarists just suck at putting what they do in words. Im trying to help bridge that gap, for me, and for others.

maybe you should write a book and sell it ?!

[QUOTE=repcak]maybe you should write a book and sell it ?![/QUOTE]


honestly, thats what i aim to do someday :D


the problem is, you really need some sort of paper for people to take you seriously. I would want to do a video, explaining common problems, and EXACTLY what needs to be done to overcome them. My problem is, since i started guitar SO late, im constantly trying to play catch up. Catch up to who? No one in particular id say. I have a constant belief that I suck, and i really see no reason to compare myself, or ability, to others. Guitar, for me, is really an internal struggle of where i want to be, where i am now, and figuring out how to bridge that gap.

Most instructional videos ive found, rarely offer any insight on how to do this. If anything, they might provide a few exercises that help you get out of your comfort range, but that really isnt that ground breaking IMO

Dylan, BMM tonight?

yeah, thats true... most videos i've seen on the internet couldn't explain me how to sweep pick or to pinch harmonics...

... do you know a good guitar-book i could buy? once a friend recommended me: guitar heroes - by milan polak. do you know this book?

never heard of it tbh. I only use guitar books as reference for exercises that i wouldnt be able to consider on my own. I think rusty cooley and troy stentina eclipse just about anyone in the industry, it terms of quality

could you explain that book briefly? The one you were mentioning



i actually have about 500-1000 worth of reference material that ive archived if you are interested in any

i never bought this book, and never looked inside, but as far as i know the techniques of malmsteen, vai, satch, etc. are explained... technique book.

Honestly, i wear an extra large, But this....wasnt one...It had to be a misprint

My opeth fits perfect and came from same company\




ANYWAY, It kicks ***. Big reaper on the back in red \m/

when you buy tshirts from bands: they don't take it exactly with the sizes. i bought a medium NIN shirt and it fits perfect, i bought a medium Sunn O))) shirt and its a little bit too small...
it really depends on the company

I have the same thing. It only comes in one size though, and I'm a small guy. It's about a size too big. :(

How long has it been since I've been here? I just heard the brand new Shadows Fall song, so my night will at least have something new to it.

Got a link?

EDIT: Listening. Not caring much for it so far.

I like it, but I'm a litt unnerved by the fact that they haven't really progressed at all since The War Within. I'll still get Fallout anyway.

Yeah, I only like pre The War Within, but i'll still probably buy/download this to see if it's any good.

I'm really excoted about the old songs being re-done though. That is guaranteed to kick a[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE]s. I love the twin melody in the new one too, though. I'm incredibly relieved that the rumor about the new, simplistic Shadows Fall is officially disproved as well.

I'm also loving the production. The bass is extra crunchy and Jason's drumming is absolutely brutal.

linkage?

Go to Google and search Shadows Fall, then go to their site. It plays there.

not bad but i still have a thing against the vocals, i cant seem to get used to them.

Yeah, i'm not a big fan of his vocals at all, but the old stuff is pretty great.

His OOB vocals were completely different.
