Yeah WholeNote usually has some good lessons and shtuff.

Ben: Right on! Finally got a band goin' eh? How are the rest of the musicians?

[QUOTE=Happy]Nice. What did you get?[/QUOTE]
Jackson RR5 :cool: It's not 100% yet though. I found a few of them around different stores online for insane prices, I just have to confirm it.

Yeah man, it's about damn time. The bassist is much better than I thought he would be and should be able to handle most anything we throw at him. The guy I'm going to call for second guitar is great too. The only drawback is our drummer, who is still brand new to playing. He can handle simple stuff even though he seems to have decent speed already.

Still, I'm psyched. :)

Well about the drummer, here's something to get your hopes up. Tim, our drummer, has only been playing for over a year now. But he is insanely coordinated, talented and can play double bass like no other...it's insane. Maybe your drummer will get to his level of playing as quick as Tim did.

I hope so. I was really impressed for some who had only been playing 6 months, and he plays every day, so he'll definitely improve. With some work he should have no problem with the stuff we're going to do.

Awesome, I don't own an RR5, but my mate does and I borrowed it for a gig. Brilliant guitar, plays like a dream.

When my band first started we were all pretty new to playing. The second guitarist was awful and played things slower than the rest of the band and the drummer had trouble keeping simple beats. Over time we got rid of the drummer and second guitarist and got a new drummer who kicks major anus. We now have a singer too and are now a metal/wannabe power metal band.

That is fricken' sweet man. Word of advice, don't get stuck in the rut of doing shows with a bunch of covers. Write your own bitchin' material and hammer it out, knock soem people on their feet!

EDIT: that was to ben :-/

Too slow Trev :-P

It's been a long time since I've been in the R&M forum...been spending my time in the bass forum. Anyway, just tonight I've gotten into Atreyu. What songs would anyone reccommend to download. I think I heard one of my friends say that their singer damaged his vocal chords screaming, so he doesn't do it as much anymore. It might have been a different singer (different band of course), not sure. But if it is the right guy, I prefer the not screaming music. Thanks everyone.

EDIT:Nevermind, I didn't know there was a reccomendation thread, it's been a while...

NP: The solo to Cowboys from Hell on my guitar. Because it's so fun to play dammit.

Symphony/really long song timecheck: 8 Minutes 8 seconds. Only 52 minutes left to write. copy&paste FTW.

I really hate you :p

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]I really hate you :p[/QUOTE]
Wait for the having 8 minutes or for writing an hour long song?

Update: 11 mins 43 seconds

I'm not sure why you would write a one hour long song just to write a one hour long song.

Boredom maybe?

NP: Sentenced - Dead Moon Rising

[QUOTE=ICB]Boredom maybe?

[/QUOTE]
Kinda. I asked my mate if I could write an entire album based on one riff. He said "Beethoven did it" then after a little bit of explaining/arguing I was challenged to write a symphony/really long song in E minor/G Major based on the CBAG Chords.

13:35 so far. I'm gonna go to bed and do some more tomorrow.

Wait! HAPPY!!!!

You're girlfriend takes things to seriously.

My solution: put it in her ear.

French Omlette style?

I am writing a review for Disco Volante right now, what is everybody else doing.

No she doesn't. She knows Ben jokes all the time like that.

Your solutions always = crap.

...So I was balls-deep in this guy's a[SIZE="2"]ss[/SIZE] and I go for the reach-around and he has a hard on. How gay is that?


/breaks the ice.

My friend said that at this party we were at once when we were around a couple kids we didn't know and it was awkwardly quiet before he said it.
