exactly...

I phased out 98% of my video game playing as well, which helps me to stay focused. All I do is smoke cigarettes and play guitar. It should REALLY pay off dividends in about a year or two

Videogames have never been a problem for me. Yesterday was the first time i've played a videogame anywhere for well over six months.

i play Nintendo DS every now and again. My PSP sucks with no online connection

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 12:14 PM

I tried Nintendo DS once. I was horrible. That little pad that you can use the stick to control with is impossible to use.

AA-12 06-09-2006 12:15 PM

I mainly just play World of Warcraft now. Other games come and go.

my girl was pretty bad with, but got better over time.


You should REALLY see a game of Meteos being played :lol:

I'm thinking I might take a look at WoW and see just how cool of a game it really is.

hah

Anyway, about CoB..

I'm learning Children of Decadence as we speak.

kurrpt 06-09-2006 12:20 PM

i really cant get into the games where it takes 300+ hours to be hXn/1337s

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 12:24 PM

Yeah the game I was playing yesterday was the new Lord Of the Rings RPG. Me and my friend played it for six hours and didn't even get out of the Mines of Moria.
It was intense.

Eh, it doesn't. (assuming you mean WoW)

I was learning Silent Night, Bodom Night earlier.

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 12:26 PM

I like how CoB have either 'Children' or 'Bodom' in 60% of their song titles.

AA-12 06-09-2006 12:30 PM

Haha, yeah.

kurrpt 06-09-2006 12:31 PM

im still geting bed of razors "perfect". Most sections are "good", but now like they should sound in my head.


I worked on the a ton of Nevermore sweeps for about 2 hours last night. Its a little obsessive like that


obviously, there was some exageration involved, but really, with games like FF5058485409 or Everquest, its not out of the ordinary

Time flies when your playing guitar. I'll look at the clock one minute, then look back fifteen minutes later and it's been three hours.

i was doing that while going through "Steve Vai's 30 hour workout"

obviously, i realize its not the exercises, but the focus involved, but some were a different approach than im used to, which makes it perfect

I think i might go the egg timer route, and set it at 30 minute intervals, and break my "workout" into 8 sections, or 4 hours a day.

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 12:38 PM

That's a good idea. I think i'd probobly be to ADD for anything like that.

kurrpt 06-09-2006 12:40 PM

nah, its actually stops me from going ADD from it. If i really get into an exercise, theres really no stop to how long you can practice to get it "perfect"


this way, you really just focus, and when the timer goes off, <DING> next topic/exercise

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 12:43 PM

hmm. I'll have to try a timer.

kurrpt 06-09-2006 12:44 PM

i want to become more organized with my routine, instead of flying by the seat of my pants. I think it would help me to focus even more, and make it more regimented, which would allow me to become a more rounded musician, in theory

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 12:53 PM

I'm sure having a schedule to follow would be a lot better than just playing for various amounts of times at random intervals/times of the day.

kurrpt 06-09-2006 12:55 PM

i didnt want to do that at first, for some unknown reason. The more I REALLY think about it, the more it seems logical

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 01:01 PM

It's like working out your body. You don't wanna just jump in there and do fifty bench presses by themselves, and it doesn't do anything to do five; then do thirty an hour later. You have to pace everything out.

AA-12 06-09-2006 01:01 PM

/keeps his random jamming guitar playing schedule :p

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 01:02 PM

haha. I probobly will too, because i'm such a procrastinator.

kurrpt 06-09-2006 01:03 PM

thats fine man. Im constantly trying to get the most of out of my time, considering it is limite

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 01:06 PM

It would probobly be a little easier for me considering i'm on summer break, and I don't have a full-time job.

kurrpt 06-09-2006 01:19 PM

man, i would pay MONEY to be back there :lol:

here comes the bird flu 06-09-2006 01:22 PM

hah I know i'm dreading having to get a job. I hope on everything holy I am a musician.

Thor 06-09-2006 01:31 PM

Anyone else think that the intro riff to Next In Line is totally ****ing awesome? I do.
