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

wow... that suck. only the tickets for the NIN concert were sold out in minutes, but the tool tickets are for sale since 3weeks!! strange.... i can ask my mum to pay it, cause my birthday is on 16.11 and tool is playing on 19.11 :p

Hey, everyone check out my new band Northern Cross, we have a 1 minute preview of our first song. It's Melodic Death/Symphonic Black/Power Metal it's quite interesting (although you can't hear all that in just this 1 min preview).

Copy the link into your url bar, mx is being gay.

It's something to do with YSI, I tried both methods.

When I'm here at MX and I copy the link it doesn't work, but if i do it on google it does, it has something to do with MX.

psssshhh! He doesn't like the pirates

I still couldn't get it to work.

Did anyone know that Roope's is called dick? because I was burning Suicide By My Side on Windows Media Player and it showed who did the songs and it would show Kim and Alexi and Marco but then it said Dick Latvala...

Also does anyone know why computers start to go really slow after A while? because last week my computer was running pretty fast, but this week it takes 10 min for rhapsody to load up...if it even does that. games are taking longer...downloads are taking longer. IT'S GOING AS SLOW AS A FRIGGEN IBM. or sometimes **** would load up at all...

Works for everyone I send it to on AIM.

Just go to the myspace. [url]www.myspace.com/northerncrossmetal[/url]

Ok I listened. Not my thing but it was done well.

What do you play in it?

I love blaring Children Of Decadence in the parking lot when I leave work, that intro is awesome!

Those leads do rule. \m/

The whole song is awesome, especially Alexi's vocals during the middle of it.

It gets boring for me. It sounds like something Wintersun would rip off.
