That weirds me out. I have been on an instrumental/jazz binge lately. I haven't listened to music with words for I think 2 or 3 days.

I like Rise Against.
I just got there new CD an hour ago and it kicks.

Yes it does. It's one of my favorite albums ever.

It isn't nearly as good as RPM

They are equal in my opinion.

RPM is what i was gonna order but the guys was all like is it "siren sound of...."
and i said no and no then he ordered it anyway so i said what the hell who cares

[QUOTE=El_Shizzy]They are equal in my opinion.[/QUOTE]

the whole band is just awesome

Ok my thread isnt working....
is the band THE FIGHT good?
cause i might go to one of their shows is it worth it?

RPM doesn't have the weaker songs that Siren Song of the Counter Culture. What songs you ask? Destionation Anywhere but here and Paper Wings. RPM also has more really excellent songs.

got a point there

I think both of those songs are pretty strong really. Destination Anywhere is amazing in my opinion.

Anyone know any good sites to get some old school cds? All the punk stuff around here is on vinyl and i dont have a record player, i guess amazon is a good site but a lot of it is used and dont want to deal with returning it.

I almost always use [url]www.interpunk.com[/url]

Stray Cat Strut. It's a good challenge, intresting chords.

How long have you been playing?

Whats the bassline? I'll play it while you do the guitar part.

[QUOTE=El_Shizzy]How long have you been playing?[/QUOTE]

2 years.

At about the end of my second year, I gave up lessons. But then I pretty much gave up on my own. I didn't pick my guitar up until a year after quitting. Then I was like back at step one. So, I'm still technically one year teaching myself.

I don't consider myself that good, but I got an arsenal of original hardcore and pop-punk tunes that are quite catchy. Now I just gotta find a good singer to record these with.

I'm not actually very good, except with punk. I love power chords, and I'll use them whenever I can now, because I'm lazy and have too fat of fingers for all these complex chords. I gave up a bit in my first year, but I rekindled my love when I started playing while on the computer and now that I can play in school (open insturment), I pick up stuff faster and enjoy playing a lot more. Most times I rather play my own stuff instead of other people's. Just learn it to show people I can play and learn some new techniques.

I've been teaching myself for about a year. I suck :(

**at bass.

I've been teaching myself guitar for about 2 months. I really suck.

Great site thanks.

I wanted to pick up bass, still kinda do because I just want to play ska bass lines.

I'm supposed to be in a ska band with some friends, but we can't find a drummer. It'll be awesome if it works out.

Playing on the computer is what got me to keep at it. I love power chords too. I can play other barre chords and whatnot, but I generally don't like to.

Anarcho Poser, here's what I did to get better. I took a song with techniques in it I couldn't do and just beat that song to death until I finally got it. It took me a while, but when you can finally play it fluently, it feels so good. I'm still not your raging solo rocker, but I don't really want to be. :)

I must give a few bands credit for guitar and that would be Green Day for inspiring me to pick it up again. And AFI for teaching me new methods, techniques, chords, etc.

I play ska bass. I taught myself bass and although i'm decent, I know i can be so much better. It's funny. You start thinking you're getting good and then suddenly you realize how much you don't really know. This has happened to me so many times.

The Ramones made me actually think I can play. When a 1st year student tries to play Zep, it's kind of discouraging. Dick Dale got me really into intrique techniques, and a little bit of improv.

Yeah the ramones did that for me too. I played along to all their songs, but ska bass is what really got me working. It's nice, I put in Keasbey nights or streetlight manifesto and I can just play all their songs. Or I put in a Against All Authority or Op Ivy CD and I have all their basslines down.

I dunno, I'm not too bad technically, it's just.... I'm slow at learning songs, and I don't know very many.

im currently attempting to start a band

Move to Florida and sing for me baby.

My band had our first gig the other night, great fun.
