[QUOTE=Perhaps Crickets;13497340]For a late comment on Alexi's lyrics:

Yeah, I like Needled 24/7 lyrically quite a bit. I think the whole Bodom Beach Killings thing is really neat. He took something from his surroundings and kept with it throughout their rise to fame.[/QUOTE]

Yeah but after a certain amount of time the Bodom Beach theme will be become very boring and repetetive, and already somewhat is. I find that alot of Alexi's lyrics dealing with the Bodom Beach killings are actually pretty disappointing. The only ones I really like are Bodom After Midnight and SNBN. Bodom Beach Terror is a fairly disappointing song all together.

Michael Romeo > Alexi > Yngwie > Batio

woah I load up the page and whole new interface....

hey can you guys + rep me that red block is annoying.

Maybe it's because Alexi is a guitarist first, songwriter second :p Just making a guesstimation.

YAY! green

i...must have missed the reference (if there is one) to something...

Ok im lost...what?

let us just forget what happened in the past few posts.

You get Beatcraft sorted out yet?

So I came up with this cool riff just now, and I think it's a good lick to warm up with.

It helps me with my alternate picking and finger independence (mostly between ring and pinkie).

Sounds like it could be a classical piece if you expanded on it. Especially that bit where it goes to the A string.

i love the 12 position

[QUOTE=ghettoeddo;13498531]i love the 12 position[/QUOTE]

Me too. The frets are the perfect size for my fingers for lead stuff. I tried to learn the Passage To The Reaper Vivaldi thing, but the frets from 19 - 22 are so hard for me to play accurately. I guess I'm just not used to playing so high up on the fretboard.

higher frets dont bother me so much as playing on the lower strings :\ you gotta reach around and that interferes w/ my fingering

So does anyone have the Bodom DVD? Thoughts?

no.

i think i will re-learn my picking technique and will start to pick alternate... @kurrpt2: do you pick EVERYTHING alternate or do you make sometimes economy picking?

i only will economy pick one note per string runs, and only when i feel they should be swept (like a lot of alexi licks). I find that alternate picking those 1 note per string runs is extremely difficult to do perfect with any kind of speed, so i will often practice it that way, even if its supposed to be alt picked.

If I'm playing chords, it's really a toss up. I will try it with all downstrokes, and get that perfect. Then I go back, and alternate pick/strum the chords, and see if I like the feel better, or if the chord sounds better. I like to practice both methods because I feel it makes me more rounded

i alternate pick everything as wel...in fact it's hard for me to play consistent downpick in songs like MoP so i just alternate it.

i cant sweep :(

eh, its no big deal really. The majority of the people on this forum, or any forum can't sweep correctly.

It took me forever to be able to sweep triplets at 175 bpm
