I haven't started recording because i haven't bothered to get off my a** and do it yet...

[QUOTE=gocaps99]I'm a guitarist, and I record a lot. :D[/QUOTE]
I wish you recorded more :angry:
You're pretty good imo.

What program do you record with, and what hardware do you use? I am a total recording n00b.

anyone ever noticed a similarity between RTL, MOP, and AJFA? For example, the first songs have cool intros and are very thrashy, the second song on each is the title track, and the fourth song on each are the ballads. It was probably intentional.

Instrumentals were some of the last tracks (8 on AJFA and RTL, 7 on MOP). Track 3's were slower tracks. Yeah.

Yeah. I wish KEA had a "Kill 'Em All" track. Would've been cool.

Self-titled songs are great on all three of those :)

They all are pretty long too, and have pretty good guitar work.

All of the track 2s were arguably the most 'epic' (see: lengthy) songs as well.

I noticed that,i always thought it was just me.

Fade To Black, Sanitarium, and One all start with a B chord (once the main clean riff gets in)

Those "Metallica Sucks" avatars are really showing who the mature ones on the forum are.

Since when did people have Metallica sucks avatars?

[QUOTE=clairvoyant]Since when did people have Metallica sucks avatars?[/QUOTE]

Check out a thread in the pit, something about this guy jamming with Lars. A good few people in their are sporting Metallica Sucks avatars. Most of them post in R&M.

edit:

NVM all that. They're just giving the threadstarter a hard time.

[QUOTE=clairvoyant]Since when did people have Metallica sucks avatars?[/QUOTE]
Since never, just some idiots who think people care about their avatars.

I haven't seen those yet, what users have them?

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]I haven't seen those yet, what users have them?[/QUOTE]
RiceMonster has one, that's the only one I've seen so far.

The people who whine about it are even worse

I mentioned that awhile ago.

1- Awesome intro (either acoustic or electric) that leads into an awesome thrashy song
2- title track
3- not the best track on any album, heavy head banger but not very good
4- ballads. incredible. these 3 songs are easily 3 of their best songs. and they start with a similar intro, each has
D--4--
A-2--- in them

and i haven't noticed any further similarities

[QUOTE]The people who whine about it are even worse[/QUOTE]

intelligent :thumb: :rolleyes:

it's not a big deal. you shouldn't bash bands like that. i could have an avatar that said i hate tool and they'd bash me

Hey that guy said he jammed with Lars in Toronto (I think..?), but aren't they supposed to be in the studio right now?

Hey guys can I get a hand. I'm trying to learn the 2nd solo in Sanitarium. I've been using [URL=http://mxtabs.net/tabs.php?path=Guitar,m,799,Metallica,Sanitarium+W%2F+All+Solos,219538]this[/URL] to guide me. The first few seconds were easy enough. but I get to [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/6thedition/tab.jpg]here[/URL] before I start getting confused. I've used Windows Media Player to slow it down and try reading the tab at the same time to get a sense of the timing, but I just can't get my head around it. Can one of you guitar gurus sort me out. Is it accurate tab or am I a silly head? Any help appretiated :thumb:

your best bet would be to use Powertab for it, heres a link [url]http://www.powertabs.net/[/url]

good luck!

What do you use to read tab you download from that site?

Ok so you need help on the middle on? not the really tough one but the one btwn verses? Ok it's pretty easy. He uses the same scale as always. There's a little bit of harmony at the beginning, but you don't need to worry about that unless you're recording. It's not really any faster than the intro solo.

for the:
---1-----2-----1----2
E--------17--------15---etc-------------
B--17/15-----15/14----------------------

the top line is the fingers i find easiest until you need to use the 3 on the lower frets. try that out

Have I ever told you that I loved your avatar? :thumb:

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]The whole thing was a lie.[/QUOTE]
Oh probably... he didn't think that out to well.

It was rediculous though, he met Lars and Lars wanted to jam. Lars never wants to jam unless it's with his band members.
Also if he would've jammed then that would've counted as practice and everyone knows Lars doesn't practice.
