Hey, haven't seen one of these around so I thought I'd make one.
Basically anyone who plays guitar can talk about what they're learning to play, what they're playing at the moment, post riffs they have written or clips of them playing or whatever, or ask for tips from other guitarists on the forums. Oh and talk about gear, give advice on guitar buying, disscuss the best guitarists and such.
Right now I've just learned to play all of In the Fire by Roadrunner United. Gonna learn Cemetary Gates by Pantera soon.
Shred away!
-
I'm learning War by Burzum. Got the intro perfect in about 15 minutes. Finished learning I Could Care Less by Devildriver. Can play it perfectly with the song now.
-
meh, I haven't played my eletric guitar for like 1 year now, I prefer my acoustic one.
There isn't any song I couldn't play tbh, but the songs I like are kinda simple, so...
-
Rod, upload some clips of you playing .
I've had a guitar for about a year now, never really taken any lessons or made a massive effort to lean it, but do play it when I'm bored. Had it repaired, cleaned, polished, set up, and new strings/knobs put on today, so its as good as new .
-
I'm a pinch harmonic and minor pentatonic wh0re....preferably in the key of E minor.
-
i rarely touch my guitar cause everytime i do m friend shows me up so i woop his arse on drums.. but i guess im learning sweep picking
EDIT: i wana challenge anyone to simply play what .. a guy i used to be friends with did last year.. liquid tension experiment - paradigm shift.. he started listening to it and started playing along.. 1st time hearing it .. only up to 2:10 so.. anyone else that can do that is ok in my book .. and for drummers i did the same thing with the blister exists by Slipknot .. 2nd challenge for ya
-
I have a shitty acoustic, and im just learning :/ meh, it's probably best I learn the chords and shit anyways. It still doesn't make the guitar any better
-
sweet as you said on msn.. your learning to steal your fathers electric
EDIT: to sweets thing,.. i also suggested hiding it up his ass no way he would look there
-
that was your suggestion, and like I said, I wouldn't be exactly able to hide it or anything <_<
-
I can play and most of you bastards have heard me play.
Oh dude, and Cemetery Gates is a fun song to play, solos pretty cool to show off.
-
I'm a pinch harmonic and minor pentatonic wh0re....preferably in the key of E minor.
Dude, I'm exactly the same. I'm trying to diversify with some modes and stuff at the moment. Harmonic minor is my favourite scale right now (not a mode, but still).
-
E pentatonic is like, the most basic scale there is.
-
I bought a electric guitar like 2/3 months ago and took lessons. I'm learning Fall To Pieces - Velvet Revolver now.
-
I've been playing the guitar for around a year now and I know some songs, but right now I'm practising Sweet Child O' Mine
-
Rod, upload some clips of you playing .
I had some on YT, don't remember why I deleted them

It's some tab I wrote a few days ago out of boredom. It doesn't sound too bad in my opinion. I'm looking on learning Foolin' by Def Leppard soon. I just kinda... haven't started yet. lol
EDIT: By the way, the 0's on the low E are palm muted.
-

Learn the... (crap, brain fart)... scales first. Thats what I did. Most songs are in a same 5 note range so once you are able to pick out a note you can play around and find the scale that its based on.
yeah, If I get good enough, my dad might let me use his electric. Hell, he never plays it
-
Used to play the guitar.. My guitars just sit in my room as ornaments now though.
-
Just learned to play Shadows Fall - Thoughts Without Words. Solo is dam good fun to play
Also here's a question: best riff ever? And I'm not talking solos, just riffs.
-
smoke on the water duuhduhdudh
no srlsy, I gotta think for this one
Maybe Iron Maiden - TEH Tropper, I don't really like the song, but that intro riff is amazing to play
-
Im trying to learn the fast solo in Master of Puppets.
Anyone that can play that?
Then ur my friend
EDIT: BEST RIFF = MASTER OF PUPPETS, (BACK IN BLACK, HIGHWAY TO HELL AND ENTER SANDMAN)
-
oh yeah, Wherever I may roam riff is also awesome
-
the 1st thing i learnt on guitar was a riff of summer loving .. hella easy i just sorta came up with other songs.. i tought myself twinkle twinkle .. thats how hardcore i am on my acoustic
-
Lamb of God - Redneck opening riff is one of my personal favourites, along with.....Dopeman and a couple of others. About the best ever, its pretty much down to opinion, some of the most famous ones have been mentioned. Metallica have a load, Seek & Destroy, MoP, Enter Sandman...they're all universally recognizable.

yup, along with a handful of other classic metallica solos like the solos in One, Fade To Black, the Four Horsemen, Enter Sandman etc.

Actually all Metallica songs have wonderful riffs.
Don't forget "Battery"

Question: From which site do you take guitar tabs from?
I'll say: www.azchords.com
-
www.ultimate-guitar.com (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com) is the only site to get tabs from .
-
That one's good!
Fuck azchords.....this is great
-
911tabs
-
I get them here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU).
-
911tabs right here too. Yeah, Metallica's well written riffs are why they are so big - their song writing skills set them apart from lots of other bands.
Favourite riff for me... Faith No More - Suprise! You're Dead! opening riff is pretty fun. God Forbid have some tasty riffs also; one in interlude of To The Fallen Hero owns. Welcome To The Jungle is also an old favourite.
-

Amen brotha!
-
I'm just going through metallica songs trying to learn them. I'm quite shit on guitar, I usually get half way through a song and give up.
Ofthemountain owns anyone here though No doubt.
-
^Indeed.
Half of the time, I don't learn full songs. I'm only interested in a few riffs and that's about it.
-
same here
I don't really like to learn solos tbh
-
Just learned to play Shadows Fall - Thoughts Without Words. Solo is dam good fun to play
Also here's a question: best riff ever? And I'm not talking solos, just riffs.
Probably the break-down rhythm beat in Freezing Moon by Mayhem. There is a clip of them playing it at Wacken open air in 04 with two guitarists, and it is by far the most evil sounding riff I've ever heard, and it's so simple.
Although, the Rhythm in Aika Multa Muistot by Sentenced once the finale kicks in is pretty damn sweet. First time I heard it, it sent shivers running up and down my back. It's incredible, the feeling that comes off it.
-
i like to play solos so i can impress people and stuff
Pantera's Cowboys From Hell is one of my favorites, and goddamn I can double tap the whole solo without picking, haha.
-
I wanna learn Red Snow by Psychostick, but I can't find any tabs for it. :'(
The newest song I have learned was Feel So Numb by Rob Zombie.. Yeah i'm still a noob at this.
-
The best 2-guitar (Aucustic+Dist gtr) song to play is "Fade to Black" by Metallica.
Anyone that can play the whole song with the Dist part? (Hammet)
Me myself can't, only to the solo at 5.03..
-
I can play all electric and acoustic parts in that song. I love the solos.
-
Same, solos are epic in Fade To Black.
-
E pentatonic is like, the most basic scale there is.
True, but there's a lot of stuff you can do with it, and you can add a lot to the scale as far as the surrounding notes in each respective key.
I'm learning melodic minor at the moment in fact I have the patterns in each key in front of me, very nice scale.

you can do a lot with any scale.
-
ok then, now that we've established the obvious lets move on shall we?
now I came up with a little major tapping lick rather than the standard A minor triad that most guitarists use, on the key of G on the high E string goes from a G to an Ab to a Bb back to an E natural on the 12th fret, its pretty easy if you have big fingers that can handle the stretch here's the tabbed version for those of you who dont know theory.
E--3-6-8h12----7-10-12h14----14-15-18h20----|
let me know what you think, its just a start anyway.
-
what do you mean for those who dont know theory? How would you have posted it in musical form instead of in tab form? Tab is 100x easier. I enjoy tapping the most, I tap a lot. (on the guitar)
-

Theory doesnt exactly mean sheet music, but for example, I explained it in the sense, that I named the note names, the key, if it was major or minor, and the timing signature (for those who know theory like I do), which I forgot to mention (4/4 for this case) and posted a tab for those who dont.

wise guy huh? you're a wise guy

wise guy huh? you're a wise guy
Yes I am Mike, yes I am.
-
bump
anybody learning any cool songs lately? I'm learning Jet City Woman by Queensryche.
-
Sounds good man. I broke a string yesterday and bought a new set today, only for the new one to also break for no reason. I'm so pissed off right now.
-
I'm learning "One" by Metallica.
It's hard.
I am right before James start singing.
-

How do you re-string? Because usually 99% of all tuning and string breakage problems are either from, not stringing your strings correctly, or sharp saddles.
-
I'm gonna try to get my first electric in march (we get income taxes then ) and I was wondering what was a good starting one.

Knowing your music taste, I think this one would be a nice starting one for you

Basswood body
24 frets
thin fast neck
fixed bridge (no messy Floyds to deal with at the moment)
but honestly if you gave me a price range, I'll be able to give you a more accurate description.
-
Nirvana - Come as you are
easiest song eva
in fact, laern all Nirvana songs, it will take you 5 min
-
What kind of guitars does everyone have?
I've got a Gibson SG Standard, Schecter Tempest Custom, and a Takamine EG561-C
As far as songs go... I've kinda grown out of the whole learning songs, like I guess it's fun when you first start playing but I personally feel more satisfied when I write my own stuff. I've played a bunch of shows with a couple different bands with different styles so I just feel a little bit bored learning songs now.
Does anybody else play shows?

I honestly don't know my price range, as that is the money from income taxes and we never know how much we get. but 300 should be good, I hope.
-
Haha, Eric, that's the exact same guitar I have right now. I love it. Only it's black.
-
I'm just starting to get real with playing guitar as of late. And yeah I wanted to ask for recommendations on an actual decent electric guitar, around the 300 dollar price range if possible. I will probably be playing metal more than anything else. That Ibanez is looking pretty good.

I got my cousin's shitty FirstAct guitar since i broke mine.. Can't wait till I get my new one though. >_<
-
Black Ibanez.

The one on the right was my first guitar, some FirstAct. I don't know specifically. The black one on the left is an Ibanez RG2EX1. I bought it about 2 weeks ago, it's been great since. It's not exactly the best view of it lol. I'm buying a used amp soon, since my old one is nothing special.

from left to right: Seagull Acoustic, Ibanez JS1200, ESP Dave Mustaine DV8-R
-
I got a Tanglewood acoustic which i love, and a shitty squire strat thingy lol.
-
I'm currently playing an Epiphone Les Paul Junior, quite the nice little toy for the money I got it for, and since I'm in a rough spot at home (divorce and all) it keeps me occupied.
-
Mike, I love how the JS1200 looks. I'm currently playing a Yamaha ERG-121, my first guitar .
-
Is anybody in a band?
I can see Mike has some money
I'm not a big fan of the V style guitars, they're very awkward in my opinion
-
Awkward indeed. I tried a few of those guitars, you pretty much either gotta stand or have it sit upwards in order to play them.... for me, they just slip out of my lap. How do you manage, Mike?

its getting used to the classical position, its really easy, I've played V's a lot in Guitar Center so I'm used to it.
-
quick guys, alder or basswood?
-
quick guys, alder or basswood?
If you're gonna be playing metal, I say Alder, Basswood can be EQ'd down to fit a nice metal profile, but Alder not only being a classic tone wood has the versatility that basswood doesnt have, basswood is more for shred and neoclassical, but i'd choose Mahogany if I had the chance.
-

When I play my V sitting down I have the middle of the V resting on my right upper leg and I sort of clinch my legs together to keep it stable. The neck is on an angle instead of horizontal obviously which is something I've gotten used to and I find quite comfortable. Otherwise I just play standing.
-
I'm looking for a certain Metallica tab... but I don't know the name of the song. I heard it on the radio a few days ago, but they never said the name. The only thing I remember was this part.
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
--14-14-14--10-10-10--8-8-8--6-6-6--------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
I doubt that's actually the correct tab, but it sounds similar to that. Play it pretty fast, in sets of 3 (of course). Any help would be appreciated.
-
do you remember any of the lyrics? Because you can google them.
-
Sadly, no. I was trying to look for it on ultimate-guitar.com... However, there's a ton of Metallica tabs to look through, so I can't.
If you're confused, that part shows up in the song as a regular riff... It's not just once or twice.
-
Bump?
-
Prolly wrong but:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoLzIWts4zg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoLzIWts4zg)
(I didn't actually play the tab, I'm just guessing by the ammount of stuff.)
-
alright so what's everyone's favorite time signature to play in? I like standard 4/4 timing or 6/8, 6/8 gives it a slower heavier feel but you can do soooo much with it, and the groove is so awesome.
-
I dont really think about that. I just play.
-
I don't really have any clue what he's talking about.
-
Some of you guys need to learn theory haha.
-
I'm a noob.
-
I'm a noob.
Dude, learn some theory so you can apply it to the instrument, learn your scale and chord formulas so you can make some interesting sounding stuff, its not that hard, as long as you apply yourself.
-
I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT
:cool:
I haven't actually played anything yet () but I prefer songs that have odd time signatures.
-
Sweet, that's a pretty bad ass signature, Anaal kicks ass. I love my odd signatures, gives me more to play with than just regular 4/4.
-
4/4 is the easiest to write stuff and for playing along to chord progressions.
I personally like 3/4 timing cause I'm into more progressive style music so that offbeat keeps you a little bit focussed.

I like 3/4 but its a bit too staccato for me, if i used the right terminology, that's why I like 6/8, its double its timing and its longer and more drawn out, which makes a heavier, slower sound, even if you're just playing clean or acoustic chords.

I love standard 4/4
Also to ask:
Which is better, Ibanez INF1 and INF2 pickups or IBZ designed by EMG pickups?
Process of picking one guitar right now (and don't worry I have a metal effects pedal)
-
those are shitty pickups. Just spend a little extra and you get wicked sound. Go for some Dimarzio PAF Joe in the bridge and PAF Fred at the neck. Or evos, those sound great. So I guess, your lame metal pedal would sound less lame.
-
Yeah except I don't have the budget. From the pricing in my country those 2 cost me about an extra 250 dollars which I do not really have to spend on pickups.
-

Don't tell him that, dont you know that your amp is 90% of your tone?
Dont worry much about the pickups now, what kind of amp do you have? if its a tube amp, then yes go ahead and upgrade your pickups or pickup an EHX Metal Muff (great overdrive/high gain pedal). In case you dont, then save up for a decent tube amp, doesnt have to be very big, in fact most small tube combos are louder than most solid state amps and sound better, how big is your budget?
-
there's no such thing as a budget. you cant afford something you want, save. It's not a hard concept, you get a job and earn money which you can either spend or save. Yeah the pickups are kind of expensive but they're worth the price. Good pickups with a good amp > shitty pickups with a good amp. You can add all the effects you want but the clean, crisp sound comes from good pickups. I could add all the distortion in the world and my guitar still produces great clean sound if I play chords.

You're missing the point dude, the tone comes completely from the amp, the pickups just help shape it, why do you think the amps have built in distortions and cleans? So that the pickups can build around that and help shape your tone, if it was the other way around, I could have an EMG 81 installed into my LP and have it sound like Zakk Wylde during the No More Tears era, with my shitty 15W combo, why? because he used EMG 81's. But no, his tone came from his overdrive pedal and his old Ampeg amps. Of course having a nice tube amp and nice pickups would be nice, but I'm not sure in Thailand (please excuse me if I'm ignorant here) the concept of simply getting a job and saving up is not as simple as it is in the U.S.A or Canada, if it was, would there be such a high poverty level? No there wouldn't.
-
This is true. Most places I know (minimum wage) require you to have atleast a high school degree before trying to get a job.
-
ALSO: Average minimum wage per DAY in Thailand for lets say, a fast food chain: 6 dollars.
6 dollars per day? What the fuck.
-
During the summer people from Thailand come all the way to Sweden to pick berries. Swedes don't even do that, cause it's not very lucrative. So yeah, Eric got a strong point there, Mike.

In Örnsköldsvik we heve NO berries left.
-
I dont give a fuck what eric has to say, he's a liar and he's proved it in the past. I dont associate with liars. Poverty is just a term for lazy people. If you're life is so hard take a boat ride across the atlantic and live out the American Dream. You people should read the book Ragged Dick by Horatio Alger. If everything is so corrupt in Thailand then join the dark side. Deal heroin or something. I'm sure you could make stacks of money.
I have two guitars, an ESP Dave Mustaine DV8-R with Seymour Duncan pickups and an Ibanez JS1200 with Dimarzio Joe Satriani signature pickups. If I play both guitars on my amp with the exact same settings, the JS1200 sounds much better, more crisp, clean sound with a metal tone. Why is that? Because they're really good quality pickups and even though the Seymour Duncan pickups are good, they're not as good and you can tell from the sound.
-
OK I dunno where this has gone, browsing through all I can see is shit about berries and wages...
Anyway, in response to some stuff Eric was saying, I don't like to take theory too seriously. I agree it gives you a lot of scope for creativity but sticking to it harshly cramps it too. I write stuff based around keys but add in other weird chords/melodies that are keyless if they sound good. Bands like Lamb Of God and Opeth get really cool stuff out of the Chromatic scale which I like.
At the end of the day it's all about how it sounds and I find it's easier to be more original if I'm fairly loose with theory. However I can see why other players find theory (particularly complex theory) a necessity when writing or whatever. As long as it sounds good, it doesn't matter right?

Dude why dont you shut the fuck up and go away, none of your posts matter anyway so why waste it? So I lied in the past, big fucking deal, get over it, seriously, all you ever do is fucking spam the forums, I'm getting really fucking tired of your annoyance, you're a nuisance on the forums and I dont give a fuck about what you've done in the past for the forums, you're a dick and its been proved by how you react when you know people are right. Go play a 6505 and then tell me what a real amp sounds like, oh and btw, the JS1200 sounds different because of the basswood body, not the pickups, the DV8-R has a Mahogany body, which is a darker sounding wood, so shut the fuck up, get a new amp and hear what real tone is like.
And the theory helps, I dont let it affect my creativity, remember dissonance is bliss

Go play a 6505 and then tell me what a real amp sounds like, oh and btw, the JS1200 sounds different because of the basswood body, not the pickups, the DV8-R has a Mahogany body, which is a darker sounding wood, so shut the fuck up, get a new amp and hear what real tone is like.
And the theory helps, I dont let it affect my creativity, remember dissonance is bliss
I still have fans here. Shut your piehole you dirty immigrant. And dont tell me to get a new amp to hear what real tone is like. I've played on my buddy's Peavey JSX head through a marshall half-cab, on both my JS1200 and my buddy's JEM and Universe. I think I've heard quite good tone. hey remember that fancy studio you were always playing at and making recordings? haha yeah, shut the fuck up.

I dont give a fuck what eric has to say, he's a liar and he's proved it in the past. I dont associate with liars. Poverty is just a term for lazy people. If you're life is so hard take a boat ride across the atlantic and live out the American Dream. You people should read the book Ragged Dick by Horatio Alger. If everything is so corrupt in Thailand then join the dark side. Deal heroin or something. I'm sure you could make stacks of money.
I have two guitars, an ESP Dave Mustaine DV8-R with Seymour Duncan pickups and an Ibanez JS1200 with Dimarzio Joe Satriani signature pickups. If I play both guitars on my amp with the exact same settings, the JS1200 sounds much better, more crisp, clean sound with a metal tone. Why is that? Because they're really good quality pickups and even though the Seymour Duncan pickups are good, they're not as good and you can tell from the sound.

Oh! so all you've heard is a JSX? the JSX is quite sterile tonewise, and a Marshall Cab? let me guess the 1960B look, when you've played through a Framus Cobra, a 6505 and a Framus Dragon, Peavey 6505, and a Carvin V3 (I spent a lot of time in GC) then you've heard good tone, the JSX has the Ultra channel off the XXX, which is a half decent amp, but still not a very nice tube amp, so I'll leave it be, if you have a problem with me take it up in PM's...its funny how you've memorized all my lines, I guess you're my biggest fan eh?
-
You dont have to play a guitar yourself through a good amp to hear good tone. Have you ever listened to music? you can hear tone there too eh. Paul Gilbert has awesome tone, as well as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and I could go on. You have this impression that I'm totally ignorant and you're trying to act like some know-it-all. I've been playing guitar for over 4 years. This lame argument is hereby over.
-
Fuck off Mike. Talking like you have "fans". If someones a fan of you then they should hang themselves by a skipping rope. Think your some badman, your any guy, your probably one of them guys that bust out over "owning" someone over the internet...DICKHEAD!

You can play guitar for 20 years and still be ignorant, I bet that's gonna be you one day, but yes this argument is over, but not because you declared so, its because you just dont know the mechanics of tone and what makes those tones. Besides anyone can have good tone as long as they have the right gear and know how to EQ, plus an effect or 2 is always useful.

I was playing Xbox Live and talked shit and won. That's how I roll.
-
Now that this bashing war between the two of you is over... anyone wanna teach me how to do pinch harmonics? I looked up lessons online, but they didn't help for shit, so I'm look for some actual advice, preferably with MSN and a webcam.
-
Fuck equipment, just play.
Rocka, basically start out doing them on the 5th fret on the G string. You basically need to have your thumb in a position where it clips the string just after you pick it. A way I find to do this is to sort of flick your right wrist anticlockwise as you play the string, so your thumb is angled towards the string after you have picked.
When I say clip the string just after you pick it, I mean literally JUST after, all one movement. It sounds a little complex but you just need to know the main principle of clipping the string with your thumb slightly. Keep playing around and trying to do them (move up and down the string with your right hand to find a good spot) and you will eventually find a way that works for you.
-
there are places you have to pick. eventually after you try to memorize (you dont have to if you practice often) you'd know where to pick for each fret.
-
practice on the G string. they're easiest to do on the G or B string.
-
They can be done anywhere, I started on the 3rd fret, low E string and have kept moving on, I can do em anywhere now.
-

Of coarse you can.
I can't really give anymore advice than what's already been said, a lot of it now is just trial and error.
Good luck!
PS: There's nothing wrong with being ignorant.
-

I didn't say they couldn't, they're easier to do on the G and B string and since he's trying to figure out how to do them, that's a good place to start.

Bump. I refuse to let this topic die!!
Anyways, I learned the first solo of Foreplay/Long Time by Boston a few weeks ago thanks to a friend of mine. After the long pause in the song. I'm proud of myself.
-

fun as hell to play

I might take this up again, as I couldn't get an electric my interest slowly waned the only acoustic stuff i listen to is opeth and I can't do it, cause it's really hard =(
-
double post but this is somewhat kinda urgent (not really...)
anyone know where to find a list of left-handed guitars or something? a couple of the sites I went to have a few left handed, but i really would like to know if there's like, a list or something of guitars available for left handed. No gibsons/fenders, tbh. I'm trying to find a list of ibanez ones (I found one, but i would like to know more + the ibanez site sucks for that sort of stuff.)
thanks if you can help.
-
Have you found a right handed guitar impossible to play? Because left handed guitarists would later regret they started out left handed because they're missing out all the advantages of being a right handed guitarist, example being you have a very limited choice of left hand guitars (from Ibanez atleast, I think they have only 3 left handed models)
But if its really hard for you, yeah, get a left handed one.
-
I've never actually tried, tbh, but my right hand is far weaker than my left, which will make it hard to strum fast, at all.

It's cool, they have an ibanez that looks cool and isn't too costly.

-
but how does it play? looks and be diceiving!
-
I'm assuming the 50 reviews that gave it a 9 average were right, but your probably right. I'll see if any of the local guitar places have a version of this (doesn't matter if it's right handed) and see if it plays well at all.
-
Yo, fellas, and ladies (lol).
I started working at McDonald's (double lol), and with all the crap I've bought, I've got about 400 bucks or so.... and I need a new amp... Any suggestions? I'm into the older 80's Hair and Power metal style of playing, so anything in that area, used or new. Hopefully something not more than 200-250.
-
MCDONALDS
PICS NOW
-
tbh your not gonna get the greatest sound or stuff out there in your price range tbh...
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/...100001+338491+9 (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/guitar-amplifiers?N=100001+338491+9)
youll never get prices liek those on that hardware at ta store gotta buy formt eh site (which is secure i used it 190232147205 times) they have a monthly magazine and im sure im not the only one here thats used this. anyway i hope your not expectign a great sound. also what kind of guitar do you havE?
-
Really, I thought the best amps come at that price. The link didn't really help me much, I need specific links. As for the pictures, Rod, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
-
heh my good amp costed 3,700 smackaroonies xd... the best sound you canget with you proce range is probally just 20w or osmethign nothing to great but then again what kind of guitar do you got?
-
I learned to play the whole intro on Fade to Black without any missed notes today
-
whats the tab? ive never heard of it i think...
-

As far as amps go, I'm thinking Crates or something. I don't have 3700 smackaroonies to spend.
-
yup a 15w non tube amp would suffice. you dont havve a great guitar lol.
-
I'm satisfied with it. It plays nicely, fairly smooth. The guitar doesn't make the player dude.
-
no it really can... if randy rhoads jammed with a squier he would suck. if eddie van halen ddint invent his own guitar he could never become the taping master. see wher eim going?
-
The quality of their equipment has nothing to do on how well they can play. If EVH had some shit guitar, he would still be as good as he is, see what I mean?
-

I fail to see how he would be a shitty guitarist if he didn't make his own guitar. Isn't it a thing called skill that matters instead of equipment?
-
he had a one tone no switch guitar sure he would have the ability to play but he cant without the gear. almost every song requires effects of some sort is all imsaying. if angus young didnt invent the light wire right strings then he could never preform appregios and bends the same way. see what im getting at?
if EVH never had an edit of his fret action than he could never play taps the way he can.
play your guitar and cheezy amp for awhile than go to a guitar center and ask to try out a gibson or fender or otehr high brAND HIGH priced guitar (over 2000$) ask fo ra marshall MG amp to try it on and just mess witht eh amp a lilthen strum once. you will FEEEL the difference. i started playing electric guitar at 10 (played acoustic since second grade) i had a squier strat and a studio 15r amp froma starter pack that totaled 300 dollars. then for my 16th birthday my auntie got me a Gibson Flying V and a MArshall MG250dfx tube amp. (i think that was the correct number). i fel the differnece form teh start. now i own over 40 guitar s and 20 amps. (and a drum set ) trust me gear DOES matter. you cant achieve the same sound.
-
That's not besides the point. Your gear doesn't make your skill.
-
I know fuck all about gear, I just play.
Get an alright amp and spend the rest of the money of Jagermeister.

Playing guitar drunk is funny You feel like you don't miss a single note
-
It's great because no matter how hard you try your muscles can't process your thoughts fast enough, so you're constantly playing slow.
I tried to climb a fence drunk once with disastrous results. Anyway, back to guitar...
-
Eh, i cant seem to get the hang of guitar, iv been playing for a while now but i dont see much improvement, i still play every now and then because its still fun but i dont see myself getting really good. You guys should post some clips of yourselves playing
-
holy shit! i found an audio thingy of myself playing my own randition of acdcs thunderstruck from '99.... maybe i upload later...
-
it's probably...
wait for it...
UTTER GARBAGE =D
-
That was great. I'd post a video, but I can't really improvise too well. I just play random stuff really fast to make myself sound good.
-
I sat there for five minutes waiting a pic to show up . Anyway it is true sweet. And rocka, id sugest getting an easy guitar tab such as smoke on the water or something or Stariway to heaven (joke). smoke ont he waters gotta be very reckognizable and the easiet rock tab to play. PLaying fast just gets really boring after a while... trust me.

Who can't play smoke on the water? =|
Anyway I just finished learned Zelda theme song.
It's been on my to-learn list, but i've never gotten around to it.

Smoke on the water!? That's too damn difficult.
Dude, if you're getting the impression that I suck at guitar, then you're wrong. I've been playing for two years now, do you think I've just been practicing Smoke on the water? And I've been playing "fast" for quite a while now, and I still have yet to get bored of it.
-
smoke on the water? play it like this
|-----------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------
|----0---3--5--0--3---6---5---3---5--3---0---(0)--
|----0---3--5--0--3---6---5---3---5--3---0---(0)-
|------------------------------------
|-------------------------------
thats an easier and more commonly used way to play the intro. it should take all of five minutes and its fun. if you think smoke ont he water is hard......... just stop playing... especially if its been 2 years,...
-
He was using sarcasm, if you couldn't tell. I have a video of him playing seek and destroy (rhythm, he's not THAT good yet )
-
I am that good.
Anyone know cool stage tricks? I can play guitar solos at the back of my body, free bird on the back of my head, but the picking with the teeth just isn't my style.
-
Lick the guitar Kenny. That'll get the ladies riled up.
He was using sarcasm, if you couldn't tell. I have a video of him playing seek and destroy (rhythm, he's not THAT good yet )
That was a while ago Sweet.

Link or your own candy?

I haven't recorded any videos lately.

Kenny, search angus young on youboob..... answers your question.
Btw i finally nailed dont wanna stop by ozzy its not to difficult but the solo requires quite some stamina!
-
Been playing guitar for one year now, just learning Sweet Child O' Mine - GNR from different YouTube vids and tabs. Man, I love GNR.
Btw: Have you all seen that new guitar from Epiphone (www.epiphone.com (http://www.epiphone.com))? It's the Slash Les Paul Goldtop, for a bit cheaper expensive price. Only 2000 will be made though and probably only in America so I can't get it.
(Shouldn't this be moved to music section?)
-
Good idea Genyus, moved .
-
Okay does anyone know anything about this guitar: http://www.freetimeweb.nl/home/picture/sub.../epiphone_v.jpg (http://www.freetimeweb.nl/home/picture/sub/gitaar/verzameling/epiphone_v.jpg)
It's an epiphone by gibson from a long time ago...my brother gave it to me to care of, and it's like the one in the picture, except black and with a maple neck. Needs strings replaced and there's something wrong with the pickups I think. But other than that, we don't know much about the guitar. It was left outside his front door like 20 years ago and he just found it there. So if anyone can tell me anything about it, the price or something,anything would be nice.

Gentlemen, I wrote a little...I guess parody/re-endition/2nd part to Eruption, I was trying to come up with good leads and stuff to test out my new mic and I added some delay to it on Audacity and this is how it came out.

I'm personally proud of it, even though I did fuck up in a couple of places, but I gotta say it sounds cool even though its basic as hell.

That was a bit funky Eric. Not quite what I had expected... now you wanna explain that first comment on your page down there?
-

Its kinda funky bluesy since funk and blues were the first things I learned. lmfao, its because I straightened my hair and I told someone in a thread that I used a cream to straighten it, and they were asking the name of it.
-
just learned to play One - Metallica, Now im practicing Headstrong - Trapt
-
aye first learned the blues too. that was a nice lick there eric. got any tabs. was it played tapping? if you removed the .5second pauses itd be much better imo. i have finally mastered finger tapping. (i tried it on adn off its not very hard but requires alot of accuracy. And i'm taling 2-4 finger taping and even tapping with two fingers on two strings. i've seen it before. now thats hard.)

Yeah its mostly multi string tapping, I'm not all that good at it since I've really just been into it for like the past month or so, but I practice it every day.
-
yeah it was harder to calice those fingers then any others. btw i just downloaded GuitarTux. its a free download mix of power tab editor and guitar pro. its really good but i can't get any sound with the percussion. any help? .
and eric, you mind sharig the tablature?
Edit: TuxGuitar my bad
-
Nope on both accounts, I dont play by tabs, I usually play by ear lol, try and figure it out, I'll give you a hint its in the key of Bb, which is the 6th fret on the high E string in standard tuning.
-
ha ok bro.
-
I learned the solos today to the following songs
Crystal Mountain
Misanthrope
Scavenger Of Human Sorrow
all by Death, but unless I get a different guitar with a better neck access I wont be able to play Scavenger since...the end of it is really high lol.
-
how many frets you got?
-
how many frets you got?
22, plus my fret access is a piece of shit.
-
oh i got 24 on all my guitars but my Ibanez really lets me shred
-
Just finished learning Crystal Mountain, that's a tough one.
-
Just finished learning Crystal Mountain, that's a tough one.
The solo or the entire song? because the rhythm at least for me is pretty straight forward.
-
The Whole thing.
-
whaddya guys prefer playin? rythm or lead
-
Well, depends what band/song. Usually i enjoy playing lead guitars more.
-
I do what Alexi Laiho does most of the time, I just throw in a CD and jam over it and see what I can come up with, whether it be shred or rhythm.
-
i prefer lead usually, im just not much a fan of chord .
also what software do you guys use for writing recording, etc. i want guitar pro but im content i guess with TuxGuitar and PowerTab
and also frooty loops V4.51
-
Okay, so I want to learn more of scales and stuff. Because right now, all I know is how to play g major in 4 positions and the major scale for everything else in the first position (with the low e string root). Also I know how to do that with minor, minor pentatonic, and blues.
My question is though, where the hell do I start? And is there a particular guide or something?

Those patterns are just fundamental scales, they're modes, that's the correct terminology. Just learn those so called "modes" or scales if you will, and you'll know pretty a pretty decent library of music.

I have gone off learning theory quite a lot now, I don't think it's necessarily that important creatively. If you want to compose new stuff just experiment and see what sounds good, I find I can acheive more honest, original music that way.
-
Simply put:
Modes are exactly like the major scale, they just start and end with a different root note. Different modes give you different feelings, for example the minor scale, or the aeolian mode, gives you a saddish feeling. Try not to limit your music to scales and modes though, try to experiment a bit with chromatism and you might get something good.

I remember teaching you about modes ages ago Kenny you're a great guitarist.

Naw, I'm still dirty on some techniques like sweeping and alternate picking, and everything I just said is what you taught me lol. I learned stuff from how you improvised and I use it in some of my acoustic jams, heh.

i hated theory . im practicing some open scales. and how can one not play the minor blues penatonic? also how do yuo guys normally play. like what position? ive played standing but alot of times im sitting with my leg dropped.
-
I find the most comfortable way to play is with my leg crossed, and with my guitar raised about 60 degrees up, while resting on my leg. I usually end up playing a lot cleaner when sitting like that. It does get quite comfortable sometimes as well, even though I sometimes feel like a pansy sitting like that. Haha.

i have my guitar smushed up against my body. always got in trouble for moving m arm not my wrist

Most of the time I play like that, I also play in front of my computer monitor with a black background and music running so I could jam to it and also see that there's correct finger technique being used. Dont worry a lot of people in latin american sit that way regularly, its become a trend in the U.S to think you're a pansy if you sit that way, but I dont pay attention to it
-
never played one. anyway. whats your guys favorite o mmost common scale
-
My favourite scale is any harmonic minor. Sounds so damn sexual!
-
ummm....idk, I use a variation of the major scale...by some definitions is diminished...I have no clue, all I know its my favorite right now.

Ibanez EDGE III's are out of the question, watch out for anything and by anything, I mean NO EXCEPTIONS Ibanez that isn't a Lo-Pro Edge, Original Edge, Edge Pro, or Edge Zero, the ZR Tremolo is also very good. Jackson JT580's and 590's are also pretty nice, the 590 in particular is made by Schaller who used to make the Original Floyd Rose. The JT580's come in mid-range Jacksons and even on some of the higher end ones that aren't U.S.A made. Umm...so here's a rule of thumb, unless its a Prestige Ibanez or a mid-range Jackson, a USA Ernie Ball or anything of more than 500 USD, its pretty much putty and tin foil.
EDIT: by the way, what's your budget, playing style and amp?
-
Line 6 Spider Jam 75W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp is what i usually jam with. im more into the ACDC led zepplin however i can play some present day rock. budget maybe 600

I'd get a new amp if I were you, I personally dont like Line 6's anymore as I prefer tube amps, for that type of music you wont really need a Floyd Rose, maybe a decent Strat style bridge for light vibrato would be good.
-
i got a strat. im more into my SG custom. (angus style) the amp plays really welland i got a good price. im looking into a marshall though. any suggestions?

Unless its Tube or a used Valvestate 8100, mind you 8100, not anything else (This is what Chuck Schuldiner of Death used) then Marshalls are crap.
-
idk i've always loved marshalls...

Well the Marshall tone is defined with the JCM series, which is what every classic rock guitar player uses, the solid state Marshalls don't really have that, its been defined that they have a "bees in a box" type sound, idk man, try it, maybe you'll like it, but I will still stand for tube Marshalls and tube amps in general.

Any Skid Row fans here? I've been practicing I Remember You in and out for the last couple of months, and it's a fun song to play.
-
I like Get The Fuck Out and Slave To The Grind, but thats about it, I love those songs haha.
-
Slave to the Grind is an awesome album period.
-
i played guitar hero at a friend's house and it was actually kinda fun.
doesn't make me want to buy a 300 dollar guitar though :0
-
I haven't played Guitar Hero very much, but I sucked at it, and...I quickly lost interest lol.
-

-

JCM800 or 900 is your best bet, but they're not gonna come cheap.
