WGP doesn't come around UG much anymore, he's on occasionally on SU.

[Freepower]

Welcome back spee, thanks for the mention. :) Still around. What else would i do except hang on UG and learn stuff?

[Boghead]

wat about blackened????

[wil]

Hey, i know its a lame radio station but over here, Virgin RADIO is advertising Satch's UK tour, they call him 'pioneering rock guitarist' or something---i dont know if this is a good thing or not, but its definitely the mos publicity the guys ever had over here!

I wAs just wndering, has anyone one here ever started the 'ultimate powertab' or something like that? Im sure everyone on here knows a thing or two so if everyone contributed like, four exercises or licks and someone took the time to tab in PT or GP it would be a Pretty awesome 'instant trickbag'...

[Scorzerci]

blackened is gone

I just read that guthrie joined the band asia recently, and was wondering if they had released any albums with him??

[pavan]

are you from the past? could you teach me time travelling too? I want to prevent the births of many people, and also the death of a few dear ones.........

[SnowballofDoom]

:haha

[Freepower]

Here, its very simple, continue in same sorta vein, add licks and bass and drums... whats there is basically a non-sloppy version of what i did for my mock practical at AS level.

And decide who's actually adding to it before adding to it, we dont want 50 submissions at once.

And its in gp4 format, btw. Please keep it that way or powertab, GP5 is teh gay.

[apocalypse13]

I might FP, I lurve writing tabs.

[PooKoo]

whats wrong with 5?

[canadianshred]

i probably will

[Freepower]

whats wrong with 5?

tis teh ghey. And i dont have it. :p:

I'd like to watch my creation grow, without unneccessary features, thanks.

[PooKoo]

well ive got 5 but ill excport it to 4 somehow cause i love ya, btw im doing the next part if its cool

[apocalypse13]

I'm working on it now. How much should I add? Till I'm out of ideas?

[PooKoo]

does it have to be playable?

hehe. just a couple chords that i embellished a little.

[Freepower]

^ not the strings section, but vaguely...imagine you're PG or something. :p:

I'm working on it now. How much should I add? Till I'm out of ideas?

Nah, just add a "chunk". :)

[PooKoo]

ok well its playable cept one chord is damn damn damn hard. i added a clean section!

[Freepower]

get it up, foo!

(bet thats not the first time you've heard that) ;)

[PooKoo]

http://rapidshare.de/files/17785732/shred_in_progress.gp4.html

all i got so far, im adding lead on it tomorrow, but for now, im off to sleep. Enjoyyy
edit, i hate you fp.

[apocalypse13]

Mine's semi playable.

There's a crazy tapping run near the end that'll definitely take some practice.

[Axegrinder#9]

you know I was thinking, I remember this grand thing that folks in Riffs and Recordings did last year - they had a backing track and a bunch of people soloing over it, it was a competition of sorts...

I was thinking it'd be really cool if we shredders got together and wrote an epic long original composition, not something that we might necessarily have to do immediately, but take our time with it and such... people could probably start off with a simple idea and that could be extended and such... it'd be a progressive effort both in terms of musicality and concept due to the nature of the project... and finally after we have a fairly concrete idea of what it would be like, we could have solo interludes for people involved in it...

any takers?

[Erc]

^ Sounds cool to me, I'd do it. Sounds like a fun thing to do to pass the time.

[Night_Lights]

Mine's semi playable.

wow thats pretty cool. i like the clean sweeping bit, but looks really hard to play :eek:

[Night_Lights]

is WyldeGibsonPlyr around, that guy was like a big help for me...

same with that other dude..i forget his username but u moved to new jersey from india for school...he was an awesome player...ahh yess...axegrinder9 i think lol

i think wyldegibsonplyr is looong gone. how long have you been away? hes probably on one of the other forums that have popped up.

Don't believe you

[PooKoo]

my timings almost as bad as darby crash.

edit, apoc, yours was excellent, actually, reallly impressed me. Loved the open strings, like ya said.

anyways, ill finish my part today, and axe, that sounds like a great idea, im definantly in.

[paddyo]

Excellent stuff Pookoo. I love the counter melodies of the guitars with the 'one fast,one slow' effect. Cool:D

[PooKoo]

thanks man, its not done yet though, gonna switch to the relative major probably, and rip off a fair bit of classical music.

[paddyo]

Sounds good already bro;) re-post it when its finished will you?

[PooKoo]

of course. Ill post when im done the clean part, then again once i put lead over it.

I might make this into a full song of my own, actually, i like the way its going.

[Matt_Malmsteen]

[PooKoo]

hm?

[Freepower]

s'alright, a bit harmonically obvious and i dont like the flavour of some of the chords, though it is interesting...

anyway, who's next?

[PooKoo]

i just kinda threw it together in 10 minutes, so yeah. Also, fixed up the timing on a couple parts.

[TasianSensation]

hey shred noob here... :rolleyes:

can anyone tell me some exercises i could practice to get my speed and accuracy up? please don't say scales.... i would like some variety!

thanks guys

[Matt_Malmsteen]

Someone posted this in another thread

Speed and accuracy.

Wow. Could you narrow that down a little please?

Speed is a mixture of muscle development and accuracy. Accuracy is trained into the muscles via attention and correct practice.

What exactly do you want to do faster and more accurately, and what's keeping you back from doing them? What tensions, what motions are causing you problems?

I suppose step one is economy of motion. Start training your fingers to stay lower. Half the motion, half the effort, double the speed. Quadruple the player. (Technically, anyway, blah blah blah)

[priest.fan.]

hey guys, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to check out this instrumental I improvised... It's not too great, and I really want to improve on stuff like this. I figure'd you guys may be better equipped to help than the rest of the UG forum :p: I definately realize its pretty sloppy and not-good on the whole :/

Nice clean tone. I notice your weakness in phrasing already in the first bars. Might wanna try to get your vibrato better. The backing track's pretty boring, but you can come up with some pretty nice licks.

All in all, it's decent guitaring.

[pavan]

Been listening to a lot of Eric Johnson lately. what a player!
I like especially victory, the whole of venus isle & ah via musicom, & his cover of paperback writer
I'm digging his other albums

[Freepower]

My "Why do you come here?" thread's been locked. Why?

Those mods didnt even leave a message, and it was about twice as informative as about all the marcus paus threads put together. :(

Its not like i can go into the pit and go "Hey, why'dja come to the shred forum?". I just want to know...

[pavan]

the random shred chat thread is always there. I'm surprised the stupid mods......... whatever. I can write an essay on the stupidity of the mods. Although I'd like to see threads and topics which are constructive and informative.

Make a new one. It was closed probably because of those Hammett arguments.

[Freepower]

^ nah, those stopped before it was closed - and i would have closed it myself had it degenerated into hammeting. Its not like it matters, i just would like some manners...

"Sorry, this is offtopic for the shred forum, ta.

*closed*"

would do.

[SnowballofDoom]

It's weird they closed that thread, the shred popularity contest went for something like 15 pages, iirc.

Maybe they left it open because SD was a choice in the poll :p:

[Freepower]

Nah, they were just never here then. Now our pwness has attracted mods from other forums they'll tell papa mod when we're stepping seriously, seriously out of line.

I honestly bet theres a thread in the mod forum -

"Holy crap, look what these tards are doing now!"

with about 19 pages of links to us pwning noobs, posting nonsense, spamming and creaming ourselves over shred vids.

[PooKoo]

how did they not notice the upload thread for so long?

and i dont hate our mods, they seem like nice reasonable people from how long i've been here. And cas is my hero after the a7xownz thing.

[priest.fan.]

yeah, the a7xownz thing was awesome. \m/

kind of makes me wish I had some kind of modly powers >_>


























... yeah, like that'll ever happen :haha especially since I've been banned 10 or 11 times now >_>

[mr_clapton]

well you see fp the mods are scared that we will revolt against them and take over all of UG so every now and then they come in close a few random threads to establish their domiance....thats the shred forum for ya

[apocalypse13]

Cas knows PooKoo pwns his mod powers.

;)

:haha

[apocalypse13]

PooKoo can permaban Cas no questions asked.

[Resiliance]

There's nothing wrong with the mods you megalomanic bastards.

[apocalypse13]

hehe I don't have any problems with them either. Most threads they close have good reason behind them.

[PooKoo]

ya read my post at all?

[metalmaster362]

im starting to get bad pains in my fretting hand whenever i play is this tendonitis

and if it is is there anything i can do about it

[SnowballofDoom]

It might not be tendonitis, but it's bad, and is most likely a result of too much tension.

Dissect your technique and find out what the problem is. You may have to relearn your fretting technique, or at the least make a major adjustment. But something's not working right, and it's up to you to figure out what that something is (I'm 99% sure it's tension). Is it your hand that hurts or your wrist?

What leg do you play on? Try some of these positions and see if one of them works better for you:

[paddyo]

Ok, I'm putting this question in here in light of recent closing of certain threads *coughwhydammitwhy!!* and it probably has been done before...
Whats the largest crowd you've played(shred or fusion etc) for? What was their reaction?
I played for about 250 people. After it everyone was like "Woah! you never told us!" it was so cool,cant wait to play live again...:)

EDIT: Oh and a link to shredders united forum please,thanks.

[PooKoo]

abuot 300, talent show. ****in loved me. Seriously, it was all black people and crazy chicks, and drug people i know, they loved me, from then on i had the respect of every senoir, chick, stoner, and black drug dealer in my school. Played serrena and a bit of a jam, got me into a jazz guitqar class next year too, and a music class at my school typically only for seniors. Made everything in my life radder, and it was ****ing sick too. Can't wait to play something again.

[mr_clapton]

in about 8 weeks i am gonna be playing building the church in front of like 30 people does that count...

[PooKoo]

wheres that at?

[paddyo]

Yeah Pookoo I know what you mean! All the seniors in my school are like that to me now and it had the same effect on me too! Cool...Playing for non-shredders rules:p:...

[PooKoo]

yeah man, ****, now i even know some other shredders in my school. Even a bass player. It's great.

btw, if you all wouldnt mind, can ya check out my cover i put up? I learned it about 2 hours ago so its not the cleanest ive ever played, but i figure the only way to learn is from critisicm.

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=344782

im scared at what resi mos or stratwizard will say though.

[Stratwizard]

nah im just kidding dude, you've given me good crits so far.

:haha Actually a few seniors refered to me as "hero" and "God" and stuff like that as well...

[apocalypse13]

I'm trying to learn the Wedding March on keyboard. It's not as hard as I thought. The only part I'm really having trouble with is the trill on the middle and ring fingers.

And I've never played to an audience to answer the question. :(

[canadianshred]

Never played live :( still working on the chops

[priest.fan.]

me and my band have played live twice so far... the first was at an assembly at our school (and my school is pretty big, there must have been at least 1000 people there) and the second was at a fundraiser, where there were probably a few hundred or so. I count myself lucky, because there aren't that many good bands locally, so we get praised as being "musical gods" when we're not really that special :D

[Stratwizard]

:haha Actually a few seniors refered to me as "hero" and "God" and stuff like that as well...

Don't forget the chicks... ;)

yeah im not giggin no more either....i just did for a while to get my rep up...now im back workin on some more stuff tryin to get awesome before i gig again this summer

I actually had kids running behind me air guitaring! Not to mention the teachers!
I miss my school days :( college absolutely sucks :( :( :(

[Freepower]

Pah, im so used to admiration that i actually have a routine just to get people to leave me alone and play. No-one wants to hear real music anymore, its all this shred nonsense.

Till of course, my back's turned, and then i play "like a robot". Cruel people.

and you're so modest, too :p:

but yeah, its pretty much the same with any guitarist who actually takes it seriously these days >_> People are impressed waaay too easily

once, my friend (who isn't that great) brought his guitar to school in like grade 8, and played "smoke on the water" and "do the bearcat" all day long :haha he had this huge crowd of people following him around for weeks afterwards

[Matt_Malmsteen]

Oh god, I hate that..then again depends who watches, for example my mate played some A7X riffs once and he's apparently "a great guitarist", which he isn't, i've ajmemd with him...far..far from great..people are too easily impressed.

[TheUltimateSin]

^I know what you mean. Everyone says I'm "freakin' awesome", but I'm not that great. I think that clip I posted in the shred videos thread is about the best I can do as far as playing goes(minus the few minor mistakes, the out-of-tuneness at the end, and the crappy improvs, of course). I put something up in the original recordings section that showcases a bit of my own, but that too isn't much to brag about.

I completely agree with you: Some people are too easily impressed, and those people are the ones I live by.

[Master Of Shred]

I completely agree with you: Some people are too easily impressed, and those people are the ones I live by.

Of course, everyone has different standards, so do some people in this forum (as you have probably noticed at times :p: )

[TheUltimateSin]

I think that the main reason I seem so good to everyone around me is because there are no other guitar players in my town for them to compare me to, so they don't really know if I'm good, fair, bad, horrible, or whatever. But I have managed to influence at least 4 other people to go out and buy a guitar to learn how to play, so I guess that might be good.

Of course, and they usually don't listen to instrumental rock or something. And there aren't many "serious" musicians general per highschool, 1 (or maybe 2).

We have some really great guitarists in Amsterdam, also some who don't even study on musiccollege here, a friend of mine for an example, Robert, is a really kickass guitarist, but he doesn't study music or something.

I know exactly what you mean. I think I am the only person in my school who takes music and guitar seriously. For instance, I wanted to learn how to play because it took a strong hold in me and I was very curious and interested in learning all of the neat little tricks and such(such as pinch harmonics, sweeping, tapping), and just playing in general. But I mentioned before about influencing 4 other people to go out and buy guitars; they wanted to do it just because they think it'll make them look cool, which is what they see in me I guess. They think I'm a bit weird because of my serious attitude towards guitar and music. They just aren't used to a serious musician, as you put it.

There are a few guitarists(2/3) on my highschool who play Satriani/Vai stuff. One better than the other, though. (One pwning FTLOG solo, other still busy with Satch Boogie.)

But anyways, it's fun to jam with those guys, they don't know mucho theory though :(

[TheUltimateSin]

I know nill about theory as well :(

[Master Of Shred]

Then start NOW!! haha

[TheUltimateSin]

I'm working on it. Though I'm a huge procrastinator, I've been working my ass of to get it in gear and start learning.

[Master Of Shred]

Well, learning is one thing, now how to use it is another.(And to memorize)

Usually, when I learned some new bit of theory, I write a song using that.

[Master Of Shred]

Oh sold my RG btw, getting a new Excalibur for 1200 bucks muhahaha

I was, and no matter how much i clarify, you guys just dont get that fast is quantifiable and skill isnt.

I was FASTER, i just ate balls. You get me a vid of petrucci picking 281bpm powerchords, i'll retract that. :p: Speed =/= Shred. :)

[PooKoo]

Haha, no kidding.

Speaking of expensive gear...

I so totally want a Conford amp. Infact to my surprise I found out there is a dealer here in Columbia, very close to my house! I hope to go there sometime this spring break to see if they have any lying around I could try out (very unlikely). I did the math, if I get a summer job I'll have just about enough money for a Cornford Hurricane (The "gig worthy" harlequin). I so totally need to get a job, the tone of cornford amps (or at least all the recordings I've heard with one) are freaking eargasmic.

columbia?

Usually, when I learned some new bit of theory, I write a song using that.That's the best way to memorize it.

Well, that's what the disclaimer is for :D

Though to be honest, for the most part you can barely hear my cussing.

[PooKoo]

nah theyve heard worse from me

[TheUltimateSin]

Now if I had been all out screaming out the f-bomb, I probably might not have posted them. But it's just kinda under-the-breath stuff

[PooKoo]

dude after hearing that, i love you.

[TheUltimateSin]

I heart you too PK ;)

I might be able to make a career out of this, you know? Post all of my recorded outakes with the cussing and have people enjoy a good laugh.

[PooKoo]

oh and i scream much worse then the f bomb.

Nothing beats skaters though.

"***** ****** clit"
"Dont smoke marijuana!"
"**** splee rob halford"

etc. I love hanging out with black people.

[TheUltimateSin]

I guess I'm just a very frusterated individual :(

[Erc]

^ Which is why its so damn funny!!

Outake 5 was the best because you'd just hear a slip up and then "god damnit" and then another "****"...yea I laughed.

[canadianshred]

:haha i live in an all white area, in my school of 2000 ppl there are 3 black kids

[PooKoo]

I feel so bad for you.

[TheUltimateSin]

^^^I'm particularily fond of outake 5. Especially since on 4 I said that was the last one, but then I go and make 2 more anyway. I'm very stubborn

[splice]

oh and i scream much worse then the f bomb.

shame pookoo....shame......talking about jesus like that.......and on good friday too! :no:

[PooKoo]

i just realized, and i edited it actually.

But i love jesus, i never say anything bad about him.

[TheUltimateSin]

the more I dig around on my computer, the more of these I'm finding. I just found another Dee outake. This makes 7, and ther may be more yet. This is starting to bother me..:(

I'll just keep updating my site, gotta keep the laughs a-rolling you know?

[PooKoo]

dude im literally rofling right now. I wish you lived near me so i could hug you.

"Dooo doo da doo doooo FOR ****S SAKE! dwee"

made my night.

"doooooo dwthwark Ahhhhhghhhhh"

[TheUltimateSin]

Yeah, too bad I live in the freezing bluu****e state of Minnesota eh?

anyway, for easy access, I threw my site into my sig. Just trying to keep the spirit of the forum up, you know?

[splice]

i just realized, and i edited it actually.

But i love jesus, i never say anything bad about him.

aight...its cool :)

[PooKoo]

:cheers:

[TheUltimateSin]

yep...found 2 more and uploading them both so this makes a total of 9 so far. I think that's it for those. I can't seem to find any more Dee outakes. I did however find a few other recordings if anyone is interested.

[canadianshred]

of course were interested

[TheUltimateSin]

Hmm...after listening to them, what happened with these new ones is that they aren't humorous like my Dee outakes. These ones just suck horribly...well, except for my Mr. Crowley piece; everything goes fine with that one up until about halfway and sucks to the end. But what I found was:
Mr. Crowley
Nottingham Lace riff
Suicide Solution piece

[NevermorePsalm]

I fear posting my recordings. I got whipped by Resi the other day, so now it won't be happening until Resi says "Good job, now go ****ON PRACTICE MORE!"

[priest.fan.]

I, too, fear posting my recordings, but I try to look at it as a learning experience... I'm not really going to improve unless someone points me in the right direction.

:/

[TheUltimateSin]

Pff, if I was able to post mine, no matter how much I knew they sucked, you have nothing to worry about.........unless you're somehow worse than I am. But I doubt that very much :p:

[Stratwizard]

Oh c'mon guys... Don't be such pussies! :p: How much does it matter if someone flames you on an internet forum?

[NevermorePsalm]

lol, Ive posted recording, I just don't do it alot. Ill post an IA lick I've been working on this week.

onLy listened to the Crazy Train one and i think its quite good the way youve tried the Live Tribute intro but i think you just need to relax a little and study the verse riff a little more---your rhythym is slightly off on the plam muted open strings---i reckon with a bit of practise---alternate picking mainly---and a good transcription--powertab is always good---you can nail it.

I was sort of teaching a friend today and while i was explaining chord construction to him he said '' That's all A major is? A,C# and E-thats a bit limited isnt it?''
To which i responded with--triplet rythym by the way, obviously highnotes are tapped!--

I'll post a recording someday relatively soon. Actually no, maybe after the summer. The Oscar Peterson solo (just friends) on guitar is hella hard. It's a great technical exercise though and I recommend it to everybody, a lot of non-standard shred licks in there. No boring 3note per string scalar runs in there!

BTW went to the store today looking to play a Cornford. None were there =(. Played a dual recto instead. Ugh, those cleans suck the **** (not that its a clean amp anyways) and the distortion is a little to bassy for me though it wasn't too bad. Yea, just thought I'd throw that out there.

[PooKoo]

ill put a recording up in a little, just a couple licks or something.

[TheUltimateSin]

After reviewing as many of the accurate tabs as I could, and after countless hours of listening to Randy's live performance of the song, I've concluded that he only hits the open A note twice every time during the main riff. But, I will admit I fudged it a few times on my recording. My alternate picking kinda blows, so that is why I haven't gone after the alternate thrice picked A, because I can't work the timing or the rhythm right.

But thanks for the positive outlook. It's goes much appreciated :)


EDIT: You've only listened to that one? Dude, you have to check out my Dee outakes if you're in need of a good laugh; everyone else got one, myself included ;)

How's your custom tube amp coming?

[priest.fan.]

today, I decided that I'm going to seriously apply myself to learning how to learn how to sweep pick. I've been doing excercises like this -

e-------------14---------------------15--------
b----------15---15---------------15----------------------
g-------14---------14---------14----------------------
d----16---------------16---16-----------------------------
a-17---------------------17------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------

e-------------12-15-12--------------------------
b----------13------------13---------------------------
g-------14-------------------14--------------------
d----15--------------------------15-12--------------------
a----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------

are these good for improving sweeping? anyone else got any good sweep excercises? I've always been sort of lazy when it came to sweeping, so I'm trying to get my ass in gear lol

[PooKoo]

what helped me was chromatically doing one position up and down the neck.


the second one works very well for it, or if you reverse it, that gives it a nice counterbalance thing

id tab out some but ug never lets me tab things./

[SnowballofDoom]

Whoa, I've been practicing the first shape a lot myself.

Are you comfortable with sweeping yet? I just stuck with practicing a 3nps sweep shape in one direction until I got comfortable with it, then practicing the other direction, and finally putting them together fluidly. But I think you're farther along than that...?

I still think Altitudes and No Boundaries have great sweep picking sections that work well for building speed with sweeps, maybe look into those? I'm not a huge fan of sweep picking (at least in the way most people use it), but learning those two songs have helped my sweep picking technique a lot.

[TheUltimateSin]

yay...I made a second attempt at the ol' Crazy Train for anyone who cares. This time, I completely left out the fills altogether to avoid a crapiness multiplier. I personally think it went a little better than the first time, even though I still ****ed up here and there. And no, PooKoo, you don't get to hear me swearing in this one.................my amp was loud enough to conceal it ;). I also plan to re-record my short Mr. Crowley bit and throw it up there sometime today...if I ever get a decent version recorded, that is....

EDIT:.....well...after an agonizing 9 takes, i finally got the most decent recording of Crowley that is possible for me today. It seems ok up until the pre-solo on out; then it blows. I dropped my pick to try to tap the solo, since there is no way in hell I am capable of picking it at my current skill level....I am only a Level 2 guitar player with a +3 guitar. But yeah....have a good laugh :)

[apocalypse13]

I'm sittin in Cleveland hoes.

[Erc]

How's your custom tube amp coming?


It's TOTALLY just sitting up there. Its finished and all, everything made, it even makes sound. Tested it through some PA system speakers and all that, everything is stable. Even modded it a little. But then I got lazy. I ordered 2 103db The Wizard speakers, and now they are just sitting up stairs doing nothing. In short, all I have to do is go out and buy wood, build a cabinet and it would be 100% finished but...yea.

Interestingly enough though, my father and I were talking about it in the car today and it sounds like we're actually gonna start building the cabinet relatively soon, hopefully tomorrow since I hope to go out and buy the wood I need then.

Oh and in short on the tone of the thing (through the PA speakers, don't know how good it'll sound through the actually guitar speakers) it does a great classic rock crunch which was expected, it even does a good slayer sound. Its too trebely though but when I stop being lazy and order the resistors and capacitors I need I'll mod it to be bassier and more mids. I also need to redo all the grounding because I didn't star-ground it the first time through =(, so it gets squeal at maxed out gain.

Of course all this requires me getting up off my ass, and hopefully I'll do that tomorrow but....well I'm unconsiously good at procrastinating.

[SnowballofDoom]

Haha, same here.

But that sounds very cool, keep us posted when you're ready to start up again :)

--I think you can imagine his face when he realised just how much milage there is in the humble old triad...



can you explain that to me? how you came up with that lick?

[Erc]

He just took the 3 notes, found the 3 notes on one string on the guitar and tapped it. Like the 12 on the Low E string is E, the 5th fret on the Low E is A and the 9th fret is a C#. He just found the 3 notes on each strong in a tappable form and tapped them out.

[Night_Lights]

^oh ok (too lazy to try it out on guitar) so basically its those 3 notes all over the fretboard

[NevermorePsalm]

Cornford....I'm in love with those amps. Hellcat for me, maybe a Harlequin. But it won't be for awhile unless I can work up the money.

[Night_Lights]

saving up for a genz benz combo myself

[NevermorePsalm]

yeah, but I've really been begging to see if I can grab up a Suhr or Vigier in a few years.

[Erc]

^ I'd get a nice amp before a nice guitar. I already made the mistake of getting a nice guitar and a **** amp.

[apocalypse13]

tru dat

[PooKoo]

someone help me pick out a new amp. No idea on what would be good. Think paul gilberts tones, his versatality, from twangy to crunchy to screaming distortion to 6 billion people kind of overdriven but clean.

[apocalypse13]

Price Range?

[PooKoo]

at this point, i have -100 dollars, so up to 2 thou i guess.

[apocalypse13]

A good amp is usually 1200 or higher.

But, idk, what's your wattage? Like how many watts are you wanting?

[PooKoo]

nothing too big, just something with a damn nice tone, and i said , up to 2000 at most i guess. little more wont matter.

[SnowballofDoom]

Probably a Laney something or other would be your best bet for Gilbert tone.

Resi knows a lot about them.

[PooKoo]

yeah thats what i was thinking.

[priest.fan.]

laney GH50L or something (I believe it's the one that gilbert uses, not 100% sure)

edit: wait, you looking for a combo or a stack?

[apocalypse13]

www.rocksolidamps.com w/ sound clips :)

[Resiliance]

Paul Gilbert uses the GH100L.

I have teh GH50L... What you want is a GH50L and your volume pot wired so high frequencies don't drop off if you roll the volume back.

Volume pot = instant gain & dynamics control.

[Erc]

^ Absolute truth to that.

Especially with a good amp. There is one thing good that you can steal from SS modeling amps and thats a certain resistor and capactior setup I think on the 2nd pin of the tube (can't remember) from the input jack. It can take you from beautiful cleans to mesa distortion.

Anyways yea, a laney would do your best bet for a Gilbert tone because he plays a laney ^_^.

I've never gotten a chance to play a laney, just curious...how are the cleans? Detailed description (or sound clip if anyone may).

BTW its amazing how something so small like loosely fisting your hand can improve your picking technique (or at least for me). Me having my fingers spread apart and slightly up caused quite a bit of tension in my hand and now thats all gone! Hopefully I've worked out everything...though I'm sure there is more somewhere =(

[Stratwizard]

Volume pot = instant gain & dynamics control.

Yeah, that's an awesome way to change your sound completely in second.

is there any equivelant to that thats not a stack? I'm just curious, it'd probably be easier that way.

[Resiliance]

Nope, there ain't unfortunately.

[PooKoo]

alright, no problem then. Thanks so much for all your help, now maybe in 3 years ill have good tone.

[Stratwizard]

Can someone suggest me a good hard tail guitar suitable for shred?

[Resiliance]

Budget?

[Stratwizard]

Anything under 2000 ?.

[Resiliance]

PGM301 :p:

Or a nice Carvin.

[wil]

OK, I finally decided to learn Vais Boston rain melody todayand although im geting on very well with it---great four finger legato work outs!--but theres one bit where he starts tapping in '10s'---its actually 10:8-i dont know the technical term-nondecaduplet--and being totally self taught, im not too hot on the old subdivisions--I know a straight run of 32nd notes '10's at the songs slow tempo isnt massively taxing but im struggling with how to 'count' the rythym--my metronome doesnt do divisions of 10---so how would any of you approach it?
Counting 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5 feels really unnatural to me, im getting on better counting 1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,4 but im still not satisfied...

Does that make a word of sense???

[Stratwizard]

PGM301 :p:

Or a nice Carvin.

Uh, no PGM for me. It seems a little bit overpriced.

Gotta check out the Carvins though.

[Master Of Shred]

Selling your JEM?

In case you don't know, they're a bit overpriced as well(still great guitars though) :p:

[pavan]

500 USD extra for signature guitars..........

[Stratwizard]

Selling your JEM?

In case you don't know, they're a bit overpriced as well(still great guitars though) :p:

IMO JEM isn't that overpriced. I mean, it has a lot of features that a standard RG hasn't. But of course there's the "signature extra"

No, I'm not selling it. Just looking for another guitar.

[Resiliance]

PGM overpriced?

PGM's are like half of what JEM's and the like cost and are imo much better :p:

[Master Of Shred]

Try a Vigier Excalibur Supra :)

[Stratwizard]

How much are they?

[pavan]

$3000

[Stratwizard]

Ouch. Too expensive.

[Master Of Shred]

$3000

lol no :p:

The Supra is pretty much the cheapest Excalibur, not because of it's playbility, but because of it's looks. They still look pretty okay if you ask me though, pretty much the Excalibur Special without burst and matching headstock.

http://www.tonemerchants.com/images/Vigier_Supra_SN040207_268x555.jpg

Here's en Excalibur Special:(In the color that I have.)

http://www.tonemerchants.com/images/20_Spcl_SN010490_250x500.jpg

No much difference if you ask me, you're really lucky if you can get the Supra under 2000?, but it's worth the try.

[Master Of Shred]

Pics taken of tonemerchats btw

[Stratwizard]

They look pretty okay IMO.

[Master Of Shred]

I was just talking about the 1st one though, that's a Supra. 2nd one is a Special, which is more expensive.

Okay looking, godly playbility, I say "why not"

[Stratwizard]

Did you try your Vigier before you bought it?

[Master Of Shred]

Yeah I did, I just browsed through the Vigier site and I noticed that there isn't a dealer in finland, so I guess you have no choice but to order it. (if you want it of course.)

I'm pretty sure that you'll love it, you have to get used to the extremely flat neck in the beginning though, but after that it's rockin'.

[Master Of Shred]

Most people actually ordered it before they ever played one, and they all loved it.

[Resiliance]

Stop double posting you fag :p:

Edit button is being a bitch

[Stratwizard]

Yeah I did, I just browsed through the Vigier site and I noticed that there isn't a dealer in finland, so I guess you have no choice but to order it. (if you want it of course.)

Yeah, that's the problem. I definately want to test the guitar before i buy it. :(

[Master Of Shred]

Yeah, is there some kind of big finnish guitar forum?

If so, try to ask there.

[Stratwizard]

There are few, but only retards post there. :p:

[Master Of Shred]

Oh that sucks, go on another holiday and make sure that there are dealers :p:

[PooKoo]

Satch in about 7 hours now.

Andi want a vigier...

[Stratwizard]

Well, I'm not buying it very soon, so I still have time to think about it.

[Master Of Shred]

Yeah okay cool, but I forgot that you played death/black metal, and I don't think that Vigiers will be great for that :p: (At least not that Excaliburs, maybe the Marilyn, though, Necrophagist dude used one.)

[Stratwizard]

Yeah okay cool, but I forgot that you played death/black metal, and I don't think that Vigiers will be great for that :p: (At least not that Excaliburs, maybe the Marilyn, though, Necrophagist dude used one.)

Lol I play a lot of other genres too. I just like metal most. :p: Basically, any guitar with powerful pickups are good for metal.

[PooKoo]

btw, stratwizard, i listened to the stuff you put up, twas very good. Excellent tone specially.

[Stratwizard]

Thanks man. :cheers: Those are old songs though. I'm looking forward to putting some new ones up, when I have time to record.

[PooKoo]

cant wait to hear em, got a good sound.

[HammerForce]

In the Ebay gem thread guitar forum there was a link to an excalibur which sold on ebay for something like 1700 swiss francs which (according to XE.com) is about 730 quid :D

[Master Of Shred]

1700? is for about 2000$ :p:

[NevermorePsalm]

I want a vigier very, very much. Because we all know I'm in love with Lane. And Thal. Damn you MOS and your 3 albums. I wish I could upload my Dimeola albums for your in turn. :(

[Master Of Shred]

3 albums?

Who ever said that I only had 3? :p:

I said that I only uploaded 3 in total to UG ;)

Who are you on SU btw? That tri-tone idiot? :p:

[NevermorePsalm]

oh, I love you too.

[Master Of Shred]

<3

Anyways, upload those Di Meola albums. (happen to have any album with the SUPER guitar trio?)
