wow! lucky guy and SMS kicks ass, i wish jason becker didn't get ALS and there was still Cacophony, who knows what they could have come up with.

[IgnoreThis]

^i heard that hes very slightly recovered a while ago, i think i head that he could talk, but, sadly, he might never get back to guitar :sad:

[Resiliance]

^He can't talk... That would be more than a slight recovery, more like a medical miracle...

[IgnoreThis]

^i think he did have some kind of slight recovery though, i heard it from this site.

[spee]

he didn't really have a recovery, he's just not doing any worse, the last thing i heard was that they put a pipe in his throat so he could breathe better... he can still make music using a computer though (perspective)

[Master Of Shred]

But that album came out 8 years ago

[The UG Squirrel]

i heard somewhere that jackson would be making a jason becker signature guitar, but i havent heard it anywhere else

u think its bull****?

[Resiliance]

Peavey were going to make him one... But then he got sick and they decided not to.

[spee]

I believe a company was also in the works on making a custom wah-wah.... and maybe we would know more if they updated their site.

[The UG Squirrel]

i hope there will be a jason becker signature series - that would kick ass

[jasonbecker]

^^yeah, and not too expensive for us poor children.;)

:cheers:

[metallikatt]

hi everyone ive been here before but im starting to get into shred and ive been playing 1.5 years now and im thinking of buying this jackson dinky http://www.jacksonguitars.com/gear/gear.php?partno=DKMG_Dinky and ive played acouple ibanez rgs around the same amount of money and i was wondering whats your opinion of this guitar and any suggestions in the 400-750 dollar price range. and of coarse im swapping those emg hzs for 81s and 85s if i get it :) thanks everybody :cheers:

[Master Of Shred]

^that one is quite nice. altough I would get a RG.

[Stratwizard]

My suggestion would be RG. I've played those lower end Jackson's and they don't satisfy me. That's only my opinion though.

[IgnoreThis]

I'd get an Ibanez RG if i had the money, ah well....

Arrr.

[DirgeForTheSun]

I severely dislike low end jacksons, so go RG

[metallikatt]

thanks all. i shall spend 6 hours at guitar center one day comparing both these guitars and decide what fits me the most

[pavan]

i have been playing guitar for 2 yrs, please tell me what you think of this :

http://pavankk.dmusic.com/

[Freepower]

Um guitaring from hell gets boring after a while, because of the rhythym and not the lead. Try and put as much effort into your rhythym playing as your lead. Now, fairs fair, crit something of mine on my dmusic (pssst, its in my sig).

[pavan]

^^ I like your glorious noise, dance metal ( now there's an idea!), forever. I need to listen to more, theyre lots. thanks anyway. i cant really find fault in anything. they're all good.

[Freepower]

Fear my huge grin!

Aye, they're the more metal songs we do, but dance metal is just madness. Sheer madness. Can anyone here play that fast upside-down? ;)

Glad you liked it, especially considering i actually wasnt very nice at all about your recordings!

[IgnoreThis]

^The Hobo Blues! \../(- -)\../

[Metalology]

I discoverd shred by...

My Dad played put Surfing with the Alien on in the car one day. I discovered Steve Vai in the Crossroads movie. I discovered Malmsteen with G3.

[sixteen times]

I discovered shred.... um..... probably from the "Crossroads" movie.

During the climax to the film, where the young kid battles against Vai and after he has done those arpeggios and plays the fast bit around the 14-17th frets had me mesmerised (sp? :p: ) the day I saw it and still does now, even though I can almost play it all.

:cheers:

[Stratwizard]

I discovered shred, when I came into this shred forum. Then I went to Vai's site to download some short clips of his songs.

[Freepower]

Holy ****, im winning guitar-respect on the shred forum! :bonk:

Thanks man, it means a lot to me! Wish me luck in the blues comp!

And so that it doesnt look like im turning this thread into my personal promotion thread, im not into shred, but there's shred i like.

Eg, satch, cooley, and one of resi's songs is ****ing awesome.

Im only around the shred forum because of the higher level of intelligence and technique - im sick of reading threads asking about pinch harmonics, i want to learn the really crazy stuff!

(pssst, today i did some amazing sweep and tap arpeggios! At about 3nps, where they sound tasteful).

Scary news - fareri played slowly is beautiful. Maybe he has faster ears than us and hears the melody better?

[sixteen times]

I must hear this slow fareri...

[Freepower]

no, no, fareri PLAYED slow, he just plays it too ****ing fast all the time. I found one of his exercises on chops from hell really nice until he played it all fast. Thats where that statement came from.

[jiveasshonky]

all he is doing is playing arpeggios up and down the neck, of course it sounds musical played slowly its the job of the musician to make it sound musical. becker was good at it, fareri is not.

[Freepower]

indeedy, but hes chosen some nice arps and nice voicings. Its just when he plays so fast it gets ****e - imagin them at about 15nps, great stuff!

[wanker23]

some people obviously dont know their boundries, ferrari is one of those

[Freepower]

what makes you say that?

[wanker23]

this :

Originally posted by jiveasshonky

[Stratwizard]

^What's wrong with that?

[wanker23]

it doesnt sound interesting anymore. at least not for me

[Stratwizard]

I can't get enough of listening Fareri. I'm probably the only guy here, who likes him. :p:

[Freepower]

Oh, i dont know how he sounds in a song context except for suspension, which i really didnt like.

Its silly to say he doesnt know his boundries by saying all he does is play arps up and down the neck - unless i've misunderstood - please explain.

[evac|DB]

Jason Becker's Serrana (the "original" one) is pretty much only arpeggios up and down the neck, still people seem to like it. ;)

But I do agree about Fareri; the stuff I heard him play is pretty boring. One of his videos really surprised me, though, when he started playing some nice slap guitar. I haven't heard any of his songs but he has the potential to make good music.

[Freepower]

Yeh, whats his actual songs like? Hes probably insecure and feels the need to show off. Even cooley's vids are just chop fests.

And the slap really suprised me as well! I have that vid on a huge DVD of awesome guitarists, which i made using nero.

[godofshred]

whoa..what song..and who? sorry.its all bitted about the forum..whic i havent attended for a loooonnnng time!

[Resiliance]

Well, it didn't surprise me....



It's so bad that all of you seem to think a musician can only do one thing(in this case Fareri), when you don't even know that musician in person, and YET feel able to pass judgement on his abilities/capacities/possibilities.

Let the man do what he likes, insecure or not.

(Though I severely doubt the insecurity)

I wouldn't be surprised if he made immensely beautiful slow pieces earlier in his life, and then passed on to the stage he is now. To each his own, because what he plays now IS probably immensely beautiful to him.





-P.S.: And godofshred, what do I see in your sig? Anti Blackened-club?

For gods sake, grow up.

[godofshred]

^hell..its not my idea..tis master of shreds!

[Blackened-World]

what a suprise

[godofshred]

^ is it? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[Resiliance]

I don't care who's idea it is, it's ****ing childish.

[godofshred]

ah **** it....i cant be arsed with arguements...

[Blackened-World]

i find it amusing

[godofshred]

really??? and why would this be?

[Blackened-World]

oh come on. Anti blackened world club? are we 4 years old?

no girls allowed i bet.

[godofshred]

yes...you are four years old...girls are welcome :D

[Blackened-World]

can i join

[godofshred]

only some girls are allowed!:D try pm'ing wanker23 and see what he says:Dlol

[Freepower]

Seriously, id join!
Sorry blackened-world, but your so obviously a complete arsehole with no sense of humour, etc, etc.

And John Kimble is a poof? Was that MOS's idea too?

Do you have ideas of your own?
And also, a steve vai fan club? Well, im afraid your probably the worst advert for that. I mean, would Vai endorse starting silly hate clubs? What are you going to do? Gang up on blackened world and hurt his feelings? I mean, by the sounds of things, your best possible insult involved spelling amazing. Nice one, but he beat you to the sarcasm mark, mate. Double sarcasm doesnt work.

I mean, honestly, i do encourage you to try and start this club, but i think that he will simply own you, over and over again, let alone this board laughing at you. How do you feel having yourself ridiculed in a stickied thread? Real smart.






Anyway, resi, i've only seen 2 people do slap guitar, and i wouldnt have expected fareri to know it. Then again, he does have excellent technical abilities in all areas.
I dont think hes insecure for stupid reasons, i read an article by him where he sounded very...lol, insecure. BUt he has no need to be, as far as im concerned.
With a faster ear, im sure i'd find his stuff far more interesting, and i know fine well he enjoys what he's doing, otherwise he wouldnt do it.
And as for judging him, those are our opinions of him, personally, i think what i've heard is crap (exremely chop-filled crap). Thats that. Thats also why i was asking for a description of his actual songs, other than suspension.





FINALLY, me and axegrinder#9 have a collab up in Original Recordings. As one would expect, i get uber-pwned on guitar, but hey. Mixed reviews, some hate, some love.

Also, the blues competition is going strong, and id encourage you to vote, as there havent been enough votes at all. And one of my songs is up. Dont mind if you dont vote for it, just take a look!

[Blackened-World]

^ dude, i like you. whats your hotmail adress

[Freepower]

lol, dont use hotmail, but i'll PM you with my real email address, an honour held by few.

A.K.A you have no friends:)

[Freepower]

Lol, yeh, my guitar and my gf eat up most of my time, if i wasnt such a nice guy i would have no-one but my guitar and gf.

Why am i such a nice guy? ;)

Nah, i have loads of friends, school and school related activities should take up about 7 hours a day, but i relegate that to friend time, and then theres guitar time from when i come home till about 9 (interspersed with computer games time, but atm we have nothing worth playing that much), and then i talk to my gf for about the next 3 hours on the phone. Then i sleep.

Seriously, music and my woman is my life at the minute.



EDIT: Im giving this information out because currently i am staying up all night to get my sleeping patterns right, and companionship on msn or a chat in this thread would be appreciated, ill be refreshing this thread regularly to see if anyone wants a chat.

EDIT 2: Could the third person that called me a badass today please reply to this? Perferably by repeating "you badass" as the thread i was in was deleted while typing a response. About downloading becker and charity? Thanks!

Anyway, so far -

No, seriously, can i join?
Do we have parades?
How are we gonna fight that bastard?
Ever since he said he liked me, i've been out to kill him! No-one compliments ME!
Btw, i've re-done my country rap speed metal song. Its up on my dmusic and the lyrics are

"Yo, bizzles, here to trizzle the shizzle, smizzle yo bizzles all over tha hizzle

Cant fizzle with this shizzle, the pigs don?t touch this nigga foolz!"

Look at it at your doom!

[wanker23]

yeah, we have tea-partys every sunday moring. and we're gonna fight him with knife and fork.

[Freepower]

****, it'll never work. Have you seen the size of his hair? look in the avatar! We're gonna need a ****in chainsaw! Or my rapping skillz! THOSE will cut ANYONE down to size, especially that patronising moron.

"No girls allowed, i guess?"

Well, DUH girls are allowed in dip****, duh blackened, our meetings are tea parties!

[Resiliance]

^I'm his friend :p:

[Freepower]

Lol, as in my friend or blackeneds? Either would make you look bad now, mate, im insane from lack of sleep and the tide of noobs is against blackened.

[Stratwizard]

What the hell? I'm away for one ****ing day and some noobs already form clubs against Blackened? :confused:

[Master Of Shred]

yeah lol. anyways keep on topic :)

[Freepower]

So, shred!
(psst MOS, whats with the noobzilla sig? Unless you actually dont like blackened and do like Vai, in which case, fair nuff.)

Who was the first shredder? What were his influences and why was it shred?

Trivia - a jazz guitarist "invented" tapping not EVH. I say "invented" because its probably been done before him too.

[pavan]

people, please forgive my ignorance, i know i will get flamed, but anyway, who sings in becker's meet me in the morning??

There has been Violinist shredders for centuries, Paganini being one of the more famous ones.

Paganini's playing was such that he was thought to be associated with the devil.


:cheers:

[DirgeForTheSun]

It was also rumored that he murdered his wife and made strings with her organs.....thats so kvlt

[MrScary07RR]

no, dont change the subject. post your damn recording. im still waiting.

[Master Of Shred]

To thechosendrum :

Dont spam thank you. reported

[Freepower]

Nah, the thread IS random, what you mean is advertising.

Anyway, first guitar shredder? We all know pagi.

[Frank Zappa]

Steve vai is the best shredder but i also like alexi laiho out os children of bodom and kirk hammets solo in ONE

[TheI7ark]

Ahhh but what pray tell was the point of that post?

Anyways... Paganini probably wasn't the first shredder... Just the first shredder that we know of. :peace:

[Stratwizard]

Bah! The whole question is stupid. Of course we can't know who was the first shredder.

[Freepower]

Indeed, people always forget that we dont know everything.

So, heres a nice question - which shredder has the best RHYTHYM playing?

I like cooleys, but please feel free to ignore. Nuno's funk also rules.

[Stratwizard]

Steve Vai.

Gilbert has no competition for me in that area.

[Freepower]

Yeh, actually, forgot gilbert. Now THATS a stupid sentance.

[TheI7ark]

^Agreed on Gilbert. Though Steve Vai can put out some pretty nice rythym at times...

[jasonbecker]

John Petrucci is a kick ass rhythm player.

[Freepower]

lol, good point, not my taste, but good rhythym player, hell yes.

Still cant beat kerry king... :)

[Blackened-World]

lmfao kerry king is a joke. as is master of shred.

[Freepower]

Woah, now calm down.
My Kerry king comment was a joke, remember? No need to point it out.
That "lmfao" sounded like a bitter laugh at MOS - why bother?

And he's no joke, old MOS, hes a nice guy and he plays better than me. Calling him a joke for those two things, well, **** you, that makes me a joke too. And more of a joke, considering he plays better shred than myself.

Now, say he did fake that recording, do i care? Nope, i like the guy. And not just coz he voted for me in the blues comp, but because of who he is. Adding "One-time fake" to the end of how i describe him will make no difference to me now.

So, you either call me a joke, and try and fight this extremely "goodie-two-shoes" posts inherent niceness, or you just let the ****er go and make your bitter jokes with a good post either before or after them.

On goes Freepower's "trying to be meaningful" ranting.:p:

[Freepower]

lol, nah, the situation is annoying, and i still want into the anti-blackened world club, was that post nasty enough? ;)

[jasonbecker]

I find it funny how childish some people can be on forums...a ****ing hate club? Come on, I mean I like did that kind of thing in 2nd grade...

edit: Freepower, I remember you saying you respect MOS cause he's a better guitarist, so will you be my friend if I send you a clip of me?;)

[Blackened-World]

aww whats wrong MOS, not anti - blackened anymore? that was quite the club. I can sure tell you guys arent very absorbed into proving me wrong. just like guitar playing. half of the people here arent focused or abstracted into guitar playing or shredding. which would explain why half of the posts here end in arguments.

ask yourself this. if you dont play guitar for more than 2 hours a day, do you feel guilty? does 60% of your mind consist of the fretboard? does simply looking at the guitar make you wanna play it?

end your stupid club and end this bull****. post the recording and STOP FUCKING AROUND.

[The UG Squirrel]

i feel guilty if i dont play enough...its kinda hard to find time with the work at a selective school though

Lol, no, but ill respect your guitaring...and respect goes a long way!

Im very focused on making music and not at all focused on shredding, i play how ever many hours a day i can paly creatively, and half the posts on this website turn into arguments because some people take this far too seriously. What does it matter to you? Have you a grudge against MOS? He push you over in the playground earlier?

And MOS, post the recoring, we dont care and he does, lets let him have his precious recording, and whether its you or not we can listen to some shred, k? :)

Fear my trying to be reasonable rant!

[kyle_afi]

I love watching you f*ckers argue. I'm in Europe and this is the first time I've touched a comp in a week.

Nice...

And freepowers been banned after all that reasonable stuff, lol...

Vai live...class! I bet you only hear the best of him live.

Dunno, check his posts...

If you have personal business, you can still probably email him...

[Stratwizard]

I get it. He made a penis size thread in The Pit.

:(

[evac|DB]

Boredom 1, Freepower 0. ;)

[bass meister]

I wouldnt worry, he'll be back, and besides, he can still see whats going on, just not post anything. All he can do is watch us chat about him. So id recommend not slagging just because he's gone.

Yeah. He will have his revenge, when he comes back... ;)

Qestion: re there really shred GUITARS???

[kyle_afi]

^^ No, there's not guitars that are actually called shred guitars, but there are guitars that are better designed for shredding.

[Freepower]

IM UNBANNED MOTHER****ERS! TIME FOR SOME SERIOUS BADASSERY!

Yeh, i looked in my email, and sure enough, i was unbanned! No explanation, but im glad to be back before my time!
Id hug you guys if i wasnt so badass, some people actually cared I was gone...but now dreadnoughts been banned...did he offer himself up instead of me or wtf happened?

Anyway, to stop the spam - there are certainly guitars better for shredding, but there are some that will stop dead any attempt to shred. I've played some amazingly bad guitars in my time, with frets the size of speed bumps, and that comparison is accurate!

[TheI7ark]

Welcome back Free :cheers:

Lets give some examples of common Shred guitars:

Ibanez RG series
Ibanez S series
Ibanez Jem series
Jackson DKMG series
Jackson DXMG series
Kramer's
Carvin's

What did I miss?

[Freepower]

Conklin 8 and 9 strings...


drool...

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

x2^missed Ibanez Universe too

[TheI7ark]

^ Also missed

Ibanez JS series
Ibanez PGM

:bonk:

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^speaking of JS's, you also missed the Ibanez Radius series..

[TheI7ark]

Ok... I think the list is long enough... It's a good start :p:

Now that I've been thoroughly owned by Wylde's guitar knowledge...

In Seven days 1 hour and 15 minutes I get to see Vai :D

Now that I've been thoroughly owned by Wylde's guitar knowledge...

23 hours untill i see steve vai:D :cheers:

[Blackened-World]

^remember to tell us how awesome it was

[TheI7ark]

Is it just me or has it become a Fad for little Classic Rock fans to come in here and insult every single shred guitarist in history? :eek:

[neox the cow]

Yea thats about right. Anger they can't play shred perhaps?

[Stratwizard]

^They probably can't understand or feel shred, since they're used to that D, A, G chord sequence sh*t.

[Freepower]

Shred has a different feel to it, as does metal, gabba, hardcore, etc.

They just dont like shred. And they dont see why we do. That, and a lot shred is ****e, so obviously, if they hear someone who exists only on chops then its gonna really piss them off.

EDIT: Go www.theberzerker.com, go to the sounds section, and download massacre - did you enjoy that? Bet not, did it just sound like noise? Did you feel it? Now, thats obviously not technical enough to be interesting, but go look at the tab. You downpick that fast, go on, i dare ya!

"UG shred forum massacre riff attempt"

Secretly, i also just want a recording of that riff without drums and stuff.

[Stratwizard]

I liked the drums, but the singing was hilarious. It sounded like a Donald Duck on slow-mo. :p:

[Freepower]

Their drummer...*freepower looks scared*

What do you want to know? Next album contains songs at 330bpm+. 22nps guitaring, and that's technically rhythym.

The singing, lol, you have to treat as another instrument, it sounds to me like two wild boar on speed in a blender.

[Stratwizard]

What is their genre?

[Freepower]

its known as "industrial death metal" - they're the only band that sound like that atm - completely unique sound, different musical ideas in each song, one of my three favourite bands, the others being muse and RHCP.

Lets give some examples of common Shred guitars:

Ibanez RG series
Ibanez S series
Ibanez Jem series
Jackson DKMG series
Jackson DXMG series
Kramer's
Carvin's

What did I miss?

imo, you missed the esp kh2, its an amzing guitar, quite fast imo. and schecter guitars are awsome for shredding as weel, i cant wait to try out the damien 6FR, that is going to kick ass

[Stratwizard]

Is there a one? That would be really sweet thing to see.

I got mine on Limewire, its pretty amazing, he plays with the guitar between his legs and shows off a lot.:D
(7 hours and a half untill vai)

Edit: I'm off to Vai :headbang:

[The UG Squirrel]

what guitar does he have?

[spee]

I just got back from seeing Vai and my ears are still ringing. It was such an amazing show and was definetely a good first time experience. Eric Sardinas kicked ass and got the crowd involved a lot. Vai was... VAI. He was just incredible, Lotus Feet is officially the new FTLOG:D and the new arrangement for FTLOG was great. It was an amazing show and the croud was totally into it.

It's on TLGOJB, his "instructional", yet more of a biography video.

[Millerus]

http://nick9.dmusic.com

Metal Fungus has some sweep-tap arpeggios and a few fast licks.

I saw Vai in Montreal it's the best concert ever. I touched his cowboy boot when he crowd surfed!

[Stratwizard]

It really needs some delay or reverb, now it sounds little bit boring. The playing gets better towards the end, cause in the beginning the notes are not in time very well. The sweeped part is very good, but you should get some dynamic to your playing. Learn some tapping and alternate picking, then your shredding would be more versatile.

:cheers:

[Beckerism]

hey spree think you can send that becker talent show to me?
:D

anyways, can anyone play the sweep/arpeggio stuff on serrana? the video of him playing it on jasonbecker.com is amazing. :eek:

[TheI7ark]

^You should see the video of him playing Paganini's 5th caprice. I about ****e myself when I saw it... :p:

[Beckerism]

where did you see the pag 5th at? i want to watch it.:cheers:

[TheI7ark]

I found it on Limewire. I believe it's off of TLGOJB though.

[Beckerism]

what is "TLGOJB" i searched it on google and nothing came up.:confused:

[Freepower]

Totally Laughably Great Orgasmic Jason Becker, i presume.

The Legendery Guitar of Jason Becker, maybe, something like that.

[Freepower]

Anyone care for a dmusic exchange? Crit a few of my songs and then ill crit yours...and make them of decent length. Just leave a comment and PM me, ill get round to you. Im a member of the original recordings group, you can trust me!

Yeah, i know, he was going to record the rest of it but he's got a couple of jams going and other stuff too. I think he might have played it to me over the mic but i forget.:bonk:

It's all good.
:cheers:

Well, on a more shreddish topic...who here practices shredding on an acoustic? I do it to strengthin my fingers.

[spee]

i have a classical which kinda makes it easier to play.. so sometimes i will play on my little brothers sharp (dirty, disgusting) strings to strengthen my fingers, only problem is it only goes up to the 12th fret.:bonk:

[TheI7ark]

^ Naw... I've got plenty of finger strength from climbing...Crack climb and do tiny finger holds and trust me... Your fingers will be plenty strong =P

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Originally posted by jasonbecker

I do everyday, it really helps Strengthn my Fingers..

[metallikatt]

yes i shred on meh alvarez all the time...makes meh fingers strong

[jasonbecker]

Good, I'm not the only one...

[Freepower]

i play sometimes on my fathers awful nylong stringed acoustic, which has no access to frets 12-16 due to a lack of cutaway, and its can be used as a fretless (practically) by playing without fretting, so i generally use it for really random stuff.

[pavan]

i play on a veena, a centuries old indian instrument, very good for strengthening the fingers.( my veena instructor will kill me the next time i do any tapping on it)

i think people like john mc laughlin got the idea of scalloped frets from indian instruments like the sitar
pl forgive me if i am wrong

[The UG Squirrel]

i think malmsteen got the idea from a lute, i also think ritchie blackmores guitars are scalloped, i may be wrong though

[Beckerism]

:D ya i just misread. sorry.:)

edit, just watched his highschool talent show and live in japan and im thinking, is it possible to be better than he at his age?

[Blackened-World]

i dont play on acoustics, because i want to use the least amount of pushing and tension possible. you will naturally push down harder when you jump from acoustic to electric. the only thing i use on acoustic is dynamics... cant fit many dynamics on distorted guitar

[public property]

i read that malmsteen got the idea from a lute, thats wierd though cause lutes aren't normally scalloped, trust me I know a lute maker.

[Freepower]

I read he got it from another instrument where the neck had been scalloped so where the raised bits were provided the "frets".

[Resiliance]

He got it from a lute as far as I know.

[The UG Squirrel]

i checked his website and he says it was a lute

[Freepower]

Indeed, it is a lute

The Legendary Guitar of Jason Becker is only on VHS.:(

I only have a DVD player.:(

[DirgeForTheSun]

:D DVD/VHS combo!

[TheI7ark]

^You could convert it to DVD :p:

Anyways... Not to brag... But I have a Steve Vai concert in 8 hours and 30 minutes. :peace:

[kyle_afi]

^ Can we have a soul exchange?











:sad:

[pavan]

all you people who say that you have a vai concert in __ hours and __days only make me jealous. will he ever come to india? satch is coming in may.

[Stratwizard]

^Yeah, **** those posts. Nobody cares a sh*t, what you do.

[TheI7ark]

^ Now now... No need to get angry.

I highly suggest seeing him though :eek: I was 3 feet from him the entire show... It was amazing...

[neox the cow]

Hey this sounds like a dumb question but please induldge me anyway. Anyone know what pickups Vai uses on For the Love of God? I'm assuming that if he uses EVO it would be evo pickups but I'm not sure if he uses EVO on the track or not.

[TheI7ark]

On the studio version I don't know... Now a days he plays it on Evos and it sounds just fine.

[public property]

On the studio version I assume his equipment would be
An older model Universe, with PAF's in the neck and bridge
Eventide 3000 harmonizer through a marshall stack.

[neox the cow]

Lol wow thank you for the thoroughness.

[The UG Squirrel]

best shred bassist anyone?

[TheI7ark]

^Billy Sheehan hands down.

[RideTheLighting]

I know its with his swirl Universe guitar, the one on the cover of PAW, I don't know witch pick ups are in it , Dimarzio something :bonk: Man, I would love to have that guitar!

[Resiliance]

Originally posted by The UG Squirrel

Probably Sheehan, although I think Victor Wooten is more versatile and would probably be able to do the same as Billy.

[Freepower]

^ Agreed.

Wooten is like a big musical madman with the demeanor of a seriously smart teddy bear. The man rules.

[metallikatt]

victor wooten IS the greatest bassist

Of course i did it was amazing :headbang:

[SilentDeftone]

I went to the one in Detroit. Set list included (but was not limited to) K'm-Pee-Du-Wee, Answers, Sisters, Lotus Feet, Glorious, Building The Church, Whispering A Prayer, The Audience Is Listening, Reaping, Juice, The Crying Machine. I was very glad that he played Sisters, that was a nice surprise. Unfortunately the girl I was with had to go home before the encore, and I missed FTLOG! :sad::sad::sad: There's always next time I suppose!

I wasn't too big a fan of Lotus Feet from the album to be honest, but the emotion that he put into the live performance just blew me away! :down:

Everything he played was dead-on precise and fantastic. I think I made a shred fan (or at least a Vai fan) out of the girl I went with (who happens to be the same one who wants to learn guitar, for those of you who read the Musician Talk forum).

-SilentDeftone :dance:

[spee]

i personally enjoyed the encore the most. Liberty, Jam on my guitar wants to kill your mama with Sardinas, and the new arrangement for FTLOG.:cheers:

[Axegrinder#9]

on the issue of best shred bassist, John Myung of DT must be mentioned. Stu Hamm is also a contender. and guys have any of you heard Jonas Hellborg? that guy ****ing rules... I had the oppurtunity to see him play with shawn lane and steve topping... he blew me away...

[TheI7ark]

Woah how many of you were at the Detroit show? I was right up front there...

[SilentDeftone]

At the Detroit show:
I was standing roughly dead-center on the first set of steps, so I could see just above everyone's heads. A few feet behind me there was a jackass who kept yelling stuff. He eventually moved to the front.

I was kind of near where Sardinas went up the stairs in the audience when he was being carried by that stage hand during his final song in the opening act.

Did anyone see that guy who looks like John Petrucci before he cut his hair? I almost told him that he did, but he didn't look so happy?

I saw those guys who put up signs over on the left, but couldn't see what they said.

-SD :dance:

[bangoodcharlote]

What do you guys think would have happened to Megadeth if Marty hadn't gotten somewhat famous in Cacophony?

[Resiliance]

I don't know, but Marty has acclaimed way more fame with Megadeth than he ever had with Cacophony.

[Freepower]

I agree. And marty owns. Need i even say that? But he does.

[pavan]

oh marty. i wish we could get more of his music. another musical genius.

[TapMaster]

Marty Probly would have never joined megadeth thats what

[jasonbecker]

Is it me, or do any of you guys hate Megadeth?

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^I love Megadeth..

One of my All time fav bands..

Marty pwns BTW, I like him most in Cacophony, closly followed by his Solo stuff..

[spee]

i like marty when he was in cacophony, megadeth, and solo, he is an amazing guitarist. I love his exotic solos and his heavier solos in megadeth. I like his solos in Holy Wars and Hangar 18 the most. There are too many amazing solos to mention while he was with cacophony and his solo stuff.:D

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^Ahem, i have to say that the Tornado of Souls solo is the best Solo Marty has ever done with Megadeth

[spee]

^Shit dude, i forgot (like you said) the best marty solo with megadeth. God damn! that solo defines melodic, i read on his website that he improvised the whole thing too.:down: Marty Friedman

[metallikatt]

tornado of souls solo is beautiful

[The UG Squirrel]

^^^^ i heard that mustaine did the holy wars solos?

help me

[Night_Lights]

www.luismoreno.com check this guy out also has lessons, powertabs etc


ok, here a noob question, how do i get my NPS or BPM? i know i have to use a metronome, but what speciafically do i do

[pavan]

i love the solo in a megadeth song called victory. i think marty and mustaine play parts one after the other. marty's part is wicked. that's my fav megadeth solo.

i also love the solo in foreclosure of a dream.

[spee]

Originally posted by The UG Squirrel

I am pretty sure that he only did the last one with feedback. In all the videos i have seen it is Friedman playing it, and i dont think Mustaine can come up with that, plus in a book i have it explains the solos theory and says it was marty.;)

Merty did the two slower solos and the little Spanish thing before ...The Punishment Due. ;)

P.S. Tornado of Souls is awesome and quite tricky to play.

[Blackened-World]

megadeth is one of my fave bands but the singing took some getting used to. especially "sweating bullets". wow.
