Alright. :p: Well in the Pit, some interesting posts I read: :haha

Got kicked out of the local music store for playing a popular blink 182 song on a banjo for over 15 minutes but snuck back into the basement only to befriend the only decent person I've ever met who worked at a music store; although he had poor taste in movies.

Kicked out of a Kohls because they didn't realize how amazing the perfectly smooth, waxed floors were for rollerblading.

Kicked out of an entire mall for complimenting several women on thier choice of dress.

Kicked out of toy stores (how cliche) for various activities, including put not limited to: searching the stores for Sith and falsely accusing some of practicing the dark art and attempting to apprehend them in the name of the Republic (go figure), testing out the minibikes as part of my quality control program to benefit everyone, kicked out of another for stockpiling all the play food and distributing to everyone equal, and kicked out of another for taking over certain aisles in the name of global communism.

I once got kicked out of a sears for masturbating to there half naked plastic models (manicans?), but I mean come on boobies are boobies and boys will be boys




the sad thing is..its a true story :(

Whereabouts in Australia?



Probably fly in to Melbourne, then go see my grandparents in Leeton (NSW) (by way of flight to Wagga/Narrandera) then Sydney, then train to Adelaide to see my other grandparents. Then flight to Brisbane and possibly go to Gold Coast and maybe up to Cairns, will fly back from Brisbane..... Thats my provisional plan anyways. May end up cutting out Adelaide and just going straight from Sydney to Brisbane (Sydney's more interesting anyways). Then a week in Langkawi Malaysia to round it all off.... Looking at bout £1800 in total I think, but thats conservative.... Should be good.

[Resiliance]

Or... Stay home and cash in £1800!

Score!

Resi's financial advice: open workdays from 9 to 5.

[HammerForce]

Hmm, tempting as an ENGL Powerball/ Cornford is I'd like to do some interesting stuff while I have 4 1/2 month long summer holidays :D

[Resiliance]

What the f00k.

4 1/2 months?

... Bum.

[HammerForce]

OK, well maybe more like 4, but you see what I mean though?
Finish exams halfway through May then start again halfway through September. Would be better if I'd done that extra year at school and gone to an English uni. That would've made for longer hols...
Why, how much do you get?

[Resiliance]

8 weeks, and a normal school day over here is from 8 'o clock to 5 in the afternoon :(

Bloody best education in the world.

[HammerForce]

Oh, are you still at school then? I always just assumed that you were at uni...
That school day must be an absolute pain in the bollocks...

[Resiliance]

I'm just commenting on what I had to go through for so long :angry:

[HammerForce]

Ok, what do you study then? and where?

[HammerForce]

Does anyone know which guitars Luca Turilli uses (I have been obsessing with him recently). I know he uses Ibanex, but which one completely eludes me, there's nothing about it on Rhapsody's or his own site. If anyone knows about his amps as well it would be most appreciated.
Cheers....

So, I'm guessing nobody knows about Luca Turillis gear.
In another vein then can anyone recommend a good amp which won't be too hard to come by in Britain for about the same price as a Laney Gh50 halfstack??

[Godly Moose]

Hey guys I'm playing Battletoads and this game is hard as butt. Give me some hints please.(If you remember it anyways lol) Also the songs for Battletoads are fockin sweet.

ZOMG!!! :wtf:

I might be a bit behind on this, but Paul has set release dates for his new album on his website (http://www.paulgilbert.com/News.html).

I wonder when it comes out in Australia....?

http://www.paulgilbert.com/Get.Out.Cover.jpg

EDIT: Is it just me or do those strings look massivley (sp?) thick? ^

[ILoveHarmonics]

You ARE! :D

It's already available in Japan: Here it is (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=IECP-10061&ref=myp)

No such thing.

Ain't nuthin' better in Britain than the Laneys for their price & quality.

[HammerForce]

Cheers Resi, was just asking if there was anything even comparable though. But thanks anyways.

why do i have a feeling, based solely on cover art and album title, that this album is very bluesy southern rock-ish?

[Resiliance]

It's shred that'll melt your face off :headbang:


And besides, with Gilbert, you never know.

[ILoveHarmonics]

^^And what if that shotgun pose means he's gonna shoot us away with terrifying shred guitar? It's instrumental and I heard one recording which sounded a bit Racer X like but with more of a rocking/headbanging feel to it.

[TheI7ark]

why do i have a feeling, based solely on cover art and album title, that this album is very bluesy southern rock-ish?

Paul Gilbert's pentatonic licks will open a vortex to hades, where your soul will be gnawed on by cerberus for the rest of eternity.

[Matt_Malmsteen]

He looks like he's just got out of bed, heard you on his yard, grabbed what he thinks is his shotgun and is now threatening you.

Obviously upon realising he can't shoot you he'll just destroy you with his insane skills.

[TheI7ark]

Obviously upon realising he can't shoot you he'll just destroy you with his insane skills.

Obviously you've not seen "Once Upon a Time In Mexico". That guitar is obviously a machinegun, shotgun, grenade launcher.

[Matt_Malmsteen]

I've seen that actually...and yeah I probably inclined to agree now I think about it.

Although that film was weird.

[eviledge87]

i think they managed to make a case turn into a flamethrower in that movie too...i heard there is a bunch of crazy stuff like that in the preqeul Desperado

[TheI7ark]

i think they managed to make a case turn into a flamethrower in that movie too...i heard there is a bunch of crazy stuff like that in the preqeul Desperado

Flame thrower, and rocket launcher ;)

Seriously though, I can't wait for this album. Even if it is Blues/Southern Rock, his Red House cover contains some of my favorite licks.

[ILoveHarmonics]

^It ain't Southern Rock. It's something from everything. I listened to some audio clips and it goes from metal to more funky stuff and more sad sounding pieces. There's a classical track on it aswell.

[NevermorePsalm]

Paul Gilbert...white trash?

[canadianshred]

I'z be bac foo's. ^and yes friedman is god only his new cd was **** in my opinion he seems to be just trying to make it as heavy as possible

Beckerism/anyone else/the best UGer on UG (tombo32), which guitars did Becker use??

I may be wrong, but I think he used Carvins.


- Tom

[Prophet of Page]

I may be wrong, but I think he used Carvins.


- Tom


He did use them, but the most iconic pictures of him are with his Hurricanes, like on the cover of SMS and Perpetual Burn.

[Scorzerci]

Carvins, his hurricane(s), that really cool one with no paint and numbers on the frets (or was it notes?) and there is a Becker Ibanez prototype sig, but I'm not sure if he ever really used it.

[eviledge87]

yeah, the vocals are pretty lousy on the Cacophony albums, but then again, that's not why ur listening to them are u?!
:peace:

you have a point, but still bad singing makes me angry...but cacophony's music is amazing. The word cacophony means something like "many different sounds coming from many different directions" people here probably knew that already but that's a very fitting name

edit: yeah becker played carvin guitars, he's holding one on the cover of the rasberry jams

[Beckerism]

In some interview when asked about which guitars he played said, "any decent guitar." He played anything from a Carvin, Hurricanes, Ibanez, Fender, customs, anything. :)

There are alot of Vai's songs that you could probably pull off without a whammy. Maybe Liberty or Ballerina 12/24? If you learn a song that has some whammy in it, change it a bit.

The character of Iron Maiden's new single, the Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg. Search the news on the site.

[Matt_Malmsteen]

I knew that, but who is he? is/was he a real person or what?

[HammerForce]

Cheers Beckerism,
Off topic, but what did Pook get banned for?

http://www.benjaminbreeg.co.uk/

Theres some info on Breeg at the bottom of the page.
Kind of interesting because of the fact that he disappeared in 1978, when Maiden started :D

[Resiliance]

Banned for an over the line post and then extended for multi...

[HammerForce]

^Did you ban him? and how long is he gone for?

[Resiliance]

Noes, 56 more days.

[TheUltimateSin]

Cheers Beckerism,

If I remember right, it was for flaming the crap out of some chick who was making stupid comments in the Ted Nugent/supergroup thread that use to be around here.

It's not actually, that one was cleared, it's another one yet :p:

[apocalypse13]

Oh yea, but I'd still say it's another friend of his. He wouldn't make a double account. But like you and I both said, unless he can prove it, it's worthless.

Eurgh. Sticky situation he's in. I would certainly not reccomend, in any shape or form, hackery or porn-based revenge.

Edit: To Bog, there is this one page on the net that has a bunch of shawn lane PTs, and it might have Not Again. I just remeber that it had Epilogue for Lisa, which I had been looking for, since it wasn't on standard tab websites (such as here). Maybe someone knowns the URL, or I'll look for it later.

Yup, it is your kind of powerball. (sadly)

[Zakhammetman]

I don't really know where else to go with this as there is no shred recommendation thread, and the acoustic threads may not have any idea: what are some good acoustic-shred artists/albums to pick up/listen to?

....other than Zakk Wylde's stuff which I've already heard.

[TheUltimateSin]

^How could you have missed This thread. It's even stickied for all to see (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=104843) :confused:


Anyway...


What's with people putting these small pictures of guitars against a white background in their avatar all of a sudden? I swear I've seen at least 17 of them now....

[Zakhammetman]

^ Ok, so yah I missed it, but I'm pretty sure this is the RANDOM shred chat thread so by me posting here it makes absolutey no difference.......either way I was looking for an answer. Haha, it's funny you'd rather go through all that, posting a link there instead of just answering my question...if you could.

[Resiliance]

^What are you, an anarchist or something? It's a damn thread for it so that's where it goes.

[apocalypse13]

Yea it should be there, but Al Di Meola ftw

[TheUltimateSin]

^^Exactly what Resi said. It isn't there for no reason. Rather than hand you your answer on a platter, I'd rather you made the extra effort and sorted through the thread that was made for that purpose of presenting suggestions. And the simple fact that you claimed you couldn't find a thread for it, despite it being stickied in the top, says wonders about your ability to actually look for things.

And for the record, you haven't been here nearly long enough to know what this thread is for. Go back and read the last 300+ pages before spouting your gibberish about what belongs here.

[Zakhammetman]

Point taken, and again I was proven wrong as Resi helped me out in the "must haves" thread with some great suggestions. But all in all, I'm not huge on spending hours upon hours on a website so if I have a question I look for quick answers. Yah, my bad for not looking closely for the thread or being a little naive thinking the word "recommendations" would be in there, but at the end of all this I guess "random" has a whole new meeting. From experience I thought this meant, for clarities sake, "anything", so I posted here. Like I said, my bad.

PS - I love how tempers can be flared on here by people god-knows how far way, and also, I love the way people can make judgements on others by the way they observe websites :rolleyes:

Anyways, back to the "randomness"......

[TheUltimateSin]

PS - I love how tempers can be flared on here by people god-knows how far way, and also, I love the way people can make judgements on others by the way they observe websites :rolleyes:


Bah, you haven't known me long enough to know when my "temper is flaring". That was me just bull****ting around with you. You're new here; think of it as a form of "hazing", if you get what I mean. ;)

Once you settle in around here and get to know the people here, you'll see how things work.

Even me being here just over a year or so, Freepower and Resi still confuse me every so often.

PS - I love how tempers can be flared on here by people god-knows how far way, and also, I love the way people can make judgements on others by the way they observe websites :rolleyes:

I hate to point out it, but stupid text flares tempers from miles away, (almost) always has, always will, re:The Bible, American Psycho...

The fact you are farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too mature to have any temper flares reading what i have just posted is in fact IRREFUTABLE evidence that you are more intelligent than me, despite the fact that, well, seeming stupid on the internet is generally a sign of REAL stupidity.

(jk dudes)

God, y'know, at the end of your hilarious reference to the RHCP, i was laughing for approx 9 hours before i realised that i could not figure out why - when i saw this little message, i realised that it was a common or garden "joke" (THATS why i was laughing, lol!) and that by saying dudes, you were somehow, across the incredible distances that must seperate us, joining us together as one, huge, friendly entity.

too many here seem to have a stick up their ass.

About irritating people who you're trying to help and don't realise it? I may have a stick up my ass but you seem to have sat on the Ungrateful Tree and it's Leaves of Lubricant.

And just to clarify on a few small points -

You're new here; think of it as a form of "hazing"

He may have been hazing, but i'm serious. No stupid ****, and after that, no trying to make it seem like you're blameless (due to character faults, which are, tbh, your fault), and after that, no trying to make it seem like the people helping you are pedantic losers - you're a lazy **** and they're going out of their way to help retarded ****s like you find acoustic music without the help of Google, Amazon, or even www.WordOfMouth.com.

k?

FP how much did you pay for your powerball?

Nowt, my daddy gots it fors me because he has RSI problems too. :)

so anyway I was listening to this really tripped out song by the Beach Boys (believe it) called "Feel Flows", its got this solo flute section which is characterized by a very eastern sounding harmony and melody... it'd be a great lil' piece to rip off on guitar and play it, especially if you can come anywhere close to capturing the vibe (barring the fact, that it IS played on a flute) - it's be real slick.

and, I recommend to all who haven't heard the song, listen to Eddie Hazel's soloing on "Maggot Brain"

Speaking of which, is it just me or did he only play on that one album?

A big hell yes to that post. Two Reasons:

1. The Beach Boys kick some serious ass.
2. Maggot Brain kicks some serious ass. I saw P-Funk live and they played it, and it was definitely the high point of the night.

What are the weird weely things on keyboards that change the pitch of notes and let them do weird guitar esq things?
And what's the cheapest I could get a decent keyboard with one for?

Uh no. No "pwnage" whatsoever. You were the only one left posting. I just deleted the thread because I don't want a bunch of concieted pricks spamming it up with their "holier than thou" attitudes. Mmkay?

I told you the reason for deletion in the last post. You're an idiot. Now go listen to some chromatics.

[flamencogod]

bugger off I don't like chromatics... You just couldn't handle people actually giving their opinion! resi didn't say it sucks because of the technique and you know it!

[Smokey Amp]

Yah, he did. I'm done arguing with you because you're illiterate, you have no idea what you're talking about and you don't deserve to play guitar. When you learn what music is really about, give me a PM.

[Axegrinder#9]

well you'll have to look out for some kind of voltage controlling device like a pitch bender, or if you're more adventurous, an LFO hooked up to a low-pass filter.

[flamencogod]

Yah, he did. I'm done arguing with you because you're illiterate, you have no idea what you're talking about and you don't deserve to play guitar. When you learn what music is really about, give me a PM.
alright now you're just talking crap... bye

[Resiliance]

Woah dude, listen man, I apply the same high standards to everyone, if you don't pick out the negative aspects you don't know the negative aspects thus you can't improve on them. #1 attitude to have and understand.

Technique had **** all to do with it. Honestly, where the HELL did you get that? I didn't like it because it's 13 in a dozen and there are many players who can do better in my opinion, and me always striving for perfection means I will criticise EVERY LITTLE IMPERFECTION I see. If this includes technique, so be it.

I think flamencogod was right. You want us all to say OMFG wow he's great. You really need to understand that everyone in this forum WILL STRIVE FOR PERFECTION, thus criticise ANYTHING that's not PERFECT.

I know you're probably not used to this because in most other band forums they worship people who can bash out an A chord, but here we want to get better and EVERYTHING is under scrutiny. Including ourselves.

Do you not think I'm my own harshest critic? If I'd criticise 500000 different things, does that mean I don't like said person? OFCOURSE IT DOESN'T! Get that into your skull!

In the thread you say I thought it sounded nice (which I did) and then proceeded to say I said it sounded terrible because of some very minor technique issues... Where did I say the word terrible?

And did you ever stop to think that technique and sound are directly related, when you were preaching your little emotion thingy?

I suggest you get a thicker skin and just learn to interpret everything a bit more calmly and as they were ment instead of taking them so personally/serious.

What, you don't want people to criticise someone? I really don't get why you have your panties in a bunch to be honest.

Feel free to reply to this post, I will try to clear any other misconceptions you have, as I guarantee you, your view of this forum is absolutely, completely, and utterly wrong.

[apocalypse13]

Yea, Resi crits hard. Accept it.

[aMeRiCaNsTrAt21]

Is there a Pick that is inbetween, a Jazz III and a Fender Medium? I just picked up some Dunlop Jazz III's and Ive always used Fender Mediums. They are a little to small. I need a pick thats a little bit bigger then these, these picks are great for pinches though :).

Thanks

[Resiliance]

You could try the full-sized version of the Jazz III picks.

[aMeRiCaNsTrAt21]

How do u now mine arent the full size version? Mine are Jazz III Nylon Sharp 1.38


Does anybody use these my fingers like cover up the whole pick.

[Resiliance]

Because you say they're small :p:

[aMeRiCaNsTrAt21]

Hmm...I'd like all of your opinions on this. I'm not trying to sound...angry, but I am a bit perturbed as to why, this last Tuesday, I lost in a talent competition to a karaoke singer. It was about 115 degrees farenheight outside, I was wearing two shirts, and we were under a pavilion. Not the best playing conditions. But I did manage to get my improv done. I played over a I-II-III-II type of chord pattern in the key of A. Very easy to solo over, giving me a chance to just bust out some fast speed picking now and then, while still keeping myself in perception of some quirky melodic ideas. I used my limited ability of passing tones, blue notes, etc., w/e, and I just generally tried to keep the solo melodically in tune and keep showmanship interesting. (Fast runs, playing over the top of the fretboard, funny faces, etc.) Yet still, I lost to a girl singing along to a half-rate country track. I'm not saying my performance was good, as I am no where near as good as I wish to be and up to standards I have set for myself to achieve, but I WAS better than this girl. Especially due to the fact that she did karaoke while I improvised a rock/jazz solo. Now, I don't want to come across as conceited, even though I may have already, but when I say I was better, I was. If the judges had an inkling of musicianship standards in their brains they would have known. Now, I had many people afterwards tell me I was the best act and that the judges may have been a bit unfamiliar with the genre, but it still seems just stupid to me that I lost. (although, It wasn't a good idea that half way through the improv I shoved my highs through the roof to cut through my loop, causing half the room to cover their ears) I did get second place in the competition, but I still don't believe that it makes sense to award a karaoke singer a most talented award. I did also hear though that the winner had to sing the national anthem, but I still don't see why I couldn't have just PLAYED it. Both voice and guitar are instruments, are they not? That is just another possible reason I may have lost, but I assure you it wasn't due to lack of talent. So just, what I wanted an opinion on, is it fair to judge someones talent on accessibility?

[Axegrinder#9]

of course not, but then that's how it is done a lot. and it's a travesty.

why the **** has Cas renamed all the forum names, it is not humorous if that's what he thought...

[Matt_Malmsteen]

^^I just noticed that, well ****ed up.

And no, it's not fair to judge talent on accesibility.

[The UG Squirrel]

Holy crap! UG got collectively Cas'd. :(

Dude, honestly, it's a talent competition. What do you expect from people who think they can see one person having more "talent" than another? The very meaning of "talent competition" is BS in itself. I don't see why you even bothered, to be honest.

[Shreddin 4 Life]

...So just, what I wanted an opinion on, is it fair to judge someones talent on accessibility?

Meh, life usually doesn't turn the way it should...

Besides, often times in any competition, the "best" usually doesn't win anyway. Mob rules in that kinda situation & the guitar doesn't seem as accessible as vocals to the general audience, therefore, no it isn't fair to judge something based on that imo

After all, if it weren't for that, we'd have reality TV shows like "American Guitar Hero" & such (not likely but u get what I'm tryin' to say)

Just don't fret over it, if people come up to u after a show & tell u that u were great, that's good enough for me. Surely not everyone can enjoy a guitar performance, but there will always be a few who do; and imo, that makes it all worth while-even if u don't win...

I use that term really loosely as a reference. I mean, its not gay camp guide telling us of how fun building sandcastles really is. Its more like life out in the countryside with people your own age with all the catering of your mother but none of the restricitions.

Greg Howe has dropped Suhr due to "Irreconciliable differences" and is no longer making a sig guitar with them.
