The quality of the tracks varies, but since there are so many of them I couldn't be bothered to sort them all out ;) Besides, I can't judge what other people's idea of quality is :p:

for my english seminar on mythology, my team is doing a lil' presentation on the influence of Norse Myths in popular culture, primarily music. I just d/l Therion's "Secret of the Runes" thus... great album, and watch out for Christopher Johnsson shredding balls to the wall!

Three Masterplan albums? The self-titled one, Aeronautics and which other one then? I only know the first two...

I don't have high expectations for their future albums ( and I agree with Resi that their first one is the best of the lot) now that vocalist Jorn Lande left the band. For me he was the main reason I got into Masterplan in the first place.

I never really took the time to check out Kamelot, and I don't know the other two bands, but I do like Pagan's Mind very much. ( Enigmatic Calling for instance)

I like the first album best, mostly because of Jon's god-like vocals. His solo stuff is good but those songs are a bit simple for my tastes.

Andromeda is very good, maybe try II = I to start off. Pagan's Mind I'm not a big fan of, but most prog fans seem to like them. For Royal Hunt, I've only heard Paradox, so I'm not of much help there... it is a good album though, if you're interested.

And I'll give a big meh to Kamelot.

[Reemster]

Has anyone ever heard of Vanishing Point? They're an Australian prog metal band, and I quite like them.

They're not very original or groundbraking in their compositions, but they do have a sound of their own which might appeal to some people here.

@ Flamencogod: if you thought Jorn's vocals on the first Masterplan album were god-like, you ought to check out his performance on Beyond Twilight's " The Devil's Hall of Fame". He has never sung like that before, or after for that matter.

MAB is an excellent player but i haerd his music is boring to listen to.

I might get to go see Black Label Society on wednesday, im freaking out cause up until very recently i wasn't allowed to go to concerts and BLS would be a sweet first concert to go to.

Does anyone here practice/know scales besides the standard pentatonic, major, minor, etc. im lookin for some new scales to mess around with, exotic scales and such that marty friedman uses (or so i've heard)


hirojashi, egyptian, and phrygian dominant are all good.

Scales... (http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/guitar/index_rb.html)


there ya go ;)


thats not the egyptian scale i know. The one im used to is just phrygian dominant with the seventh sharped, so you have a chromatic passage in it.

[Freepower]

A phryg dom with a 7 as WELL as a b7? Neat, although i tend to prefer picking one or the other...

[Harmonius]

Wow...is instrumental shred material not the best way to revise and make notes, or what?

[Godly Moose]

I'm wondering if I should make a Bumblefoot topic in the Pop-punk & Emo forum to see what they say. :p:

isnt that viewing?

no one ever posts here regularly except for >30 people. It makes me cry at how slow these forums move. If more people would post, i would have more topics to discuss, but were out :(

[Shreddin 4 Life]

well, some ppl start off as regulars, but post less & less as time goes on


at least that's what I've seen going on (with the exception of a few of the more prestigeous members of course)

[PooKoo]

yeah i've been posting a lot less.

[Shreddin 4 Life]

well, it's like anything else that u get new: at first u use it to an almost rediculous/nauseating level, and then use it less and less until u only use it as much as u have to...much like a wah pedal :p:

[Duranix]

I got interested in shred by watching vai, satch and yngwie, and I started learning their stuff, but its Dragonforce that really got me motivated to try and learn.


But im still a noob at shred, the most shreddy thing i can play being the master of puppets 2nd solo.

[PooKoo]

agreed 100 percent, would it be hypocritical to say part of why i don't come on is because none of the other old regs do either?

We're not really big fans of Dragonforce around here, but it's what you like. :)

Well, I'm just trying to get to 1000 posts first. THEN, I'll worry about that. :D

[Resiliance]

Oh really?

[Scorzerci]

I barely post here any more because I've discussed pretty much everything I'm interested in and I feel I've learned almost everything I'm gonna learn here. In my opinion the topics nowadays are becoming less interesting as well.

[PooKoo]

Oh really?

well apoc, nevermorepsalm, fp to a lesser extent, you see them all less, though i talk to the first two a lot still.
's all resi.

[paddyo]

*Tear* All ma boys is growed up!



I haven't really noticed a drop in regs posting that much. I mean, people constantly come an go so its not like it makes a difference,like everyone going at the same time would.

Yeah, I really don't notice it that much, I've been here too long ... :p:

[breadstick]

Ive never liked shred. I always thought it was the same as metal with all the screaming and such. then i heard through the fire and flames by dragonforce............totally awesome.

[Scorzerci]

[Freepower]

Well, i don't come on much because i'm uber busy. And it seems to me that some people will actually die rather than search. Goddamn singing and playing threads in MT for example...

So, basically, i only visit this forum nowadays, and not often. :)

otoh, i SAW MUSE LAST NIGHT!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHG!

In the front row, alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll night long. Oh yeah. Seriously ****ing awesome **** from planet brilliant. Nuff sed.

All of my friends went to that. I didn't gobecause I think Muse are ****e, but I was left with nobody to play with last night.

[paddyo]

Yeah, a friend of mine went to the Dublin one too. He said they were "very,very,very good" :p:

I'm not mad about them tbh though...

I liked the first album, but everything since has been severely meh.

[Resiliance]

I've always found them crap.

[Freepower]

^ EVEN ORIGIN??!??!?!?!?!?!?!

Pah, **** you guys. Absolution wasn't great, BHAR is better...who knows? They could rise to greatness again.

Tom, i have a vid of a concert they played back in the Showbiz era - tis the best vid of them there is, imo. :)

Anyway, muse fannage/discussion should really be over. I'm going to learn a second shawn lane lick, if you guys don't mind... :p:

[Godly Moose]

Soo... how about them baked goods?

[Beckerism]

No.

[Godly Moose]

No.

dragonforce < mushy peas

[paddyo]

^:haha Make that with Brussel Sprouts too!

[Godly Moose]

Edit: Oh god, I'm a post whore.

[PooKoo]

Got an idea, I'll start a slash thread, and resi can ban everyone who posts in it seriously.
Eh?

[paddyo]

Nah... Stooping to there level is even lamer.



Goddamnit...

[HammerForce]

In terms of Muse I saw them at Leeds, I didn't think they were all that brilliant (bear in mind that I'm not really that big a fan). I thought that they were pretty damn good, but I think they relied too much on the lights and things to make it a good show.

[NevermorePsalm]

Hello all.

Como esta?

[hepzibahbaptist]

Technically its "Como estas".Just cause its in the "you" form.

[Godly Moose]

Como esta?

Yo tengo aburrido.

Does anybody know that name of this song?

Your download does not work.
Or rather, your song does not play.

sounds like stratovarious but i've got no idea.
Sure i've heard it before though.

[hepzibahbaptist]

Thats what i was thinking. They've got a song called "speed of light" and the singer in the unknown song says that but i listened to the stratovarious and it just wasnt it. Though it was close. I listened to all my stratovarious songs and none of the are it.

[trollblod]

Hey shred forum, do you know how is going to a IA eklundh clinic the 26th?

















I am :).

[PooKoo]

go die.

Anyone know anycool sweep picking patterns?

[Axegrinder#9]

if any o you kids is interested go to my dmusic site here http://axegrinder9.dmusic.com and listen to the featured track called "tragic_hamburger_the_dancing_drug_dealer... and leave a few comments if you enjoy that...

peace.

PS: it was a reaally lo-fi recording, cos the jam was recorded live using just a single condenser...

Maybe you(or some of you) remember me talking about that nerve condition I might have had? I found out a little more information. It's called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. It affects the nerves and muscles running through the arms from the neck. It causes weakness and numbness in said affected area. It gets worse over time, almost to the point of losing all feeling in those areas, and there is no way to really cure it. It's genetic. And, ...I have it.

So, in short, I'm fucked as far as being able to play guitar goes. It's not everyday you get to see your dreams burn :)

[paddyo]

**** man I'm really sorry to hear that.


I've got no other advise than to stay positive,there are always alternatives. :)

[Boghead]

Yer dude that must really be bad :( :(

Im sorry to hear that dude, stay positive like becker man.

[Resiliance]

How bad does the weakness and numbness get? Bad enough to stop the whole guitar thing?

[TheUltimateSin]

How bad does the weakness and numbness get? Bad enough to stop the whole guitar thing?

It's degenerative. It will only get worse with time. So eventually, yes, it will stop the guitar thing.

[Stratwizard]

**** that sounds horrible. That is my worst nightmare. I'm really sorry. :(

[paddyo]

I know it won't compare, but how will movement in general be? Will you be strong enough to still function?

[TheUltimateSin]

The thing about it that pisses me off the most is, I'm going to get worse at playing before I ever had a chance to get better and no amount of practicing can change that.

[TheUltimateSin]

I know it won't compare, but how will movement in general be? Will you be strong enough to still function?

Yeah. It won't be a complete shut down of functioning, but it will get to the point where I won't even be able to do something as simple as turn a screwdriver for more than a minute or so without having vast amounts of pain in my hands.

[paddyo]

I suppose thats something to hold onto. I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy,but you could get complete paralyses...



I'm lost for words man. My thoughts are bleak right now, A friend of mine's dad died this weekend and 3 of my other close friends' parents have died(in the past,not recently). All of this misfortune is putting things wayyy into perspective for me(and I've never taken things for granted before) moreso now. I'm sorry man.

[TheUltimateSin]

Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm going to keep playing as long as I can. That's about all I can do.

[Scorzerci]

I'm sorry to hear dude...

[Freepower]

Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm going to keep playing as long as I can. That's about all I can do.

I suppose score writing, midi programming, etc, won't help?

However, how about singing?

Otherwise, i don't know what to say. At least you'll still have the ears to enjoy music.

Exactly my thoughts. Hope that everything goes the best it possibly can.

[Godly Moose]

Whoa... harsh. Think positive man. If you want to write music there's at least programs to do so. I hope you still have the will to compose music. Until then; play as much as you can. My best regards.

Eh..I'm not much of a composer. I'm not proficient enough(or at all) in music and/or theory to be able to write anything yet. But, as soon as I break my horrible procrastination, I am going to sit my ass down and learn.

And singing is out of the question. My singing could make a deaf man wince in pain :p:

[Resiliance]

Everyone can learn to sing... Maybe not the most beautiful ever, but everyone can learn to sing bearably. :)

[TheUltimateSin]

I rest my case :p:

But anyway, I'm not too worried about it right now. I'll just keep playing as long as I can. Then maybe I'll take up classical piano..or something similar that won't require too much strenuous finger movement. I won't let this ruin my interest in playing music, that's for sure.

[flamencogod]

yeah, for the next two months I play drums in a black sabbath coverband. That is gonna kick ass!

No they can't. People who are tone deaf can only very slightly improv their ear. Nothing enough to be able to sing in tune on their own accord though....


US is a different story. The chances of him being able to sing in tune a hugely greater by virtue of the fact that he plays an instrument and even more so if you listened to a lot of music at a young age.

[Resiliance]

I'm talking about the voice alone, proper breathing techniques, vibrato, etc... I'm assuming he knows how to sing in key, which is pretty obvious, considering the whole guitar thing...

[Klondikekat]

Bearably has is a rather relative measure I have to say. Largely based on personal opinion It's quite safe to say some voice boxes possess better tonality than others. It's what makes some singers naturally good and some naturally bad. Training helps with control and maybe increases your vocal range. But if you sound like crap, you're just gonna be able to control the crap and maybe have a wider range of crap. Yet again, purely relative.

[Resiliance]

Nope, if you sound like crap, you definitely (if you don't have any respiratory illnesses or anything like that) learn to sound ok. This all coming from a vocal coach for 40 years.

[Beckerism]

[chase09]

2 of my cousins just died in a car crash about an hour ago. I don't know any details about how, where, etc. just that it happened. Strangely enough, between my parents and my sister I'm the only one not crying. I'm sad and I feel a little empty, but I'm not as sad as I expected I would be at a relative's death...

Sorry, not the right place for this but I needed to get it out. I'm going to go listen to The Spirit Carries On now.

[Reemster]

:( Sorry to hear about your loss... You never know how you'll respond to tragic news like that, and no one can tell you how you're supposed to react either.

You just have to undergo every emotion, and hopefully the support you and your relatives can give each other will make the loss a little more bearable.


Take care.

[chase09]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. One of the weird things about it is that one of the two that died was named after my uncle, who happened to die in a car crash as well a long time ago.

[Reemster]

Man, that's something strange alright, and maybe makes the situation even more dramatic...

However, don' t focus on that similarity too much though: it's not going to give you any answers to certain questions you might have.
