[insideac]

I doubt the allmighty Jason Becker was pressured by his parents.
And yea like insideac I get bummed out seeing all these kids play me under the table :p:

I went to an audition for a music college and lets just say I hate the air of competition. I don't know but it seems that guitarists are a competitive breed, there's some kind of underlying ego factor :peace:


I think for me, its because I cant stand to see myself working for 3 years harder than everyone that Ive known to play an instrument, and then I go to a wide area and all these unseen kids that I didnt expect, show up and own. makes me feel like im secluded from teh rest of the world, and my playing goals arent realistic.

[priest.fan.]

... they installed a camera in his room so that they could make sure that he practiced at least 2-3 hours of violin a day.


O.o

[The Virtuoso]

Is anyone else here a major fan of "Steve Stevens" guitar work???? I bought one of his albums with Tony Levin (LTE and King Crimson) and Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa)... Stevens guitar work is insane, I didnt realise how versitile he was, like i was always a fan of Billy Idol, but i thought Steve was just that sorta guitarist, not versitile....... Anyone else with me???

Yeah I've heard it, Black Light Syndrome I believe it was called, and yeah they pretty much owned. :liplick:

If it were a regular or something, probably. It's not something you do.

I haven't listened to any of those stereotypical "shred" guys and bands for ages... I listen to mostly jazz and fusion though I've got a bit of everything. And unlike people who usually say they listen to a bit of everything, I actually do. :p:

[Stratwizard]

Metal (black/death), jazz, electronic...

[Erc]

or do you all solely listen to shred type stuff like Vai, Malmsteen, Symph X, Satch, etc?


Oh my! That would be quite boring...

I listen to everything except emo and hardcore, and there is a bit of tribal rhythm oriented music that I don't find all that interesting. My favorite of what I listen to is usually orchestral, mostly tracks grabbed from various sound-tracks of games and movies. Some of my favorite composors are, Koh Ohtani, Nobuo Uematsu, Klaus Badelt, John Ottman, and Hans Zimmer.

[paddyo]

80's pop,now pop, now Rn'B/hip hop, Dance, Soul, Funk,Pop Punk/rock(yep...uhuh),jazz,Small bit of fusion,electronic...A lot basically.. I'm going through a pop punk phase now(...****ing paul gilbert putting the idea there:p: ).


I rarely like more than one song per band though..

[SnowballofDoom]

I haven't listened to anything that would be labeled shred for a while now.. except for the odd Youtube video and whatnot.

[insideac]

I too have a diverse range of tastes, from Jazz, to Classical, BLues, Death/Black Metal, Melodic metal, some hip hop (if the melody is good), hardcore, metalcore, and some punk.

[Righteous]

I listen to a lot of 'new age' piano music lately. Windham Hill records type of stuff. And also a lot of jazz like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk. Ummm soundtracks like LOTR and Harry Potter. Latin music, classical of course, not much classic rock at all, a fair amount of power metal. Mostly just solo piano stuff lately... it's so relaxing in stressful times.

etc etc.
Some emo too. It's not bad if you're not too serious.

[pavan]

I listen to random stuff on last.fm radio.
And yeah, some 80's hair metal.

[Stratwizard]

techno

By techno do you mean just techno or other electronic music as well?

[Godly Moose]

Basically everything, except really hardcore, scream-o, grindcore. Not a fan of yelling/screaming/growling, but I make exceptions for Death Metal. Basically besides those I literally listen to everything.

[paddyo]

Some emo too. It's not bad if you're not too serious.
Yeah I'm like that about pop punk. Like I'm not listening to it for lyrical value(bollox most of the time:p: ) or how good the progressions are...just catchy and easy to listen to. Yet to hear any Emo that I like though...

Good work, keep it up, slowly increase the metronome and before it you will be sweeping 16ths at 240bpm...... Plus atleast your doing it the right way and will be playing CLEANLY, unlike 98% of the YouTube shredders, sweeping their sloppy 16ths.

Yer i'ts more of the playing without tension, it is a big difference. I guess patience wins at the end of the day :)
Its just so time consuming and I have other stuff to work on :p

Ibanez, and well, most other guitar companies have a tendency to lie a lot about the actual guitars their artists are using... Muhammed's is probably modded to ****. At least it probably hasn't got an Edge III.

I don't know though, just... Probably.

[Stratwizard]

Xiphos is not Muhammed's signature model for ****'s sake... Same thing as RG is not Steve Vai's signature model. That is just the body shape he wanted to be made into his own model, so it's not a wonder if doesn't play exactly the same guitar.

This is a budget guitar, it's not a sig and it has Edge III. That's why the price is so low. Muhammed doesn't play this guitar.

Either direct, or through GAK. I went for GAK, the amp goes through more hands and the whole process takes longer, but I saved about €500. For some reason, direct orders are more expensive.

Haven't you heard the saying that there are only three families of chords? Direct quote from Joe Pass there, by the way. You can have a dominant chord that's altered in everyway while still being a dominant chord and it'll still have that function, i.e. an alt chord.

The extensions don't change the functions of the chords. Only what you play over it according to theoretical guidelines.

[Freepower]

Hmmmmmmm...

That jars a little - i'll take your word for it till i hear i detailed answer to the contrary.

Hey, don't take my word for it, I'm just paraphrasing Joe Pass.

[Freepower]

^ yes, but he's hardly Cor. :p:

Or for that matter, an Elaine Agnew, who i met on the train back from Dublin last visit. She's damn cool and knows a shitload of indian rhythmic theory. She makes meshuggah tame with a song about bananas. Brilliant muso. :) (irish composer)

[Resiliance]

Alrighty then... But Joe Pass still kicks Cor's ass when it comes to jazz theory. Cor is more of a classical bloke.

And I'll still trust what a master musician that has ages of experience like Joe over a bloke on the internet, I'm afraid :p:

[Freepower]

I know Cor's a classical bloke, but there's as much to be learned from either - if i hear that a #5 allows a chord to do X in classical theory, i'll try it out and if it works and i'll keep it. Why take jazz theory as the correct theory?

And i'd take Joe over Cor if i knew Joe better, but i don't, i know Cor better. Still, i trust Agnew, so i'll email her about this.

[PooKoo]

As an Ibanez man my suggestion would Ibanez RGA. It's a bit above of your price range, but well worth the extra bucks.

I was playing one at guitar center and loved it, it's actually what i'm looking at currently.
And as far as heavy, not very, not very heavy at all. Definitely not heavy enough that i'd lose all the definition in my tone, I just want that nice humbucker crunch, and that's what's turning me off strats.

[HammerForce]

RGA's look quite sweet. A mate of mine has alow(ish) end PRS clone called a vintage (24frets fixed bridge,holds tune really well),anyways, he modded it a bit (put in a couple of JB's and fiddled with the intonation a bit). Anyways now this guitar has the sweetest tone out of most I've heard, I'd say it sound better distorted than my mates Les Paul Standard. Maybe you could do something along those lines. I don't really care very much for Schecters personally.

OE SATRIANI ANNOUNCES 2007 G3 TOUR

Celebrated Tour Continues with Three Legendary Players This Spring

(Los Angeles, CA) -- The 2007 incarnation of Joe Satriani's popular G3 tour will kick off on March 14th in Phoenix starring SATRIANI, JOHN PETRUCCI and PAUL GILBERT. The tour will play selected dates in North America throughout March and April. The starting tour itinerary follows with more dates TBA shortly.

The 2007 tour marks the 5th North American G3 run and the 12th G3 tour worldwide since its inception. The first G3 tour, featuring Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai, played to sold-out crowds throughout October and November, 1996 and was followed by successful treks in Europe, South America, Japan and Australia. The most recent North American G3 tour, in 2003, showcased Satriani, Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen and was documented in the platinum DVD G3 Live in Denver. Other platinum DVD's include the 1996 run and the 2005 Japanese tour with Vai and Petrucci.

JOE SATRIANI has been a worldwide guitar hero since his 1986 breakthrough album, Surfing With The Alien. Over 10-million albums and CD's later, in addition to 13 Grammy nominations including this year for his latest studio release Super Colossal, Joe continues to push the envelope of modern rock guitar playing. In October 2006, Satriani released Satriani Live!, as both a double audio CD and double DVD package. In addition to breathtaking, nine-camera footage of Satriani and his band tearing it up for more than two hours at their Anaheim stop during this year's Super Colossal tour, Satriani Live! captures them backstage and onstage on the last stop of that trek, with comments from fellow guitar legend Eric Johnson, candid moments with members of Joe's band and crew, and one amazing surprise unleashed by the audience that night in San Francisco.

Joe's G3 cohorts, JOHN PETRUCCI and PAULGILBERT, are each recognized as brilliant players - both as soloists and within the bands they are known by. John is the founding member and lead guitarist for Dream Theater, recording eight albums with the band, including their sophomore effort, 1992's Images and Words. The album proved to be a breakthrough commercial success as the song "Pull Me Under" became a surprise hit on both MTV and rock radio. John is also involved in several side projects including Liquid Tension Experiment with Tony Levin, Age of Impact and even a Sega Saturn game called Necronomicon. In 2005, John was involved in three releases. A solo album, Suspended Animation, Octavarium with Dream Theatre and he was included on the G3 Live in Tokyo CD and DVD.

Paul first became known for his work with Racer X and went on to platinum success with Mr. Big who topped the pop charts in 1992 with the ballad "To Be with You." Mr. Big disbanded in 1996, and a year later Gilbert made his solo debut with King of Clubs; Flying Dog followed in 1998, trailed by Beehive Live in 1999, Alligator Farm in fall 2000 and Get Out Of My Yard in August 2006.

A recent poll of the Top 100 Greatest Rock Guitarists ranked SATRIANI at # 7, PETRUCCI at # 11 and GILBERT at #14.

SATRIANI stated simply, "I can't wait to hit the stage with John and Paul, they are two of the scariest, most amazing players I've ever heard!"

Continuing with the same successful formula as in years past, fans will be treated to individual sets by each guitarist with their own bands before joining Satriani and his band on stage for an all-star jam session. As with previous G3 tours, special guest guitarists will be invited to join the jam at select dates around the country. Past guests have included Neal Schon, Gary Hoey, George Lynch, Billy Gibbons, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Fripp and Brian May.
Finally!!!!
Too bad that they aren't coming to Europe though:(.

Come on now, saying Petrucci doesnt have originality or style is a load of shit. Everyone has thier favourites, but that was just out of line.

It's a little bit more interesting now since Gilbert's there, but otherwise I think the whole G3 concept is getting old and boring.

I never said that was a bad thing.

And besides, i should perhaps i should have toned it down a bit to something more like "Petrucci has this amazing style, it's like he's a skinny guitar nerd trying to be a new Kerry King"...

And i don't personally think Petrucci has added anything new to electric guitar. A lot of fans, perhaps, and certainly high profile.

[Scorzerci]

sorry im slow, but what did that entire page say and what was it for?
It has the names of a bunch of guitarists and a number next to them. The number, is the page number in that thread where the guitarist's rig can be found.

Wait, Kerry King? I think he deserves a tid-bit more credit then Kerry King. :(

I meant style in the purely original sense when comparing him to Kerry King. Jeez, his contortions on Gigantour... :haha

Hey, stratwizard, by any chance do you take all i say with a pinch of salt? I get that impression and it's humourous and humbling - is it perhaps entirely misguided?

[HammerForce]

sorry im slow, but what did that entire page say and what was it for?
Its basically a rig database, on the 1st page it has the pages for all of the artists they have, type the page number into the box at the top with 'suivante' on the left of it and 'aller' on the right, go to the page and check out the gear of whoever you want.....
Someone fluent in French coud probably give you a better idea of what everything else o there says. Or you could always just babelfish the whole thing I suppose....

Somehow i always get this sarky "not taking me too seriously" vibe off you and i wondered if it was real. Just asking, if not, it's just that you're innately cool. :p:

[Beckerism]

Hey everyone,

I am glad you dug the Guitar World interview. They edited it a bit to fit the space, so in the future I will put the whole thing up here. Thanks for your cool questions. You are all great, man.

Thank you for sticking up for my homely ass in regard to the comments on EBay. Don't worry, I didn't even read them. I sho nuf don't have time for ignorance.

I did meet Dave Mustaine years ago. I was walking with a cane. I went to a Megadeth show when Marty first joined. I went backstage and everyone was way cool. After a while there was a conversation between the band and road crew that I couldn't hear. Finally Mustaine asked me if Marty was a good driver. I said, "Oh, no." Marty and I had just been to a store and he accidentally scraped a parked car. He said, "I drive good but I am not great at parking." I cracked up at that. Later I felt bad because Marty was trying to talk the crew into letting him drive one of the equipment trucks. I had ruined his chance.

The only counterpoint part in my song "Air" that was played on just one track was the section after the really slow, simple melody.

I was going for the Colts and Saints. Bummer about the Saints, but man, what a great game for the Colts. I like New England, but they had their glory.

The Peavey guitar is coming along. The proceeds will go to me and ALS research.

Peace and love to you all,

Jason

[HammerForce]

I know what you guys mean as well, If were to meet him I'd probably just be like "how did you do this?" and "how did you do that?" I haveno idea what I'd actually try and talk about with him,maybe gear and stuff... It just makes me feel odd, considering how much better than me he was when he was younger than me.....

After /b/'s 18,000,000th post was made on December 27, 2006, it took only 17 days to accumulate another 1,000,000 posts on /b/, meaning /b/'s posting rate has now surpassed an average of more than 58,800 posts per day. The humor of /b/'s many residents (also known as "/b/tards"[2] ) has spawned enough intricate and hard-to-follow inside jokes that most newcomers find many posts incomprehensible. In addition, /b/ is known to officially have "No rules", save for a ban on illegal content and invasions of other websites (these being site-wide rules).

[TheUltimateSin]

Ok. So, here's my situation. I need new picks. I'm down to one. All I can get from the stores around here are Fender Mediums, which is ok because I like Medium picks. They fit my hand right and work right for the majority of what I play(although I have used a Dunlop Heavy pick for some things). So, I was wondering what brand and gauge would be right, given those prerequisites. I am going to order them online, of course, since no one near me carries anything decent. Thoughts? Any help from you guys who know your shit would be appreciated. :)

[KurrptSenate]

its all a preference issue mate. I mean, i use 10s and Jazz IIIs

[TheUltimateSin]

its all a preference issue mate. I mean, i use 10s and Jazz IIIs

That's why I said given the factors I stated, which brands and gauges would be best, meaning multiple suggestions to try. Trail and error ;)

[KurrptSenate]

i like my picks super hard/heavy and my strings pretty bendy (:lol:)


now, depending on what guitar, or how I tune that particular guitar, dictates the type of gauge I buy.

[TheUltimateSin]

i like my picks super hard/heavy and my strings pretty bendy (:lol:)


now, depending on what guitar, or how I tune that particular guitar, dictates the type of gauge I buy.


Well, if it affects the situation much, I use an Essex(Gibson knockoff) Les Paul with 9's(occasionally 10's).

[KurrptSenate]

well, what I was getting is...


Say for my 7 string guitar, tuned down a full step, I put 12s or 13s on it, due to it being a slightly larger "scale", and the fact that tuning down relieves string tension.

but yea, if you're in standards 9s or 10s are perfectly fine.

I stay with hard picks, considering there is really not much margin for error. I find it really easy to get a feel for how my pick is striking the string, at what angle it makes contact, and how much of the pick is extended under the string, like for attack.

I feel with some of the lighter picks, the way it bends, you really don't know what angle its making.


IDK. Like I said, its really personal preference.

I choose DR strings so I don't have to change them. I can usually get away with changing strings once every six months, since they are coated

[Godly Moose]

its all a preference issue mate. I mean, i use 10s and Jazz IIIs

Same here, but I use D'Addario strings instead of DR's.

[Night_Lights]

i recently switched from 10s to 9s, and honestly i can't feel a difference. Still the same tightness. Same brand too (DR) hmm.... i have a feeling i suck at restringing my guitars LOL.

[Righteous]

I switched from 9's to 10's and feel a very big difference: tone, tension, and feeling. I like 10's and I don't think I'll ever go back. Fender Bullets, oh yeah. I used Jazz III's. Only.

[pavan]

Anyone here like "The Police"?

Lighter picks mean that your strings are the boss, not your pick - hence you lose control.

Well, okay.

[Prophet of Page]

^ your pussy EJ vagina infested thinking man's non-death metal rhythm style maybe.

Yes, exactly.

Actually, if you want a challenge, here's one for you. Play the Sultans of Swing with two picks, both held at the same time in your picking hand. Now, use the soft pick for the rhythm parts, switching to using the hard pick and your fingers for the leads and fills. I've seen it done., and it's something I'm trying toe get the hang of myself lately.

[Freepower]

^ believe me, a challenge is not what i'm after right now. I'm still on "Not sucking" atm, but i'll sure have a go at this crazy idea of yours.

Perhaps you could make it easier by putting one pick down at some point? And then picking it up? Or would that be cheating? :p:

[TheUltimateSin]

Cheating.

The idea is that you become fluid at changing picks, so that you can get a good rhythm tone, and controlled leads. The hybrid picking, well, that's just to challenge your coordination a bit. You'd need to leave the pick down somewhere, then pick it back up, while leaving the other down. This way, you just one fluid switch while holding both.

Actually, aside from that, I've mostly been working on my timing lately.
