Me too, got that 2 days ago

:cheers:

[SnowballofDoom]

I'm sorry if this has been done before but, which shredders guitar would you want most? I mean one that they own & have modified, not one that you can buy at a store.

I'd want Paul Gilberts Blue and Pink (yeah, I said pink) PGM. The one that says Pablo Gilberto one the side. Or Vai's FLO Jem, that would be amazing too.

Quick question, is Tony McAlpine the black or white guitarist in the breed?


edit: nevermind, just googled it and he's the black guy

[Freepower]

This threads got a little slow, so heres some food for thought - two new tracks, one with exotic tapping - http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=209025 (arps and pedal tones, and two handed chords without tapping...hehe)

And some straight blues chilli pepper rock and or roll - http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=209022 which has my first ever pinched harmonic in it, go me!

As you can see, the shred forum has been giving me plenty of ideas, and you guys now have a song dedicated to you in my dmusic - "shredola espagnola!" Cheesily named for you shredders, ya big cheese lovers!

Onto a new topic - whats the cheesiest shred song name you can think of? I'm voting "Speed Kills" to get the ball rolling!

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Nice stuff BTW.

[SnowballofDoom]

I'm getting flamed for this but oh well.

"Always with me, always with you."

[Beckerism]

Oh man, I just dled the jason becker documentary. Even thought I already knew about the situation, it was really sad. .:( I still can't believe it happened. The reporter said " and his talk is being translated by " serEEna" atleast that is what it sounded like. So, is serrana pronounced like that?:confused:

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

So, anyone know what Zakk Wylde's NPS is?

[vaishredder]

who cares!

[Stratwizard]

I guess it's something like 18-20.

Obviously, I do.


No offense or anything, but you do spam allot in this thread.

[Stratwizard]

^Yeah, Vaishredder stop spamming. I do care as well; Wylde's one of my favourite guitarists.

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^He's one of mine too. I was watching Live at Budokan last night, and that little part during the show where its just Zakk playing, That was some awsome shit, fast too. So I was wondering his NPS.

[Beckerism]

Originally posted by vaishredder

So even though it is spelled with an A (serrana) you have always said serrEna?

[public property]

I saw Wylde play at ozzfest in i think 2000, it was ozzys set list but he got a little opportunity to stop during the middle and shred a little, pretty cool. I didn't play guitar back then unfortunately.

[pavan]

zakk wylde makes any song come alive with his aggressive playing and attitude. It's his attitude I like most.

[Dreadnought]

^^ That was the 777th post, the "heavenly" number.

Too bad it was about Zakk Wylde :sad:

[Beckerism]

What up guys, jsut a small survey. I have a harder typing alt. picking down strings, than alt pickign up strings, but have an easier typing sweeping upstrings, then downstrings. what about you guys? and what are you guys currently working on? I'm trying the intro to fire and ice.:cheers:

[Freepower]

why do you want resi's man babies? Other than producing the amazing shredbaby...

As for your question, im not quite sure what you mean. And what does your typing have to do with it?

I presume you mean, you find it easier alt picking from high e to low (direction wise) than the other way round for your sweeping?

If so, im the exact opposite, but im not particularly good at either, by shred standards.

Lol. I ment to type that i want resis babies in the jason/marty video thing. Anyways, yah, its easier for me try alternat pic from high e to low e(descending run), but its easier for me to sweep from low e to high e.:cheers:

[Freepower]

sorry, i find it easier to sweep ascending too, im retarded.

[SnowballofDoom]

Same here, it's easier for me to descend with alternate picking, and it's easier for me to ascend with sweep picking.

And I'm currently working on Black Star by Yngwie, War by Satch, and Erotomania by Dream Theater. (I practice the arpeggios in Black Star, the legato in War, and the alt. picking in Erotomania).

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Anyone know what everybody from The Breed's NPS's are?
(Billy,Dave, and Tony)

[Axegrinder#9]

God is amongst us. He?s bald, wears sunglasses and carries an Ibanez.

[Dreadnought]

Yea, Satriani IS a god

[SnowballofDoom]

Could be John Scofield. He probably wears sunglasses on bright days.

Lol, ok, he's the budda!

[public property]

Dave weiners probably not very fast, and honestly I don't know why hes in the band, probably vai wants to feel like zappa and take on dave as an apprentice, Tony however is an amazing shredder, he really has some awesome chops, the song hundreds of thousands has sweep picking 16th notes at 300bpm and the other shredding in it is 8th note triplets.

Yeah, MacAlpine is the fastest in the Breed. I think Weiners only reason for being in the band is so he can play backup guitar while Tony is playing keyboards. He has the best job in the world though, doing relatively easy guitar parts, and getting paid by Steve Vai.

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Well, has anyone heard/own/checked out Dave's solo record?

[frog_friend]

I might pick it up this weekend if i can find it and have the money. He has such a cool last name " weiner". It was funny when during the astoria concert everyone was chanting weiner during his solo

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

[The UG Squirrel]

whos the fastest bassist?

[pavan]

i met joe satriani yesterday !! and then went to the best show of my life!

i asked him when g3 was coming to india. he said probably next year. he then added that steve vai and john petrucci were jealous of him because he got to play in india.

i told him that he was divine inspiration. i asked him if he would let me play in g3 after like 10 yrs when i become a good guitarist. he laughed and said, " gotta practise hard for that ". i asked him if he had any news about jason becker and he said no. he was showing some people his site and a forum there, and said that he reads the stuff in the forums quite regularly. i wanted to ask him some better questions, but he was whisked away by the stupid security.

then in the evening, he was unbelievable. his performance was nothing like what we hear in the records, and after every song there were divine legatos. i was awestruck. this man played like 10times faster than what we hear in the studio albums, and at one point after some song, he just went on and on and on, sweeping, tapping, like a crazy ****.

this man is a true god. you gotta catch him live.

now I'm not much of a religious fella, but I'd urge you to know your facts before posting them, none of the Indian Gods were bald, most of 'em pretty much did go for the rockstar accoutrements and Shiva pretty much spent his days tripping on hash - none of them are pagan gods. Paganism is a completely different religion, closely linked with druidcraft and wicca. why can't you stupid dickheads get your facts right, though I s'pose it's really hard to take in much up there... alas...

[Freepower]

^ paganism isnt just a religion, its what christians would call most non-christian gods, factboy...

And its funny, coz christianity is just a big pagan rip off.

And when the Catholic found evidence of this, they generally destroyed it, explanation being "Satan went back in time before Jesus, and started christianity to discredit REAL christianity!".

But anyway, religion thread with that shizzle.

Christianity started off as a branch of Judaism.

And I'm sorry, there's no POSSIBLE way you can take a monotheistic religion and call it a ripoff of any polytheistic one. :haha

That's like saying Gamecube ripped off Game And Watch.

[Freepower]

The pagans werent actually polytheistic, they just seemed like it, and the common populace was allowed to believe it. Then you were initiated into the mysteries.

The story of the son of god, comeing down to earth, human form, virgin birth, death on the cross for our sins, was all written by pagans.

However, the new testament was written by alexandrian jews, who embraced the pagan religion and wrote it new way to explain it to the Jews (that was allowed in paganism). Somewhere along the way, idiots took over, and killed all the true pagans (well, most of em) and then they ALL took it literally and decided to kill everyone who disagreed. Even forged extra bits into the new testament...

So, are we both right or do you want to dispute that?

There's nothing to dispute, I wasn't arguing or anything, just pointing something out lol.

"Paganism" isn't a religion. It's an insanely vague term that (at first, used derogatively) is used to describe any polytheistic belief.

The ancient Romans were pagans, the Greeks were pagans, the Norse were Pagans, the Sumerians, etc etc. Even though they all had different gods, beliefs, practices, rituals, and so forth, they are still classed as "pagans", which becomes a bit of a misnomer.

Satriani is unreal live. I was fortunate enough to see him at the House of Blues in Chicago for his Evening With...tour. He sounds so amazing live, even live cds don't do him justice. The solo to "War" had to be 5 times faster than the record, and he never looks strained. Before I saw him live, I thought it was ridiculous that people say he played 32 NPS live, but now I believe it. If anyone has the chance to see him live, GO!!

By the way, pavan, do you remember the songs that he played?

[Dreadnought]

I saw him on the Evening With... tour as well.

Sheer brilliance :D

[SnowballofDoom]

The song list from that tour was great. I almost had a heart attack when he played Hordes of Locusts.

Satch is amazing with the crowd too, even if you don't play guitar, you can still enjoy yourself at his concerts.

[Dreadnought]

[Beckerism]

Alright I've been looking along time now, and I haven't been able to find a single good tab/powertab of Black Stallion by Jason Becker. All the ones I've seen are all different, and none of them seem right. Some help please.:(

[The UG Squirrel]

what song do you think has the best sounding sweeping?

im gonna have to say serrana

[godofshred]

hmmm..i cant remember the song..but paul gilbert does some amazing sweeping!!!! i got some vids on m pc if him..he is so...so...fluent and smooth

[SnowballofDoom]

Yeah, Paul is a monster at sweeping. Viking Kong has some cool sweeps in it, they're not the focal point of the song or anything, but they're very good and very fast.

Scarified has some crazy sweeps in it too, but they're used in the song itself, not just the solo.

[Freepower]

my favourite sweeps are the ones in...

Oh, dunno. Just clean sweeps... (love).

Thats why i have them in my latest song...freepower, sweeping? And tapping? Er, wtf?

Shameless self promotion, but i think you guys'll like it more than my usual stuff.

But seriously...id say cooley or yngwie use them very well musically.

I dont know any players who sweep much who play clean, but id love to hear one, i think it would be utterly fantastic. Linky anyone? Added some tappers to my links page. Guy doing bach got a crazy guitar face.

[Axegrinder#9]

hahaha Frank Gambale's "Gambale When it's Wet" has got some of the most scariest sweeps I've seen... "Serrana" by Jason Becker most definitely... a lot of Malmsteen stuff has liberal amounts of sweeps, but they are arranged in a manner which in itself for a decent shredder, shouldn't be too difficult, when one has got hold of sweep picking. Michael Romeo plays some sweet sweeps during the intro to "Smoke and Mirror's" not blitzkrieg speed, but very well arranged and sounds killer. (not easy to play in its entirety by any margin) Michael Angelo's "Speed Kills" of course must be mentioned for some really fast sweep/tapping... but Frank Gambale pretty much pwns in this particular technique! putting speed aside, the quirky shapes that he executes thru sweeps is simply amazing.

^^^^^argh! stop spamming!


any gambale songs to recommend

[Axegrinder#9]

^ loads. keeping sweeping in mind, download "Gambale when it's Wet", "6.8 Shaker", "Dangerous Curves", heh there are way too many songs! infact you might wanna get hold of the entire Passages album. Explorers is another great album! Also there is a lotta stuff he's collaborated with Shawn Lane & Brett Garsed, on the Centrifugal Funk album I think. And there is another album which speaks complete pwnage, though I have to hear it myself - both Frank Gambale and Allan Holdsworth, on this album called Truth in Shredding!

[frog_friend]

I like beckers sweep the best. I hate it when people use them alot though, it just stops sounding musical after a while

[The UG Squirrel]

yeah, if you do sweeping unmusically for ages it sounds like nintendo music...and we dont want that

[Freepower]

^^ exactly - after a while, its just a noise getting higher and lower.

[Resiliance]

All music is a noise getting higher and lower ;)

[public property]

^ I was thinkin exactly the same thing.
And its the same with any music. its just that all sweeps sound so similar at high speed that they become pretty much the same sound, therefore if you listen to them for a while, then you get tired of it quickly.

[Freepower]

Tut tut, some music has a noise, then a noise higher or lower (with phrasing resi!).

Its when theres fast sequences of identical noises with no phrasing it sounds like ONE noise getting higher or lower.

But using interesting sweeps really helps.

[Resiliance]

^Get on msn, ****face, I've got some stuff to send.



But yes, I believe that the way you phrase the notes is more important than the actual notes.

Random shred-related question: How much shred records you see on your local music stores? Here in Finland the situation is pretty good. I see quite a lot shred records and dvds.

Just bought Live At Astoria London by the way. It's quite amazing, allthough Steve's guitar sounds out of tune in some places.

[SnowballofDoom]

At the Best Buy near my home, there's a decent selection of shred records. Usually 4-5 Vai and Satriani cds, and maybe 3-4 Malmsteen cds. They always have Vai's Astoria DVD, and Satriani's San Fransisco DVD. They have a couple of Dream Theater cds also.

I did find Racer X: Technical Difficulties and Street Lethal there, but those were the only Racer X cds they had; most of my shred cds were bought online.


Congrats on your JEM7VWH, by the way.

Well, the Best Buy by me carries just about no Shred whatsoever. They have Steve Vai's Anthology, everthing Satch has ever put out, and Yngwie's Greatest Hits. Thats all i have ever seen at best buy.

But I dont go to Best Buy too much, considering they dont carry alot of good records, theres this local cd shop by me that i go to, They have everything. Used and New. Its actually the place where i got the unbelivably hard to find, Powers of Ten. They seem to carry allot of Marty Friedman as well, havent seen much Jason Becker there, nor Cacophony.

None.

Meh, thats a hard question, Vai has put it out/ is putting out some great stuff.

My favorite album would have to be Alive in an Ultra World, just because of its sheer brilliance and every track on that album from start to finish is great. But then again allot of Vai records are like that.
Favorite song off of it? Eh, I guess i would have to go with Giant Balls of Gold, its just an all-around great song. Great Riff's, and Playing. Cant beat that Into Riff. And of course, its an awsome name.:p:

[kyle_afi]

Favorite album is RI:R, or Anthology, which doesn't really count.

Favorite song off RI is probably building the church. I love the feeling that it creates for the listener.

[Stratwizard]

I think my favourite Vai album is his anthology or Passion And Warfare. Then probably RI:R. It's impossible to say which is my favourite cause there are so many.

[public property]

I'm really digging call it sleep (flexable) and misfits (mystery tracks) right now.

[Resiliance]

Well, I'm not as much of a Vai fan as some of you guys...

I really can't say, I've got a few favorites, spread out over his oeuvre.

[Freepower]

Im not a Vai fan, but i like him and have immense respect for his unique genius, his composing and his skills. That said, FTLOG, i never saw what all the fuss was about.

So that definately ISNT my favourite.

[public property]

So what is your favourite free powergen?

[Freepower]

i wish i knew, but sadly im lacking in Vai stuff...wouldnt do him justice to choose from what i have.

[sixteen times]

My favourite Vai song is Tender Surrender, or the Silent Within.

:cheers:

[Axegrinder#9]

favourite Vai album? really difficult to say that, but I guess right now, Real Illusions: Reflections has gotta be my favourite... I mean I was blown away by the sheer energy and innovation... I mean he's combined the best of Passion & Warfare and Fire Garden Suite, which are my other favourites

I wasn't really that impressed with Real Illusions to be honest.

I like Alien Love Secrets and Fire Garden the best.

My favourite songs are Tender Surrender, Warm Regards and Boston Rain Melody.

:cheers:

[vaishredder]

haha my topic is actually succesful:) My favourite album would have to be Passion And Warfare...I don't have Flexable or Alive In The Ultra World(only vai Cd's I dont have!) 2nd would have to go to RI:R then Alive love secrets/Fire garden.............My Favourite song of off PAW would have to be...All of them! lol

But mosrlty its The Riddle,Erotic Nightmares,Liberty,Blue Powder,The audience is listening,The Animal and FTLOG

EDIT: Wierd thing is, Vaishredder worships steve vai and i had better seats then he did:bonk:

hehe damn right, I had sick seats tho. The light side always wins cough*Vai,SAtch,Petrucci,Glibert*cough

[jasonbecker]

I'm kind of Bored of Steve Vai right now....

But the song of my choice would be, hmmm, maybe Freak Show Access? I don't know, they're all great.

[pavan]

Alien Love Secrets would be my fav Vai album of all time, though my tapes almost worn out and i am showing signs of over-familiarity. juice would be my fav track off it.

What is the cheapest guitar that I can buy that is good for shred, and has a FR type tremolo system that will actually hold it's tuning? The ole squire strat doesn't have much whammy capability...

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^A used MIJ RG would do you very nice.

Look into all RG's in the 500 series.

[Axegrinder#9]

hey guys I thought I'd let ya fellas know that there's a competition goin on in the Riffs & Recordings forum called "UG's Top Dog" - the link to the thread: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=211342

it's got rock, metal, shred, blues, and jazz categories. do check it out, and if anyone's up for it, lay down your stuff over the BT's and kick some arse

:peace:

Sure, you dont like industrial death metal, but you want to hear a whole song at 19nps out of curiousity, dontcha?

Lol, resi is referring to my creative output - i generally create a new 2 minutes of "genius" a day, if i can be bothered. A lot more of general ****e as well.

And yeh, lol, its berzerker influenced, i decided that it would be nice to claim to be faster than the berzerker, so i did that song.

And then they announce the next album has a song at 330bpm, lol.

Faster than most shredders dream of - and thats the kinda **** that got me interested in speed.

Anyway, there must be shredders in NY, there always is a small shred community wherever you go. Obvious exceptions excluded.

[Dreadnought]

Eh yea, I have a dmusic...

None of it's shred though, and I don't think any of it is longer than 2 minutes.

And yea, I still have a dmusic (dready.dmusic.com). I haven't updated it in forever, though. My recording quality discourages me.

[shredfan]

Does anybody know where I can find a tab for Freight Train by Nitro?

[The UG Squirrel]

^^ill second that question...i only know what the last section of the solo is

[Guitar_&_bass_1]

Sorry to but in, but I got this totaly awesome video clip of jason becker when he was in cacophony doing a face melter of a guitar solo, with one hand. He then proceds to pull out a yoyo and play with that while whacking out some insane legato licks, then he does the good ole sweep arpeggios at 4000bpm and some other crazy stuff, absolutely awesome, anybody else seen this? Also, has anyone heard jason beckers cover of black star? He did while at high school apparently, I havent heard it yet, But I know it exists...

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^Yes, i saw him cover it in that Jason Becker Documentary. It was very good.

[jasonbecker]

His Black Star cover....I just got one thing to say about that.

He learned a LOT from Marty, and his vibrato in that clip hurts my ears, other than that, was great when he was in high school.(Listen to "too fast, no good for you!"

I finally found a tab for the freight train solo. :cheers:

I got my "badass" quote from somewhere, but lets not start that again.

I also tremtoothbrush occasionally. But not often.

[kyle_afi]

This question is pretty broad, but in your opinion, what is the most technically challenging shred song there is?

[pavan]

i've tried shredding on the comp. keyboard. the chromatic stuff can be fun.

[Freepower]

Most technical shred song? That one of Paus always floating around.

Most technical non-fake? Er, fareri or cooley, one would guess.

[Stratwizard]

Listen shred for free!

Yesterday, when I was surfing on Internet I found this radio on Ernie Ball (http://www.ernieball.com/site/home.php).

Just pick the radio and then select shred for genre. There's pretty good stuff. Gilbert, Vai, Dream Theater, John Petrucci with Jordan Rudess, Vinnie Moore and so on.

[The UG Squirrel]

argh isnt working... do i have to turn a pop-up blocker off or something?

Jeff is a legend. Nobody can use the whammy bar like he can! I wouldn't call him shred though.

BTW someone I knew grew up with Jeff, I can't get him to come for a jam session though. :(

Yeah, Jeff is def. a legend with all of his old stuff, but some consider some of his more recent stuff shreddish. And im wondering about that.

And also, ive always wondered this, is the Seymour Duncan JB Jeff's pickup?

Well im not totally sure on why you dont need, but I know you dont, I was asking Toxicity the same questions for my RG and you dont need it in the neck. F-spacing is for Floyd guitars, and the Bridge is closest to the Floyd i guess, or something. Im sure it would be alright to get them both F-spaced, but i dont think the Neck needs to be. Someone else maybe can clarify that for you.

I'm getting one in the neck, but no F-spaced in the bridge cause I couldn't get one and I wasn't gunna wait a few weeks just to find an f-spaced one somewhere, heck knows where. Anyways, Vai just grows and grows on me. Passion and Warfare is so damn amazing. FTLOG, Answers, Liberty. All great songs, except I heard The Riddle again and I noticed some riff pieces in one part from Answers and is that supposed to be there?

Jeff Beck is nothing less then Legendary especiallyThe Jeff Beck group its a shame he never got as reconised as his conteperaries Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page all three were in the Yard Birds by the way.Something I found out recently was that Rod Stewart was the early lead Singer of the Jeff Beck group which kinda caught me by surprize

Its funny I was watching Metal Mania on Vh1 Classic and they played Island in the Sun by Alcatrazz it was quite a humerous site everyone was all dressed up in their metal
outfits and Grahm Bonnet was wearing sun glasses flanel pants and a shirt and tie Yngwie was in it to and he actually played a solo that went with the song. I realise he really has lost his ability to keep up with his earlyier self not one slopy note in the solo love to see Yngwie play it now.

[pavan]

howcome whenever i watch vh1 there's only shows about celebrities and how they treat their pets ??

yngwie malmsteen is very good in any alcatrazz song and all his solos go with the song.

paul gilbert is very cool too, as is steve vai

i think steve vai.
steve vai's emotions compliment his playing. from what i've seen from the g3 dvd's maybe steve vai.

he's pretty clever at all these stage theatrics.

two weeks ago, i went to a satriani concert. Hes got pretty good stage presence too. He was running all over the stage for 2 and a half hours or so (although he did much more than just that) . i heard he had a 3 hour rehersal before that. pretty good stamina for a 49 year old man.

Get some elastic bands and put them around all your fingers and thumb on your fretting hand. Then open and close your fingers and it will get strength up quite quickly. You may need more elastic bands or "double up" a single elastic band depending on what bands you are using.

Or fully extend all your fingers (so they are as far apart as possilble) and then make a fist, then fully extend repeat for a LONG time. You need to do it pretty quickly too if you do it slowly it won't do anything.

Is it just me or does everyone get annoyed by people who don't recognise the skill it takes to play shred. I was sitting in a guitar shop playing Tender Surrender on a JEM 7VWH(sp?) and this girl came up to me and said "that's rubbish, all that is is finger tapping. I bet you can't play What's may age again by blink182, Tom finds that difficult to play so it must be hard."

Why are these people allowed to pollute our guitar shops? And even more, the are in sound control where the keep the Ibanez guitars.

[Freepower]

^ i dont get annoyed by it. I generally have to tell people what im doing is easy, not that its hard.

Why not show her something actually hard? Ask her for a tab and play her the song, do a song in her kind of style. Make it a learning experience and dont bitch on UG, there are tonnes of threads where you'd be really welcome.

that happened to me once. Our school once took us to an old age home where all these old people live. We were supposed to entertain those people. Someone brought a guitar along, and I thought why not play it to them. I played a piece in Indian classical music with my fingers all over the fret board. When I finished, one of the old ladies told me, " Can you play jingle-bells" or some other christmas carol which I cant recall. I told her that I couldn't and she told me about some sister Agnes who was very good at guitar and who could play that carol. She also advised me to learn to play the guitar.

Not that I am bitching or anything, but people who dont play the guitar or are not much into music obviously dont understand the delicate subtle nuances.Anyway it was a nice experience entertainging all those old people with my really really stupid jokes.

I bet you can't play What's may age again by blink182, Tom finds that difficult to play so it must be hard."

Why are these people allowed to pollute our guitar shops? And even more, the are in sound control where the keep the Ibanez guitars.
yeah, those people are everywhere. its also always funny when people get themost expensive guitar and the most expensive amp in a shop set up, turn it up so everyone on the block can hear it, and then then play 'come as you are' or 'nothing else matters'. and they think theyre hot sh!t. its just ridiculous.
