[Resiliance]

ya of course!
So resi, who's ya latest musical obsession?

Hmmm... Still jazzing.

Resi, now you must die. seriously, listen to Shpongle (any damn album) or Hallucinogen, especially the album called "In Dub". Alternatively if you don't dig either too much, you can always try taking the backdoor to psytrance, by listening to the Disco Biscuits or Ozric Tentacles (both I recommend to the highest degree).

Okay, though I do know Ozric Tentacles and I'm not particularly fussed.

if I may, I'd recommend that you listen to the albums, "Pungent Effulgent", "Spirals in Hyperspace" and "The Floor's too Far Away".

alot of their earlier albums have terrible production values.

but since you're into the jazz trip, I'd ask that you check out some of Pharoah Sanders collaborations, with Mr. Bill Laswell or Alice Coltrane. ****'ll blow your brains out.

psychedelic trance (goa trance/downtempo/ambient/progressive) folks, that's where it's at.

It's amazing how many serious guitar players (eg. Steve Hillage of Gong) or Simon Posford (Hallucinogen/Shpongle) just dropped a lotta acid and took to electronic music. Jim Morrison had once prophesized about how a single person would be using technology to create the most innovative and interesting music.

It pisses me off thus, when people diss Satch's "Engines of Creation" for example.

Check out Barry Finnerty's ( guitarist for Miles Davis, Brecker Brothers on Heavy Metal Bebop, Taj Mahal and others ) Trazz! album. Trance with jazz guitaring. Not exactly my cup of tea, but what the hell.

How's their other stuff? I'm really interested, because I only have their material with Buckethead... for obvious reasons. :p:

[Axegrinder#9]

^ you mean Ozric Tentacles with Buckethead? are you sure? I don't think Buckethead has played with them on any album. correct me if I'm wrong and tell me which albums!

but if you're talking about Laswell, then yea, Buckethead's played on the 2 Praxis studio albums and the one live album. Bill Laswell's projects are all very varied, in fact, the other Buckethead album he produced, called "Death Cube K" is just Buckethead making guitar noises and such. but yea any of Laswell's other albums are worth checking out - they're usually real chill and cool, with pronounced dub and electronica styles, and flowing strains of Indian classical music. That's the template with which he handles his productions.

No, no, no I'm talking about Arcana with Laswell, Buckethead, and Sanders. I was wondering what other material with Sanders, and Laswell stuff is like. Don't worry, you know don't need to tell me anything about Buckethead stuff, because I know almost ALL there is to know. :)

Thanks man. :cool: Used a bit of FL Studio and Pro Tools. Played all the instruments with MIDI keyboard, except the drums were mostly programmed. About the synths... the one you hear in the background playing the fifths is actually a organ plug-in with some delay and reverb put through a distortion effect. Then there's just basic synth bass with a little delay. The lead is a synth that came with the Pro Tools, had to tweak a little bit though.

[thefoldarsoldar]

I think this qualifies as random....

So as many of you know, a lot of professional guitarists use these picks called jazz 3s. I heard so much good stuff about them and saw them on the cover of a magazine I decided "I'll give them a try."

But then to my dismay, the guitar shop thats close by, and the one I go to for lessons, DOESN'T STOCK THEM.

So I have to wait for an excuse to go out to Capital blvd where theres a guitar center. Oh, the waiting was agony. But it would all be worth it. A few weeks later there was a sale at a store down by there that my mom wanted to go to!

So as she was shopping around, I was in guitar center looking for the accessories corner. Then I saw them, small and perfect, in bags of six. But alas, there were two varieties, red and black. So I got 1 of each. Then on the way home I could stand it no longer, and tore open the bags to try and differentiate between red and black. I've noticed that the black ones are stiffer. And I also noticed with excitement...

THEY GAVE ME 7 OF THE BLACK ONES INSTEAD OF 6!!!







:)

So yeah who else likes Jazz IIIs, and do you use reds or blacks?

[Stratwizard]

I use only Jazz IIIs nowadays. I use the red ones, because any of the guitar stores near me don't have the black ones.

[tombo32]

^ I've been meaning to try the Jazz III's. I'm pretty sure Paul Gilbert was using the red ones when he came to Sydney in Febuary.

Hey, nice drum programming there! The lead sounded a bit sloppy, probably because of the vibrato. Good stuff though. I take it you like Gilbert quite a lot, eh? :cool:

[Freepower]

^ black, slashed-with-a-breadknife JazzIIIs are the only way to go.

Tombo, i basically ditto all your comments in that thread and add another - slop :no:

Still better than a lot of the shite i hear by a long mile.

What kind of stuff you want to make with the violins then?

EDIT: The one you had in .gp4 sounded wicked!

Basically, i want my music teacher, Mrs.Montgomery (or Big Monty as i like to call her) to play the violin for it. She's brilliant, easily one of the best in the country and could have gone on to more if she hadn't settled down. She went through the piece with me once and checked how playable it was for me (me not knowing about specific fingering issues and the like) - and man, the tone, the feel and the technique were just perfect.

So, essentially, i want a real violinist, playing a great violin. And nothing else will do now i've heard it once. :p:

And what did you think of the piece? A little dry, harmonically static? Criticism is good, as this is a piece i composed without many technical or stylistic restraints and represents a style that's quite mine. Hence criticism here improves my own style not the imitation of someone elses.

Simply amazing, dude. Wtf you should be like beethoven lol.

Thanks for your effusive praise. However, "i like" would have sufficed.

(couldn't be bothered quoting you, lol)

not bad man, although there's the whole atonal quality of it that kinda took away a lot fer me tho :(
If it weren't fer that, it'd be a killer piece of music imo

Ahh, it's still tonal, whether dissonant or not. It's got quite clear key centers. :) (that means thanks btw)

[Axegrinder#9]

SO....has anyone played an RG350MDX?

Thoughts?

yea I had purchased an Ibanez RG350DX couple of years ago and had played it sparingly. the Edge II/III bridge was a joke - I have a licensed FR trem on my Kramer and I am used to resting my hand on the bridge while playing. That was sort of impossible with this guitar, the bridge would literally "float" and cause intonation problems as well varying the pitch of your strings while playing! The pick ups were pretty lame in my opinion, alright if you wanna plug in and set the gain to past 3 o' clock and chug away. I believe the RG350's are made of mahogany, but I found the sound to be lacking any character or depth. The only good point about the guitar was the fretboard, I believe they are Wizard II necks, really awesome for legato-oriented playing, though mine was a rosewood fingerboard. The maple fretboards probably have a different feel (I personally like playing on maple fretboards). However despite the awesome fretboard, while playing the guitar always seemed "flimsy" and since I pick most of my notes as opposed to profuse legato approach, it seemed really "loose" and lacking in any body, and that affected my playing. And forget playing sweeps on the guitar, I certainly couldn't.

So my advise would be to stay away from the low-end RGs, unless you buy one, keep it for 2 years and go to another country and sell it at a $150 profit on the current market price :liplick: :devil:

[Shreddin 4 Life]

pretty in-depth review man - thanx fer the heads up :)

[TheUltimateSin]

^well I will definitely take all of that into account. I was just curious because the shop in my town finally got a guitar that wasn't a ****ty Squier. I think they finally realized that the players from my area are sick of them ordering garbage, so it looks like they are starting to get stuff in from Ibanez, and that was the model they had. I don't really use any legato in my playing(Mainly because I am incapable of it :p: ), so even taking that neck into account along with your experience with one, I see no real incentive to get that 350.

I spoke with the guy that owns the store, and he mentioned possibly getting in RG2570E's and RG1570's. What would you say about those as well? I have no experience with Ibanez guitars save for a few very low-end models that various friends have purchased for themselves and I have messed around on, so I wouldn't know what the decent/good models are(sometimes high price tags lie :) ). I mean, basically, I am trying to find something with a good trem, lightweight, good stock pup's, and easy/fast playabilty. That's where you more "experienced" chums are very helpful :)

[Axegrinder#9]

I spoke with the guy that owns the store, and he mentioned possibly getting in RG2570E's and RG1570's. What would you say about those as well?

well I haven't played either of those two guitars, but from what I hear, they are pretty good guitars. it's just that I'd make sure what kinda bridge they have, though I guess since these are higher end RGs they'll probably have Edge Pro trems.

The thing is, the RGs have this "metal" guitar aura about them, which ultimately speaks volumes where playability is concerned, but I just don't dig that vibe. I've been looking at the Ibanez S series guitars, which have mahogany bodies, and are advertised as being very versatile guitars, which run the gamut from metal to session work and jazz. The one which has caught my eye has been the Ibanez S2170 Prestige model, they have bubinga necks and look real neat, like some hot-rodded vintage super strat (yah oxymoronic, but let it pass).

however, I would suggest that if you had the oppurtunity, definitely look into the higher end RGs, there's an RGTA220 prestige which I really dig, and it has a natural finish and old-school vibe to it (looks-wise, I haven't played it!).

also, check out the resources at harmony central, they've been pretty helpful at times.

peace out.

[HammerForce]

Sin, how much money are you willing to spend?

As for the RG1570, they are alright guitars, not really for me though.

I think they have maple fretboards as standard, I prefer maple or ebony. The neck I think was a wizard 2 so it would probably have the same feel as the one on the 350EX (I happen to love these necks). The trem seemed fairly stable but I didn't really try anything fancy with it I think it was an Edge Pro. The pickups are the stock Ibanez V7, V8 humbuckers and a single coil maybe an s1 (can't remember off the top of my head). I thought the pickups sounded a bit empty, unless at high gain. But like with any other non Dimarzio equipped Ibanez I'd recommend changing them if you bought the guitar. Not sure what kind of wood it is but fr some reason Alder sticks in my head.....

Hope that was helpful...ish

[TheUltimateSin]

Sin, how much money are you willing to spend?

As far as money is concerned, I haven't set a price limit on myself yet because I am not sure which model(s) would suit my needs yet. As I said, my goal is: Good trem, good stock pups, fast/good neck, lightweight body. Of course, I would prefer to shoot for something quite under $1,000, but at the same time I don't want a low-end piece of junk that will crap out on me.

Lol, it's ok FP.

I have an RG1570 they're absolutely awesome, the Wizard II neck is wonderfully delightful and very skinny. It has 24 frets(jumbo of course) rosewood fretboard, and basswood body. It's HSH pick-up set up. And of course the Edge Pro bridge.(Not the ****ty II and III ones, or the IMO the less utilizable lo edge pro) The guitar is awesome in every aspect me thinks. The only thing to change would be the pick-ups, which of course you could change to your liking.

I would have to say Rusty Cooley - I'm convinced that there's nothing he can't do :eek:

[Freepower]

Seriously? If we mean, variety of styles and skillz, it's guthrie out of who i'm aware of. My future teacher also, btw. :p:

If not, i'm up for shawn. At first he doesn't seem that varied but he actually has quite a few tricks in his bag - and two more instruments at virtuosic level, which i think is pretty good for variety. :p:

Then again, teh old Holdsworth is still going strong and he does better what shawn did faster when it comes to legato.

Seriously though, thats a funny question.

Although all three of those guys could eat rusty for breakfast (could guthrie? in many ways, yes, but in an old school scales n' sweeps battle?) so i think you might want to check em out if you haven't. :D

Shawn Lane is pretty close imo - although ur point about the other intruments is quite convincing...

[sheumack111]

Eh...I honestly can not stand the feel of regular strats for some reason, to be honest >_>

Fair enough. I simply find them well rounded guitar which you can play anything on, whether that be shred or country.... :p:

[public property]

Although all three of those guys could eat rusty for breakfast (could guthrie? in many ways, yes, but in an old school scales n' sweeps battle?) so i think you might want to check em out if you haven't. :D

You have to hear guthrie live to know how accurate he is, even non guitarists can hear every note while hes blazing.

As for my answer... Yep, Guthrie.

[Stratwizard]

Guthrie. :)

[Kailoq]

^Ditto!

He can play almost any style you can imagine and his improvisation always (from what I've heard) has very nice phrasing!

On exactly which of my 3 DVDs and single live CD should i check the veracity of this? :p: :D

That reminds me, should be seeing Pete Riley again this year at IGF, and John Wheatcroft is teaching the Level 5 class - anyone who plays bass can get a weeks lessons (a good 25 hours of lessons here) from Stu Hamm, as well. Basically, everyone here who could make it could consider it. It'd be 600 quid, but then again, 25 hours of lessons from the UK's best teachers... (And a concert every night, including a great fusion outfit or two, usually - last year i was front row for Pete Callard!)

I even have a contact now should i want to start writing for Guitar Techniques (though i don't really think i have owt to contribute or enough stuff for consistently good articles even if they did take me in...). UK guitarists, take note - serious people attent that festival.

Are you kidding? Guthrie would own Rusty sideways.

I mean at pure ol' fashioned scales and sweeps... i'm not kidding. I think Rusty's better at that particular style.

[Resiliance]

Well, put Rusty on Guthrie's setup and he wouldn't sound so great anymore.

[Prophet of Page]

So, since I was here last, I had exams and started working again, what's new?

[Axegrinder#9]

^nothing obviously.

and on topic - yea Guthrie Govan is kind of scary, scarier than Rusty Cooley, because unlike Cooley's music, I can groove to the stuff that he plays. which makes it really ****ing scary, when I think exactly how ****ing good this guy is.

[Hidde]

^ pah, my future tutorage by Guthrie trumps your liveage. :p:

How'd you manage that?

[Freepower]

^ got a place in BIMM. :) And you can get one-on-one tutorage if you're willing to ask for it and pass the first year. When i was at their open day i met a guy who was a Guthrie pupil, he was pretty damn good and we had a little chat about Guthrie and Shawn and funk guitar. :)

[Godly Moose]

I'm still tied with Govan and Thal, since Govan has only one album to really reference. While Thal has all his seven albums. I think to hear Thal's genius, and ridiculously scary chops, you have to really explore all his albums, not one album is like the other. They both also can improv like madmen. So I'm going to stick with tied, until I either find some one who is more of a beast, or until I see Govan capable of rising above Thal or vise versa.

I really hate comparing artists. :(

Marco Minnemann is the new Necrophagist drummer!!!

Necrophagist is excited to announce Drumming phenomenon and luminary MARCO MINNEMANN as the new permanent drummer. Marco will start playing drums for Necrophagist on the upcoming SUMMER SLAUGHTER Tour starting June 1st 2007, sponsored by Ibanez, TAMA and Revolver Mag. The band is absolutely stoked to announce that Marco Minnemann will be drumming on the NEW Necrophagist album, due in 2008. We can't wait to work on arranging the new songs with such an incredibly talented, proficient and complete musician/composer. The list of musicians Marco collaborated with throughout his impressive career includes but is not limited to legends such as Paul Gilbert, Mike Keneally, Allan Holdsworth, Terry Bozzio, Chad Wackerman etc...

:D :D :D

[TheUltimateSin]

^:eek: Thats awesome. I can't wait for that album!

[Stratwizard]

I wonder if Sami Raatikainen still plays guitar in Necrophagist...

[bucky_2300]

^ Wiki says he still is.

[Stratwizard]

Okay, cool. :cool: He's definitely one of my favourite Finnish guitarists. I remember seeing him a while back playing in a band called Codeon and already then thought that this guy really has skills. I heard he tabbed Onset of Putrefaction in a week. :eek:

[Godly Moose]

:D :D :D

Yeah, I saw them last Friday, and he did an awesome like 10 minute drum solo. He's very talented indeed.

I wonder if Sami Raatikainen still plays guitar in Necrophagist...

He still does, the only thing is though he looks kinda bored when he plays, but he can play like a mother****er that's for sure.

Well, those metalheads never cease to amaze me. I will admit that they're right about a fusion drummer being unable to play metal - but with the mere application of logic, they could have figgered out that meant Marco must have been a METAL drummer playing FUSION. Duh.

[Stratwizard]

I dunno... my band's drummer is a die-hard death metal drummer but he can also play fusion effortlessly, not to mention funk.

[Freepower]

Damn you.

[Resiliance]

Fusion drummers can't play metal? My ass. Any accomplished drummer in fusion could easily do metal as well as most other genres.

Of course I'm not talking about those look at how fast I can go with my double bass fags though. Those aren't drummers :p:

[Axegrinder#9]

clearly you haven't heard much of Virgil Donati, Vinnie Caloautia or Terry Bozzio.

In order to make life easier, i will now refrain from sarcasm. In short.

Fusion drummers can play metal because they're great.

EDIT: ^By the way I think it's about time that UG had a code of that nature (but about UG related stuff)

[Godly Moose]

Alright, I just listened to a couple songs from Joel Hoekstra(Off of his myspace). The only way I could describe what I heard would be, Mattias meets Buckethead, with a little bit of Thal sprinkled on top. I enjoyed it a lot though. I might order his album this weekend or next, or when ever I have the time.

[Erc]

Hmm, I had this idea last night. I'm gonna quit coming to UG for a month and spend all the time that I'd usually spend on UG practicing. Just to see if I improve any faster/much faster just so I can prove once and for all to myself that UG is a very very evil thing.

[TheUltimateSin]

Hey shred forum:

I was wondering? After you guys write a solo how do you go about writing a rythm part to go behind it?

[PooKoo]

Usually i try to write a solo based around chord changes in my head, or over a set rhythm already.
That way i can make it much more interesting, by following (or in most cases, not following) what's going on.

[Freepower]

Hey shred forum:

I was wondering? After you guys write a solo how do you go about writing a rythm part to go behind it?

How can you write a solo and have no idea at all about what would go under it? Just create the sound that you want using your skills. If you don't know what you want, figger it out, experiment, whatever. If you don't have the skills, gain them.

[Stratwizard]

You need to know the key the solo is in and then you just use the chords you want.

[tubab0y]

you can always cheat and come up with something chromatic to go underneath.

[Scorzerci]

I found a folder on rapidshare that has lots of tabs and guitar/theory related books. There are a lot of pretty much useless things there, but there are quite a few realy helpful things, among others it has The principles of correct practice for guitar by Jamey Andreas, some books by Jamie Aebsorsold and lots of old guitar magazine scans (check out the guitar school september 1989 issue)
