** The Random Shred Chat Thread **

[Freepower]

^ hey, i resent that, it took me over 2 days to learn come as you are's intro riff. It was a big acheivment at the time.

Yes, i AM the least talented guitarist ever! :headbang:

This was the 1001st post in this thread, btw.

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.

That happens to me as well quite often, but you just gotta live with it... :rolleyes:

[wil]

the weirdest thing is, i can play quite a lot of 'difficult' songs, but for some reason I find the Whats My Age Again riff pretty hard to play, although ive never spent a great deal of time on it, and i dont mind admitting it, im not like some of the other people on this board who maintain they can play every song ever.

I prefer kids playing nirvana etc in a music shop to some kid who fluffs his way through the sweet child o mine intro or god forbid, atte mpts eruption and fails miserably. just as bad are the kids who'll play some jazz chord, let it ring for five seconds, then play another one- minor sevenths are always a favourite-, then look meaningfully into space before playing some lame-ass descent on the bass strings and then ending on another annoying, discordant and extravagantly named chord- its like they want you to beleieve they just made it up, freeform when really its just some chords off an early chilli peppers song played clean and slow.

[beaker]

abit off topic here, but has anyone else realised how oddly marty friedman has his picking hand!!! surely its not gentle on his wrist!!!

[wil]

He has a mad picking style, he admits it weird, apparently when hes sweep picking he does some mad thing like playing individual downstokes when everyone else would be sweeping back toqwards the ceiling with upstrokes- Or something like that, im sure one of the more, educated, shredders on here can clarify it.

[beaker]

i take it you mean he does individual downstrokes when hes sweeping back up? if so then that is mad, lol

[wil]

something like that yeah, i read an interview with his somewhere and he was going on about his unorthodox picking etc- Its hardly done him any harm though has it?

[RideTheLighting]

can someone reccomend some goood shred scales?

[HammerForce]

I use the harmonic minor most often...Checkout Yngwie's stuff to hear what that can sound like. Melodic minor is also quite cool but i think, no matter what scales you use it just matters that you can come up with some stuff which sounds good, nobody cares if its in a pentatonic minor or anything...Just use everything you know.

Anyway..My question: What is the definition of actual shredding?Is it playing over a certain speed or something? It's just i thought it was a term but I've heard lots of people say 'I can't shred' or 'Alexi Laiho can't shred' so i was just wondering if there was a specific definition of what it means?

[GnobleEnemy]

pardon me, but what exactly is shredding?

[spee]

^playing really fast, thats just a short defintion and there are many debates on that.

[SnowballofDoom]

^^Search this forum, there have been threads about the definition of shred that might help you.

[GnobleEnemy]

thanks, but i really dont want to read 51 pages...SPEE answered anyways, and i did say pardon, so i Was being polite :)

I meant use the "search this forum" feature at the bottom of the 80s Rock, Shred & Progressive main page. Sorry if I sounded rude, but this question does come up A LOT :)

[GnobleEnemy]

okeedokee then, sorry!

[The UG Squirrel]

who do you think is the best shredder who plays a non ibanez guitar?

[Freepower]

well, i can think of yngwie and stump for starters...lol

Cooley, on technique, anyway. He plays Conklin.
Im not sure who else plays what really, so i wouldnt be able to say.

[Resiliance]

Shawn Lane and Greg Howe come to mind.

[Freepower]

^ i wasnt sure what lane played, but he was in my mind...

[Resiliance]

Vigier, the best ;)

Ron Thal uses them too, ofcourse, how could I forget.

Mattius IA Eklundh plays caparison guitars.

:cheers:

[Freepower]

^ he has conklin customs, which are his 8 and 9 stringers, and then other than that he mostly plays Ibanez 7 strings.

becker or petrucci. duh

[Freepower]

ok, this is turning out to be a silly question, as almost EVERYONE seems to not use ibanez now!

Actually he started his musical education with violin and piano before even touching an electric guitar. So, I think he can do it pretty well. ;)

[Resiliance]

^Another thing learnt :p:

[vaishredder]

tony mcalpine kicks ass. Anyone have his solo stuff and if you do what songs do you reccomend.

[pavan]

box office poison, ice princess, rusalka, stream dream, the sage, the vision, the taker, tears of the sahara (with george lynch).

[mariachi2487]

i like macalpine, alot of his stuff is quite emotional, wheras i think stuff from malmsteen's quite emotionless...it's just scales, scales, scales! lol, personally, my fave shredder has gotta be eric johnson. Desert Rose and Cliffs Of Dover are just absolutely amazing!!

Why are you comparing Tony and Yngwie?

[mariachi2487]

...fair point, i guess they're not really the same kind of style....lol, dnt know what came over me there!

[Bassman86]

Last night, Michael Angelo had a clinic at a local guitar shop. There weren't man people there, but he was fucking amazing. I've never seen anyone play like that. I did almost get to see Satch have a clinic there too, but I had to work.

I'm just glad I got to go last night. I got his autograph and was going to get a CD but I didn't have any cash and my mom wasn't able to loan me any then.

A funny thing that did happen though; He was playing his first song and suddenly the power just goes. He said that he was just getting into it and there was still a couple minutes left. When the power went out though, some biker redneck goes, "You played the electricity out!" It was hilarious. I would have preferred to hear the rest of the song, though.

It was an awesome night and I hope to see him again.

[Stratwizard]

^Sounds great! He has had clinics here in Finland as well. However, I've never had a chance to see him live... :(

[Freepower]

[Freepower]

But i just want to finally settle the argument me and you have always had - is it real or a wig?

I just wanna run up and tug his mullet!

[The UG Squirrel]

ive heard hes got a good sense of humour. i think his clinics would be great

[SnowballofDoom]

^He has to have a sense of humor...look at the hair!


He did a clinic at a store near my home last year, but the advertisement was late...why do I have to have a 90 year old mailman? :(

[Resiliance]

It's real I say.

REAL!

[kingal]

i agree real, unless he has used the same wig since the 80's. it would be quite funny to see someone run up and shout "GOTCHA" and yank his hair

Originally posted by The UG Squirrel

He would start saying stuff and then come up to the mic and get a real deep dark voice and finish his sentence. He was quite entertaining. He did play some awesome music, but no jazz. One of his songs did begin with some bluesy riffs, though.

I was surprised when he first came in, though. I've never heard him talk or anything and his name is very Italian. I didn't know he was American and I was actually expecting a very Italian accent:p:. He actually has a kind of dorky voice. He sure makes up for it in his playing, though.

Duh, hes going to get a six neck guitar, and with the power of uber-clean playing he's going to levitate while playing with his feet and hands in harmonies, over the top of the necks.




And the tissues? God knows. I dont want to.

[shredfan]

I saw Michael Angelo at the NEC in Birmingham last year and he was awesome.
He shredded his ass off but, he's also a pretty funny guy. He can keep the crowd entertained even when he's not playing with comedy anecdotes and of course his famous stupid voices. (As featured on his DVDs).
He's also one of the safest down to earth guitarists you will meet and values his fans. Anyone that wants a signature or photograph taken with him can have one. Go to see him if you ever get the chance.

hey guys, can any of you fellas suggest a really cool single coil neck pup for some fusion/shred and occasional metal soloing? in other words a versatile and powerful single coil neck pup.

I was thinking of the Seymour Duncan SHR-1 Hot Rail pup... any others?

[cowboyfromhell9]

every one here seems to talk about ibanez rgs but nothing is said about the sa series. are these as good?

I have the Seymour Duncan Everything Axe Set in my stratocaster. It's the Little 59, the JB Jr, and Duckbucker. The duckbucker is a true SC while the Lil 59 and the JB Jr are both humbuckers stuffed into single coils. You might look into those?

OK, just a question, may actually seem a bit stupid... Is Jason Becker still alive?

I kow he has/had ALS but I can't find anything that says he's alive but the things I've read so far I couldn't find a date to see if they were just written or not. The latest one I saw was 2002.

[Stratwizard]

He's probably alive, but there aren't just any updates of his current condition.

[The UG Squirrel]

youd know about it if he was dead. news about guitarists dying spreads faster than aids around here

[jimisatchsrv]

Originally posted by The UG Squirrel

Actually......AIDS spreads pretty fast around here, thanks to Resi.....haha no I'm just playin.
But yesterday in one of my summer college courses, we were talking about how the installed a "remote" in a guys brain similar to the condition Jason is in, and he can now control things by thinking about it. They've also been able to plant these in deaf peoples brains and enable them to hear again. I don't know if they're computer chip like things or what....that kind of stuff is all to vast for me, but I'm sure you could find some stuff on the net about it. Maybe it would give him the chance to at least write music again?

[Resiliance]

^That was mean and uncalled for :(

[jimisatchsrv]

Originally posted by Resiliance

Hahaha, I'm sorry man :kissass:

[Freepower]

As far as i know, he can write and has written music, which EVH was meant to play...

Anyway, make a becker thread, or better yet, post in one of the ones already here, if you want to know more.

Next question, to put it neatly for the random shred chat thread, whats the most technically complex (on guitar) music that is reasonably slow? Shred seems to push the borders on speed, but lets see who has the most painful chord shapes...

[pavan]

i asked satriani if he had any news about becker ( when satch came down here - read my post on page 34 i think ) and he said that he didnt.

i read something about a brazilian team of doctors who were doing something..... i dont remember what exactly but something that has a 1% chance of him coming back to normal. Someone has even forwarded the info to Becker's site.

well if i somehow make it to a medical college , i will keep becker in mind.

[Stratwizard]

Basically, any Vai song contains quite complex licks, which aren't even played fast. Then, of course you find them in jazz as well.

[power freak]

He wouldn't be able to play like that anyway, but if you consider that as being able to "stretch" then yes I could do 12-24 but I sure as hell couldn't play like that. But actually "playing" I can do 12-21.

How long of fingers do all you mofo's have compared to how far you can stretch? Can you guys give me your middle finger length, and how far you can stretch from... we'll say the 5th fret on the top string?

edit: just checked and my hands are quite small. My middle finger on my left hand measures about 78 mm and I can stretch from the 5th to the 13th fret on the top string.

[Freepower]

I think about the 10th fret...i have a song or two that includes that. Probably JUST the 11th, if i dont have to actually play it, lol.

[SnowballofDoom]

I can actually play something from the 5th to the 10th fret. I can stretch to the 11th, and if I turn my index finger on its side I can barely reach the 12th fret, but I wouldn't be able to play anything.

My index finger is about 91mm long.

Woah, are your fingers dislocated or saggy or something, cause my middle finger's about 85mm (when measuring on the palm, not the back of my hand) and I can't even stretch from the 5th to 12th fret in a playing situation.

[Contraband]

Exactly. Show us a pic. wow 5 to 13th......

[Freepower]

Lets remember it also depends on the guitar...

[pavan]

my fingers are small. my middle finger is a little over 3 inches.

It's a 22 fret squier strat if that helps. Standard neck length for strats. I don't know. I can comfortable reach from 5 to 12 and play that, but I can barely reach 13, just don't ask me to play with that much of a reach.... I don't know why this is surprising?

[Horny_Seany]

if you play over the top of the neck you can stretch from 5 to 12. just saying.

[Shreddy]

My middle finger is 91mm and I can only reach the 11th from the 5th...

[Freepower]

I can barely get the 11th, my guess was correct! Can sorta play it. But i'll stick to the tenth, thankee very much.

[Dreadnought]

Originally posted by Shreddy

Mine is 75 mm.

I have really short fingers.

EDIT: my highest playable range is from 5 to 11, high E

[Shreddy]

Haha, Dreadnought, you do have small hands...BUT you can still reach as far as I can so I guess it doesn't matter. Is 91mm longer than most middle fingers? Just wondering, some people say I have big hands.

[kyle_afi]

Meh. I think I just have very flexable fingers. I can't dislocate them or anything like that, but I can make pretty large angles between my fingers. When stretching from 5 to 13, I am making roughly a 110-120 degree angle with my index and pinky fingers.

Ok, this is offtopic, but anyone else notice the kind relationship to Vai's Jibboom and SRV"s Scuttle Buttin? Sure, there not exactly the same, but the intro's have that same kinda feel.

[Stratwizard]

It's possible, cause Steve mentions SRV as one of his influences.

[SnowballofDoom]

^^Steve mentions SRV in the commentary for Jibboom on his Astoria DVD.

^You have the best occupation ever :haha


Since I don't want this to be a spam post, has anyone heard Symphony X's selftitled cd?

I like it alright, but Michael Romeo's solos are muffled, and Rod Tyler isn't nearly as good a singer as Russell Allen. What does everyone else think?

[pavan]

thankee Stratzwiz, i like yours too. i always wanted a vai avatar, but couldnt find a nice one.

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^Well you know, all you have to do is find a picture of Vai and crop it down to avatar size.

No respect for my avatar? Pooh Pooh on you guys then.


:p:

[Freepower]

^ i have no respect for any avatar containing metallica... no offense.

Course, i can hardly expect you guys to respect my avatar - its just me....at age 14! Im nearly 17 now...might have to get a new one.

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^Yeah I can understand that, none taken.

[Stratwizard]

Have you noticed that The Shred Forum is on the 4th place on posts compared to other genres on Bands & Artists?

Way to go! Keep posting people!

:cheers:

:p:

i know that, thats what i did for my current angelina jolie avatar.
whaT is meant was i didnt find a vai pic worthy of being "avatared", or if i did, it was already taken by someone else.

i love the weather here. its very cloudy and makes me sleep the whole day.


btw, i just got into an engg college. life is suddenly brighter.

[Stratwizard]

^Congratulations! :cheers:

Edit: Just noticed you have a link to your music. Gotta check it out!

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Congrats on the college pavan.

Hey Stratwiz, can you post a pic of your JEM?

[Stratwizard]

Yeah, sure. :)

[SnowballofDoom]

^What happened to your Jem-Strat?

[lizrdofrichmond]

nice guitar stratwizard.
this is kinda off topic but i am just starting to get interested in shred and was wondering if you guys could recommend some good albums and maybe some tabs to get started on.

[SnowballofDoom]

^For albums, check out the shred recommendation thread right below this one.

Well, I lost some money while on vacation, and that whole project was going to cost allot, which I didnt have. So I decided to put it off for a bit, till im ready and have a nice amount of cash. And I needed a nice acoustic firstly, which is what I got.

Im still going to do it, just not for awhile.

[Stratwizard]

^And could you enlighten us, who aren't so aware of this project? ;)

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Sure. :)

Stratwizard, I'll trade you my guitar for yours maybe? That thing is beutiful...wow.

[public property]

if the looks don't astound you, the tone will.

JEM's FOREVER!!!!

[jimisatchsrv]

Okay this is out of no where but I got to post it anyway. I was at a show at a festival last night of an older cover band, and I sat in on a few tunes with them. Anyway, the lead guitarist for them is pretty good when it comes to covering music, but during the fourth set he plays Cliffs of Dover (by EJ of course). Well the drunken wife of the bass player who was sitting next to me turns to me and says "I've seen Eric Johnson in concert.....and Bob (the guitar player) plays this ten times better then him." It was almost enough to keep me from ever drinking again....

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.



Graspop was shweet :D

[pavan]

I found this really sweet thing. Vai on Satch.


Originally posted by Steve Vai at www.vai.com



My band and I watched Joe's show from backstage on a TV. It was so perfect. His concentration is solid and his playing seems flawless. His command on the instrument is stunning. He squeezes that neck to get every sound and note possible. Reeves Gabrels put it perfectly once when after a 2 and a half hour Satriani performance, he said it reminded him of a prize fighter in the 15th round and he's made every punch his body could muster and still keeps slugging it out (I'm paraphrasing). We were all just looking at each other while Joe was playing, and laughing at how amazing it was. After the show I asked him how it went and he had the nerve to say "Ah, I played kind of sloppy tonight." I told him to shut the **** up before I get sick.







anyone heard of the story when Vai lost his virginity, and had a little problem down there? Or the time he flashed his ass to Satriani?

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

I most likely will be doing that, as long as I can figure out how, Or I have my luthier buddy do it for me. Theres a link in that thread to a website that shows you how to do the cut-out n whatnot.

Or his "experiments" with groupies in the Zappa band? :eek:

[kingal]

^^ what i haven't any of these stories.

[pavan]

I wanted to put them in here, but his journals are currently closed for "maintenance" in his site.

I cant really narrate them in the way Vai has. Those stories are real Jems.

[Shreddy]

Wow, I'm curious now...

[Stratwizard]

I know the story about Vai losing his virginity. If I remember right, he had sex with a very hot girl and they didn't use a condom. So, a day after Steve had a really nasty pain when he peed. They both thought that they had somekind of disease and went to see a doctor. Later on, they got to know it was nothing serious.

It was something like that. I don't remember it exactly, but I have read that story. I wish they put the journal section up again.

[Freepower]

Well, at least she was hot.

:D

Score.

[Stratwizard]

^It was alot more interesting and funnier written by Vai.

Vai also wrote that she was so hot that when they walked on a street even older men looked at her. :p:

Hmm... Though I don't remember, if it was this particular girl, with whom Vai lost his virginity.

[Freepower]

i think a lot of older men stare at teenage girls...

On the other hand, i have REALLY hot female friends. Its bizarre, but not exactly bad. It just ended up that way.

[Stratwizard]

It's not that good to have hot females as just friends... :p:

Wow, what if Steve would have gotten an STD or something? Bummer. :haha

[public property]

I think that story starts with
'In highschool I had the most drop dead gorgeus girlfriend' Or something to that end :p:
And the story about his friend who had his arm burn off for trying to trip the railway tracks :eek:
Vai's life is amazing in itself, thats before hes playing guitar solo.

[Freepower]

He's not a bummer! Didn't you read the story? ;)

Originally posted by Stratwizard

When your girlfriend is hotter still, and you're hopelessly devoted/pussywhipped so that you dont find the friends too tempting, but still nice to look at, then its great.

Besides, hot girls have very few male friends that stay just friends. Im very dependable and a nice guy. Im just helping our gender not look shallow arses.

Lol, and it does have its upsides for the shallow. I've been asked a couple of times to "feel how smooth my legs are!".

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Originally posted by Freepower

Yeah, I know. It said he didnt get anything serious, Im saying what if he could have? :p:


EDIT: And I dont know if you guys have seen this or not, but
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/id/5937559?rnd=1118207674755&has-player=true&version=6.0.8.1024

No Vai, or Satch or anything. And Cobain is number 12.

Excuse me, but
WHAT THE FUCK?

Never listen to magazines.

[Freepower]

Depending on how hot she was, it could have been worth it, lol.

[kingal]

haha

[Freepower]

No, that wasnt very funny, was it? :(

Anyway, as usual, freepower has a new song up, check it out on my dmusic. Its the shameless VH rip off one.

[pavan]

his site is full of really funny stories..... like the time some fire alarm went off and water sprays in the room went off in a press conference, and he went to the adjoining press conference where Satriani was being interviewed, being completely drenched in water.

There are lots of funny incidents.

And about the virginity thing, when he went to the clinic, there was this really hot doctor, who he was hoping would take his pants off or something. I dont remember exactly, but I think she gave him some sorta injection or something, and his "little friend" still hasnt forgiven him.

Quit spoiling them for us, lol.

[pavan]

yeah they're 100 times better when narrated by Vai

[Stratwizard]

Oh, you got yourself a Vai avatar, pavan. :cheers:

[Freepower]

Lol, boring, but effective! Unique!

Someone just called my VH rip off "more emo/screamo than VH"

:(

[Stratwizard]

^:haha

[Resiliance]

I actually liked the main riff too :(

[Shreddy]

Your VH rip off has a too grungey kind of distortion IMO for the main riff, maybe get something smoother, other than that, it kicks ass.

[pavan]

and theres no tapping

[Resiliance]

^The main riff includes tapping.

[pavan]

i was referring to the evh- signature-type tapping, you know...
like in eruption

[Stratwizard]

I have to listen it... ;)

EDIT: Listened it. It's craving for drums. Other than that it's pretty good. :)

[Freepower]

Not fantastic, but definately not emo/screamo, right?

Right!? :wtf:


Pavan, theres tapping in both the main riff, and the end thing, where i had a big blatant punch in. Oh yeh.

Pavan, im afraid that EVH tapping included would mean disclosing one of my favourite lead tapping lines ever. And it didnt fit the song.

And i couldnt be bothered improving something. Those tapping lines either sound fantastic or completely boring. Odds on, with my talent, it'd sound boring.

[pavan]

great song anyways

:cheers:

[Freepower]

Thankee greatly. :D

[Shreddy]

Listening to your stuff makes me want to get better... I really do suck... in my first year of playing I really didn't learn ANYTHING. So I'm starting from scratch again now trying to actually learn how to play goodly( is that a word?).

[Freepower]

Listening to MY stuff? :haha:

I actually literally checked up the thread to see if someone else's music was being discussed.

Well, um, i think the most important thing is to make music you enjoy. MAKE it. Making music teaches you so much about it.

Having a guitar and only playing covers is like having a dick and using it only for wanking.

Sure, its fun, but there are better things to do! Its good to start with, but you need to PROGRESS! (continues in same vein for a while...)

Most important things - learning theory, be open to any kind of music - you can ALWAYS, ALWAYS take something useful away with you, and find your own style by noodling around and learning stuff you really love.

And that said, dont neglect technique, whatcha want to do is practice slowly. Wish I had from the start... :(

EDIT: That said - new song up today fellas, 80s guitar ballady thing. My personal favourite out of my own lead guitar, its nice to see some improvement, y'know?

[Stratwizard]

man you guys out here should check out the guitar players from Necrophagist - these guys are probably the most killer guitar players on the tech/death scene right now - some really clean insane shredding and crushingly heavy stuff... they have been around for some time I believe..

Heard of the band, never heard any music.

Reccomend me a good album?

[Pitch_axis]

By the way, I don't know if anyone posted it but someone was aking about Yngwie Malmsteen "Unleash the Fockin' fury" rant, got a site woith it

[Shreddy]

I have a quick question, I wish to buy another Eric Johnson CD, I already own Bloom and Ah Via Musicom, and I want to buy a more rockish type one again, so should I buy Venus Isle or Tones?

[Freepower]

Lol, axey - someone posted bout necrophagist a wee while ago in this very thread.


Still, i prefer my berzerker. Shred is for pussies! :D

Sorry, missed this post somehow. I doubt you saw that in a short film, the picture was taken on a still analogue camera by my mother when i was fourteen. There is a chain of safety pins through my lip to my ear and my hair is spiky.

Now its past shoulder length, but im thinking of going back to the spikes.

Girls thought i was seriously hot stuff back then - i got the nickname "sexy daniel" from 3 different girls, independantly.

Now im known as "floppy daniel" by my girlfriend. How times change.


For my floppy HAIR, damn you!

[Shreddy]

Hmm, same thing kinda happened to me...
6th grade= cool
9th grade= Hybrid jock/nerd/musician.
Don't get me wrong, but more girls liked me in 6th grade than 9th, but I DO have a lot more friends now. Meh. Now I'm like a hermit with the guitar... :( ( and I still suck)

[Pitch_axis]

oh well it was a weird resembalence, if i find the film ill post it

And to make this post worthwile.... Before, I usually stick around here and see about 10 main people posting about 3 posts a day. Go on a trip, return 1 month later, there are like *5 who is the fastest shredder threads* and 25+ people postin all over the place. Anyone besides me notice this? (Not saying its bad, just give them a few months and they wont think kirk is faster than yngwie ):D

[Freepower]

^ lo, i've definately been posting more than 3 times a day.

But yeh, there have been a lot of newbs and n00bs coming in recently = good thing.

And mad marius has decided to take up shred, and he aint really a n00b or newb.

Didn't get any acknowledgement except for from Axegrinder, and he posts the same thing again and people get interested! Bollocks, I say.

But yea, Muhammed Suicmez (of Necrophagist) is a beast. PERFECT chops, does everything flawlessly. Not to mention, the girls probably trip over themselves trying to get in bed with him.

But, everyone in that band is insane. The drummer is so good and precise that someone was 100% SURE that they had used a high quality drum machine instead of a human drummer. The bassist is just as crazy as Muhammed, and the other guitarist keeps up pretty well.

[Pitch_axis]

anyone else here started playing guitar becouse of shred? Or mostly got into it later?

[Freepower]

I got into it later. And still dont like most of it.

I only noticed shred type music like a month and a half ago, before that, I didn't think Nirvana was half bad. I still can't shred though yet so, I=n00b

[Freepower]

^ you seem nice enough, and not being able to shred makes you a n00b, im a n00b too.

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^Im the super n00b then.

I got into Shred later, I started playing guitar and getting into music because of Alice in Chains/Jerry Cantrell.

[Shreddy]

Well, I guess not being able to shred doesn't = n00b. But I've listened to Freepower's stuff, yeah, and it kicks my feeble attempts at playing guitar's balls. Actually, I think most people in this forum could outplay, but I like it here anyways.

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

Ok, I gotta make my 3000 post in a good thread, so..

Yeah, I enjoy this forum the most over all the other genre's, Modern Rock used to be where I always hanged out because Grunge was like the only thing talked about in there, but its barely talked about now(All the Grunge people(including me) have gone to another website :sad: )

Hey, believe me - you'll have no bother outplaying me soon if you practice.

And i like this forum partly because most people here CAN outplay me! Its how i pick up lots of cool advanced info and techniques.

I know id never have started sweep picking without this forum, and i suppose i've picked up more than that.

Hence why i dedicated "shredola espagnola" to this forum. You guys pwn.

[Shreddy]

^ How long have you played the guitar?
I've played for about a year and now I'm 15... that's off the subject...

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^You wana know what else is off topic? Ive played for 6 years and im 15, and I cant even play an A chord. :eek:

EDIT:Kidding, of couse. :p:

[Shreddy]

Haha, took you a while to put that kidding in there. lol. I think that that was more random than off topic. I've been playing for a year and I can't even do a six string harmonic minor sweep behind my head... I really should be practicing...

[WyldeGibsonPlyr]

^Practice=Good.

Anyways, yesterday(Friday), I saw Deep Purple(with Steve Morse on the geetar) and it blew me away. Around the middle of the set, they did this all instrumental peice, it was written by Steve, but I think its an actuall Deep Purple song. It was fucking amazing!, I didnt catch the name of it, but could someone maybe help here? And can you reccomend me some essential Steve Morse stuff?(IE good Solo records, and good Dixie Dregs(sp?) records?)

Thank you my shred brothers.

[Axegrinder#9]

it may have been the instrumental song called "Contact Lost" from their last studio album 'Bananas'

anyway, I recommend you get 'The Introduction', 'Stressfest', 'Structural Damage' and 'Major Impacts' among Steve's solo albums... actually all of 'em kick major arse

I think it might have been that, I think it might have been called Bananas actually, is there a track called Bananas?

Thanks for the reccomedations.

[Axegrinder#9]

yea there is a track called "Bananas" too - got some really cool keyboard work by Don Airey on that one...

[Shreddy]

I've been listening to some Deep Purple lately, I really like their stuff.
I was also wondering... I see Freepower is from Irleand and axe is from India...so, do you guys have cool accents? Don't answer if you don't want to...

[Axegrinder#9]

haha me, no personally I don't have an accent...

[Freepower]

I have a cool accent, but its not irish. I used to live in a german speaking portion of Switzerland, and so my accents pretty messed up, its a bit weird.

Ask resi, he's heard the voice. Or check out the hobo blues in my dmusic.

[Shreddy]

Freepower, seit dir hast in die Schweiz gewohnen, sprechst du Deutsh? First year german class is paying off, lol. I wish I had an accent... all I have is a deep voice and a northwestern US accent... I don't think anybody thinks that's cool.

Anyway, i'm going to say goodbye to all you SFers, im afraid i have to go away for a week to a camp in donegal. Only acoustic guitar, so i might come back with insane chops and finger strength. Or not, lol.

Me with insane chops is like a flying pig, lol.

So no posts from me and me infinite :rolleyes: wisdom, and no more new songs...for a week. Hehehehehe.

I also can't sleep, so I guess I'm going to read some crappy book or something.
