I love "i'll never fall in love again"

dragonland-astronomy tad morose-matters of the dark I'd never heard Fairyland before-now listening to master of the waves...holy shit.

I wouldn't consider classical music a good influence if your just learning to play/write music. It's harmonic richness and emotional tempestuousness really doesn't translate well to most heavy metal, or any other form of popular music."neoclasscial" metal usually just employs the melodic...

thanks for the input. They actually do start on the same note. I heard both parts i my head and then worked on figuring them out on the guitar. The lead was easier and came first. To figure out the rhythm I started with the first not of the lead an octave lower for the chug, then the top part...

I accidentally stumbled on Andy McKee some time last year just randomly searching for beautiful acoustic work. I also discovered this song by GP hall, not as technical as the candyrat guys, but beautiful none the less

this is a riff I wrote recently in the style of Behemoth I was specifically hoping to get some feedback on the counterpoint playing/timing/tone a little sloppy, but you should get the idea http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zijzzvqwmqz riff played four times, then each part separated...

yeah. i don't think WAIF was suggesting that you need dedicate tons of time to mastering an instrument, simply that having hands on experience with the rudimentary info that BMWG outlined would be of great help. If its not financially an option at this time, then so be it, but I would keep it in...

here's a site with creatine facts http://www.creatinemonohydrate.net/creatine_background.html though I'm not an expert, I've always been a little dubious about supplementing with creatine. If you eat a diet with a good amount of meat, then your body shouldn't need extra creatine, and it has...

I just saw your DVD today-great performance! I'll definitely be watching you guys in the future.

what about luca turilli?

Amon Amarth is a great energy booster for me I never listen to music while working out

yeah, it really depends. To suggest bass and drums are always necessary to make a clean bit interesting definitely isn't true, it just depends on the part. if you are just arpeggiating a couple of chords than it usaully is necessary for example check out quo vadis' myspace, where they should...

I think people have trouble with "clean parts" because once they're working within the confines of a specific chord or group of chords, they just arpeggiate that chord in a more or less straight forward ascending or descending pattern, which will pretty much always sound simple and boring. I...

totally! I've actually been listening to a bunch of Augury lately-I think they're coming out with a new album soon still listening to stuff, but there's been a lot of cool recs and a lot of cool stuff I didn't expect. I'm actually somewhat familiar with Bolt Thrower- I used to play tons of...

just found this
