    any tips on intense screaming?

    well actually, does anyone have any tips on screaming in general? I'm not talking about Black metal screams, I mean painful sounding grindcore screams, like Agoraphobic Nosebleed (see the song "Flaming Youth", where the instruments stop and the vocalist screams) and Pig Destroyer. I really have...

    harmonies

    well , i'm not sure if its been mentioned yet , but sometimes a cool thing to try if you come up with a good harmony is inverting it . If you don't know what that is , you leave the root note at the same pitch , but lower the other note (don't know my terms ,haha) an octave . Sometimes I come up...

    Flo Mournier

    so have you guys heard about Daniel Mongrain being a current touring guitarist for them ? that's pretty sweet , he's amazing , but i wonder why he has to fill in... fuck , i HIGHLY doubt he can double his blast beat speed . That'd just be strange . On the topic of the fastest blaster , it...

    getting started doing death vocals (or harsh metal vocals in general)

    "basically tighten up your abs" thank you , i've needed it put simply for a while now , because i'm slow haha . i will try that . but do you really need a deep voice to do them ? i've heard that before.

    Can a Roland Cube be hooked up through a cabinet ?

    i'm talking about the 30 watt ones . and they're loud enough with the single speaker they have in them , i'm sure they'd be plenty loud through 2 15" speakers . I've read several places that to double the volume , you need ten times the watts , so i'd need a 300 watt head to really make a...

    Can a Roland Cube be hooked up through a cabinet ?

    if not , could a modification somehow be made so it could ? That'd be sweet , i have a Marshall MG100HDFX head and i'm disappointed in its sound , its all noisy and feedbacky and shit . I'm currently using my Digitech RP100 on the amps clean channel , it sounds much better . however , the cube...

    getting started doing death vocals (or harsh metal vocals in general)

    the volume is the main issue , haha . I really have no clue how to tell if I'm doing it right , but i CAN'T be , because I don't really feel like I'm doing it from my stomach . How can I tell if I'm doing it right ? because from what i've heard ,you can get a good sound even with improper...

    getting started doing death vocals (or harsh metal vocals in general)

    yeah , I hardly have any idea how to get started learning to do death growls and screams and shit . If anyone really recalls how they got started , and knew if they were doing it right , please tell me how :loco: also , just to see if anyone knows enough about death vocals to answer this ...

    What are some ways to modify amplifiers ?

    if any.... I'd like to know any ways to modify a solid-state head (specifically , a Marshall MG 100 HDFX) , to increase the amount of gain , at least . Any other modifications you've done/know of would be nice to know .

    Guitar building question , about neck and body woods

    I've decided for the v that i'm building , that I want a mahogany body , and an ebony fretboard . Supposedly a walnut neck sounds great with an ebony fretboard , but I do not know what walnut sounds like . I know that mahogany has a warm , fatter sound to it , but how would a neck wood with...

    How do these specs sound for the V that i'm building

    because , first off , I want to have the experience of building my own guitar....a good guitar to be proud of making . I'd probably save money making this rather than buying the guitar and upgrading it , and the guitar still wouldn't have some stuff I wanted (mahogany body) . ........can...

    How do these specs sound for the V that i'm building

    and , (just curious) why do you think I'd be better off ?

    How do these specs sound for the V that i'm building

    First off , so when I switch pickups in the middle of a song , if its a fast switch , I can have both of my pickups set up how I want them each to sound . And , also , when I'm using both pickups at once , I can have one of the tone knobs set up to enhance (or simply compliment) the other pickup...

    How do these specs sound for the V that i'm building

    Actually , me and my father are building it . I'm coming up with the specs , and he's doing all the electronics and everything....... I'm basing the looks off of Kerry King's signature BC Rich V , which looks pretty damn cool , i think . So (and this is to anyone who knows what they're talking...
