At band rehearsal, and...

Yeah, it's a relatively large file and it seems to be eating up my allocated bandwidth on Geocities. suislide has graciously offered to host it for me as per usual. So once he gets it up, hopefully we won't be having this problem anymore! Be sure to check back ^_^
 
Nice sweeping (+ the rest)...

ARGH, HOW? I can't seem to do it smoothly (sweeping).

Cheers dude. Alright, I've edited the first post with the new (majorly WORKING) link, so all you guys that got 'page is busy' errors probably shouldn't anymore :).

KICKASS! :hotjump:

I especially like the last part before you stopped, that's like my favorite part of Forest of October.

Btw, who's the lady screaming in the background? Sounded like she was telling you guys to turn it down. Don't listen! :grin:
 
:Lol: That's was our bassplayer actually. She was screaming 'Yeah!' and shit, haha.

Moonstruck, there is a convenient way of covering up any fuckups you make with sweeping. Use your palm to smoothly mute each note after you play it. So just kind of make it lag a string behind whichever it is you're playing. That should kill all the multiple-string noise. Sweeping became alot easier for me when I realized you could shortcut it like that :)
 
yea i mute all the strings with my palm if im not playing them. before that i couldnt play that very last part of the solo w/out it sounding clean.. but i dont sweep anything in that solo.

Cool. :rock:

I need to make my brother teach me to play guitar. He's two hours from here though. Do you think it's possible to learn to play from books?
 
Definately. I'd suggest getting a tutor of somesort for the basic techniques though. It can be a really long-term problem if you don't learn the fundamentals right. After that, you just go at your own pace :)
