Hum..the musicians corner is very stopped,I think this thread is gonna shake it a bit.

I guess there aren't many musicians here

 

[shredguitarman]

Well said Ultimate....

Guess we can't call ourselves musicians compared to SX.....

 

[Orlock]

I would vote for Moore..but I listened Chroma Key and..well..It's not the kinda "music" I enjoy

 

[shredguitarman]

Yeah Chroma Key is way tooo trippy for my liking.. what's happened to him??? is this the same guy that did the solo on 6:00????

 

[Yngvai X]

Hey shredguitarman, it looks like you like Final Fantasy, shouldnt you have named Nobuo Uematsu as a fav composer?

 

[shredguitarman]

Yeah you're right...

Didn't want to admit it though... though it would make me look geeky

Have transcribed parts though.. esp those cool arpeggios from FF8... they sound cool using sweep picking!!

Like they say... inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere...

hehe i didn't quite meant it that way it was more like a joke but oh well i think anyone with some talent and lots ass kicking practice can get to Syx level but only if you have the passion and dedication to an instrument

 

[shredguitarman]

Yeah you right...

Just set up one of my guitars in D now so I can get practising...

It's an arse using the tabs off the site though... I know there's a book available but we need to start demanding that the music publishers transcribe the whole of V and DWOT and produce a really nice tab book... like the one's Vai produces.. there must be enough of us out there...

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

yeah i know what it feels like hehe it's a pain in the ass i download midi files from the site but they don't have all the songs so i gotta figure out how i can play a song that's not thereand the tab book thing it's a great idea i wish it would come true and a book for keys oh man i'm dreaming

 

[shredguitarman]

what % of SX listeners are musicians do you reckon?? 50%? higher??

hehe i have no idea maybe 50 or 55 who knows if there are more but i think right now the people that are in this board not many of em' are musicians my opinion though i could be wrong but actual fans maybe around 55 or 60% or them i think are musicians it would be cool to make a pool of this who's musician and who's not
