Guitar Player's Thread

learning some paganini and mozart... it's funny because some of this stuff may be somewhat lower tempo but it's definitely a lot more complicated to try to play =S
 
Caparison's look so fucking nice, except they all either have a weird ass finish that pisses me off or else they make an awesome guitar like this and weird it out by making it 27 frets!

GRRR, hopefully someday I'll get real awesome at guitar and get an endorsement deal and make a sick signature model with them :lol:......yea right


I would buy Chris Amott's guitar if I had the money, I dont even care that it has the arch enemy symbol on it. It looks fucking sick!

I like his white one too, his pretty much the reason why I got a Caparison :headbang:, and yeah, that's why I got a Crimson TAT.

The paintjob isn't as radical as some of their other ones, I love it to bits >.>

Am i the only one in the world who neither want, nor like caparison?
Maybe you need to try one, they have a really awesome and unique neck profile, the best headstock design ever, and the stock pickups kick ass as well. The Absence - Riders of the Plague was all done with the stock pickups.

Maybe. And unique neck profile =/= Good neck profile for me, thats purely based on taste, as some people like the old chunky necks of the 50's, and some cream their pants over wizard necks.
And by best headstock design, i hope you're talking about some feature it incorporates that cannot be shown through pictures, and not the shape and look of it, as imho its ugly as fuck. Stock pickups don't interest me, as its a purely interchangeable part, and also up to taste.
 
Why that song? Of all the good songs he has, he plays the worst one, I got bored at 00:20 after watching him play that crappy riff 346982374639876 times.

True about the pickups, but I guess my point is that Caparison's with their own pickups have a unique sound. And I personally love the headstock. But I'm sensing you love your boring ole Ibanez's :p
 
Cant fucking wait, my other guitarist is going to arrive in a little bit and we are going to finish guitars for the fucking album this weekend!
Probably will do some demo version vocals too so we actually have something to show for now lol
 
Caparisons tones are fucking great, but goddamit ugly guitars

@Alexi vid

Was it just me or was the solo veeery sloppy and not so powerful sounding?

Also lol@first bend in solo

Don't get me wrong I <3 Alexi

hello and welcome to 2005

Not a ibby guy really, don't even own one :)

Though the PGM301 interests me slightly

Indeed, that was extremely sloppy and awful. But for some reason, I <3 him too...

Going to see Bodom again on September 23rd, and I'm pretty sure that it will be one of their worst gigs ever.
 
I had no idea Chris Amott did this solo o_O. No wonder I've always loved it lol.

I guess it all depends if you been into Arch Enemy before you hear the solo, cause if you have you can automatically tell it's Chris with his crazy vibrato and alternate picking.

Funny that my 2 favourite In Flames solos (This and December Flower) werent played by Jesper or Bjorn. Not to say they don't have great solos.

Do you mean your Melodic Death Album? If so, can't wait, I love your shit that I've heard. Are you using your new ENGL for it?

It seems like Alexi doesn't have much magic in his playing anymore. Blooddrunk did nothing for me. And yeah, when I saw CoB for the first time in Australia, I couldn't help but feel slightly dissapointed with it. Alexi was puking his guts up every couple of songs. And the sound wasn't very good at all compared to other bands I've seen.

Yeah, those seem to be their 2 best ones, but Zombie Inc., Goliaths Disarm Their Davids, and The Hive are pretty good.

Now that I think about it, I wouldn't be suprised if any one of those weren't wrote by Bjorn or Jesper too, Especially considering how shitty they are playing The Hive solo now days... but then again, that could be them just being shitty in general now.:Smug:
