Guitar Player's Thread

Well you kind of were degrading it and those who study it, by saying you've ''already learned'' theory by playing guitar and naturally picking up on it, when there are countless numbers of people who study and analyze music theory all day for many years of their lives. I realize it was not your intent to do so though, I think you simply misunderstand just how much one can learn from theory really, far beyond memorizing scale names. Btw I'm not trying to flame here or anything, just trying to make clear the value of music theory. Then again I also do realize that not everyone has the same musical goals or motivation.

that's right. some of us are just srs about being srs.
 
You won't get Alexi's tone if you don't have a similar amp. Also you won't be able to get a COMPLETELY identical tone, because lots of tone is in the playing.

But he uses lots of mids and a good deal of highs. Low bass and low/mid amount of gain/drive.

his tone is nothing special anymore, just some emg/marshall combination and you're set, his tone sounds the same as everyone else's. His old tone is harder, but sucks anyway.
 
anyone know what settings alexi laiho uses on his amp?
drive/gain?
treble?
mid?
bass?
reverb?
Ive heard his guitar in one of those private lessons and it sounds bloody magnificent! At the moment, my amp doesnt sound that great so I tried playing around with it but I got no where D:

Please tell mee!!

Why would you want shit settings on your amp that do not work?

I just discovered one of the best bands in the world... All That Remains :D

Damn there song "The Air That I Breahte" is fucking good.

Nearly as good as Children of Bodom... Nearly.


And I searched up Opeth but im afraid I havent got the balls to listen to that sorta genre. His voice is way too deep, I sorta prefer high pitch screaming lol.

Oh really? Like Alexi?

Someone please give me some exercises for sweep picking and hand syncronisation!

Private message me please!!
So you can play more Bodom?

Did I even ask another question?

Your an ass dude seriously. I can already play numerous Children of Bodom songs and all are lead, like Alexi.

BAM owned.

You say you can play numerous Children Of Bodom songs and all are lead. You accomplished this without properly knowing sweep picking? That's actually quite an achievment.

I hate to be a dick...BUT who the fuck does this guy think he is? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Please just stop, you are making yourself sound like a dick in a REALLY obvious attempt to copy the style of your favorite guitarist. NEWS FLASH! Read BH's post.

Yes, I am a dick and people will think that of me after this post. This is getting pathetic though.

[NOT telling you guys I didn't act this way a long time ago though, glad I got over it]


Youtube is full of lessons.

Answer to your other question:

No. You won't be next Laiho. Reality hits, huh?
This is one of the times I think Brutal Hate spoke the absolute truth and wisdom.

Also, sad but true. Everyone has their taste I guess but I agree with this.


God, I love to be a dick...or cock.

FLOPPY MERRY COCKS AND DICKS TO YOU ALL BECAUSE I MENTIONED THE WORD DICK OVER 9000 TIMES IN THIS DICK POST. OH GODDAMMIT!

yeah im trying to get some opinions cause im not sure which is better since i only used one of em before.
Has anyone here used the jackson sustainer I have only used the Fernandes.
 
I'd have to agree. I've become very picky with the music I listen to these days. Partly because when I work on composing, I want my source of influence to be drawn from only the songwriters who in my eyes are the best(Symphony X, Sinergy, Galneryus, Koji Kondo, Nightwish, Wintersun, Rhapsody, and various film score/classical composers such as the group X-Ray Dog or Vivaldi/Beethoven). I feel as if the more I listen to a band/composer that is merely ''alright,'' and not godlike, the more the potential of my composing ability sinks down, and I hate that; every time I listen to music I am mentally analyzing chord structures, phrasing, time sigs, key changes, etc and it makes an impact on me in some way or another.

Well said. I feel the exact same way. I just like different stuff xD
 
that's right. some of us are just srs about being srs.

>implying you need musical theory to make serious music
