Guitar Player's Thread

I dont wanna sound like an ass hole towards you (eveningninja) but why would you wanna win if you already have an Alexi sig guitar? There are people that cant afford it and by what it shows in the video, you have seriously good equipment... But ehh, still, your fucking good at guitar lol :)
 
I'd better see it going to someone like him who can make something good out of it than to some asshole who doesn't even play but thinks it's fun to submit the video and maybe have Alexi's guitar.

@eveningninja: Dude nice playing! Any original songs or something else we can hear?

"Number 1 Shredder" "Pro Guitarist".

Fuck off you arrogant shit.
 
Whoaq dude, you're playing sounds really clean in the video.

Thanks :cool:

Well, both the Marshall and SG are my dad's, even though I do use both of those from time to time. The Alexi and some $200 practice amp are the only equipment I really "have." I dunno man, I just honestly think I'd love that LTD Scythe just as much as any other contestant even though I already have one. Multiple tunings, variety, etc. New guitars are exciting. I mean it's also a question of which contestant needs the guitar the most versus who maybe deserves it most. I really did put a lot of effort into that video, although that's partly because I'm a noob with Sony Vegas :lol:

Thanks man. Hm... well I'm sorta in this state right now where I've got some ideas flowing around, some of it in my mind still and some has been GPro'd for the time being. Definitely expect an entry from me in the next Cobot album whenever that may be. I am pretty excited to hear this third one, I'll download that when I get back home :kickass:
 
Thanks :cool:

Oh ok, that seems alright then. How long have you been practicing for eveningninja? I'd love to be able to play guitar as well as you do and maybe you can tell me whats best to practice.. I'd seriouosly appreciate it :D
 
A quick question.

Any of you guys have any experience with the Peavey Valveking VK100 head? How suitable is it for Rock/Metal?
 
Someone please tell me how long it'll take to get to the shredding level... I've been playing for 2 years and a half (roughly) and I am progressing but I go on youtube and see people that say that theyve been playing for a year and a half and they can play the whole of Kissing the Shadows (including solo's). I dont understand what I've been doing wrong, I practice heaps everyday... Could it be that my practicing isnt effective?? Thanks :)
 
I've been playing for seven years, and i still get riddled sometimes, i can shred, and i look at myself as being proficient, but in the end it's how much you practice and how devoted you are. Just keep trying, and you'll get it, took me like a year to down like three necrophagist songs....since i wasn't working as hard as i could. But i learned alomost the whole new hypocrisy album in like three days..cuz i wanted it. lol.
 
That's your goal from playing guitar? Play as fast as possible like guys on youtube? hehe

Well im actualy keen on learning Kissing the Shadows so I went on youtube to search a cover just to get an insight of how fast the guitar playing actually is, and thats what triggered me to ask this question. But thanks to the other bloke that was being nice and actually answered my question :)

But what things should I practice in particular? arpeggios, chordes, etc?

basically
you practice heaps everyday
they practice heaps of bodom every day

pretty simple eh
 
You should also keep in mind that what other people write may be in your skill range, but may seem hard because you didn't write it.
It all comes down to practice.
