Maybe about 4 years? 4 1/2? Lately, I've been practicing only about an hour, 5 days a week. =(

 

[The Emptier]

dunno, 4-5 years or something? started when i was 11 or something...most of the time has been self-taught
eh, i dunno. there's a difference between practicing and fucking around for two hours.

 

[<-Warheart->]

Wasn't the question directed at charli, and not everyone...

 

[The Emptier]

i know that's what i thought but everyone started answering

 

[<-Warheart->]

lulz

@ Zakk: Not really, I never "practice" techniques and shit, I just learn different songs, it helps my technique a lot and it's not boring, because I'm playing what I want to. For example, right now I'm trying to nail Halo (MH), I'm sloppy on the chorus, but once I can do it perfectly my alternate picking across different strings will be way better.

Wasn't the question directed at charli, and not everyone...

it was

 

[The Emptier]

yeah that's cool, i mean just playing in general will eventually get you better. but now that i started jazz im actually PRACTICING a lot more. i got the frank gambale power workout dvd or whatever the fuck its called and its just like an hour long of continuous repetition and shit. you're supposed to work though it and eventually be able to play through the whole thing with him. it's insane

started when i was 11 or something

so you've been playing for 2 years?
not bad not bad.
I started at the same age(or 10 ) I think but Warheart is right, this question was for Charlie Waffles so lets wait for his awesome video!

 

[The Emptier]

yeah...two years

 

[charli]

can somebody give me good eq settings to get Children Of Bodom or\and Ensiferum tone?

[Lowberg]

ow my ears are ringing. Just got the drum kit set back up, I guess i'm not used to having a snare drum blast away my eardrums anymore

 

[charli]

LOW 7
LOW-MID 4
HIGH-MID 5
HIGH 6

thanks ... bodom or ensiferum..?

 

[vikk]

bodom, but only if you have a Rhoads Guitar

 

[charli]

ok, do you know about ensiferum?

 

[TheKid]

LOW 7
LOW-MID 4
HIGH-MID 5
HIGH 6

ok, do you know about ensiferum?

Everyone knows who fucking Ensiferum are.

 

[Fret]

I think he was asking if he knew about settings for ensiferum, not who they are. For bodom you want a lot of that upper mid crunch typical of a lot of 80's metal bands.

 

[TheKid]

That's why I lol'd when vikk trolled him and he didn't even realize

 

[charli]

what eq settings for ensiferum?

 

[SteveMCsteve]

I don't think the people here know.
Google it yourself, please.
