Guitar Player's Thread

[Chamet]

personally i didn't learn much from lessons still i feel its the best way to start

I might still take lessons to learn the basics. I hear that you learn faster if you take lessons..

 

[metalhead_666]

it aslo depends on the teacher really i mean if you wanna learn metal and go to a classical player it wouldnt work much

 

[R00PE]

well im pretty much self learned... been playing for 6 years and took lesson only last years and i was as good as the teacher so thats suck..the first one stopped teaching guitar for a better job and the second one moved.. damn they runned away from me i dont think im that annoying lol well i suggest you to learn some scale.. as you said blues and pentatonic are a good start but mix up your practice or youll end up bored and play less (it happens to me sometimes) and you should do it perfectly at slow first and increase sppeed .. use a metronome or (like i do) a keyboard with drum beats it s a little funnier. For lesson id suggest www.cyberfret.com or www.guitarnoise.com i used to go to guitartricks but now u gotta pay so .. dont forget to use the pinky a lot it pays in the long run. pretty much it hope that helps

That was fucking awesome. That riff is brutal.

 

[metalhead_666]

I'm not a huge fan of their earlier work but their newer albums are absolutely brilliant.

 

[Ruins]

which makes me think, the band is really progressing and become better and better with each album and the singer just suck balls like he always did
damn this band needs a new singer

 

[<-Warheart->]

I've only really listened to about 6 songs in total but Born has always been one of the best, along with the first heavy riff in This Godless Endeavour.

I LOVE the vocals in Nevermore, the band wouldn't be the same without them.

^ Check out 'Psalm of Lydia' the guitar work in that is godly. *postjump*

And yeah, at first I wasn't so keen on Warrel Dane's vocals, but now I couldn't imagine them with a different vocalist.

Also, just for the sake of discussion.. My favorite Nevermore song is My Acid Words.

thats true. the band would be better, any other singer would be able to hit the right note

I don't like Jeff Loomis tone or playing, for some weird reason.

 

[Anonymous]

His lead tone is actually my favorite ever.

i used to hate them at first kinda grown on me

The guitar tone on 'DHIADW' (despite it not being my favourite album) is easily one of the finest in the history of metal recording, in my humble opinion.

^in my case i learned to ignore them and enjoy the rest of the band

Speaking of Nevermore (which is all I seem to have done today ) My shirt finally arrived a couple days ago. This picture was taken of me on that day at a party, which is why I look retarded. Also, am I the only one who thinks the angle of the logo looks really weird in that picture? It's like...completely flat :s

 

[Anonymous]

Speaking of Nevermore..

That is all.

 

[Swabs]

Mmmmmm...


That's the only Schecter guitar I actually like.
