Guitar Player's Thread

[arvoitus]

Sorry for the 2nd post in a row, but I have a question about Jackson's custom shop guitars. Is there anywhere on the net (before you say JUSTFUKKENGOOGLEIT, I did and didn't find anything.) where I can get a form, or do I have to go to my nearest dealer to get one?

Thanks.

Just in case someone knows, if not, I'll go to my local guitar shop and ask.

Gnight!

I hope you already checked out the Jackson Website itself?

You did, because you have used google ... NOT:

I have to buy the Zappa plays Zappa DVD. Watch this, inspiring as hell:

dude, judging my your question about this subject you seem to have absolutely no clue. i would recommend you to get a new guitar instead of ruining the one you currently have, unless you have alot of money and ruining it is not a problem which i doubt because if you would you would simply go and by a new one with 24 frets.
SO!
check some guitar building books forums and websites.
awesome place to start from would be [SIZE=-1]www.projectguitar.com
you need to understand what is guitar and how does it work.

you can choose any scale length that you want its the question of how your frets lay in it.

Exactly and so do I!
"I think if I was him, I wouldn't tell the exact settings because it surely took some time to find them " wasn't meant to be serious, that's why I put a behind it.

I just think that everyone should find his own sound and I'm 99% sure that Inhe will take Mitch's sound as a starting point to develop a tone which fits to his own playing.

I'm absolutely not into this "knowledge-equal-power" thing... You mentioned grammar school: I recently transferred 1.600 latin vocabels with all their conjugations and declinations from our book into a PC-Vocabulary-Trainer. It was very,very much work and took hours, but of course I share the result with the other students.

my apologies for unwarranted flaming then, i'm sorry for the misunderstanding (btw, you do realize grammar school in America is the lowest level of schooling for like 5-10 year olds right? )

on another note, i just got loaned a VHS copy of Vinnie Moore's Speed, Accuracy, & Articulation video, which I think I'm going to go watch soon

This sure turned into some discussion

I already have "my sound", which i get from how i mute and how i pick, and this is exactly how i want it, and using Mitch's preset as a starting, will most probably yield the tone i'm after. Although i'm starting to doubt that he actually will share it now So even if he doesn't share, i'm still going to find my own sound, but it will probably take about the time it took for Mitch do dial it in.

As much as I don't like Zakk Wylde's composition skills, i think his tone is sexy as hell.

Ha, I knew you liked him!

 

[Altitudes]

wow!nice work.just something,could you upload the original file(the song or whatever it is)or tell which is?if not it's gonna be difficult trying to help(even though I don't think I'll be much help as I'm not an experienced tabber).sorry if you have already posted or named it and I missed it.

If any one wants an mp3 of the solo just ask.

Corrections? (come on Mitch ) How do you tab out crazy fast parts where it is very hear to hear, especially when palm muted? Do you sometimes just make up something within the scale/key?

 

[Pђoenix]

^I'll take you up on that mp3 offer, that solo is truly kickass.

the mp3 that i sent you?

if anyone wants the better quality m4a, i've got that too, as well as the uncompressed .wav.

Ha, I knew you liked him!

that solo on in this river, that really kicks ass. yeah actually i really dig his tone tbh. I've debated putting a zakk pu set in my esp actually, although i tend to prefer seymours. i know i'm def going for his groove tubes after my current (stock) tubes run out.

 

[inhe]

Just came home from work with my Korg pandora!

All his solos sound out of place and quite shitty in my opinion. I think he bought into the whole play fast and aggressive mentality from his youth years and never grew out of it. He sounds very uncontrolled but hey, many like him, probably for his image

Just came home from work with my Korg pandora!

Don't know why but I got excited

 

[Corny]

woah, recordings asap!

@inhe: congrats hey.

Cool Lead Tone:

Gain: 8.0
Treble: 10.0
Bass: 8.0
Volume: 10.0

DYNA: COMP @ 10.0
AMP: US HI-G @ 5.0
CAB: 4X 12VIN @ 9.0
MOD: CHORUS2 @ 0.32
DLY: ECHO4 @ 2.0
REV: HALL 1 @ 4.0
NR: @ 6.0

If you fiddle with the large black cirlge thing on the right when AMP is selected, that's your mids. If you fiddle with it when CAB is selected, that's your presence.


Sometimes, I turn down the gain, usually have the delay/echo off and the reverb not too high. Changing the chorus from 2 to 1 pans it and gives you a drier tone too. Turning it off completely is even drier but doesn't sound too good for leads.

And as Corny said, recordings ASAP.

Wow, thanks alot, seriously! Right now i'm just figuring out how it works But as soon as i dial in the tone i'm going to record something. Don't know if you missed my first recorded song (which i've mentioned over 9000 times), but it's on www.myspace.com/marccarlsson .

 

[Altitudes]

Inhe, how much did the Korg cost?

 

[<-Warheart->]

What a gorgeous finish!!!!!!!!!
