Guitar Player's Thread

The harmonics are there, wheter you like it or not. The most common way is to palm mute with the right hand, but you could do like MAB does and use the left hand to mute. The difference between the two is that you don't get that "muffled", muted sound if you use your left hand.

Alright, thanks.
 
@Conti: That's awesome, what gear do you use? And btw, I love wide Vibratos and I have to force myself not to use them too often...

@Zakk: Upload the song, we're all so curious!

hey thanks, I juse use my RR3 straight into the UX1 toneport.
 
can someone just give me an update of important occurrences in this thread and the tab thread in the last 10 days ish? :p
 
nothing, we are just anticipating Mitch's return so we can get the forum jam all worked out. Other than that, just bitching about gear and such. Also Zakk should be uploading his composition soon.

my song :oops:

i had to improv the solo because of time signatures and stuff, my old solo didn't work out. so forgive me
 
hey Zakk that was actually pretty good!, I enjoyed the melodies
is this some sort of tribute to wintersun- death and the healing?
if it's not....then that would suck, cause it sounds just like it in the first half.
 
oh so I see what you are doing, I heard black diamond by stradivarious at the end so it must be some sort of metal tribute, what other songs are in there cause I just heard those two.
 
yeah i definetly got influences from wintersun. the beginning also reminded me of danny elfman as well. thanks for the comments!


uhh no metal tribute lol. i dont know that song. haha i wrote it all so idk. i hope im not just copying and pasting songs without my knowing :lol:

That was good Zakk, i liked it once it got to about 1:17 and the acoustic part.. but the melodies were too Death and the Healing for me :/

Maybe you should add some synths aswell.
 
wow zakk. Great job! Only thing I would recommend, add some dynamics man. Smoother picking transitions and such. Other than that, I think you will win definitely.
 
At 2:15 where the acoustic really kicks in is awesome. Your playing on the fast parts is pretty good, but the amateur playing still shows in the beginning and on the slower riffs, which of course isn't bad, you're still progressing. but it's funny how your playing on the fast licks outshine your slower ones. nice job.

You're doing really good actually, you've made good progress. Not too keen on the songwriting, but that just comes with training, so just keep practicing and writing more songs.

As some said before, add some dynamics, like muting and sliding, to make it more interesting.

And that guitar is pretty kewl!
 
Mystique took the words out of my mouth.

Pretty cool! Did you play the Acoustic guitar too?

And btw, if you don't know death and the healing:



The melody sounded very alike in some points, but all in all (especially considering your age dude!), your song is great!
