Guitar Player's Thread

[Lowberg]

The thing I didn't like about Loomis's solo album was that it sounded to me like a bunch of nevermore riffs and solo licks. Yes i know that's what people want but some parts of the songs and some of the chord progressions sounded TOO similar to actual existing nevermore songs for me.

Like Jato Unit definitely had some This Godless Endeavor and Born riffs in there. Departure sounded too similar to This Godless Endeavor Intro. And im pretty sure I heard the River Dragon diminished solo and the Godless Endeavor sweeps at least 4 times on the album lol Just off the top of my head.


But Hey, Yngwie Malmsteen played the same lick 4,000 times and he did okay

That's what I thought when I listened to it all the way through. But I still love 'Miles of Machines'.

Well he does have his signature licks, just like alexi has his eminor arpeggios with the tapping. Jeff has his diminished arpeggios with chromatic notes, as well as similiar sweep patterns that he uses in many solos. With this album you get to hear more of Jeff's phrasing, which I love.

Miles of Machine is my favourite, closely followed by Jato Unit , Race Against Disaster, and Devil Theory.

[Stonecoldsoul07]

He's now 42,he looks pretty good still!

 

[Corny]

Not like that.
If I sit down and improvise, and there's something I want to write down in Guitar Pro, do you just guys just do that quickly, or do you like, tape yourselves improvising, then write the stuff down afterwards?

What do you find easier?

I always record myself and don't tab the stuff.

another new teaser up!
it's called "We Like To Tease You"

 

[Pђoenix]

Some fucking hot modded Ibanez' for you guys to fap over.

This one I wish I could fine more pics of because I think the finish is sweet.

And finally a Jem I'd actually love.

 

[GuitariSteve]

WOW!

I don't like the first one, the fretboard of the second one is awesome, the fretboard and the headstock of the third one are awesome too but I don't like its body and I love the last one!

 

[children of COB]

^^Holy mother of god!!! Those guitars are just so fucking sweet! The fretboard on the 2nd one looks gorgeous and the 4th guitar is epic!

Hey folks, I won in the lottery and decided to add some new guitars to my collection:

:hotjump::hotjump::hotjump:

I'm working on it, Me and some guys are almost finished writing an album for an un-named band as of now (we cant think of a good non-taken name!). I haven't posted any of the songs here yet though.

I'd describe it as a strange combination of Melodic Death, Power, and 80's thrash metal. My other guitarist Dom is doing the screaming vocals, and our singer Sklar is a nut case who rips on clean metal vocals. We are going to have of back and fourth between clean and screaming, not just like "clean vocals always on choruses".

It sucks because the only thing holding us back now is not having a band name lol

Go with whatever the hell you find, you can always change it when something better pops up, but the band name being the only thing holding you back sucks

BTW, how's that studio thing you did doing? Post it here when it's done or at least some clips, I'm interested on that

Actually it was somehow cool

Oh my fucking fuck! This one is amazing!


I know that it is silly to argue in the internet, but this youtube user claiming that this is a Frank Zappa song just makes me rage:

 

[Ensi]

I recorded Guns & Roses "Knocking on Heavens Door" first solo, take a listen and tell me what you think.

 

[Corny]

Nice Les Paul tone and very, very cool bendings. I would suggest one thing concerning your vibrato: You tend to vibrate more intense at the beginning of the note then at the end, sometimes the vibrato stops soon. My suggestion would be: Try to increase the vibration. You can hear what I mean at 00:23 for example.

But that's just a minor thing, good recording!

Thanks man! Yeah, it was done in like the very second take, and I'm not used to all this Slash music (meaning BENDBENDBENDBNEBDVIBRATOVIBRATOVIBRATOVIBRATO).

I'm used to doing it with POWAH and such. I need to work on that when playing songs like this.

It's actually a Morgan copy of the Les Paul. Some Norwegian brand I guess.

 

[Corny]

^I new that it's a copy because you'd probably put the headstock in the camera if it was real.

 

[Pђoenix]

Great tone!
