I like Vai's fretboard design, but I wouldn't like gay flowers around. Thanks for the info.



Yeah check it please

Hey man, i'm at work atm. It's an RG08LTD-JPB. It had another tag on it tho, it said RGR, and the second "R" stands for Reversed (headstock) so I think that's just a misplacement of tags.

I'm sorry to inform the ghey flowers were actually on the pickguard

so...you don't go to school anymore?



and I'm disappointed in you people. no one cared about the christmas jam

No, I don't. I chose the electrician subject, which was a mistake. It had way too much maths and theory for my mind. Also, the school was shit, EVEYRONE was rednecks and/or corny people. Ugh

So now I quit, and started to work. Going to start up school next year tho! Musicians subject!

Fuck yeahh

And the x-mas jam: I posted a backing track IT WAS AWESOME

 

[Liverslapper]

I've asked James Malone from ARSIS about his online guitar lessons. He told me how it works:

Sorry for the delayed response, I do appreciate your interest in the online lessons and your email. There 2 ways
that I was hoping to conduct the online lessons; the first of which would involve the use of a web cam. The idea
being that we could both sign onto skype or a similar messaging program and have the lesson this way. The rate for
this would be $30 an hour. I would supliment these lessons with guitar pro files covering all the musical ideas
that we covered in the lesson. Payment would be accepted via paypal. The hours I am available for such lessons
are Monday through Friday, 1pm to 6pm Eastern Standard time. An alternate way to conduct the lessons online would
involve email and guitar pro files only. In this case, I would hope to answer musical questions you may have,
cover technique and theory, teach Arsis songs and explain my thought process behind them, using only email and
Guitar Pro files. My rate for one these lessons would be $20 a lesson. Again, payment would be accepted via
paypal. Thanks again for your interest and let me know if sounds like something that may be of some benefit to you
as a musician,


James

I don't know many guitarists who do something like that, but it seems like it's an easy way to make some money.

Bjorn Strid from Soilwork is doing a similar thing with vocal coaching. He's meeting with people for an hour each at all of their tour stops to provide instruction at a flat rate. Again, great way to earn some cash, and for those participating, good way to learn proper technique from one of the best.

Alexander from cob too, but I mean, it's a small minority.

Im about to kill someone,

Half of my out-of-town bandmates are up for a few days to start recording our demo, we get the guitars for one song done and my GP-1000 dies. It just wont turn on and its not the fuse. im so fucking pissed

 

[dave100]

^That fucking sucks. I thought you had a Marshall JCM2000 or something

 

[Lowberg]

I do but I left my tube screamer at school and it sounds like shit for heavier metal without it, plus we are crammed on time, so we are going to use amp modeling so we can finish up at night and not wake people up

 

[P4T0U]

HAHA I lost so much time today...I did a pokemon tab! but it's like impossible to play...because I made it special. I combined tracks together! Lol at it if you want or learn it: http://www.sendspace.com/file/f4v9po


If you fucking learn this and play it perfectly on Youtube, you'll inherit my deeds when I die.
Even RSE can't play it clean.

- Does the power light go on?
- Are the tube's glowing?
- Do you have any sound, hum or noise when it's on?
- Does it respond on (volume)control's? Buzz/noise/crackling when turning the pots?

New Paul Gilbert interview online:
http://www.alloutguitar.com/interview/artists_and_bands/paul_gilbert_interview_master_shred?page=0,0

Maybe not very interesting for the PG maniacs who already read everything about him, but everyone else: read this.

I like these quotes alot:

But standard notation and even tablature is very difficult for me to sight read in 'real time'.


Talking playing for a while how proficient are you at music reading?
I am a rock guitarist, so I read music about as well as most classical musicians improvise over a blues progression.

What career path do you think you would have taken if you hadn't made it as a musician?
I was interested in dinosaurs when I was a kid, so I considered being a paleontologist, but I wasn't very good at digging, so I gave it up.

 

[Pђoenix]

Hah! Nice find. Cheers for that.

 

[GuitariSteve]

Thank you Corny!! I'll read it later!
