Hey!http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Good to see you also...http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif
Well I figured there might be a need for some more people to represent the pianoplaying among all these screaming guitars...http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/34.gifhttp://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/59.gifhttp://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif Or should I just bring the african drums also??http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/34.gif

Yeah that could be it, with the guitarist needing a little longer fingers to manage, but then again some people would also say that it's definitely an asset to have quite long fingers when playing the piano. Which it of course can be, but in my opinion it's mostly a matter of having your fingers, well, trained enough, meaning trying to avoid stiff fingers. Really, how many finger exercises haven't I been instructed to do while I was taking classes...http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif...all for a good cause of course!http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gifhttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif
But since I don't really have that short fingers I can't really answer whether it gets alot trickier playing then...but yeah, it probably would be....when reaching for those chords...

Well as I said I play the guitar a bit also, bt it's mainly the acoustic one nowadays since I sold the electric one I had. As for the drums...ahem...well, I think it would be awesome to learn how to play it, since I love playing the african kind, however with the regular drums, I think my coordination would be quite hopeless...http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gifhttp://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/35.gif

cool, then you're our pianoplaying representivehttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif, and also bring the african drums, they sound cool http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
and yeah the most important thing is well trained fingers, but yeah longer is better when reaching for chords.

well, the accoustic requires even longer figers than the electric, as it has a wider neck, and is harder to play.

with regular drums it's not a matter of coordination as it's a matter of style, what I mean is that playing regular drums is quite easy, as the toms and cymbals are quite big, and unless you're blind or crosseyed, I don't see a reason not to be able to hit the right tom or cymbal, but yeah, it needs time to gain speed, but less time than it would take on guitar or sax, well atleast that was the case with me, all that is left is style, as this is the most important thing to a drummer (after sounding good ofcourse), oh and a big and impressive kit wouldn't hurt http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif, and the best thing about drumming is that all you need is your hands, you don't even need figers, as you can glue the sticks to your hands http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

yeah, that's a tricky one, and it's very hard to reach for this chord, but then again, Dan might be playing it in a completely different way, like most tabbers for master of puppets tabbed the intro like this:
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
7-5-4-3-------------------------
7-5-4-3-------------------------
9-7-6-5-------------------------
--------------------------------

while metallica plays it like this:

--------------------------------
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
2-------------------------------
2-10--9--8----------------------
0-12-11-10----------------------

so you see, the tabbers might be completely off, but one thig for sure, that chord well get your fingers streached, alot

@Keitan: yeah, some people are just too good.
and the silent man does have a very nice accoustic part, one of the best there is.

@Jimmy: yeah, the word is indeed riff, or lick as we call it in the studiohttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif. and both of them give you the same result, and are both easy to play, I even find the metallica one easier as the frets in there are closer to each other, guess that's how tabbers figured it out, and yeah that chord is tricky at first, but is fairly easy, unlike some led zeppelin and AC\DC chords.

finally, metal songs have lots of empotion, otherwise there woun't be lawyers, doctors and proffisors that listen to them, but there are bands that are indeed hollow, I guess that the people that listen to blues also, have a depth to their songs.

oh, and I once saw in a site solo for AC\DC's highway to hell, and it says that's the original tab, and that's how Angus played it on the album, I wonder then how he could reach the 25th fret when his guitar had only 22 frets http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-indifferent.gif

Im sure there are way harder chords, & I know this is easy as I've pretty much cracked it already http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

do you think that the lyrics of the song add to the effect? I do, because when I find a particularly meaningful song or something, I listen carefully to the lyrics, and that just makes it better! Definately, blues has a lot of depth to their songs.

lol! Maybe he had a specific guitar for that song, I dont know. But most guitars go to at least 24 frets now, right?

UnDead_Knight1

03-13-2006, 11:34 AM

cool, yeah closer is easier, but the thing with show off's is that all they do is show off, they don't have talent, they just "show off".

Lyrics diffenatly add to the effect of a song, imagine the unforgiven with st. anger lyrics, it would simply sound bad, and the song would loose all it's effect.
Blues is propably the most depthed music, if you want to listen to blues listen to Muddy Waters, he's like the metallica of the blues world.

about the Angus Young song, it was a joke about what tabbers would do to make their tabs sound like the official ones, there are no 25 fret guitars, all guitars are 22 frets, and in the 80s they started building 24 frets, so all guitars are 22 or 24 frets, and usually people who started playing in the 70's continued to use 22 fret guitars, for one simple reason, they don't need the extra 2 frets

Sandwarrior1990

03-13-2006, 11:43 PM

True, but if you want a good song to show a friend or something then I'd pick an easy one that sounds cool, like Enter Sandman.

Now that you said that, it would sound terrible with St.Anger lyrics, the bests songs have good lyrics though, sometimes simple stuff works great!
Hmm, I might listen to some then http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif

true, it's better choose a simple-cool-sounding song to show off to those non-guitarist friends.

yeah sometimes those simple stuff that come in the spur of the moment turns out to be the best stuff, and sometimes they suck lol

well there are no 25 fret guitars, well not that are massly produced, you can ask for a 25 fret guitar to be build for you, but no there's nothing wrong with 2 extra frets, but for me, I have 24 and 22 fret guitars, and I never used the 2 extra frets, unless I'm doing a tribute to a band that did use them, but in my own stuff, I usually reach the 21st fret max, maybe later I'll use the other frets in my own stuff, who knows

UnDead_Knight1

03-16-2006, 03:50 PM

to tell you the truth, the best way to play metal songs is standing up, while playing slow stuff (like the unforgiven, or accoustic metal) it's better to set down, accoustic stuff should always be played setting down, as it's the best way to have total control over your guitar.
Anyhow, for playing standing, the best posture is having your legs spread (don't laugh http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif), and having the guitar as low as your waist (you might cramp your arms if you hold it too high, so beware), the best posture should be something like this:
http://www.getthatsound.com/General%20Assets/Images/Hetfield.jpg
http://www.nrk.no/img/324147.jpeg

when soloing, you better either telt your back a little, or tilt the guitar, the most important thing here is to look cool,ofcourse, if you find your own cool posture, then it's the best thing, but if you didn't do something like this:
http://www.myguitarsolo.com/Players/KirkHammett.jpg
http://bands.freepage.de/caf2/kirk05.jpg

one word of friendly advice, don't do this unless you're 100% sure that the guitar is clean:

about the X-Fi elite pro, you can get pretty good quality sounding sounds, but if you intend on micing the amp, get a high quality mic.
what do you mean different parts of a song? do you mean like playing a guitar riff, then adding another guitar riff, so it would acctually sound like 2 guitars playing? if that's what you mean then yeah you can do it, with the software cubase LE that is bundled with the card, I never used it, so I don't know how to use it (I usually use pro tools), but yeah you can do it.
btw there's also bundled the software amplitube LE, which is basically a plug in for cubase, which is a virtual amp, this way you can connect your guitar directly to the card, without a need of an amp, and yeah you can get a kick *** song, depending on your playing abilities of coursehttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

the crystalizer is the one that's supposed to inhance the quality, the echo (which is also known as eax) makes you feel like you're in a jazz club, opera hall.... it does inhance the quality, some might like the effect it adds, some might hate it, for me I like it, but not for songs, but for games and movies, for songs it's better just turn the crystalizer on, but turning on the EAX during the live sh** gives pretty cool tones

the vibrato arm changes the pitch of a note, gives an effect similiar to wah (but wah is way cooler imo), anyway to use it, just pull it so it's directly over the strings, and push it in towards the body and the strings (you can push it in when it's anywhere, but above the strings is the easiest place to puch it in), try it, you might like the effect, and it sounds pretty cool, remember just push it in http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif (if you still can't get the hang of it, I'll post a video of me using ithttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif)

and yeah the most important thing is well trained fingers, but yeah longer is better when reaching for chords.

well, the accoustic requires even longer figers than the electric, as it has a wider neck, and is harder to play.

with regular drums it's not a matter of coordination as it's a matter of style, what I mean is that playing regular drums is quite easy, as the toms and cymbals are quite big, and unless you're blind or crosseyed, I don't see a reason not to be able to hit the right tom or cymbal, but yeah, it needs time to gain speed, but less time than it would take on guitar or sax, well atleast that was the case with me, all that is left is style, as this is the most important thing to a drummer (after sounding good ofcourse), oh and a big and impressive kit wouldn't hurt http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif, and the best thing about drumming is that all you need is your hands, you don't even need figers, as you can glue the sticks to your hands http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

@James: thx
and yeah, amplitube is included with the X-Fi elite pro.
about condenser mics, yeah they are the best, but there are special condenser mics that are made especially for guitar micing.
and the best way to play 7 stringed tabs is to play them on 7 stringed guitar, or simply trying to alternate them in the other 6 strings (although the notes would sound brighter).
the best guitar accessories manufacturer is dunlop, they has the best effects and the only good picks (the most common pick is the dunlop tortex green(.88mm))

@Keitan: hell yeah, that's awesome rig, I never knew John uses so much digital stuff, but I don't know why he uses talk box a lot, as it will hurt him, he could atleast use the dunlop one, as it has better tone, and is safer.
btw he could replace the 3 Mesa Boogie Mark II C+ amp heads with 2 Mesa Boogie triple recto, they give more distorted tone, and sound cooler (tested), but his rack is truely awesome.
(also if he used the regular dunlop crybaby wah instead of the rack version it will last longer as it's more firmly build)

@Angie: yep no harmony=sh**
about bassists, well there's atleast 2, thecool9 is one, and I'm the other (although I'm not as good with bass as with guitar and drums). PS: take your time in the ultimate challenge, wait till your throat is 100% healed, as it skrews the voice (if you heard Diamond sing, you'll know what I'm talking about)

@thecool9: lol, James looks like Robert Plant in that pic.

PS: I once had to sing King Diamond over songs in a show, as David lost his voice, to this day I still don't know how I managed to it while playing lead guitar, although my voice was skrewed for a whole week, I was talking in annoying high pitched voice for a week lol, one thing for sure, I will never do this again.

yeah, the misfits just look plain cool, and Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstien is my fav. one too.
He isn't the only one that's left, all of them left, exept Jerry Only, the current lineup is:
vocals: Jerry Only
guitar: Dez Cadena
bass: Jerry Only
drums: Robo

too bad they couldn't keep Dr. Chud, but he left fot good, they got Marky Ramone, but he just was there for a period, he did record the album Projrct 195 with Jerry and Dez, now the current drummer is Robo. They're speaking of bringing DWVF back, but it's what Jerry says that goes, but as DWVF is Jerry's youngest brother I don't think that would be a problem, the one I want to see most is Michale Graves, as Jerry isn't very good with vocals, he's great bassist, but not so good as a vocalist.

I don't have a Kerrang! subscription either, there isn't much interesting stuff there, guitar world is the only mag. I'm currently subscribed to. and I think they will be in the UK, and if it doesn't it's not that big loss, I mean it's not like metallica are the ones who are playing it.

and yeah, it would be great to have all the members back, but it only looks like DWVF has a chance of returning officially, but that's all I need, Robo is getting better, and Jerry will get better at singing if he keeps singing (but Graves still has better voice).

btw, now that you're officially a fiend, go get your master fiend a bottle of root beer j/k but what you have to do as a fiend is listen to one song to the fits a day, that's the rules, I don't write them, just inforce them http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/59.gif, so welcome to the fiend club, don't forget to listen to the fiend club song, and know it by heart, http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/10.gifas it's the password to our hideout.

UnDead_Knight1

03-25-2006, 03:10 PM

well, once you've had a devilock, it's hard to get rid of it.
for bass guitars, well it depends on the quality of the guitar, you would get good ones in the 200$-500$ range, the prices are like the guitars, but remember that you'll also need a bass amp, as guitar amps would explude if you use them with bass guitar, line 6 released a new line of bass amps, I still didn't get to test them, but my bassist got one, I'll ask him about the amp if you want

Sandwarrior1990

03-25-2006, 03:14 PM

thats quite a good price
what does explude mean? like, not play the sound correctly?

yeah, with line 6 stuff you can get great tones, but the factory defult channels suck, maybe one or 2 are good, so the plug and play musicians should stay away from line6 product, actually they should stay away from music all together, cause you need a bit of tweeking to get that sweet tone.

yeah, the feeling of bass vibrating through the body simply rocks, and it can move you, litirally http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/784.gif bass rocks, just be sure to keep the bass on low next time you go to the mountains, as it may cause avalanche.

PS: I sent a demo tape to Gorgeous Frankenstein with me singing misfits, metallica, and Diamond stuff, and also stated that I can also play guitar and drums with demos of me singing and drumming, and playing guitar, and David also did the same as me (without the drumming part), it would be cool if one of us (or both) get to play in that band, WITH DOYLE, they still don't have a drummer, it would be great if I got the drummer part, and David gets the vocalist part, it would make Pulse famous in an instant http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/metal.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/inlove.gif

gotta check if the XLR input works also for the vetta, if so then I'll most likely get one myself (after I get the vetta ofcourse) for when I want to record at home, as this is a line 6 product, it's propably a good quality, but you better check the system requirements, as they're slightly high

btw, if you're looking for cool guitar design, then you diffenatly should look at Dean Guitars (http://www.deanguitars.com) as they have the best guitar designs available, they are the ones who made the awesome Dimebag Darrel's guitars, most noted the Razorback guitar, and the 2006 line of designs is awesome, they even have accoustics that look cool, they have a V accoustic w00t w00t, it looks awesome, but I wonder how's the sound, guess I have to check it out http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/784.gifhttp://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/59.gif

A pick is the little piece of a smooth-triangle shaped plastic (also known as a plectrum) that you 'pick' the strings with.

@James: what's the trouble with the guitar strap?
It's best to have the guitar where it's most comfortable, it's better to have it pretty low though, as it's easier on the arms, that way there's less possibility to have a cramp. the ideal place to have the guitar is at your middle.

well, as I said, you should put it the way it's most comfortable to you, you should find the balance between having it low, and between speed, it takes a time to find that perfect position for guitar, that's why it's such an annoyance if other people change the fine adjustments that took you so much time to adjust, very similiar to when you adjust the car seat just right, and then someone comes and f*ck up that adjustment http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

So if you're a beginning guitarist like me (been playing just over 3 months) then I would seriously advise using these books/audio CD's but ALSO practising in your own way, like downloading songs you like http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif and playing them until your hands sweat (unless thats a bad thing :S)

@Jimmy-Tallice-Fan: yeah, books can help, but the ones that are worth getting is the tab ones, as that's all you need as a guitarist, no need to learn regular notaion, unless you're gonna be playing classical stuff, not cool stuff like metal. And yeah, it's better to have the audio CD as you'll need to know how fast you should play, that's why guitar pro is such an awesome software, you get to play back the tabs in the speed you want.

I mean... if I see, for example Johhny Deep walking on the streets, even though he is my favorite actor, I would act normal. He's just like any other person. I actually don't even know how old he is, or when is his birthday... etc. I don't care. Same thing goes with the bands and their music.

True, they are humans, some of them might be legends (like Hendrix), but in the end of the day they are just humans like us, but if I were you I would ask him for an autograph, you know how something like this is worth? you would get 100$ easily, but yeah I don't care when is birthday is, I'm only interested in their products, not them.

well, Richie Blackmore has some serious hard solos, but he also has easy ones, I think smoke on the water is the easiest solo I know, it was the first I learned anyway, if you need to improve your speed on the high (piched) strings you could practice thunderstruck by AC\DC, the Angus Young part, which is like this:

B-0h4-0h7-0h4-0h7-0h4-0h7

this also is a good way to improve your hammer ons

So now you get my point http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif. LOL... I would never ask someone for an autograph... I had a girl in my high-school that she was a member in a famous girl band. I used to pass next to her every day, but never in my life I asked her for an autograph. And neither did any of the people I knew. They all treated her like any other girl.
When I see people freakin out about some starts I just think they need to chill... those people have nothing better to do than to read everything about someone else's life...
So you also write lyrics, or do you only play the guitar?
As for my drawings... they don't looks so great... just a bunch of lines and nothing more.

lol, now that's cool, maybe I should try that sometime.

double tracking: the act of recording a track, then recording it again, so it sounds like 2 guitarists playing instead of one, it gives "bigger" sound, as you can't play the same riff exactly like you played it, the variations in time (usually only few milliseconds), dynamics and pitch make it sound bigger, it's used to make the guitar tracks on albums more pronounced over the whole mix.

thx, which one you mean btw? I'm now using a rotating sig with a total of 7 sigs (press the sig to go to the site that's hosting the sig if you want to use a rotating sig http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif)

cool, ig you want a song, you could try hall of the mountain king by savatage, it's a fast song though. come to think of it, hall of the mountain king is one of the few songs I've found tabs for in the net, wierd thing as they are pretty much very widely known, makes making cover songs a pain in the @$$, as you need to tab them first, which isn't an easy task, but meh.

well, I just bumped my left elbow (my picking hand) against the amp, so I guess I woun't play for a few days, as it was pretty serious bump, propably you being eager to play again has something to do with it...

in battery they use about 5 instruments, but not all play the same riff, double tracking is playing the same riff again, on fade to black I think they only used 3, but I might be wrong though.

I think I played the wrong one, I played Hall of the Mountain King- by Rainbow, I dont think it's the right one cause its pretty damn easy.

yeah, tell me about it, sometimes even the after party isn't enough to make you tired, but it's simply a great feeling to see people cheer cause something you played, really satisfying

I have recently become a musician, sort of.
I started playing guitar, and I must say, it's a lot of work.

I have practiced a few basic chords, and I'm getting to grips with finger placement, so maybe in, like, 5 years I'll get better http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

@Roxy: well, I don't like rap music, but I liked the lyrics. really, you didn't draw anything for over 3 years? I'd explode if I didn't play my guitar or drum for over 3 days.
cool, you may borrow mine, just give me a mailing adress
cool, your family are good at drawing at drawing, and mine at guitar, cool
odcourse it's creepy, it was directed by famous horror movie director, whom I seem to have forgot his name, so did you like the song?

I know you're an evil fiend, but I meant the other type of fiends, the misfits fans, that's how they call their fans

btw did you know that the misfits were one of metallica's main influences, and metallica were one of Godsmack's main influences along with Pantera, so that makes the misfits an indirect influence to Godsmack, and if you listen carefully you can hear it

yup, I'm another horse rider, but I propably don't get to ride horses as much as you do, as I don't own one, but I ride them whenever I get a chance to.

btw, they are called fretting fingers, not chord fingers, and be sure they'll hurt like hell at first
electric guitar parts with explanation (http://www.build-a-recording-studio.com/electric-guitar.html)
another advice is always play downstrokes, this might sound as stupid advice, but believe me it's better in the long term

@Dan: back in black, great song, and thumb rocks, don't ever diss the power of the thumb, either in picking or in fretting, it always rocks.
those square thingies aren't tabs, those are chords you dimwithttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif and the numbers indicate which finger you should use to fret that string

@James: indeed, only a fool would classify them as rock, but then again the world is full of fools.
well, ofcourse I'd go with tones first, looks later, but if I could have both the tones and the looks, I'd go with that optionhttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif besides I have all the amps and stompboxes, and pedals, and effects that I need for my tone, and they look cooler than the vetta on stage. Basically both rigs have the same tones, might as well have the looks too http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
well, it does cost a bundle, I got the combo for 2000$ including the deluxe pedalboard (1600$ for amp, and 400$ for the pedalboard), it's pretty expencive, but then again the triple recto head costs 1500$, and the mesa boogie recto 412 cabs are 700$. I might add the vetta to my rig cause I might use some of it's models, and might replace my whole rig with it as it would be easier to carry it around, only time well tell what I will do in the end

you diffenatly need to get some of their albums, and metalian is the dude they talk about in their songs, and have his picture on the covers:
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00004XN9V.08.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

in their fourth album they introduced a girl, just don't know her name

lol, I know, some people are just plain stupid, wonder what they would say if they knew about all the tones availabe for guitar http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/88.gif

guitarpro is way better program than power tab editor, and guitar pro 5 basicly has more realistic tones for guitar, bass and drums
