Metal Reviews

For some luls, a video of one of my bands, sans singer and a guitarist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k346xM9hD0c

Gonna really devote some time learning how to sweep pick this summer; I've got about every metal guitar technique down pat except that. I think people that do nothing but sweep all the time are douches, but it'd be nice to know how to do it and use it occasionally.

I play...the flute. Does that count for this thread or is it strictly for metal-related instruments?

Nope, not gonna do it... too easy...

Yeah i also need to practice that, but man i suck at practicing every time i start i get distracted and then start jamming.

Me playing Emerald:

Not perfect but whatever.

I hear the skin flute is popular

What's the old adage?
Elton John is a great piano player, but he sucks on the organ...


BTW, Sarah, don't mind us, we're just a couple of pigs oinking it up...swinish, yes, but not malicious.

I'm really just a softie at heart.

Haha I must admit, it's kinda funny watching you guys going back and forth.

so, how long did you lurk before emerging from the shadows?

not too long ;)

That's my problem. I just get frustrated and want to play something else. I can't really just sit down and jam well, either, I tend to either want to play actual songs or work on writing one. Playing with structure is much more appealing for me.

Got myself one of these babies. It's made of awesome and metal Expect some recordings soon.

Oooh, my friend has one of those, and it has much potential, but he doesn't really play metal so that's kind of a drag. I use one of these:



And I get some truly spectacular metal tone out of it. Lots and lots of variety.

I read good things about that one you have there. The distortion on my g2.1u is surprisingly good and quiet so I probably won't buy a separate dist. pedal, even though I planned to buy one with the g2.1u initially. Glad I didn't. The little guy can shatter the windows with a decent amp. Couldn't figure out half of what it can do though like how to get wah-wahs and the pitch shifter.

Bach's Cello Suite Prelude is such a fun piece to play.

I'm envious. The finger work at 1:20 looked mighty impressive.
