Guitar battle... cool idea but the fact that neo classical and shred is so prepubescent is kind of unfair to those of us who aren't 14....

DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHERE OTHERS ARE COMPARED TO YOU! Music is about individuality man.... move at your own pace and do things your own way.

I'm also the same way though dude... My improv seems to be stale after a minute or so.. and I seem to get less and less comments on my playing as I seem to feel that I'm getting better... so it sucks because I don't know whether my playing is really getting worse or what

The link doesn't work... but you don't have to worry about rushing in and forcing notes... the most important thing is putting emphasis on the right notes... speed isn't #1 in the blues (But if you mix the two perfectly it can be cool (Gary Moore)).

Mind reuploading? And... anyone wanna collab on like a blues based backing track or something?

a Welcome To The Jungle backing track? Thanks in advance.

Help me please, when I'm playing guitar and I want to fret with my pinky, I feel a bone move or crack in my pinky. Is this normal? I'm hoping it will go away, I haven't used my pinky much and it started to hurt after playing the fast run in the SCOM solo

You should probably see a doctor.

Learning scales also help you better understand riffs as well.

And I remember reading somewhere that Izzy would print out a chart of all the chords he used in Coma since there were so many, so even the pros need some help

Thanks much

I came across this on limewire while searching for Dream Theater. It is called Lost Without You and and it says the peformer is Dream Theater, but I am assuming that all that information is wrong, since I searched for Lost Without You and it turned up no results and it doesn't even recognize it as a Dream Theater song. Does anyone here know the actual title and guitarist that performs this? Thanks much. It's a slow, bluesy track with some piano in the back. I was thinking maybe a Gary Moore tune or somethin', but I can't tell.

Actualy gnr uses pre-recorded music at all their live shows. So they don't have to remember anything as far as tabs go. Even if they did, their music is so easy i bet even  gnr wouldn't fuck up when they play

....what?

Luiz for mod!!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

This topic is actually kind of said, I really feel bad for this guy.

Hahahah

This was good for a laugh, though. Haha, God Bless 'Em

They were going to come back but they said that johnstr smelled bad so now they're not. Way to ruin it for your country, d-bag!

No problem, dude. It takes a little while, but just work on it for a few hours, and practice it every day and eventually it becomes natural. Like you watch Slash do all that shit and he doesn't mess up because it's just as easy as playing a single not.

Just hours of practice

ESPGUITARS

Am, E

The progression from A minor to E is awesome.

This is kind of a interesting thread....

I recorded and tried to show how it works using an example of Slither (I never learned the solo, just from what I've messed around with, but the little lick that involves what you're talking about is correct).

This solo is mostly in D minor pentatonic. If you don't know what that is, learning your pentatonic scales will help a lot with learning a lot of these licks, since 99% of rock licks are based off those scales (Maybe not 99%, but you catch my drift). What I do when playing it is bend bend the 3rd string 12th fret up (Which is a G note) to an A note (3rd string 14th fret) using my third finger, and then hitting the 10th fret second string (Another A note) with my first finger and then hammering on to the 13th fret 2nd string and pulling off quickly back to the 10th fret. Then you just repeat that a couple times pretty quickly. I slowed it down in the video to see what I'm saying, and here's a tab if it's still confusing.

That's what the tab would look like. b meaning bend, h meaning hammer on, and p meaning pull off. I also included a clip of the solo of Slither from a performance on Letterman. Sorry for the shitty quality of the video, and I wasn't using a wah pedal so that's why the solo won't sound exact to the one on the record. If you still got any questions or what-ev just post'm, or someone else try explaining if I didn't do a good job or just made things confusing. But I can't stress how important it is to learn those penatonics man; it's the basis of everything holy, man!

Anyway, good luck to you and your playin'

PB

Haha that's awesome!! I've never seen that episode...

Explain.... That's hard to explain, but i'll record myself doing it for you, it's pretty easy when you get it down and really adds to your playing because you can do it pretty much anywhere.

OH yeah, I forgot all about that dude, I started tabbing some of it one night and never worked on it again.

Well here's some of what I got;

I don't know if any if it is really that correct, but it's a basic idea for the intro at least. But it was an awesome performance

Axl is one of the worst singers in the industry?

Pretty good for a 7 year old

I'm only kiddin' with ya man.

How long have you been playing?

Van Halen's tone, Gilmour's, Eddie Hazel's, GARY MOORE, Angus Young's

Same as the last one, just record your own improv over it. It's in the key of G.

Next one will have a rock backing track since I know a lot of you don't really like the blues, but it's an awesome backing track.

You guys have nothing to worry about. Remember: Downloading music is illegal. Now raise your hand if you abide by that law.

Didn't think so.

And tabs are much smaller anyway, so its even harder to track who's sharing and how much n' all that shit. Werd mo' fuckaz

Fuckin' awesome.

What do you use to record this, it sounds like some old school demo?

For the most part, the messages relate to the band, which is what the topic is about, and what this section is for.

Regardless, I will try and limit the personal chatter to the PMs (PMS ROFFLEZ!!!11)

Love,
