Whoa HOLY SHIT let's start this thang THIS IS IT

listens to the thread to hear the incoming shredding.

Speed picking has always been a noticeable void in my playing. But this vid inspired me a couple of months back to give it a decent shot, maybe it will do so for others liking that sort of thing.

I'm not into Buckethead, but I heard this song the other day and really liked it.

Whenever I think of Buckethead song I imagine random heavy parts mixed in with ultra-offbeat emotional riffs.
-
Same here. I think of weird atonal noodling. I can't really get interested in it.

How about some real good music then?

Do you know this song?

Guitards :teehee

I'm not so much into Yngwie's music but respect him a bunch.
I never heard that song but it rocked. I like when he does more bluesy stuff and just adds the neoclassical stuff for a bit of spice.

I think my next electric will be a fixed bridge so I can do more alternate tunings. I only have floating trems at the moment. Speaking of drop D, my favourite classical guitarist playing a piece by my favourite classical guitar composer. In DROP D :rock

Ah fuck, there's talking all over it. Eh, whatever.

I never had a problem with my floating trem. *shrugs*

It's just a bitch if it's locked undoing those nuts with an allen key going back and forth between tuning.
-
I just mean you can't do a quick alternate tuning or drop D on the spot unless the trem is blocked.

Keaggy's the master of using acoustic guitar and effects and downtuning mid song to do a bass line and so much else. You owe it to yourself to check him out, guitards.
-
The dude is definitely inventive. Cool stuff.
-
i changed the strings on my acoustic and now it buzzes like fuck when i use a capo :'(
-
Adrian Legg is so technically good he makes me sick. Disregard the genre and watch what he's actually doing. There are better examples, but I can't spend much time on Youtube because of my mobile bandwidth cap. He gets really crazy in some songs, using the tuning heads to play instead of frets at some points.

Leave the bottom E and A unlocked. :-*
Drop it and fine tune on the tremelo. :-*

:bow Adrian Legg
I'm reminded of another acoustic great, Tommy Emmanuel (song starts around 3:00-3:30).

Are you using a fully floating trem where you have to retune all strings, or a trem that just goes down where retuning one string doesn't affect the others?
If you are retuning on a fully floating trem, you are indeed a determined and patient fellow! :)

Holy crap at that Don Ross song.

Tell me about some of your favourite gear, boritos. I still love playing my main electric, an Ibanez. I got it in 1997 after much penny-pinching.

I miss my old Les Paul, which was stolen a few years back and never replaced. I'm still bouncing between my new Parker and my Godin hybrid electric, and a no-name classical. I've recently downgraded my amp, as I'm not doing live shows at the moment and haven't in a bit, and had a friend who needed one badly, so I swapped him my Marshall head and cabinet for his Peavy Bandit and some cash. I figure I'll pick up another Marshall cabinet down the road if I need it, or look into something completely different. The Line 6 stuff has always intrigued me.

Eh, I'd stay far far away from that crap. :wag Would you be looking to get tube or solid state and how much would you spend?
-

Not sure yet, more a hypothetical situation at this point, if I start doing live gigs again. I haven`t checked much into the Line 6 heads and cabs yet, but a few folks I know have had decent experiences with them.

I know some people who use them but every time I've tried them they feel like shoddy craftsmanship.
-
Interesting. Yeah, I`ve never played one myself, but I`ve been curious just based on second-hand accounts.
-
I think the Line 6s are worth a look, but I have to agree a couple of people I know who have tried them have not been over the moon. I never tried them much myself.
Peavey Bandits are frickin' awesome. I've had one for I don't know how long and they're awesome for at home. :rock
A friend of mine picked up a Hughes & Kettner head a while back after searching for a few years for his tonal nirvana, and I must admit, it sounds pretty darn amazing. Kind of expensive, although it does have very pretty lights which has to be worth at least a grand or two.
If you've got pics of your new Parker and the Godin I'd love to see them sometime.
-
Here's the Parker, it's a pic I've posted before, taken the night it was given to me. Mine's the burgundy on the left, friend kept the charcoal on the right. He picked me up one as a gift.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/hotgraham/DSC00117.jpg)
I don't have any pics of my Godin on hand, but she's a bit weather-beaten. It was my primary guitar for live shows in the early 2000's. Missing a tone knob that I have yet to replace. I'll snap a pic tonight if I have time.
-
Shiiiiiit, that's nice. How do you find the sound compared to say your old Les Paul?
(Sorry that was stolen BTW :()
-
Pretty nice. It weighs nothing, yet gets the deeper tones that I tend to like quite well. The weight was actually the weirdest part of it for me, having always owned/played heavier guitars.
-
I love these acoustic videos you guys posted. Makes me wish bass could do anything nearly as cool.

What did you think of the song I posted? (Yngwie Malmsteen - Blue)
-

Did you not wind up picking up a cheap acoustic, Meth? I thought I remembered you mentioning that you were planning to.
edit: Powerslave, I still have Rising Force and Marching Out on vinyl kicking around at my house somewhere from when I was younger.
-
^same question goes to you muckhole!
-
I was but everytime I pick up this really old acoustic I have I get turned off because it's so hard to play because of the bridge
:-\
also one of my friends is a Yngie fan so I've seen that Blue video before but it's still a classic.
-
I'm reminded of this awesome bass guitar:
[youtube=560,345]N2xmPmEbY48[/youtube]
-
Blue is amazing.
-
Once you get to that level it's not really a bass guitar anymore is it :-\
You guys should make a bass thread that way we can show Wooten videos <3
-
I guess so, but I was just thinking of the sweet, sweet sounds that can come out of a bass when you play more than a single note line and was reminded of that vid.
I love this vid of Yngwie showing his guitars.
[youtube=560,345]rEvRDC-mGmg[/youtube]
Everyone always says "OMG how can he just drop that rare strat?!" He's Yngwie noobs, he does WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS.

Joe Satriani is one of my faves and this is some of my faves from him:

This is one of my recent favorites. It has a great complex as shit guitar riff. I think you guys will dig it:

:omg Rubina is one of my favourite songs of his too. I think this was one of the first 'hard' songs I learned, I practiced for so long I think I can still remember that little legato riff in the middle note for note. Everyone learns Always With Me Always With You first, but I think this is an even nicer song.
Do you still listen to his stuff Zero? I haven't bought the last CD as I'm a little unimpressed but I thought Super Colossal was some of the best stuff he's ever done.

I don't know if it was me or him, but I kind of lost track after Time Machine.
You love Rubina too? :-* I believe that is his wife's name and it is a beautiful song, especially live.
I can't take much of the recorded(canned) shit anymore. Live is where it's at with these guys.
:-*
-
I waned for a long time too, but Super Colossal was full of great hooks, I was a little blown away I admit. In any case, nobody rocks live like Satch live. Even if it's a song I don't like, it's still awesome live.
One of my faves from that era (bitchin' live orchestra version):
[youtube=560,345]9IrWyZ0KZuk[/youtube]
Mildly amusing story: I had this DVD on a while ago and my mum was visiting. I said "doesn't this sound great" and she said, "yeah, I don't like that song". I was mildly shocked because I had no idea she didn't like it. I butchered it for years in my bedroom when I was younger, and all that time my poor mum had to endure a song she doesn't even like.
That's probably why she hates it. :(
-
Atleast your mom doesn't constantly tell you to get a real hobby :-\
-
That's a shame, music is a great hobby. I just watched that Little Feat vid, love hearing cool stuff I've never heard before. :rock
-
I think she only says that because it's a bass. >:(
-
:lol

A sweet little acoustic piece I just found.

*Goes to practice scales*
-
It makes me wonder, just how the hell do they manage to just jam like that. I know it's scales but I have trouble jamming within one scale and having it sound too much alike. Jeesh.
-
I'm not really sure what level you are at methodis, or if this really helps, but when I used to teach I noticed there is a period when you start using scales properly in improvision, but your improvising doesn't sound like a melody, more like scales going up and down. If that's you, some things I found can help:
- stick to just two, three or four notes and make a strong melody that repeats frequently, like in the verse of a song. Most listeners needs something for their ear to latch on to, otherwise they won't be attached to, or understand what you're playing. Keep coming back to it in your improvisation session and build around it.
- if you want to do a scale-like run, the context of it is important, but also how you begin and/or end it is fairly critical. If it just ends at the top of the scale, it'll tend to sound like a scale, but if the few notes after it are well chosen, it will become integrated into the melody.
-
I think the main problem I have is more that i'm doing the same thing. They don't sound like going up and down the scale as it's not really a descending order. I just have trouble moving from scale to scale as I have no clue how to do it (although I guess it has to do with Octaves)
-

:lol WTF.

When you say moving from scale to scale do you mean changing keys like from a C Major to a G Major scale? Or do you mean just moving around within one key?
Moving between keys is complex and jazz musicians spend their whole lives becoming proficient at it. Moving around within one key is far easier though, and generally a matter of learning shapes that let you move around how you would like initially. If you find you're locked within a position and have trouble moving up and down the neck, a couple of shapes that move up and down the neck would help.
Knowing where octaves are is also very useful, but you may find you end up with gaps where you're not sure what notes to play if you use that as the only way to get around the neck.
