I'm not entirely sure of everyone's skill level here, so probably start off with the basics. How about an alternating pick exercise. Maybe something that can help with alternate picking up and down strings.

SKY: That was a nice track. It could be the mic that you recorded on, but it sounded like the one of the strings were a little out of tune, other than that though it was a nice relaxing piece.


So, I was wanting to customize a guitar. I'm wanting to use an Ibanez RG320 body with a Lefty Neck. I cannot find anyone who sells guitar parts at all, I checked at the official Ibanez site, but they do not have any Necks in stock. Anyone know of any dealers of guitar parts?

OH SWEET! Another metal head, pleased to meet you Seeker. Just curious, what guitars do you have?
Welcome SeekerOfDarkness!
Yes what gutiars do you own! Pictures and descriptions of your babies pleaseee <3.
Thanks! Well, don't get too excited guys, cuz my guitars aren't all that impressive XD. My first and favorite guitar is a Yamaha C45M with steel strings instead of nylon. I've had this baby for as long as I can remember, and while it's still only a cheap classical guitar, it's part of my family. Sadly, though, I don't have a picture of it. I also have a Fender Squier Strat that I got on sale. I often consider this one a total waste of cash, mostly because it doesn't work half the time. There's something screwed up inside the guitar, so sound doesn't always come out of the amp. I'm hopefully gonna get it replaced soon, though. I don't have a picture of this one either. Sorry!

Also, concerning the tab... I've put the notes into Guitar Pro, and they sound right, but I'm not sure what the rythym is supposed to be (or time sig for that matter). Could you help a guy out?

There you go, he actually plays the song at about 40 seconds if you want to skip to that but that what is is suppose to sound like, sorry it took me so long to reply totally blanked on it/was hoping someone else would reply before I posted again.
Theres only a little more time before I change the tab again, I hope that we get some covers, I'd cover it myself but Im a horrible fingerstyler so you guys are going to have to pick up the slack for me!

Also your guitars seem pretty decent! As long as they song good thats all that matters, not the price tag! All my guitars have been under $500 Australian so far... Going to be upgrading soon though, Yay!

Seeker I really hope you can get around to it, it'd be really great to see a cover of it before I change it again.

They sound like fantastic instruments Zephyr, now I really want to see what they look like, would it be possible for you some how to get a photo of them?

Also does anyone have any ideas on how to make the club more active? Feel free to suggest something.

That's weird that it's not workin. I've tried to add a different URL to the same video, but it hasn't worked.

As for the topic, I'd probably have to say that, all though I don't have a favorite, Brendon Small is definitely up there. He's a great guitarist, and he made Metalocalypse, so you know he's awesome. Not only can he do sick solos, but he can also create songs with great chord progressions and rhythms that work well and are very metal.

Sorry, I've been really super busy lately, so I couldn't get a cover up. I'll try for the Pirates, but I still don't know if I'll be able to. Gonna be gone for two weeks, and I'm trying to learn a couple of songs to preform at a camp I'm going to in a few weeks. Yay showing off.

Anyways, my favorite guitarist? Easy. Mikael Akerdfelt of Opeth. He practically single-handedly inspired me to play guitar, especially metal. And not only that, but I'm pretty sure Brendon Small used Mikael as an inspiration for one of the fictional members of Dethklok (not sure which one, I don't really watch Metalocalypse). So yeah.

@Pmarck,
Perhaps youre not putting in the correct part of the url when you're trying to embedded it?

My Favourite Guitarist:

I have a few but the winner has to be Dan Donegan from Disturbed. He is basically the reason I play guitar and I have so much respect for him. He can play simple chord progressions like its all he's done his whole life then bust into a crazy face melting riff like nothing happened and to top it off producers INCREDIBLE solo's that add to the songs and arent just shredding or showing off. In my opinion a fantastic guitarist in every aspect.

It's a show, on Adult Swim, about "the biggest band in the world" names Dethklok. The creator, Brendon Small, created the songs on the show and is actually in the live Dethklok band, be plays guitar and he does vocals. They are a melodic death metal band, and all their fans are crazy for them. Each episode is pretty much what goes on in their daily lives, and in every episode at least one person dies. It's a pretty funny show with a LOT of gore.

Oh thats really cool! I might have to catch it one day, see if its as good as it sounds!

So what songs have everyone been learning lately? I just finished learning most of God Knows By Aya Hirano, and I was thinking of re-learning some songs I have forgotten like Focus shift By Dark Tranquility and tuning my guitars down uber lower for some Parkway Drive songs.

Alex

what will it be next?

Hahaha, I watched a few episodes of Metalocalypse back in the day. I wasn't huge into it but I loved the concept.

Anyways, how's everyone been doing. My drummer went to Scotland so we haven't practiced in a little while. We decided to tackle Muse's Stockholm Syndrome - an incredibly simple tabbing, but repetitive and fast as hell. My wrist is going to swell, but it'll be awesome! We're gonna be playing a gig downtown in my city, should be awesome.

Here's our setlist:
Purple Haze (Jimi)
Purple Stain (RHCP)
"Nothing is True" an original
Don't Forget Me (RHCP)
Karma Police
"Everything is Permitted" the second part to our original
Stockholm Syndrome
Crying Lightning (arctic monkeys)

Oh that sounds awesome Pen. That's a pretty cool set list and it's awesome to see an original song. You guys should record the set and upload it for us or at least record your original song! Are you getting paid for it?

Well, I learn songs pretty quickly nowadays, but maybe that's cuz I've been doing a lot of rythym work, so there's not too much to learn. But anmyways, here's the songs I've been learning for the past... while.

Harvest - Opeth
Good Riddance - Green Day
Waiting on the World to Change - John Mayer
The Pokemon Theme Song - Ray Parker, Jr.
Gold on the Ceiling - The Black Keys
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica
One - Metallica
Fade to Black - Metallica
To Bid You Farewell - Opeth
Holiday - Green Day
Hey Soul Sister - Train

And... Well, I'm not proud of it, but I had to learn it for an upcoming concert: Born This Way - Lady Gaga

I know. Kinda all over the place.

When it comes to acoustic, how do you feel when the guitarist is most talented?

This:


Anyone who can play the guitar like that and sing is extremely talented in my books. Newton Faulkner is another good example of what I think is extreme talent on an acoustic guitar.

Also is anyone thinking of tackling this months tab? Its the pirate of the Caribbean theme song!

That guy's sick. I can barely play guitar like that, let alone sing along with it lol
While we're on the subject of finger picking:

He obviously uses an effect, but it still sounds great, it's hard to even believe one guy is playing.

I have heard that song before and thought it was cool then, still the same feeling! It really sounds cool another good fingerstylist from candy rat is Antoine Dufour, you should check out his song "Scratch" its pretty amazing xD.

Who here is actually a finger stylist? I am personally so hopeless at it its embarrassing to pick up an acoustic guitar. :|
