On the topic of amps, I have a Peavey Vypyr 30W. Does the trick, plus I love having all of the effects at my fingertips.
Username:Pmarckoue
Reason for joining:I saw "Ultimate Guitarist" and thought it was the same as the website. I also play guitar.
What is your preferred genre to play in:Rock and metal (and many of the metal sub-genres)
I've played guitar for about 4 years, and then took a break after the band I was in broke up, slowly gettin back into it though.
Welcome!!
Haha yes the name is a tribute to the website since I don't think I know a guitarist who hasn't used it before :P
Another metal head? Awww yeah \m/. What music did your band play?
Will you be attempting a cover of the tab of the month??
While on that topic I was thinking of making it Tab of the fortnight and change it every two weeks to encourage you all to play the guitar more and record yourselves for us all to see with the best cover going on the front page in the HALL OF FAME. (Voted by club members and anyone who has viewed the cover).
What do you guys think?
Aside from the "tab of the month", what is everyone learning at the moment?

Trying to cement the picking pattern for Dear Prudence - The Beatles in my head.
Hmm, trying to learn Technical Difficulties by Racer X... but I'm having techinical difficulties with it.. (My fingers don't move that fast >.>)
And I learnt some you me at six songs before that. (Gone from incredibly easy it insane difficult, smart move Tom, smart move.)
And before them was I never told you what I did for a living by My chemical Romance. That song was a pain to learn at first. How do you guys practices songs? Do you learn like parts at a time and perfect them or learn it all at once?

So Jake you dissect the song and then put it back together like some sort of mad scientist!
Has anyone done tab of the month yet? I'll be changing it this coming weekend and would very much like some cover's and a possible first hall of famer! Or would you guys like a bit more time?
Oh my god DADGAD tuning just sounds amazing when it's strummed openly, I love it. Bartender by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds is actually played in this tuning when it's just a solo person playing, it gives it such a full and rich sound it's wonderful. Maybe I'll put a recording of that up at some point when I have my guitar around =P
It's used a lot by the Civil Wars, one of my favourite duos. Worth a look if you like that spooky acoustic drone from the tuning.
If anyone remembers the main theme from the game Bastion, it's also used for that, despite what all of the tabs say.
This is a rad club! I'd like to join.
Username: Penatrait
Reason for joining: I've been playing guitar for close to seven years. I love playing in a band as lead or rhythm guitarist, and recent complications in the band may result in me trying my hand at bass guitar.
Preferred genre: Rock and Funk.
Also, I know I'm new, but what does everyone think about getting together for a collaboration? I noticed you guys record yourselves playing the Tab of the Week, which I was just gonna go ahead and try, but since we're all into recording we should try to write something together!
Oh, and as for how I learn a new song, I go for the tab always. Sometimes I'll try to figure it out by ear myself, but I'll most likely resort to ultimate-guitar.com. It's fun to see the similarities/differences between what I thought was played and what is actually played.
