Glasses are for badasses. I think the solo was pretty good. Couldn't hear it much, but what I could hear was pretty good. Also, those girls are douches. They should have moved back a bit when they weren't singing.
I would have
a) ripped a massive A chord
b) pushed the chicks out of the way
c) soloed for the rest of the song to spite them for fucking up the arrangement
I found this amp which really seems to suit the styles I want to get into. Namely some more psychedelic rock like Pink Floyd and apparently it's got a good tone for blues and rock in general. Since it's capable of nice bluesy tones, I would assume it's alright for jazz too. What do you guys think?

Me performing with my ensemble group
We go to a music oriented school so it's actually a school subject :v:
I'm guitar(obviously)
About the solo at about 2:33:
We had agreed on verse - chorus - verse - chorus - solo - chorus x2,
but one of the singers forgot the second chorus and was looking at me like 'why aren't you playing :downs:' so I just made the best of it xC
So yeah that's why the solo turned out not-so-good, it was improvised in sheer panic
What do you think?

Also I know I look like an idiot in that video, don't judge me :v:[/QUOTE]
Hey man, one thing that is great to do for solos
If you have a volume pedal (or an amp where turning the volume past .5 doesn't explode it), use the volume pedal at half of full on when you play rhythm (or whatever sounds good with the rest of the band).
That way, when you play your solo, you can turn it up without having to do that much work, and everyone can hear you.
Solo was good, I might videotape myself teaching my orchestral band how to play a song tomorrow.

You should. It would be interesting to watch.

My video camera doesn't have a battery, but I can try and find a plug in the room to use for the charger.
I also don't think we have drums.
Anyone else use a POD of any sort? I use a POD X3 and I've found some okay tones but still looking for a great metal tone. I've recently started double-tracking my tracks so that helps the sound somewhat.
Here's what it sounds like right now.

I'm pretty happy with that video, but I ideally want to cover more technical, heavier bands, and that tone falls a bit weak for that stuff.

Glasses rock
Also without them I can not see
And yeah, they panicked a bit when they realized they had screwed up too, so I don't blame them :v:
[QUOTE=absinthe;26721361]
solo sounded pretty good for being made up on the spot
those singers sounded nothing short of awful[/QUOTE]
Thanks :buddy:
I actually think the singers are pretty good, mind you were all 16
I dunno maybe they were nervous

You know that was what I had planned to do but then I had to solo unprepared :saddowns:
Wow, practise does make perfect, just by playing the A scale slow as fuck alternate picking, i can now play it 5 times as fast as what i could without fucking up. I never thought I would be able to do this

Do what this guy does, he made a guide to get what sounds like a really awesome heavy metal tone.

AFAIK it basically works exactly the same as the X3 bean.

That tone sounds really nice to my ears.
the only thing missing is the "punch" that is given from a decent tube amp, but appart from that it sounds awesome.
I think I have found my new love :'D

Strat with a tumor
It's awesome. :'(
Whatever makes you happy man
[editline]16th December 2010[/editline]
The *pickguard looks hot
When I play it, I can play stuff that I couldn't do on my old guitar. :D
I don't know if I like it or not. Mixed feelings about it. Remove the tumor and maybe a bit lighter paintjob and it's a better looking guitar imo.

I've not made any speed increases recently, thought that might be from not having much time to practice. 'tis the season for typing 50 page papers, etc.
Though what I did do I spent getting comfortable with non-monkeybastard picking. And woe to me, for I actually like it better than my half-pencil now. And it makes holding big stubbies goddamn impossible.
I use big stubbies every time I'm not playing in my room. I only have 1 jazz stubby and it's my favourite so I don't risk losing it

Or rather, the guitar I'm getting in 9 days.

I'm looking for a new practice amp, and some kind of PC recording interface. Possibly with a mic for an acoustic guitar also. I play thrash metal (but I'm in a pop-punk band...album is being recorded 12/27-12/30) so hopefully something versatile enough to cover everything I play. Recommendations are appreciated<3
Steel acoustic or nylon?

Nardix the angle makes your strat look chubby :0
I'm sure it's beautiful IRL though
