[QUOTE=Skyhawk;24376592]Any keyboard models in particular you might recommend? How about the Yamaha I linked to?[/QUOTE] That seems like a good deal. My friend had a larger version of that model and it was nice.
[QUOTE=Just2Rusty;24384764]moog guitar isn't all that new I thought?[/QUOTE] I think they've been around for about a year now. So, they're still relatively new.
I went deeper than a bass guitar with my baritone guitar (D#) Here is a record, with an additional stupid riff at the end, yay! [URL]http://soundcloud.com/dekay-snug/prs-baritone-low-d[/URL] :iiam: And this time I am not going to record an full Djent song by request because I am doing it anyways! :smile: [I]soon[/I]. Rate Artistic for interesting! Rate Hearts for badass (Hearts is all the ratings in one.) Rate Tools for "more" Rest ratings count normally.

[QUOTE=mynames2long;24391789]Cool Oh and I'm getting the LTD, the Schecter had passives and I want as many alternatives as possible[/QUOTE] Yea that is the only LTD I really like, there is an baritone version out, which is pretty cool but not long enough with 26.5 for me!
I'm thinking of getting an Mbox 2. It'll work with Logic Pro 9 with no issues from what I hear. Can anyone confirm?
[QUOTE=Siminov;24375471]Even better [img]http://a1.images1.thomann.de/pics/bdb/223994/2304147_800.jpg[/img] :flashfap:[/QUOTE] I really did have a hard time deciding between the two. I really did. But I prefer the Explorer more than the V, but I don't know why. I just think it suits bass better than the V.
Update: I got [url=http://www.guitarcenter.com/Yamaha-PSRE323-61-KEY-ENTRY-LEVEL-PORTABLE-KEYBOARD-105459523-i1446706.gc]this bitch.[/url] Guitar Center didn't have either of the amps I was interested in, nor did they have anything similar to what I was looking for (I was at the store by the way.) I don't even know how to play keyboard/piano but this thing is already tons of fun screwing around on. I have a feeling this will be prove to have been a good investment, and will some day be great for recording tracks to accompany guitar recordings and possibly entire songs on its own :smile: FFFFFFFFFFFFF- Now it's time to learn Piano on my own (a teacher is not really an option where I live) :ohdear:
I really want a V. I don't know if I want a Rhoads or a King V, I just know I don't like the Epi/Gibson look. Anyone know of anything with a Floyd? :D
Yesss tonight was even more awesome than I thought. So, I played little wing for the school concert. Everything was as swell as could be. My lord, i loved every minute of it, got a huge round of applause (as did everyone else who played anything). I was so proud. And it was only 7PM, since SRV died 20 years ago to this date, they were doing a coverband for him, along with Jimmie Vaughan at Antones (a fucking amazing club where anyone is welcome to listen to music). Turns out the coverband was setting up around 7:30 and no one was there, so I dropped off my guitar and stuff w/ my mom and she drove off, I went in there and chilled listening to them set up and stuff. I got to sit in the sound control area thing, too. Lots of knobs up there. So around 7:45 I sit there and I'm about to pass out being so tired, what with school and performances. I had admired that Antones was allowing the band to use only Antones' guitars. Anyway, I have on a SRV shirt with my pick in my mouth dangling off my lip, a black formal shirt over my SRV shirt, and jeans + converse, my usual attire. The guitarist yells, "Hey kid!" I didn't think anything of it, until he said, "Hey kid with the blonde hair." I looked up, he signaled me to come up on stage and to play something while he went up to the sound booth to fuck around or something. So, he said, "Play something!" Well, my mind just clicked on and said, "How about some rude mood?" Fuck I just stood there playing that song like a smug motherfucker. Everyone stopped and said, "You're good for your age." I hear a door slam and I stop, wondering if what I did was illegal (hearing a door slam makes me think I did something wrong, I guess.) And out walks Jimmie vaughan, from a room, which I guess was a dress room. He came out and shook my hand, and said, "I have not heard someone your age ever play a blues song so well, and it nearly brings a tear to my eye." So I sat down and told him that my dad is the professor of jazz composition at a university, and that he plays at a bar/grill every night, I wanted to do what he did but with blues. He shook my hand and said, "Keep doing what you're doing, you'll be great." And that is the story of how I shit my pants, my face turned redder than a tomato, and I shook the hand of Stevie Ray Vaughan's brother. I wish I got a picture, but I was so freaked out that I met someone i looked up to!
you have a pick piercing what
I think he meant he had one in his mouth kinda lazily hanging out on his lip, not a piercing.
I had like 8 guitars, sold most of them. Now I only have a Strat and a Steinberger. People spend too much time fapping over guitars IMO.
[QUOTE=TheLocust;24403535]I had like 8 guitars, sold most of them. Now I only have a Strat and a Steinberger. People spend too much time fapping over guitars IMO.[/QUOTE] Most of the guitars I've ever said I wanted were just for show. Realistically I want a 7-string a like, a baritone I like, and a 24-fret 6-string that I like. 7 for obvious purposes, baritone for C-standard and below, and the 6-string for anything from Db-standard/drop-C#, to E-standard.

what the fuck are you on about certain material can only be played effectively on extended range guitars
[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;24403714]what the fuck are you on about certain material can only be played effectively on extended range guitars[/QUOTE] like what?
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPpbekTXC2M[/media] Good example of what you can do with a 8-string guitar.
[QUOTE=whitespace;24403796][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPpbekTXC2M[/media] Good example of what you can do with a 8-string guitar.[/QUOTE] yes, good example, but could you not play the same piece even more effectively with a bassist?

I don't understand why people get upset about others wanting a guitar with more than six strings, or a bass with more than four.
[QUOTE=Reaver1991;24403845]It's always nice to have more notes to work with. I don't understand why people get upset about others wanting a guitar with more than six strings, or a bass with more than four.[/QUOTE] you still have the same notes to work with theoretically, I just find seven+ stringed guitars more distracting.
my friend seems convinced that anything over six strings is only good for death metal/things that require a lower string for a more "brutal" sound
[QUOTE=TheLocust;24403840]yes, good example, but could you not play the same piece even more effectively with a bassist?[/QUOTE] Yeah but that wouldn't be as cool :smug: 8-string guitars are often used to create heavier riffs by playing the lower notes, like in this.

[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;24403880]my friend seems convinced that anything over six strings is only good for death metal/things that require a lower string for a more "brutal" sound[/QUOTE] just tune down your E to A :joel:
[QUOTE=TheLocust;24403873]you still have the same notes to work with theoretically, I just find seven+ stringed guitars more distracting.[/QUOTE] Well, sure it has the same thirteen notes, but they're still different octaves and such. What do you mean by you find seven strings distracting?

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdoPuhzHdMI[/media][/QUOTE] eeee! meshuggah. i like meshuggah. sadly though, I find suffocation's riffs to be heavier. and they use 6 stringed guitars.

[QUOTE=TheLocust;24403744]like what?[/QUOTE] Abasi, a lot of Opeth, Meshuggah, a good amount of jazz. I'm not going to go find every song that requires 7 or more strings but they exist. [QUOTE=TheLocust;24403840]yes, good example, but could you not play the same piece even more effectively with a bassist?[/QUOTE] No. You couldn't. This is so blisteringly stupid...
[QUOTE=Reaver1991;24403898]Well, sure it has the same thirteen notes, but they're still different octaves and such. What do you mean by you find seven strings distracting?[/QUOTE] distracting, like they receive too much attention, people forget it's the same concept of playing. the concept of playing changes if you have... a 12 stringed guitar for example. I guess 7 strings are good if you like to over-complicate things with 7 string sweeps. but what fun is that?
[QUOTE=TheLocust;24403890]just tune down your E to A :joel:[/QUOTE] My god why didn't I think of this earlier It's... beautiful
