Actually, that's a compliment! Thank you!

As for the recordings, I haven't recorded anything because I'm not currently in a band and I never got a chance to record with the old one. However, as soon as I do get something down I'll send it to you. I don't really have any pics of my guitars. You can find pics of the jem at
www.jemsite.com.

As for the maton, I've never heard of them. Are they an Australian brand?

Hmm. I play a lot of guitar myself.
Some songs aren't as easy as others, but they are very good:
Saybia - The Second You Sleep
Bryan Adams - almost every song. (ex. summer of 69)
Mew - Am I Wry? No

Anyone here play more than the basics? I can play pretty much every green day song ever written(or borrowed), though thats not saying much when you think about it. I can play about 80% of Metallica's songs, solos included. Lots of Hendrix, Led Zeplin, System of a Down, Papa Roach, Rage, most of Three Doors Down's first album, all of Candlebox's first album, lots of TSO. Once you get the basic idea of working your fingers around a guitar, and you come to understand tablature(its difficult when you first start, and some people write it wierd), you can start on those. They're more intermediate. Im starting to learn some more stuff by Metallica(harder solos I couldnt previously play), some songs by Dream Theater(one of the best bands ever, period), as well as Liquid Tension Experiment(Petrucci's side project), and studying Yngwie's style, though i'll have to practice 10 hours a day until im 30 to reach his level of speed.

As for equipment, I have a Yamaha strat rip-off(basically a Squier), a Schecter Omen-6, and a Gibson Explorer(rebuilt with EMG pickups and chrome skull knobs).
I use a Crate 15 watt or a Marshall 15 watt, with a Morley wah and a Boss Metal Zone.

My tried and true setup is the schecter into the marshall, no effects. Havent needed anything better yet.

Most of the shit you mentioned is pretty easy. Dream Theater is occasionally brilliant but they usually suck (there's better metal out there, try Devin Townsend, or In Flames). As for Yngwie...dude, there's more to it than speed. Shawn Lane could play the pants off of Yngwie but he had more feeling, Steve Vai is almost as fast, but writes interesting music. Even Mark Knopfler is waaaaay better than Yngwie. As for tablature...that's pussy shit, learn to read music.

aliendude012 · 02-26-2004, 01:51 AM

I can read music. so happens I can play violin, viola and cello, and have been since I was 7. so eat a dick. just so happens that rather than buying music books or something silly like that, there are multitudes of websites out there that offer a much simpler way of reading music.

And I know most of that is easy music. Some of the solos are a little tougher, but i've been commented on my style and precision by guys who have been playing longer than I have, so im not worried.

And I dont need you to tell me who is good and bad, or who to listen to. A suggestion is one thing, but an 'oh these people are better than your people' is bullshit. music = art = expression. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I happen to like yngwie because I aspire to have fingers as quick as his. did i say his music was inspiring or anything? no. i happen to hate his song structure, or his lack of intense creativity. but i listen to it because it amazes me how one can be that fast, and i want to be the same way. so i study him. I also think dream theater is great. havent been to see them yet but i hear its an intense show, though no one can ever beat TSO. Dont give me shit on my music, unless you plan on getting it in return.

I'm gonna have to say no. Knowing people that play guitar for a living who say that some of dream theaters stuff is damn complicated. Hell I have a video of Petruci playing flight of the bumble bee on the guitar. Care to tell me you or anyone you know can play that? Steve Vai frankly sucks (he has good technique but his music is screwy). I've seen him in concert. He is flaming to boot. Maybe if you had said Satriani. Yngwie is good too. You have no idea what talent it takes to play at that speed. Not to mention some of his songs are damn interesting. Ever heard the song blue. Probably the only thing Ive ever heard with archepegios(sp?) in a blues song. Damn cool shit. I would take satriani over him but that by no means devalues what the man can do.
And also. Tablature. I can read music and yet I prefer tabs. It has nothing to do with pussy and everything to do with personal preference.

*seen yngwie, satriani, vai in concert. Know a man who can play alot of their stuff.

jpatino03 · 02-26-2004, 02:40 AM

I've seen them all in concert. I didn't say that DT's music wasn't complicated, its the exact opposite, its only complicated for the sake of being complicated, which is pretty annoying. As for having no idea how long it takes to get yngwie's technique...I've been taking classical lessons since I was 7, which is way harder than anything you could ever do on an electric guitar, so i 've got a pretty good idea of how hard it is. Its arpeggio and Steve Vai's music is only screwy to those who don't understand.

As for tabs, they're usually inaccurate and lack any means of conveying time sense, so all you're getting are the pitches.

jpatino03 · 02-26-2004, 02:47 AM

Oh yeah: Train of Though sucked.

You do realize Yngwie was a classical guitarest. Hell most of his music has elements of classical guitar. He invented a style that blends the two.

Not to mention I disagree with what you say of classical being way more complicated. It isn't. It is different. I use to play trumpet (12 years), sing(6 years), violin (2 years), and played a little guitar (1 year). I've been exposed to musicians from a young age and dabbled in almoest every type of music. Every type of music is different. They all have different styles and techniques. Being great at one that perhaps you don't like does not negate the fact that they are an awesome guitarest and their stuff is hard as shit to match.

And I still say vais music is screwy.. The man strums slowly with his tongue in the shows.. come on...

If I were to listen to you only the people with the style you like are good. It doesn't work that way. The skill comes in being good at what they do. No one can deny Yngwie is one of the best guitarests in the world and your average person will never be able to play his stuff. One can also say the same of Petruci, Satriani.. hell even vai. The style doesn't change that.

edit- You can say you don't like Paviroti but that doesn't negate his abilities.

As for tabs, they're usually inaccurate and lack any means of conevying time sense, so all you're getting are the pitches.

Which matters how when you are doing a cover? You know the time lengths by memory, or you should.
