Two i just found

[intermission]

they any good, if youve used them?

[Seanx101]

Well i just googled them but they might be good

[intermission]

ye the guitartricks website is realli good......thanks......whats your favourite songs to play?

[Seanx101]

I enjoy playing a7x

[intermission]

can you play it as good as them ?

[CityRebel]

I play Bass, which is completely different than guitar, but I love to play anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the blues. Yeah, I know, odd combination. Lynyrd I like to play because it's easier for me to play and sing on it, and blues because you can add your own riffs and really have fun with it.

[intermission]

you in a band cityrebel?

[CityRebel]

Been in four. Last one I was in was at church and they kicked me out for smoking. The funny thing is that my replacement smokes too! Only difference is that he is 41, I'm 18.

* Thread Sticked *

[intermission]

lol all my priests smoke...not exactly a sin

[CityRebel]

They felt like it would lead to "other" things, seeing as I was the wild child out of the youth group. I was the only one that was involved in drugs and not a virgin (Before I started going to church) out of the whole group, which is why I guess they got that assumption. Oh well, made me realize alot of things when that happened. Oh yeah, I can't forget Punk. I don't play it, but I enjoy the energy and the feel of it when I'm singing. I guess you would say I'm a singer first, bass player second.

[The Evolution Of Life]

There you go, if you can't quit smoking don't smoke at church it's that simple.

[intermission]

lol, i so wish i could sing, and like be ok at anything else because singing will be so much fun, btw are there any drum players here?

[intermission]

hmmm im getting along ok at the moment, but when i was trying out the guitars in the shops ....they were perfect, but since it cost a bit more(didnt know about the bargaining) and they didnt have it in black i decided to get mine online.....obviously with the disadvantage of not being able to play it...it came fine but one thing they really pisses me off is the thing you put the lead in...is fiddily and loose, and for al guitar expects i was wondering if i could just tighten it...or should i send it back...get my money back and buy a new guitar?(preferrably the one i saw at the shop)

You could do one of several things.

1) Take it too a shop or specialist and ask them to get it fixed

2) Or tighten the screws with a screwdriver.

Only do the first if you fail. BTW where are you from in London Mish?

[intermission]

north....but i took the guitar back because i couldnt be bothered to pay for it anymore , hopefully they dont send it back!! but ive given up on the instruments just not for me...plus i need money for gigage!

[Colonel_Rule]

No man. You haven't!!!!!! It takes me ages to be good at it, you just have to practise. You should have just bought a guitar book and learnt about chords and that sort of stuff then it would be easy to learn other stuff. That's a shame man.

As for money, just rob a news agent or two, there's plenty around that area and the owners can't speak English and even if they could they are full of Polish assylum seekers which would get them in more trouble.

[intermission]

....im still geting an accoustic eventually...just the electric was too much for my present time........atm , i want tickets to mcr, taking back sunday,killswitch engage,bfmv and panic at the disco and the guitar was draining my funds!!!

[Colonel_Rule]

Fair enough then.

[intermission]

they will probably send it back anyway...as its easily fixed i suppose but at least thats one week i wouldnt have to pay for and could fuel my mcr gig...oh if i dont get a ticket i will kill someone or more emo....myself:D

[Colonel_Rule]

If you really want to get rid of it (If they send it back) flog it on eBay, you won't get all of your cash back but you'll get some back.

[intermission]

lol nah i want it like and i would pay for it but i just would rather not have it now but if i get it now so be it ,i would get it eventually in the future anyway

[Colonel_Rule]

Want to go on a musical instrument shop raid?

[intermission]

....i shall have to decline your invitation...not my style...and after the time you said we should help our local businesses.....for shame nWo for shame

[Colonel_Rule]

Fuck that........Well we could raid internet company's warehouses then.

[intermission]

..hmmm ye**thinks about it** but i must restrain from raiding in general even though the bastards deserve it!!!

[Colonel_Rule]

Come on!!!!!!!!! You can use the sledge hammer :p

[Colonel_Rule]

My Squier Strat (My first)

[mbibby]

That Les Paul is damn fine! Me gotta now save £400 haha :D

[Colonel_Rule]

It's well worth the money. I had to bargain a lot to get it for that though. Original price was £550.

[Seanx101]

I've got a cheapy Les Paul that cost me £125 and it looks cool but i can't play the damn thing cause it's broke

[intermission]

odd question, but can any of you play guitar, with the guitar behind your necks...atreyu did it for the duo during ''lip gloss and black'' and i was mighty impressed, but i dunno if its easy or its hard and they made it look easy.

[mbibby]

Someone at my school can play that intro from sweet child o mine behind his neck, the "someone" is an annoying prick though

[Seanx101]

I've never actually tried and Lip gloss and black is a kick ass song

[Colonel_Rule]

I've never tried it....until now lol

[Seanx101]

I just tried it and it wasn't that hard

[intermission]

Ah so it was showmanship as opposed to greatness, fair enough it looked cool i guess thats all that matters!

[Seanx101]

Did they do it during the intro because i love the intro to that song

[intermission]

nah...the duo part near the end, about 3.25 in on the song.

the place went mad for the intro of lip gloss and black! for no reason, i shall say the biggest pops of the night in a wrestling fan boy way


1. lip gloss and black
2.start to ''slit wrist theroy'' by 36cf
3 undertaker entrance....i mean when lead singer of 36cf did a senton into the crowd during ''end of august''


funnily enough the 2nd band called chidous....did actually come out to the old undertaker music! i slightly marked out

[Seanx101]

Where was this

[intermission]

Brixton...

[Colonel_Rule]

I just tried it and it wasn't that hard
To do it well or just to do it?

[mbibby]

[Seanx101]

Yeah i know that one it's quite good

[Seanx101]

Doe anyone here use guitar Pro? I downloaded it yesterday and it's helped me learn alot

[Colonel_Rule]

No i don't.

[Seanx101]

You should download it at their website and go to ultimate guitar.com and download tabs for it

[Colonel_Rule]

I might do sometime.

[mbibby]

I have self tought myself so far about guitar but I am getting guitar lessons off a professional starting next week woo! :D

[Colonel_Rule]

Good for you Matt. I've been going to my teacher for 3 years.

[Seanx101]

I used to have my teacher at school at school but i quit

[mbibby]

Good for you Matt. I've been going to my teacher for 3 years.

Indeed. Still waiting for Distortion pedal ._. but got a free 20ft Lead for their inconvenience so not bad :p

[Carnage]

Hey guys! can anyone give me link of a software whick clears the concept of guitar basic chords for a new learner......

[Colonel_Rule]

Sorry i don't know of any. Just buy a book or dvd from a shop.

[Schmier666]

Hey, cool to see that there are so many guitar players in here. I'm also playing for about 5 years or so. I even were in a band, but I did the vocals. Maybe I'm going to upload some of our stuff, if our drummer can give me the videos from our gigs.

[Colonel_Rule]

Cool i'd like to hear/see this. I've never been in a band and i can't really be arsed to join one.

[cyclone2k]

You can't be arsed to do anything!

[Colonel_Rule]

Sure i can. I just make it very obvious what i can't be arsed to do...which is quite a lot.
