Guitar Player's Thread

[Pђoenix]

Yeah I can see what you mean with his vibrato, little control but still I like the song. I've never seen anything like that before with the frets, that's really cool, the sustain is just astounding.



Edit:WTF?!! I fucking hate the cunts on ebay who don't honour the transaction. I managed to get a Laney GH50L For £160.99 and sent a guy an email confirming a pickup date: he didn't reply. So its been 2 weeks and still no reply, but today I found out the fucker re-listed it for £160 B.I.N 2days after I won it in a fair auction! Fucks sake, I just wanna hunt this fucker down and rip off his face arrrrrghhhh!

Sorry I just had to vent anyone else experienced shit like this? Oh the sellers name is gizz1923 avoid this twat.

ah but see, attention to detail is the key to success imo. If you look at like 80-90% of these super shredders, all use the hyperextended thumb technique excluding paul gilbert. its kind of process of elimination that this is the most efficient technique for shredding.

bleh, its a great guitar, but i donno, its going to sell for way too much because of fanboi.

[children of COB]

well,Jari sell it for 2000 euros,and the original price is 2700 if I remember right,so it's not that bad if it really has only been used in studio and that.

Do you people know these special frets to keep the guitar in tune ALWAYS?

[<-Warheart->]

So I just got back from The Black Crusade tour at The Carling Academy, Brixton, UK.

Lineup:
• Shadows Fall
• Arch Enemy
• Dragonforce
• Trivium
• Machine Head


All went well. I managed to get my friend downstairs even though he had an upstairs seating ticket which I told him would work but he wouldn't believe me.

Saw Frédéric Leclercq (bass) and Dave Mackintosh (drums) from Dragonforce standing outside have a cigarette while we were queuing up which was cool. I don't think anyone even recognised them 'cause noone was really paying attention to their presence. There were some girls standing LITERALLY a meter away and they were facing the other way like "duh, r der any uva playerz in DF apart from herman ri and samantha totman duh". Oh well, I would have gone over and said hello if it was ZP Theart, Angela Gossow or Michael Amott.


Shadows Fall:

We weren't too fussed about this band so we just stood at the back and watched until they were done and moved down during their last song so I could see...


Arch Enemy:

Who were awesome. Opened with "Blood On Our Hands", also played "Enemy Within", "Nemesis", "My Apocalypse" and "We Will Rise". Nothing more to really say about these guys except that they were unsuprisingly badass.


Dragonforce:

I'm going to say something which none of you will expect....Dragonforce were fuckin' awesome. Me and my other buddy were expecting shitty sound, shitty mixing etc etc. Vocals were more than perfect, drums were robotic, guitar tone was great and they both played really well. Considering how much I bitch about DF live, this is saying alot. I really, really enjoyed them. I still ZP is one of the best frontmen in metal right now. Awesome dude and incredible vocalist. Overall, they sounded better to me than that video of TtFaF that I uploaded on YouTube, it was that good.

Easily my favourite performance of the night. I'm definitely going back to see them when they tour here again.

Their setlist was:

Fury Of The Storm
Operation Ground And Pound
Starfire
Valley Of The Damned
Through The Fire And Flames


Trivium:

Again, these guys played really well too. I practically stood still through the first 3 songs though 'cause I think the stuff from "The Crusade" is shit, boring and way too "pop-ish" for me to like. "Gunshot..." was crazy though, I screamed for that one.

I think they must have played another one or two off "The Crusade" 'cause I was just like..."errr..." for a few and then it was "Rain" which I love and obviously finished with "Pull Harder..."

Their setlist was something like (might not be in order):

To The Rats
Entrance of the Conflagration
Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation
The Decieved
Rain
Becoming the Dragon
Anthem (We Are the Fire)
Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr

I got my mate into these. I gave him a CD of all these bands and he liked Trivium the most. After tonight, he likes them even more. I even got him to get himself a shirt because I could tell he really wanted it, he just didn't want to pay £20.


Machine (Fucking) Head:

I didn't really wanna see MH because I don't really like their music. I don't mind Imperium which they played and also Davidian is ok. But the rest of it, I just was looking around, waiting for time to go by. Rob Flynn seemed to be enjoying himself though. He got some guy up on stage because he was their the night before and never managed to catch a drink thrown from the stage so he took Colin (this guy) up and just gave him one. The crowd also nearly took the roof off when Dimebag Darrel was mentioned.


Overall, definitely worth the £30 or whatever it was. Didn't get stabbed in Brixton, didn't break my nose, loose anything or get locked out of the house so I'm cool. All I have to say now is bring on Children Of Bodom.

[The Emptier]

wtf a jem7v? stock price is about 2200, 2000 euros= roughly 2900 USD am i wrong here?

[Altitudes]

Sounds great Mitch! I've heard Daragonforce uses ProTools, perhaps that is why the sound was so good? Trivium and Shadows Fall are alright, but I bet Arch Enemy and Dragonforce stole the show.

[The Emptier]

im really anxious to hear alexi's tone with the new Kranks

I dont think he uses Kranks on the album. He just used one for GH album.Let me add too: He has had that Krank for ages!!!...It was on the news of MusaMaailma last year that Roope and Alexi went into the store and bought 2 Krank 100w tube heads because they liked them so much. Still they have not used them. Im just curious how it will sound without the gainboost and with active pickup instead...i hope it will give him a more ballsier n' kickass tone! And if you want to hear Alexi's Krank tone just listen to Guitar heroes album. Oh and i think its interesting to see there was a KK marshall on the studio pics...definetly something new on there!

EDIT:I can't link you the news that alexi had a Krank long ago since its removed from the site(It was in the summer of 2006 i think or autumn)

Aye, I've seen "the force" live twice, and they put on a brilliant show both times. So tbh their reputation of being "shit live", from my experience, isn't warranted.

Well to me, all the live vids on youtube were bad, playing wise and everything else but this was different. When I saw them at Download, I wasn't too close so I can't really blame them completely for the sound since it's not up to them to mix either but yeah, they've definitely improved alot.

[OvSeth]

I'm not a big fan of Dragonforce, but it's nice to hear that they cleaned up their act.

My high E string just broke, I have to go get new strings .

I saw them at tuska this year too. Even though i didn't/don't like them they were amazingly entertaining and fuck...those guys got energy no doubt. Herman seemed to have gotten his sweeping up to scratch too

About dragonforce, glad you had a great time, but i can't really see how they actually could pull it off, every "instructional" vid i've seen of them, showcases both sloppy playing and just a general bad attitude, but i'm probably wrong, since you're practically famous for bashing sloppyness

Ahhhhh, I thought it said NIKKI.

But yeah, DF did pull it off. I was even satisfied with Sam's playing that night too.

second thing about sound cards is that most of them produced for out put purpeses the input usually crap, low sensitivity low spectrum low what ever and how ever you want to call it that causes shity sound results.
now days i am using onboard sound card for gaming and movies its some stock7.1 crap

for home use and recordings I couldn't ask for more in the price range.



new neck or fretboard wont ruin your guitar its just that i doubt you will manage to sit it in the correct spot.
i am not sure how you are going to strip the fretboard off your neck and glue a new one but if your skills are good enough good luck.
don't forget to show us the results of your work.
the other thing is that even if you do find a replacement neck with the same holes where neck and body joins, most likely your intonation of the entire fretboard will be incorrect.
the thing in guitar is no matter what scale length you choose its the way the length is divided.
the 12th fret is always in the middle between nut and the bridge
the 24th fret is always in the middle between the 12th fret and the bridge
so what you would have to do is to make sure your new neck will sit in the correct spot to preserve this rules. elsewise you can forget it intonation being correct.

other thing you can do is to continue the fret board on your body the upper frets will be harder to access. i have never saw nor heard any one doing so so you might be the first one. and again provide with some pics when you done.

and the last thing do your research on this website i gave you before and google it up some more info about it and you will know how much it is possible or not possible.
EVERYTHING is possible the only question is are YOU able to do it or not.

forget it my rr3 is beautiful for now atleast...

[Swabs]

I've just found out that my guitar has arrived, but my parents aren't letting me have it until Xmas Which is bullshit tbh, I payed for half of it.



Just as a reminder, it's this one:

Yay! I'm glad it went all fine and that you had a lot of fun, this is important.


And the next time we're gonna meet... I hope we can get to go to a show like that together, that would be nice.

Thank you for clarifying that By the way, I listened to your song not too long ago
