well, what you're doing is still good. exposing yourself and getting your music out there will help you find the right people to play it. good luck!

"The Happy Song" reminds me of the Flaming Lips or some band like that Catchy, ha! That metal song would sound pretty badass professionally recorded, cool riff.

I'm not into tats but the symmetry and the design is neat. Would I get it as a tat? No As long as you like it and are satisfied to wear it 'til you die, then far enough.

Mitch, Mick and Arcane, you should take part in that Dean Shredder Contest. I voted for the first 28 videos (out of 280) and my ears are bleeding.
I rated only two videos higher than "7" and these two don't even have backing tracks (just pure shred). With a good backing track, you'd have pretty good chances, I think (although I haven't heard the others yet).

Cool idea for a contest but I'll pass (please, not being humble or any of that bullshit, but I am not an original or amazing guitarist. You at least have a different dimension to your style with jazz).

Count me in! You're kind of my 2nd influence when it comes to guitar playing and guitar stuff in general. Alexi is my ''famous'' influence and then you're my ''of this earth'' influence, someone to whom I can talk and discuss with. Mostly because you've made me push myself quite a lot in terms of accuracy, practice and tone because when I listen to your recordings I'm like ''man I want that sound too!''. And actually I can (with loads of time) beacuse you don't record in a pro studio but in home with your computer like I do.

So yeah, count me in if you ever think of making a solo album/demo.

Now all the others can start flaming me for the ultra gay post,

Give it a go on the music shops and on the rehearshal places if there are some big ones in there with more rooms and many players wandering around. It's hard to get bandmates but it pays the price. Having a band is loads of fun.

Could be funny but If I would, I had no idea what to play and it's demotivating to know, that you can't be under the top 20 or so...

[children of COB]

I suggest you record Kantry's BT and leave out the lead track and then make a vid of you playing Kantry. I think it'd get you straight in the top 20.

Happy birthday Jason Becker.

I thought a might buy a mini marshall and take my cheapest guitar with me.

Bump

Okay: Who of you got the GP-1000 from ebay

[Corny]

Don't take anything to Wacken!! You won't lose your skills, but when you've seen all these bands on the big stages, you'll come home extremely inspired, trust me. It always worked for me, after Wacken, I was extremely motivated to play guitar and make it to the festival.

But this effect only occurs if you leave the guitar at home.

Also, festivals are so disgusting that you most probably will want to throw away everything you brought with you

Okay they're not that bad

But seriously, taking a guitar to Wacken is a pretty bad idea.

[Corny]

Small festivals are awesome and loads of fun.


...wait, where do you go?

Was that towards me?

I've gone to Arvika and Hultsfred in Sweden, probably two of the biggest festivals here. They pretty much have every different type of genre there, but i mostly go because of friends.

No it wasn't directed to you!

I remarked this because I claimed that small festivals are fun and than rembered that he goes to Wacken, the exact opposite of a small festival.

[Swabs]

Which of course means that Wacken isn't fun?

[Corny]

At least for me, but opinions tend to vary, don't they?

[the phenom]

I would say it varies from festival to festival. Not the size. I know i would always have more fun at the Tuska festival than that "all genre festival" where bodom played (Rockperry). And they're the same size.
