Guitar Player's Thread

Wow I didn't realize there was so many scallopers on the Bodom forum
Heres mine!


And Arvoitus, I'l get some pics for you soon.

 

Here's what I'm going to aim for.

He had nothing on the neck what so ever, sanded the paint off and that's it.

Many guitars are like this and guitar companies over tung-oil'd guitars. (carvin being one)

And termites? wtf?

Nice job.

I sort of one want to scallop 12-24 but I'm not sure.

 

Thank you sir!

And nice job on that scalloping lowberg. I'd never played a scalloped neck, i should try one soon.

 

Next June I will be quitting guitar, school, and music and playing this for the rest of my life

 

Do what you wish. It's your guitar anyway

 

do you have detach the neck from the body in order scallop frets 12-22?

 

Nah, you don't have to, But it just makes it easier to sand/work with. Plus it protects the rest of the guitar from banging/scratching into whatever work surface or table you might be doing it on.

I cant wait to go home for break on Friday. I will finally be able to play guitar loud and jam with my drummer.
Plus finish the forum album song.
Wish I had an active band and some shows lined up though

 

Fyi, Pm'd you earlier.

 

arvoitus: I took some high quality shots of the inside of my '88 GP-1000. I put them in a .rar because there's alot. I wanted to give you a variety because I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but I got the text on the transformer and all of the board close up.

Basically I agree, but don't they put a grain filler on the neck before they paint it? This would stay in the pores, even after stripping the neck, and would protect it a bit.

Ibanez Prestiges definitely have something on their neck... all in all I'd go with Leandro's advice, just to be sure.



By the way, I now have a major chip on the top of my Ibanez, pics will follow later. The straps of the gigbag snapped.

 

damn thats always sad to hear

 

ouch, I'm sorry to hear that Corny.


Have you guys ever noticed how tight Iced Earth was in their early days? I mean the playing is literally very tight.

this is bad quality, but fast forward to around 3:00 to get the feel for their earlier stuff.

those triplets just make me go daaaamn. feels good to listen to.


oh, and I much prefer this first vocalist to the one they have now. I don't see why people say this guy sucks.

 

Hahaha the beginning vocals are great

Wow the triplets are awesome.

 

I know, doesn't it make you feel like, "fuck, I want to play that RIGHT NOW!"

 

It makes me feel like that, but I dno if I'd be able to. I tried that Sylosis song, and god damn that is difficult. It's REALLY fun to play though, so I might practice it a bit, 'cause it'd be worth it to nail it completely.

 

yeah, I doubt many of us can play those triplets that tightly. which Sylosis song are you working on?

 

Ahh you could and surely mitch.Mine would be so muddy

 

@Corny: Sad to read that but weren't the straps already a bit torn before it happened?

@Mystique & Warheart: I've tabbed some parts of "Teras", actually the ones he shows in a video. I'm not sure of the chord at the 21nd bar though. And about triplets, just have a listen to "Stormrider" from "Alive in Athens"!

By the way, question of English vocabulary, I never know which of those are called triplets:



Both are 3 notes per beat but the first ones each last 1/3 of beat and the second ones are 16th-16th-8th notes. And how do you call 6 notes per beat?

 

Insane Iced earth triplets
Guitars start at like 1:30
This made my hand fall off once

 

^holy cow...
