    RIP Sun Caged

    I doubt anyone will see this, but you were a great band. I've got posts on here from 2006, when I was 14 years old. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Back then I was just learning to record shitty "shred" clips, and now I've got an album out on Nightmare Records. Sun Caged was a huge influence...

    'Closing In' riff

    The part with the harmonics... 7th and 5th fret... ---------77-55------- ------77-------55---- ---77-----------55--- -77--------------55-- ----------------------- ----------------------- ...How the hell do you pick that cleanly??? I mean, there's not even a technique it should...

    Hey guys... rate my 14 minute power-prog song!

    http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=326465 :D Frost pt II. I'll still be making some minor changes to it for awhile probably, but I think it sounds good considering the conditions it was made under. I wrote, arranged, recorded and produced it all in an apartment. So anyway...

    New Beyond Twilight album (is going to KICK ASS) (I hope)

    There's an interview online with Finn Zierler here about it: http://www.antenna.nu/beyondtwilight/interview1.php You can compare the structure to reading a book, watching a movie or as a complex story with a lot of emotions being told in form of music. Some of the key pieces are repeated...

    New Evergrey album (is going to suck)

    http://www.evergrey.net MONDAY MORNING APOCALYPSE. Wtf? Sounds like an emo band. Yet Recreation Day was one of my favorite albums, so I was looking forward to this all the same. Then they posted the samples.... The riffs are generic BS and there's absolutely nothing interesting musically...

    Any keyboard players here?

    I'm working on a pretty heavy progressive metal song, all that's left to do is bass, some mixing, and I have to add some more sampled strings. Anyway in the middle I have a guitar solo in 7/4--then a pause--then a planned 8-measure keyboard solo in 5/4. I'll send you a low-quality mp3 (I'm on...

    Keyboard solos

    What's the deal with the sounds keyboardists use for their solos? It seems no matter how well they can play, the solos never sound as cool as guitar solos (as far as actual SOUND, not phrasing, speed, etc.) Aren't there any good patches out there?

    Everon

    My new favorite band! Anyone heard of them? While not having that much technical skill really, the songwriting is brilliant! I think overall I actually like them more than Symphony X. :hypno:

    14-year old guitar player

    http://www.soundclick.com/util/streamM3U.m3u?ID=2288379&q=Lo Written, programmed and guitarred by me. I'm concerned about the production, how can I get some clearer distortion? I have about $90 right now. What's the cheapest amp out there with CLARITY? This is really annoying me.
