This thred has gotten me interested again to get the ol Guit-fiddle out and learn to play properly.
That's the only one I know. And by know I mean I can get by.Stretch said:If you can rip Cliffs of Dover, kudos to you sir. That one kicked my ass back in the day. Now, 15 years later I can barely link chords together. Quit playing in high school and kind of regret it.
Sacrament, though ashes is a very close second.muddinmetal said:As the Palaces Burn here
That's a nice set there!poolman said:Don't play guitar but played drums since I was a kid. My 9 year old playing some!
Check out Lambchopper678 on Youtube, look through his vids. He has awesome covers of just about every good song from Lamb of God, Pantera, In Flames, Black Label Society, etc. Can help when learning. Vid below.Beerj said:Sacrament, though ashes is a very close second.
Beerj said:Music to my ears, literally. Those triplets are tough. Seems like he missed some in some parts but maybe they're not there and I just play them anyway. Can't say I'm too impressed with his WWMIH cover but he nailed the solo so that helps. I'm half tempted to link to one of my tool covers but I'm not the most confident when it comes to "playing" for other people, even if it has been on the interwebs for a few years now.
TacomaJD said:I had you figured to be pretty badass, and I was right. I am but a minute fraction of that skill level. My main problems, I rarely learn a whole song all the way through, only my favorite parts. I also haven't done it enough to be disciplined playing in time. I just fawk around and play fun stuff that sounds cool (to me) for about an hour, then put it down and don't look at it again for another couple months lol. I don't make enough time for it to hone my skills.
This is some amatuer farting around I recorded a couple years ago after just buying the Halberd. Made up riffs, nothing technical, just kinda what I like playing. Played through a small Line 6 Spider III amp, I have just good enough equipment to fart around with, nothing more.

Beerj said:Sounds like what I play when I mess around too. Drop D is definitely where it's at.
I spend a LOT of time playing other peoples music. If anything, I'm a good copycat. Lol. Some of it transitions to things I come up with but I guess they call that "inspiration".
TacomaJD said:Exactly. That Halberd is/was my first metal guitar. Fixed bridge, active CAP pickups, and DR 10-50 gauge strings I believe. It's fun to play, not the best compared to some out there, but I bought it as a new factory reject for like $350 and couldn't find a flaw on it. I dabble in simpler songs like Chevelle. Closure is a fun song to play. I never play along with the song, because I never can tune to Drop C (I think it is) good enough. Or maybe it's Drop B? I know it's pretty low. Lol need to learn a little more about tuning down to something other than drop D.
