Van halan. Hey 06sc500, The stones are still going on world tours,Beatles broke up etc. The who have not done anything in a long time.
That's true, but I'm willing to bet that the Beatles accomplished more in a decade then the Stones have in four decades, if you look at how each band has influenced music.
Rolling Stones-this is all personal style and taste, but when you compare them to the Beatles or even the Who, they aren't much.
If you want to sound like Santana, go with an electric.
Go to musiciansfriend.com and check out the Ibanez, ESP, and Kramer models, in addition to a few of the Epiphones.
Agreed. That is definitely the right track. I've been playing for years and, like a lot of people I know, real understanding of theory eludes me. A lot of us play it because it sounds "right" and have some exposure to theory. What I'd love to get out of this forum is "when I play GCD you should solo on this scale". I've always done that by ear. I've never "understood" my way around the fret board just sort of "heard" my way around. Does this make sense?
Anyhow, I'm glad Per decided to put this section up and I'm equally glad your moderating it. I'll be looking in often.
Same exact thign with me, I understand a little bit of theory, but I make my way around the fretboard by ear.
Hi 06sc500
I think wev'e been here before..
I guess it's sorta nice asking fellowing Chordians to help name that tune.
But I must say how on earth can anyone suggest a name without hearing the piece.
My advice to you is record it then ask the same question.
Sorry if this appears negative to you.
No doubt some will suggest names but without hearing the music it's all meaningless.

No, I understand what you're saying, very true. However, I'm just seeing if anyone had ny ideas that I could play with, or just opinions on my own ideas. You're right though, and hopefully I'll eventually get a recording of it, but this may take a while. thanks guys
Hey guys, I'm working on my 2nd instrumental piece (my first one still has some finisfing touches and revisions to be made). Just wanted to share some name ideas, please give your opinions. I was thinking of "Final Sunrise". The song has somewhat of an "epic" sound to it, sort of like a Dragonforce song, only without the ridiculous shredding (I can't play that fast). It's also very minor sounding, and it's in drop-D tuning. If anyone has any other ideas please feel free to share them. It may take a while, but I would like to eventually get some recordings of these on Youtube or soemthing. Thanks
It depends on where you're going to use it and your budget. If you're going to be playing in your basement you don't need anything more than 30 or 45 watts.
What does the fretboard radius of a guitar mean?
Learn the five major scale patterns, and the five minor scale patterns, and practice them relentlessly. Once your left hand is straightened out, work on your right. Play those scales using all kinds of different picking techniques.
What are the five scale patterns?
Being a self-taught guitarist, I can be quite stubborn when it comes to trying what others say. However, I realize tht my playing is in a bit of a rut, due to some basics I never learned. From the day I learned to read tab all I've done is learn riffs and intros, and parts of solos. I know lots of open and basic bar chords as well. Here are some of the things that are holding me back from improving: 1. I never learned any scales (apart from the basic open major and minor), and though I've searched for the answer, I'm clueless as to how they're obtained. 2. This is really only a problem on really fast stuff on my electric-I only can downpick, alternate picking baffles me. As of right now, if I learned a little more theory, I could be a decent rythym or accompaniment player, but I want to learn some lead stuff. Can anyone help me with my playing?
The thing is, most of the music by The Who seems to have more of an emphasis on piano, synths, and vocals than guitars. So really Pete Townsend is more of an accompanimist when it comes to the band. Does he have any solo work?
Whatever guitar suits the guitarist!
Speed comes from the skill of the player so the type, make, model and set-up of the guitar will be what that particular guitarist is comfortable with.

I understand that most of the speed lies within the ability of the player, however if you pick up, say, a cheap Les Paul or Strat, and then maybe an Ibanez, there's a noticeable difference in speed. Maybe I worded the question wrong-what brand guitar has the fastest neck?
What brand of guitar is considered to be the fastest playing? I've read that Ibanez guitars are quite fast, as well as ESP and Kramer. My Danelectro actually has a faster and flatter neck than some cheap Strats I've played.
Whenever I see a list of "top ten guitarists" or the like I always see Carlos Santana's name there. What is it about him that makes him such a respected guitarist? I've listened to a decent number of his songs, and none of them have that amazing of guitar playing on them. I mean, he does have a cool sound, and "Black Magic Woman" has some pretty good riffs, but why is he so popular in the world of guitar playing? Also, what about Pete Townsend? The only decent solo I've heard of his is on "Join Together". Sure, Pinball Wizard is some pretty sweet strumming, and there're some cool riffs and stuff on other songs, but why is he held in such high ranks as a guitarist? I would personally stick someone like Chuck Berry or George Harrison on a list before these guys. Is it just a matter of personal taste, or is there something I'm missing?
Is there a guitar effect that can make it sound like a piano or keyboard?
I haven't played either one a whole lot. . .but to my knowledge, the LP is more suited to classic rock and blues, while the SG is more for hard rock and metal.
Smoke on the Water, Iron Man, Heat of the Moment, Cocaine, Back in Black, Sunshine of Your Love, Lonely is the Night, Baba O'Reilly (Teenage Wasteland), Round 'N Round, Bang Your Head (Metal Health), Slow Ride, Come On Feel the Noise, No One Like You, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Dani California, Blue Collar Man (Long Nights), and these are most of the ones I know. Of course, pretty much any style of rythym guitar will use power chords, so check out rythym parts to some songs from bands like AC/DC and Lynyrd Skynyrd. All the ones I mentioned above are probably playable for a begginer. Good luck!
looking for chords for folk song Holy ground
I know two "Holy Grounds", both are in our praise song book at church. Tell me how the lyrics go so I can tell you which one it is, unless it's neither of these ones. I can get you chords if it's one of the two I know.
e 10 h 13 p 10 10 13 15 13 12 10
B 10 h 13 13 13
G
D
A
E
It's just a variation of the intro riff, just up way higher on the fretboard. The 15 on the high e string is actually a 1-step bend of the 13th fret, but unless you have really light strings, good luck with that. Have fun!
My bad, I apparently missed the other thread. . .
Angus and Malcom Young
The term "shredding" generally refers to metal, however I would consider Eric Johnson in this category. Just watch him play the live version of Cliffs of Dover, and there's my point. More along the lines of metal, Herman Li of Dragonforce might be tossed into the mix, though he's probably not as good as some of the ones you mentioned. . .
For electric, I'd reccomend anything by Eric Johnson, especially Cliffs of Dover. They are quite difficult, but well worth it.
For acoustic, I'd reccomend learning the songs on the Eric Clapton Unplugged album. Actually, I'd highly recommend buying a copy of Guitar Tab White Pages. I have volume one, which has lots of good stuff, and a huge variety. Of course, most of the tabs here on Chordie are pretty accurate.
Black Lighthouse isn't bad. . .if you're playing hard rock, I'd suggest Giant Killer Duckbilled Palatapusses of Death. Get someone to play the death metal bag pipes and you're good to go!
