Holy shit, this site is the shit: http://www.guitarbt.com/

Sam

The links they have with them on there aren't loading the backing tracks for me.

Sam

Anyone know where I can get, or have any backing tracks I could upload to my mixer, and just lay solos over? Like a complete rhythm guitar, bass, and drums wav/mp3?

Sam

Hum a melody then try to duplicate that on your guitar. Unless you are brilliant on the guitar, you can't think about what you want to play then just play it on the fly. It takes some preperation. Right, I know what you mean. I tend to end my ideas fast, because I want people to hear it asap. But t...

Approach them a better way?

Sam

Learned pentatonics. Hell yes. So that's a total of three lessons so far. Here's my latest solo, so tell me if I'm progressing. Click this: http://www.painpurge.com/Solo.mp3 I'm also looking for advice, on techniques, and if you can tell me by listening where I'm sloppy, or what I should learn. Than...

Sam

Thanks guys, looks like it boils down to sssssssshows.

Sam

Thanks man, that's great, and I'll post it there. It's just that I'm looking for ways to keep us active in the real world, in our state, etc.

Sam

...can anyone please give some good pointers? Especially when things aren't happening for awhile, procrastination comes into play...what's some good ways to keep the band always happening, updating, etc. I was thinking keep booking shows. But lately since we lost our jam space, we haven't been getti...

Yeah man I never got it. Oh well, better late than never.

Sam

It makes me think...should I just dump everything from the past? As in, should you throw away all your old songs and riffs? That's a personal call. You'll always write better stuff the longer you play, so eventually your old stuff will become outdated (this is true for the first few years, at least...

You play guitar? Sweet. Got anything recorded you can upload?

Sam

...I'm starting to notice my solos are in an Ozzy/Jake Lee era sound. All I've learned was the minor key so far at lessons. No modes, modifications, pentatonics, etc. Since my next lesson isn't until Monday, and I'm jotting down questions to ask him, I'm wondering what I should ask him to teach me s...

Sam

That gave me no insight as to why you even posted in this thread. Try again.

Gay in what way...explain, so that all may know what's really going down.

Sam

Whoa, holy shit. First lessons back with a new instructor this past Monday and I know understand what I did not know for six years! The guitar, the fretboard, and staying in key knowing your scales! So he taught me A Minor/C Major and it's been a blast. It's Saturday now and I have it memorized! Ch...

From 1 lesson?

I've had three instructors in the past, but man, believe it or not, on this first one with this new dude, it just clicked. It's awesome.

Sam

Badass.

Sam

Not everyone is capable of figuring things out on their own. If it wasn't for this lesson, I don't know when I would've figured it out. This rules man, I'm having a blast writing now. My whole style of writing has changed. I no longer guess what notes to play, I know which ones!

Sam

I just need help developing speed. I can play scales, but I can't "shred" them that well or anything (I mostly play slow-ass "doomy"" solos). What i'm basically saying is I probably can't play the first 8 seconds of that mp3. This might sound dumb, but here's the truth. All...

Sam

Dude hit me up on AIM, or just ask here what you don't understand. I'll try and make it so that it comes as clear to you as day!

Oh hell yes man. God, now I want to help everyone who doesn't "get it" get it!

Thanks man, haha, I threw it together in like 20 seconds. I was just so amazed at what I finally understood!

Sam

I think I just figured out why you guys draw the HUGE crowds at your gigs. Hah, funny dude. It was a fucking Thursday, and this is our third show ever. We haven't played out, and the only people at every one of our shows, is friends and family. People have plans on Thursdays, let alone school, and ...

Fuck, I have to sign up.

Sam

I'm the singer you fucker. :lol: No I mean, Why don't you just stick to guitar playing and find a singer. I'm not trying to offend you or anything. Just a thought. I enjoy singing. I love hearing music (instrumentally) and just come up with vocal melodies, ideas, and layouts. It's fun, I really lik...

How's that going for you? There's a place abotu 8-10 minutes away from here that offers that. I want to so bad, but so much is going on and keeping me busy, that doing vocals would just close me up!

Sam

Can you read sheet music Sam-U-Am? ps-whats the painpurge bb addy? I took lessons to read sheet music last year, but left because of school. It was so boring. I wish I didn't have school. So I can't read it still. Here's the link to the site: http://www.painpurge.com You can get to the forums from ...

Sam

I could never read scale lessons out of a book because I never understood them. Last night he gave me the insight to bridge that gap. Looking back, I see the billions of books I bought that were never put to good use, now I can make use of them. Hell yeah.

Sam

Man they are going sweet. First one last night in over a year, and I learned a ton of awesome shit. I finally understand scales, and how you can play them anywhere in any key just by memorizing a pattern. He rules, and is into metal. Badass. I recommend you all who play guitar get a metal teacher. G...

Sam

Take lessons from a teacher into metal.

Sam

Fucking awesome. Gotta love guitars.

Sam

Guitar Center carries them.

Sam

Aren't you almost 30? Just put it down.

Sam

I said I knew most of that. Did I bother you enough to stick your nose in our assholes? Go commit suicide you dumb fuck. Out of my thread.

Sam

Thanks man, I know it didn't. This place is filled with musicians that suck the fat cock.
