QUOTE(plankton @ Jun 27 2006, 03:34 PM) Ernie Ball Strings seem to rust faster than the daddario n Boomers.. is it only me or the slinkies r known to rust quicker? Nope, I agree with you too. I like Ernie Ball Slinkies because they tend to sound brighter and more transparent to my ears but I just can't stand it when it turns black as quick as an hour!  I've read that there're strings that not only sound good but also withstand rust for a long period but they're not available here.  I used Stainless Steel strings once, it lasted quite long I think, but in the end it still rust. I don't think I liked the sound of them... couldn't really remember now. |

QUOTE(sean392 @ Jun 27 2006, 10:46 PM) how bout elixirs??? Not too sure, never tried them before, maybe I should.how does those perform??? heard their pretty pricey... 50 per pack? everdying, my Ernie Ball strings rust very fast... In order to slow down the process I have to clean it everyday... it doesn't happen when I use D'Addarios. Anyway I usually change my strings once every month. Sometimes 3 weeks +. Anyone heard of Wolfmother, a fairly new Aussie band? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKAfxzfGqEw&search=wolfmother Sounds like Sabbath + Purple + Zeppelin.  EDIT : QUOTE(+3kk! @ Jun 27 2006, 10:56 PM) i've been trying to nail ETB for a long time now, and i am still stuck at 61 bpm. Stay at the tempo where you could play it note perfect and slow work your way up, you know it's worth the time. the reason? for some weird cause i seem to play bloody lazy on it, make stupid mistakes....miss the string, miss the note, not comfortable playing....etc..e.tc but when i play at 70+ bpm and 80+ bpm i play a lot better and more comforable, mistakes are there but not stupid ones.........and it feels like i am actaully practicing this has been bugging me, i dont know to stick to 61 bpm and slowly work my way up or put it at 70 and slowly work me way from there This post has been edited by led_zep_freak: Jun 27 2006, 11:14 PM |

Yeah, they aren't really anything special but I love the way they put those bluesy riffs into good use. And that bassist have a killer bass tone.
Great homage to 70s rock imo, the songs are pretty catchy, I got hooked.  |

QUOTE(sean392 @ Jun 27 2006, 11:52 PM) man Once every 6/7 months is too long LOL! Once every other month's still ok, just cut down those cyber/yum cha sessions. if i change once a month i'd be flat broke i change all the strings once in 6-7 months when the high e string breaks if not, it stays... =/  Btw, if I change every 6-7 months, I won't get to play any guitar because I would probably break 3 of them by the 3rd month lol. |

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Jun 28 2006, 12:02 AM) the slower i go the sucker i become, i almost wanted to kill my self when i went to 40 bpm. That probably shows that your playing is sloppy when it's at normal tempo. its like my hands become bloody lazy and mistime everything! bah, timing/ rythem problem? Give it a little more time and practise at 40bpm, eventually you'ill nail it and ready to move on to 42/43bpm.  |

Wild get it When in La. will Check up the board when have more time Go for it man... QUOTE(+3kk! @ Jun 28 2006, 11:59 AM) i can play quite ok at normal tempo, its stupid mistakes that i get pissed off about. if its cause i didnt practice enough its ok, i've been stuck at 60 for a looooooong time. and always after 2 times perfect i make one real dumb one and i gottta start all over. Heh take it easy man, if you feel you're not progressing try something else and come back to it later. Don't forget that music should be something fun. |

QUOTE(echobrainproject @ Jun 28 2006, 08:13 PM) i think u have the same problem as i used to have(and maybe now still a tiny little). u've developed speed but not control. too much focus put on speed that it becomes like a sport. im assuming that when u pick up ur guitar and just improvise, that tempo is what u play. only playing at that tempo has become a habit right? i didnt realise i had that problem too until i started playing with more experienced musicians and they told me. mine's not so bad anymore coz they really did drill me making me play everything perfect at the speed they want. well i am sure uve heard it many times, but playing with a metronome is really one of the best ways. u can start byplaying chords. i know it sounds simple, but try strumming chords in perfect timing at a slow speed for a few minutes. record yourself and listen. u'll be surprised how much room there is to improve. Yup, I can't add anything more other than... you're right. Recording is a very good way to gauge how well you play to the tempto, just remember to be brutal to yourself when judging, even a slight timing mistake counts. You're the only judge here and if you let yourself go with simple mistakes, nobody else will pinpoint if for you. It's when I start recording that I realize how sloppy I am and how bad my sense of timing is, I'm just thankful that I started recording pretty early. |

Me too.
Usually in a band situation I would follow very closely to the drummer, if he screws up the timing, I have to follow too LOL! Anyway in my band my bassist is pretty much locked to the drummer and I usually give certain signals/eye contact when to end/quiet down etc... sometimes the vocalist would do the signal job, depending on which song we play.But yeah, if the drummer isn't playing on a certain part, I would usually tap my foot and headbang a little to keep the timing. I realize that at times your foottapping would be synced to the movement of your picking hand. So the tapping is gonna be confusing if you play some complex rhythm, hence the headbanging.

QUOTE(Bassix @ Jun 29 2006, 04:36 AM) in my opinion, playing to tracks can be easier than playing with a live band. Yup, totally agreed. Playing with a band and playing it live is very, very different from playing to backing tracks. Don't say wrong tempo, I've even played with ppl who plays in the wrong key! But all these adds to the fun of playing with a band... if you could get a few band members whom you could work well with (like nerd's family band), I suggest you stick with them no matter how bad they play lol, because they're very hard to come by. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(echobrainproject @ Jun 29 2006, 07:19 AM) well bassist and drummers go together(ok, it sounds wrong). in my former band, if the band practices 3 times a week, the bassist and drummer will spend another extra 2 days just the both of them to practice and nail things down tight. Wow, really??? What my band do is we would practise once every week before performance and the band would spend extra time talking crap. QUOTE(blacktrix @ Jun 29 2006, 09:07 AM) just checking in. I bought a Gibson SG guitar for only 69.99$! Only works with my ps2 though! ha ha ha! Guitar Hero Baby! |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jun 29 2006, 11:50 AM) oh... MAIDEN!!!! SLAYER and uhh iron maiden might be coming to singapore end of this yr.  Damn... why do they get the good stuff and all we get was Linkin Park!  QUOTE(Criptonox89 @ Jun 29 2006, 07:13 PM) btw....anybody here is going down to swee lee this coming saturday? what's ur aim?...... You're going??? QUOTE(TheWhacker @ Jun 29 2006, 08:28 PM) Yea, vocalist (who can sing) is very hard to come by. These days, people are aimming for those Malaysian Idol stuff and these kind of singers can't sing rock songs ..... hard to find those who have something like Steven Tyler;s voice. Do they even exist here in Malaysia?! |

Sweet Child O' Mine from Taylor's Musical Night, uploaded from my dad's cam. The original sound wasn't that bad, I recorded it from the cam using a cheapo mp4 player. Youtube made the quality worse, so it doesn't sound as bad as it seems at the end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzk7z1QGdyw I uploaded Ziggy Stardust too but can't play it yet : http://www.youtube.com/?v=DSuR7KukaWQ |

Yeah... it's a youtube stream, you don't get to download it.
If your connection is as slow as ours, pause it and let it load first. Ziggy Stardust vid still not working, darn. |

QUOTE(hydrogen @ Jul 2 2006, 04:10 PM) LedZep, cool links. thanks. Hope you enjoyed it. watch this my roommate's friends, performing at KLPAC. Both from Taiping. Band name: Silent Scenery, performing their own song. The song sounds alright I guess, still loading. Anyway I think they would look better with short hair lol, no offence. QUOTE(nerd @ Jul 2 2006, 07:55 PM) dude, that seems like a great gig! No no, the sound is alright, it's not THAT bad. The format conversion and Youtube screwed it up lol! although the sound was pretty screwed up, but i could hear and feel the energy from your playing Still waiting for the damned DVD, that one has decent sound I can assure you. Thx for viewing anyway. |

I have heard PAs which are much much worse in comparison. Though, for the money the club paid and the stuff they have, it should've sounded much better. Shows how screwed up the soundmen are.
