Well.. My drummer and I tried our best to educate him already.


Come on, he has been playing for 3 years+ and he can't even play the solo from smoke on the water properly.

Does Punk Rock even HAVE solos?

Man, I've been listening to Sanctity, and they're solos alone is worth the price of admission.

reminds me of a time this sh!tface "guitarist" comes around talking big and all so i asked him
"hey you look pretty good man so like you can play solos?"

then he said
"of course la.. i can play damn a lot, some quite hard but i also play la"

then i said
"hard? like what songs?"

then he said
"wake me up when september ends, boulevard of broken dreams......"

i didnt hear the rest, i just laughed at him and walked off

That's why everyone should learn at LEAST one show off solo piece........

I'm still struggling the last solo for Sweet Child..... so I guess my show off piece is Mama I'm Coming Home

the ULTIMATE SHOW OFF SONG!

SPEED KILLS! (with the Hands Without Shadows Stuff)

Heads WILL Roll. . .

LOL

they wont even roll cuz they'll just disintegrate.
i guess my show off solo is erm.. lamb of god - laid to rest intro riff ?
or does that not count?
nvm soon to be everytime i die >=)

Another guitar myth......

BlackTriX is a Damn good guitar player

practice makes perfect. The biggest myth of all.

The more you practice the more you'll realise what you can't do. Then you realise how sucky you actually are . I hate practice

Just crapping PRACTICE!!!

Dumbest Myth #938719283 : Do not wank or watch porn around your guitar. Guitar strings will loosen and you'll destroy it's tone.

Hmmmmmm. Unloco obviously must have tried it......

Another dumb guitar myth........

You MUST have long finger nails to play....

Absolutely the opposite!

at least he looks like one

Did you know PRS guitars aren't "handmade"... not since 1995 when they started using expensive CNC machines to make the bodies. Even their inlays aren't abalone since maybe 1-2 year after that.

I've done quite a bit of research on high-end guitars 'coz believe it or not, at one point I actually wanted to invest in collectable guitars. My target was PRS 37 and 75... Heck, even my BSc thesis was on e-business in the guitar industry (I got honours =D).

So anyway, Myth: PRS is handmade.

OMG, you serious man??

well, handmade or handfinished
PRS im sure final touches like improving feel are done by hand.
something that no MIC or MIK will ever do.
likewise for gibson, also those gibsons with ebony boards have to be fretted by hand and not machine.

Playing guitar will get groupies!

Never seen one also.

you must rub oil onto your fretboard, so, you can have faster left hand movements

a myth? a fact? hehe

Not really.It just facilitate your fingers.What about picking accuracy?Nothing can help apart from hard practicing.

he : xiao ah u, wan my fingers to spoil?

- the 4 string thing that looks like a guitar is a guitar. ( i got this also, not really a guitar myth but i thought id share it)

me: dude, heard you learning guitar ah

chap: ya, 4 string one

me: there aint no 4 string guitars lar

chap: *insisting tone* got lar. 4 string one, duno lar but its an electric guitar

- chiqs dig guitar players.

heck ive been playing for 4 years ( tho not good) i still havent get a damn chiq. my mate who has been a geek his damn life got one faster then me.

- theory stuns your creativity

this is the biggest wtf, normally said by people who play powers and forget everything else.

- hotel califonia is one of the hardest damn guitar songs ever. just play that damn intro and people would look at you like gods
