INFLUENCES
im a big music freak, my ipod is like booming 24/7. i mainly like powerpop, pop punk, starting line, cute is what we aim for,panic! at the disco type of songs. im looking for a band that suits my genre.

so,thats a little abt me.
 
it's more suited to metal you mean? not really.. with correct tweaking, you can get it to play almost any genre.. i can do metal, old rock and blues on this axe. nothing wrong so far.
 
What? rg350 cannot play FATA? You gotta be kidding me.

I heard a series/parallel mod with a push/pull vol pot on an RG at G77 that Beez was working on the other day. Pulled to parallel, it sounded like a really hi-gain strat. You might wanna try that one out.

plus u have that single coil in there for those lighter indiesh type songs.

but i don't find the single coil satisfatory enough though. very weak, not much punch to it. and the buzzing is very bad too.

cos duncan's so young and i'm so oleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *sob*

duncan - before you learn to play fast...have you mastered the art of playing slow yet?

:twisted:
 
learn to play slowwwwwwww. which is what i'm doing now. tried to get fast too fast, picked up alot of bad habits. now have to correct them. as how to get fast, get a metronome. try playing to the beat of the metronome. most people would recommend you to play chromatics. while i'm a firm believer in chromatics, it does have some bad points. namely1) you would only be fast in chromatics and 2) you don't get to build up your chops.
 
A metronome is a mechanical device that's used to mark time by means of regularly recurring ticks or flashes at adjustable intervals.
You can purchase a metronome separately, or sometimes it comes with the multiefxs.

I don't know how to define chops. Chops are chops la!
Something like riffs, like a sequence that you play.
People usually go, "Wow, that's some good chops you have there!"

Chromatics are exercises that goes 1,2,3,4, up and down. Anywhere on the fingerboard. Do correct me if I unknowingly made a mistake.
 
r u senior citizen ?
