wow.. seems like almost everyone here is a shredder of some sort...


i prefer melodic and slower stuff from incubus and rhcp

speed or melody, thats the question?
 
i prefer melody. but, training yourself with such 'agility' can help, perhaps next time u wanna make song or whatever. then can apply lo. lol i guess? :)
 
Great! Keep practising u guys n i dare say u ll improve..For me :
1)I like to hear from classical to more heavy metal stuff including blues too!
2)My influence on my band original song is mostly mix of classical melodic heavy metal stuff..imagine a combination of bands such as dreamtheatre, metallica , BB King up to old classical music from Mozart n Beethoven..

my style:well i tried to shred till a few months back and then i saw steve vai live and it changed my life...seeing him live is a diff thing...got convinced that shredding is just a practice tool....so started trying to develop my own style...which is easier said that done for less experienced guys like me...

i am self taught and have very less knowledge of music theory...so i would rate myself 6 on 10....just made my first composition will try and post it up soon(ps how do i do that??)

peace,love and good happiness and stuff-sid

Practice Practice Practice

Hello to all,

Just keep practising. You can do it. I'm a left hander but I play right handed guitar. I took 2 years to learn how to strum properly. It was really really difficult. Been playing for 6 yrs now.

Just keep practicing. You can do it.
 
Influences - AFI, I Killed The Prom Queen, Shotpointblank, Walls of Jericho, Death By Stereo, Killswitch Engage, From Autumn To Ashes, Most Precious Blood, A Perfect Murder, Evergreen Terrace, Unearth, Hatebreed, Bleeding Through, Champion, Norma Jean, Zao, Comeback Kid, Norma Jean, Nodes of Ranvier, Hopesfall, Fear Before The March of Flames, Throwdown, Floorpunch, Poison The Well... and some of the old school stuff, like Madball, Agnostic Front, Terror, Cro-Mags, Gorilla Biscuits, Redemption 87, Minor Threat, Black Flag.... Way too many to name. All music I love influences me in one way or another, and even though Hardcore music is my passion, I like loads of other musicians from genres as far-ranging as Punk, Screamo, Folk, Psychobilly, Electronica, EBM, Industrial and New Wave. Even Beatles, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan. All have had an influence in the way I play and write music.

Styles I Play - Hardcore, Metalcore, Grindcore, Thrash, Punk

How Long I've Played - Hard to say. I've played since I was 14 but it's been on and off over the years depending on how busy I am.

My age - 22

My level - Not a fan of rating myself. The way I see it, the closer you rate yourself to a perfect 10, the less you have for room to improve. Uhmm, I guess I'm ok at the guitar though I go through most days thinking I'm very bad at it. But decent enough for performance level I suppose. I also write quite alot of music, studied music theory from the age of 3 - 15 and can play most songs I want so far.

my influences probably span along the times from the 50s - present time.

Style: hehe! varied. sometimes i like to use open chords, sometimes barre chords, depends on which songs and how are we going to play them (acoustic version? slow version? just as normal?). mostly rock and blues, but also with a touch of the early 60s' beat.

But now I have to take up lead playing because our lead guitarist left the band due to study commitments. my lead playing isn't that good, but at least i'm able to remember what i am SUPPOSED to remember. one thing i hate is cocking up jamming a familiar song.
