Where is the head banging emoticon? :fro:
Damn. That was jammin.
Howetzer realizes how slow he is on the guitar uuug.
nice!
:goodjob2:
Excellence!
You rock!
Gotta love a guy who's got such dexterous fingers.
:wink:
You can jam with me any time! (drummer)
As an aspiring guitar player, how the hell did you become that fast and fluent?

that was crazy fast and virtuosic man, awesome!
I think I'm in love O_O
F'n sweet man. A couple questions...
How many hours do you usually spend a day playing?
Have you ever played in a LD and what was it like?
How long have you ben playing?
As a guitarist of around 6 years it always frustrates me when i see people who haven't been playing a long as me fly around the fretboard like that :P I know it's not everything and i know i'm a good writer, but damn it would be nice to have that skill.
But, as you say, it's practise and that's something i haven't been very good with in the past.
Well anyway, great work! As somebody said the quality isn't fantastic, but you can still tell you know what you're doing :bowdown:
man i tell you the video was a fluke. I been going on must be 7 years off and on. i just got a guitar and amp after not having one for a few months.
Just practice scales and your favorite songs. break the solo's up into mini excercises and last but most importnant METRONOME.
and ophelia, you have good taste in men!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6VgNUbqhiD4 new video. not as speedy tho!

oh man. i lost the honors because a bunch of fuctards gave shitty ratings.
Shit hot man. :cooler:
A little wierd seeing Mozart played on the electric guitar!
I wonder how much harder in general it is to play a classical piano piece on the guitar.
I'm thinking if it's even possible to play faster pieces Like Chopin's Revolutionary Etude :)
thanks a lot guys. if you have a yuotube account remember to rate. because i don't deserve shit ratings!
I actually seen a tab for the etude. but i wouldn't attempt it. i mean CARPEL TUNNEL!
I'm thinking of doing a bach pice next. maybe a small concerto.
oh hell yeah, I vote for Bach
my favorite is his Cello Suite #1...I've heard it on classical guitar before and it's simply breath-taking IMHO
For Shawna
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JElBaTqwZY8
thats pretty impressive. i have no idea how you remember all the cords and stuff like that w/o messing up. i enjoyed the video :goodjob2:
Wow....
I just now noticed this thread.
You are totally awesome! I've always appreciated a good guitarist. And you are GOOD.
(Kinda makes me want to pull my dusty old guitar out of the closet and give it one more try.)
Niiiiice. :goodjob2:Quote:

Very pretty :)Quote:

sorry bout the crotch shots and the blips and bleeps. but as bill cosby once said "Bleeble Blabble!" :roll:
:o
Holy God.
You're unbelievable.
Not a fan of christmas music but that was amazing.
The Shawna piece was so beautiful.

Damn good man. How long have you been playing? It takes a lot to impress me i have pretty high standards especially when it comes to music. Ive been a drummer for 8 years. Its hard to find people to play with around here that can keep up with me. Quit my last band because of it. Wish you were closer.
well i started when i was 14 and i'm almost 22 so that's 7-8 years!!!! wow i never realised i been playing that long!
always nice to find a good drummer. i started learning while playing along to cd's and backing tracks so i always keep good pace!
Symphony X - out of the ashes (intro)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpSkPmUbI6M
a lot of work went into this under a minute part.
Well you sure as hell play some fast metal.
Not my sytle, but I guess you're skills are pretty darn good.

Once again, great work man! Seeing as you're familiar with Symphony X, can you play the Smoke and Mirrors intro sweeps? If so then :bowdown:
i dunno that's a tough one! i can't even play the damntation game intro. need to work on string skipping.
Master of Puppets....
all I can say is...
:smitten:
I've heard better guitar playing, but not on youtube (I like to search for "guitar" or "bass" and watch the 14-year-olds make fools of themselves haha) =D nice work, it's good to see somebody who isn't famous and who doesn't suck on youtube :-P I'd like to hear some more classical stuff personally, I love classical music done over in metal/guitarish stuff.
As far as playing classical music on modern instruments, I gotta say that in my experience classical instruments are much harder, but it depends if you're going to play both the accompaniment and the lead at the same time, or just the melody like he did with the mozart.
I learned to tap moonlight sonata on bass after playing for like 6 months, but I guess I had a head start on bass since I've had 15 years of trumpet playing before that :yumdumdoodledum: Anyhow nice work man, keep it up!
The Nevershining stones
http://youtube.com/watch?v=pv7RgjkNjRE a bit different that what i usually do!
thought I'd give my guitar thread a jump start again.
Black sheep by sonata arctica. audio only. I'll buy a webcam tomorrow
http://rapidshare.com/files/21080911...ack_1.mp3.html
Daaamn, that was tight.
Nice job, man. :bowdown:
thanks bro! feels good to be playing guitar for you folk again. you should see the smile on my face!
I already posted a comment about this in your journal. But this deserves two comments. :-P
You are just too good. I can't imagine playing like that.
Awesome!
Yeah, ranma! This is all fucking sweet. You got something going for you - why haven't you joined a band and gotten famous yet? :P
Thanks again. well, can you imagine that you can imagine playing like that? and of course you'll be able to play like that some day if you keep at it! you got me, O, and CB to help you along the way :bigteeth:Quote:

Then nevershining stones_ Wuthering Heights
I'm REALLLY embarrased to post this with singing lol. the mic is shit, but i think i do ok!
Lyrics: Here I am, can you feel me breathing
In the rhythm of the world I'm in
Reaching out I caress the trees
While the sun revolves above me
Teh air is so rich I can almost drink it
Dance like a fay twixt tree and stream so cold
The true philosopher's stones
Never shall turn nothing into gold
Now they tell me I must lay me down
Once more they'll lock they door
But of leaves of green my pillow is
And free I'll disppear in the thicket
The tru philosopher's stones
Never shall turn nothing into gold
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm searching for the nevershining stones
And the man in white say I can't hear the birds
singing
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm closer to the everlasting truth
And the man in white says I can't hear them
The wealth of mine is not like thine of gold shining
Tree and leaf my treasures are
Living like me, and dying
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm searching for the nevershining stones
And the man in white say I can't hear the birds
singing
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm closer to the everlasting truth
And the man in white says I can't hear them
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm searching for the nevershining stones
And the man in white, and the man in white
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm closer to the everlasting truth
And the man in white says I can't hear them
Now I'm here behind rubber walls
And they tell me my forest never was at all
Not in a thousand years
Was it the drugs they gave to calm me
Or something into my mind through generations fed
And it it's all gone only a collective memory
Are we then dead
Is this the kingdom of the mad
That last song there was pretty good. The levels in it could use some tweaks though.
I'm guessing that was an original piece. And you shouldn't be embarassed about singing, cuz you pulled it off well.

I'd love to hear it recorded better. But your talent still shines through the way it is.
:bravo:
hey again, TS! I sound much better at karaoke. My cousins friend has a video cam. perhaps for a few bucks i could get him to video tape some, and put it on youtube.

well do you have any suggestions? I had a free storage site, but now you gotta pay to dl from it. errr!
I go to www.soundclick.com, very easy to use.
I found soudclick harder to use!
so it takes an extra minute or so to download, so what....

Ok is rapidshare bnot working or something? I checked that site CB and it's confusing to upload. can anyone suggest a better site to upload songs to?
I've been enjoying listening to some of your songs again. :)
So when are we going to get to see the videos of you singing karaoke? :bigteeth:
Haha, soundclick is very easy, you just go to your band administration and click 'add new songs', then select the file from your documents and so on and so forth. The cool thing about them is that people can listen to it and you end up going on charts and can see how high you go.
what a pleasant suprise. thanks for the comments!
I'll have to go visit my cousin. he has a cam. That or i could save up and buy one. That might be a while too. I'll get a webcam soon and make some more vids.
Well, as long as you don't forget. :P
I finally got a webcam!!!!

Hey, I just found this. Don't take this 'the wrong way' but, I'm a lot more impressed than I thought I'd be. You're a damn good guitarist. Nice work. One of the bands I played drums in had a guitarist like you. His favorite style is like that of your Gnome song (or whatever, I forget the name right now - the second one in your first post: http://www.musicv2.com/download.php?id=14863 ) so, I got to play with some one in your skill class and let me tell you, that's some fun stuff. I certainly don't claim to be there but, whenever I've played with musicians who are better than I am I always ended up becoming a better player in my own rights.
Some one like you has the ability to carry a band and make the other members better players than they ever were. Keep up the awesome playing; You're very talented.
Oh, are you playing along with the original bands' album on the covers or did you record background tracks, too?
What did you do to the video? It says: "This video has been removed by the user. " :pQuote:

You're just having a field day, ranma. :D
haha yeah!. It's my turn to spam youtube.
Wooo! I'm gonna keep up-to-date with this thread, that's for sure! I always wanted to get round to playing my guitar like that; how did you learn? Self-taught or tutored?
self taught! for about 7 years or so
Awesome :3 Thanks for introducing me to Yngwie too; my ambition has been to compose popular/classical crossover stuff for electric and traditional instruments for ages, so he's amazing to listen to ;)
yeah! the only problem is he gets repdative after a while. Also check out Ozielzihno. search that on youtube!. he's also amazing!
These are incredible!!
It's fun to listen to you, but even better to actually see you as you play. You go so fast I wonder how it's even possible.
And do you have those all memorized? I mean those are long pieces. I have no idea how you do what you do---but it is amazing. :shock:
:bowdown:

As for the memory thing. Yes, i memorise all of that stuff. I joined a band years ago and the leader said my brain is like a sponge - it soaks up riffs like crazy. it's easy for me to do. I play small pasrts of the songs over and over until i know it. then i connect it all together.
It's good that you have a good practice technique like that; I'm a pianist mainly, and I find it extremely hard to concentrate on doing just one segment at a time; it drives me crazy :P I guess if I'm ever gonna learn that Malmsteen, I'm gonna have to practice those arpeggios like crazy-slow though ;D
Yeah I'm working on his demon driver aprs. they are insane. If you like keyboard listen to some of the samples on www.anderssonmusic.com . he does malmsteen type lead on keyboard. he's crazy.

No. That's bullshit. I've been playing longer than you, and NOT off and on as you describe it. Why do I suck!?Quote:

well what works for me may not work for you.my brother has been playing longer than me and he still can't play worth shit either. I also don't smoke dope so that might have something to do with it because my brother is permafried.
When i was in high school i had a friend who was 16. he could play pantera like you wouldn't fucking believe. he did the solo's spot on and everything. later on he was a major pot head and did coke. Now i play way better than hecan. he lost pretty much all his skill.
moral of the story: permafried people should give up on muscal ability.
I haven't done drugs in four years.
Maybe I'm just born to suck.
I just bought a Tradition guitar for 500$ and a Vox amp for 300 and a distortion petal. So at least I'll play badly on good equipment. :-\

Nicely played, man! :goodjob:
I love the part around 3:30!
And I just saw that you posted a vid of playing Ken's theme song from SF2. ...You know...I started learning Ryu's theme at right around the same time that vid was posted!! :O That's fuckin crazy. If I ever get comfortable enough with playing it (because I'm definitely not yet), I'll post it.
Thanks dude! you have a guitar youtube video right? what's you youtube name?
I'm Cognizant1 on youtube.
I've got a couple of them up. They are all pretty amateurish, but not too bad. :wink:
That's very pretty!
I agree with O--that last part is incredible. Wow... :shock:
(YMO...I had never heard of them before...they're like Japanese techno?)
Yeah They were the first band to experiement with loops and stuff. They are pretty much the godfathers of techno!

GahDamn, man, that was fuckin sick! :happy:

I wish I could alternate pick that fast :( I can sweep alright, but... I can only alternate pick at like 140 bpm 16th notes. Can't seem to get past that mark.
What kinda music you into?
my alternate picking is pretty sloppy. That tempo is 140 i think. The first bar has 32nd notes and they are pretty damn blurry.
Well, just plain 32nd notes at 140 are hard for me :/ I doubt I can tremolo pick that fast.
I can't even do it. If you notice the first bar is pretty sloppy during the ascending lines.Quote:

Would you happen to have a tab for Bach's Brandenburg Concerto 3? I really need to work on my right hand, and that seems like the perfect thing for it. Plus, Bach is just awesome. And that last one you posted, too?
sure. i no longer have the tab for brand # 3 i think i just imported a midi into guitar pro and worked out the positioning of the notes. The same i did with sinfonia to cantata. but yeah I will PM you the tab to sinfonia to cantata.
jason becker is too nuts lol. I Barely touch his stuff. Maybe after i get my guitar fixed and some better pickups. Becker is the shit tho. it's a shame he got ALS. his composition skills are right up there with J.S. Bach. Just listen to his song Air it's like hearing toccatta and fugue in d minor for the first time all over again.
Ranma, you have some good chops man. That classical stuff sounds really nice, my teacher wants me to start working on some bach stuff, but I'm always to busy.
Where'd you get the backing track for cliffs of dover? I've wanted to learn that song for a while.

here's another bach one.
ranma are fucking awsome, i dont understand how you can move your fingers that fast, and in your hands in sync with each other, its just amazing. and i also never understand how your guitar sounds like that, what kind of things have you got for it, distortion or some other type of effects? because i have nothing but an amp, and i dont know how to make it sound cool, or are you just doing pinch harmonics or what (which i find impossible)
Wow
That is just awesome!
I don't know whether or not I am inspired to pick up the guitar and practice, or just throw it at the wall. lol ;)
Very nice ranma!
Thaks man. As for speed. strenth in wrist. I Took time on my recent stunt,I played guitar at least 3 hours a day doing nothing but learning songs witha metronome. Guitar pro (which you can get a real decent copy with torrent) has a wicked loop trainer. Just highlight a few bars in a song and work your way up. you can set the percentage of the tempo increase.Quote:

I take a break. go back set it to about 60% and increase by 1 or 2% percent each loop. i wash rinse and repeat until i can play it at 100% or more.
Durig these sessions i pay attention to syncing my right and left hand. I also make sure that my timing is on the beat. i sometimes count in my head "1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 etc" as I'm playing so if I'm playing triplets my playing wil be like "1,da,da,2,da,da,3,da,da,4,da,da".
after doing that evfery day for a few weeks i had to stp because my wrist started to hurt. But hat's fine because it's getting stronger. Make sure it's a song or alick that you really enjoy playing.
as for effect's i have a line 6 pod 2. and also I put it through a metalzone pedal at the sametime. I just mess wit the nobs and the bttons until i get the sound i like. this sounds good through a half decent amp. but most of the time it's through my computer on headphones.
as for pitch harmonics look up Paul gilbert pitch harmoics on youtube. i think he has a video explaining it well.
hope this helps.
wow thanks a lot man, that actually helped a lot. i have been told that i should try doing the whole start slow thing, but i didnt think it actually works, but now i know thats how you did it, that should give me a bit of confidence.
i do already have guitar pro, and have been looking for a tempo changing button, but i cant find it, where is it?
and will those effects things you have give you any sound you want, or would there be any other stuff i would need?
p.s. sorry for hijacking the thread
I really want to learn some classical shit. I can do some classical stuff, and I really like fingerpicking. Do you have a website with notation on this stuff? Not tabs. Tabs make me throw up a little in my mouth.
slash it's the button with twoarows circling with eachoter. fiddle with it to figure out how it works.
I only read tabs some guy. sorry.
oh yea, thanks ranma.
someguy, whats wrong with tabs, they are like the best thing in the world, they are the easiest things to read, unlike that other crap you get. but on guitar pro that other crap is on it aswell as tabs by the way, above the tab there is a load of stuff i dont understand, but i think its what your looking for.
i'm so use to tabs after 10 years of guitar i can pretty much sight read them if it's a chord progression.

here's more of a Hi-fi demo version of the same concerto. done with a batter backing
Tabs have no rythm. You can't compose with them.
well they kinda do, but if you have guitar pro then you can compose easy with it.Quote:

I assume that first one was mirrored, surely you cant play that good left-handed aswell.
Keep shredding :boogie:
