~Leskows~ Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I've decided to really challenge myself. I'm trying to learn 25 Or 6 To 4 by Chicago ALL the way through. solo, fills, everything. I have a feeling I'll give up.That's a great song. Really good guitar playing.Don't give up on it, though. You'll get it with enough practice.And now that you've mentioned this song, I'm probably going to end up learning it, myself. Btw, "Castles Made of Sand" by Jimi Hendrix is a great song for guitarists.Well at the moment i'm having trouble getting past the second fill xD Quote "On a trip to Cirrus Minor, saw a crater in the sunA thousand miles of moonlight later..." -Pink Floyd, Cirrus Minor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-One- Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 My New Year's Resolution was to learn all 20 minutes of All of the Above by Structures (I know it's technically an EP, but it flows well enough that it could be one song). It was going all well and good, and I learned Departure easily enough, but then I realized I couldn't find tabs for any other songs on the EP.

Slyph 1 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Project is DONE. Mostly.It plays kinda well. However it has a problem with the B string actually being closer to the fretboard than what it's supposed to be, and I don't know how to raise the string height on a Floyd Rose... I don't even think it's possible, either. D:Other than that, it plays okay, tuning's a pain in the butt because I didn't modify the neck that I got for a Floyd Rose nut... It sounds alright. A little too bright for my tastes, but I can fix that later down the line by getting a different pickup for it... I MIGHT try for an EMG. I'm not sure, but I'll see when I get there. Another funny thing. The volume control doesn't work. I used a 250K control because I didn't want to use the 500k push-pull, and the 500k regular that I had didn't fit in any of the control holes. I wired it up, plugged it in, and it plays... But the volume now works kinda like a treble bleed or a signal choke of some sort. When I roll the volume down it cuts out some of the treble but it's still pretty much on. I think it's probably because the volume control doesn't have enough ohms to cut the signal off fully, so it's on all the time. Sometime in the future I'll correct that... Or maybe experiment with wiring and add two volumes, and make a switch that allows for the individual coils of a humbucker to be adjusted in volume with the two volumes. Basically, roll down the volume slightly on the coil closer to the neck and it sounds brighter, vice versa, etc., etc.. TL;DR plays okay, could be better. Quote "Slyph Squadron, engaging."

Toa Erulehto Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm borrowing my brother's black Squire Strat, but I'm planning on getting a Martin backpacking guitar soon.I'm also learning the charango, which is like a ukulele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xinlo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) I just learned Megadeth's 'Sweating Bullets' all the way through, and while it's not a very hard song, it feels good to get a whole solo down again. I haven't bothered with solos since last summer... that makes 8 solos I can play, 2 of which are pretty pathetic, and another 2 of which are only secondary solos...I need to practice more lol.Also I have a problem with the joints of my pinkie finger: if I stretch it too far, it locks and is seriously painful to unlock, making it extremely difficult to play most solos. Does anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it?EDIT: Waaaaaay late (sorry) but yes, Icicle, I do plan to give it the extra frets. many songs I play wouldn't work without them. My woodwork class has been building boxes (so exciting) for the first few weeks, but we should be done within the week, so I'm hoping to start on this thing very soon. Probably after spring break.

-One- Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 So, I got my first 8-string about a week ago, and I couldn't be happier. I set it up in Drop Eb, and it slays.I love it. It's a custom Agile Septor Elite 828, with a 28.625" scale, maple fretboard, flame top, a Hipshot bridge, and Duncan Blackouts.

AkakuBen Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 OH MY GOODNESS! There's a guitar thread! Pretty sure I'm not reviving unnecessarily, considering it's fairly new.I love that blue guitar, btw... I'm stuck with a black strat (which was my first real guitar ) and a black Ovation Celebrity. any of you guys have an Ovation? Good sound, a little oddly shaped, but some of the best I've played...

Xinlo Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I love Ovations. Would buy ine for myself if I didn't already have a perfectly awesome acoustic haha.

vataki Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ovations are really nice, but honestly if I had the money, I'd choose a Martin over any other Acoustic guitar ever made. Quote naw man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
