    Bulb - New pretty and clean song, probably for OMNOM (Axefx cleans!)

    Love the chords and progression. Sounds like a cinematic soundscape and some post rock stuff. Kinda like the music you'd hear when the sun comes up after the apocalypse in a movie and the hero is standing holding a half burnt teddy bear waiting for his daughter and the credits start to roll...

    Is the 8-string all hype?

    Personally I think its a great instrument. I'm trying to incorporate it in my band. My approach to it is pretty simple: transpose my riffs down and go chugga chugga for choruses and for the verses and bridge I use the Chapman Stick method of tapping out Chords and melody. Its a toughie: but...

    What got you into music?

    Mom and Dad were always playing musical instruments at home: keys, harmonica. They encouraged me to play the keys. I got "into" music when dad gave me a dance compilation cassette. I enjoyed the high energy dance beats. Loved pop music all the way to 1996-97. Then my cousin gifted me a...

    Weird Chord Progressions

    No, your english does not suck. Thanks for that explanation. I should definitely study some chord voicings and substitutions. I still play by ear and go with "what sounds best". Thats why I can't really analyse my tunes. But reading all the analysis you people gave has made me want to read...

    Weird Chord Progressions

    Ah sweet !! I'm gonna have to read those slowly and digest what you guys interpreted. Thanks so much for the analysis. Thanks Jake, I didn't quite know how the Diminished chord acted as a flat 7th. I should read on substitutions and such. Wow this is interesting. I'm gonna go home and try the...

    Allan Holdsworth

    Just the fact that people from all walks of life look up to him from John Mclaughlin to Eddie Van Halen and Vai and Satch should tell you the monster player he is. I like his music. Took a long while to get used to, and even now its a bit out there, but his lines and his playing are quite...

    Anybody try the george bellas cd-rom instructionals?

    I did purchase one off E-bay. That was the 4 string sweep lessons. You get a booklet and a CD-ROM. The booklet has the notes and exercises and the CD-ROM has him playing them. There is little instruction, but again it more like: Here's lick 1, here it is faster, here is lick #2, here it is...

    Tim Miller (for the Holdsworth fans!)

    Interesting that someone should mention Tim, I was jsut listening to his CD Trio in my car as I was driving. Yes, very Holdsworth-ish. The chords are very reminiscnet of Holdsworth. And he certainly does have the chops.

    Just saw Metallica (1/27) Here is my review

    Saw them in DC. Very tight. It was really a great show. They played the old stuff: Master, Battery and pulled it off really well. :hbang:

    Weird Chord Progressions

    I was playing with the idea of ii-V-I when late at night this just happened. Its got some weird chords and a weird progression, but it seems to work. I wasn't looking to make it weird, but just came to be. Anyone ever have those experiences ? So I recorded it: Music Page look for Memories...

    Hardest chords to learn

    Some of the chords John Stowell uses are just finger bendingly painful

    Slippery pick?

    I follow what Dimebag used to do: I take my all my gator picks and serrate one side of it with a knife. I make the serrations deep enough so I can feel the grooves. I've never had problems since and its become second nature for me at this point to serrate every pick I have. I hold the...

    Question on Web Design

    Update: I found out that this can be done using Javascript ! So at the end of it, you really just have one HTML page, but the tabs and content are controlled by JS. So the end user sees, in my page, one static left column with a pic of the band and some description, the audio player plays...

    Question on Web Design

    How do I do that ? I tried the PHP include option, but it did reload the page and my player went back to the start of the song .... I put the header in a diff html and the body in a different. The header contained the player, but when I changed the body, the header was reset as well. I'm not...

    Art Metal (Eklundh/Hellborg/Shakti content)

    I thought that was an excellent offering. I liked that album quite a bit. Love the riffs he has there and the percussion is quite something else.

    Question on Web Design

    Hi: I know there are some power developers out there so I have a simple question. In my web design (for an EPK) I want to have a music player (flash based) playing while the person visiting the website can scroll through different links (bio / pics / tour dates etc). I dont want the player...
