I'm right there with ya, bro. Haha. I love keeping the fretboard free of inlays, save for two dots on the 12th or so. This is very exciting news though! I love the guitars!
I sit here now in my Necrophagist hoody and it was FINE news to see, as I am getting ever closer to purchasing my first seven-string guitar as well. Haha. I really do feel as if I need a good Ibanez 7 to perfect my sweeps and articulation. :shred: Thanks for the heads-up! It took mohammed quite...
I'll be latin dancing.:agreed: Then I'll listen to Floods, Cemetary Gates, Hollow, and then I will proceed to slaughtering my fattest goat in Dime's name. :hbang: Haha... Just kidding about the goat guys. Latin dancing was great though!:fawk: I'm sure Dime did something like that with Miss...
Wow! Absynth is excellent! I love the mp3 samples. Thank you very much for suggesting this! I'll consider the the aforementioned list of equipment from smueske as well. My understanding is that a keyboard is a must-have. Haha. I will certainly get on that! :flame:
If you can skip rope, then do it. It's easy to break a sweat and good for the legs (not so much for the knees unless you've got good shoes), and also good for the wrists and forearms. Decent shit man. I usually don't have time for treadmills and elipticals before working out, so this works...
Hey, is anyone familiar with how Dave Suzuki (Vital Remains) creates such mindblowing harmonies and vibrato? I love his sound... Does he actually use some kind of harmonizing effect for live performance or does he recording a lead part in one octave, and layer the same lead part one octave above...
I haven't learned how to use one yet, but it was very intriguing to watch acoustic finger-pickers like Andrew White make use of this. I even remember seeing someone use a thumb pick for metal, but I can't remember who it was... It was some jazz metal band... I really need to start playing...
Stephan Forte of Adagio had a LAG (France) custom-made 7-string with 27 frets. Google search "Stephan Forte" and you should find his official website. He's got pictures and specs, which you might want to look at. (Sorry for not being able to get the website for you. I'm in the middle of a...
Thanks a lot for the ideas, guys! I'll be sure to research all of this. I've got Ableton Live 5.2.1 right now on my laptop. I haven't had a chance to go into much depth with the software yet though. I just installed it today. Hopefully it has similar content to Ableton Live 6, but I haven't made...
Hey everyone, I need a few words of wisdom from whoever has the time to tell me a little bit about this sort of thing. I'm very interested in creating dark ambience (Lustmord, Visions, Kammarheit, Einheit, Pete Namlook, etc.) and I'm not sure what kind of equipment I would be looking at to...
Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions. :) I'd definitely be looking for a single coil pickup and I suppose I would have to arrange for the routing through a technician at the local shop. I'm not as nearly as much of a handy man as I should be. Maintaining an instrument is a lot of work.
Hey everybody, What kind of 7-string Middle pickup could you suggest to me? I'm in the middle of lining up some possible specs for a custom order. Thanks for the help. :metal:
Stench, what color are you able to get your RG1527 in? I fucking hate royal blue... :P When I talked to a guy at a music store in the summer he said that they also came in black, but I don't see any black online? Can any arrangements be made with Ibanez for a different color (perhaps with an...
Hey guys, I was wondering if most guitar companies will take custom orders over the phone (even international?). You see, I'm very new at this sevenstring business and I want to make sure I get exactly what I'm looking for. :) I would love to get custom order an ibanez or jackson, but I'm not...
I love their work. I just started listening to their I, Monarch material a few days ago. I've been a fan of Necrophagist, Cryptopsy, and Origin for about two years now and it was nice to hear this Tampa band. I never get tired of technical progressive death metal/grind. :hbang:
I'm looking around for someone who may have all (or even some) of the Nevermore files that were posted on mysongbook.com. It would be extremely helpful if someone could get in touch with me and send me the files. I would really appreciate it. :flame: Thank you very much!
