I am a big fan of Insomnium, destroy destroy destory, Amon Amarth... is that the kind of thing you are looking for? But generally speaking my fav bands are: Arch Enemy Devildriver Lamb of God In Flames Trivium Killswitch Children Of Bodom Opeth Tool
I have had this pickup in the bridge of my main guitar for a good year but it was recently replaced by a different pickup. The dominion is a good pickup... However its low output and high mids is questionable in a metal context. I feel it is required! to have an over drive pedal and a high gain...
I was once an owner of this amp, fuse blew at the back once but they are nice and put a spare inside the amp which makes life easy! This amp doesnt quite go loud enough for band prac (I am referring to heavy metal, its a dark terror...) But as for bedroom prac/recording its a brilliant little...
Haha emphisis on the "thin" part of the coin thing, here in australia our five cent peice is about the thickness of a drivers licence but with the whole global factor I suppose recommending a coin could give pretty inconsistant results. (excuse any spelling mistakes, im lazy)
Everything I have tried from the RGD range destroys everything else period. I have bought 2500$ prestige guitars and all I can say is the 600$ RGD's I have bought just yeah are better! In every way. If your looking for a new 7 that will "get the job done" get an RGD7421. But with the options you...
Good action is about 2mm maybe a bit more. Yes there should always be a bit of bow, if you push down the first fret and the 12th fret a thin coin should be able to slip through the gap. The nut gets overlooked a bit with these problems but if you havent messed with it, it should be fine. Other...
I really don't beleive in babying people too much, you have google and you should do a search and then compare infomation to see if it matches. However because I have seen wrong infomation out there I will recommend "Advanced FretPro" for learning scales, its free software that you can download...
Also dont be fooled into thinking that theory is the only way to make music. Some of the most advanced students of music theory are unable whack out a master peice. Song writting is a skill in its self that takes practise and no amount of theory will allow you to bypass that.
As for the common tricks involved with song writting, its best to download a tab of a song you like, chuck it in guitar pro and see what everyone else is doing. Try figure out why certain things sound good, youll notice people break the rules and certain things just make no sense! But eventually...
I'll try help and keep it short and to the point. scale = grouping of notes that sound good together mode = flavour of the sound e.g. minor is sad =( know the genre you like (i like metal) then know the scales commonly used in that genre for metal its Minor, Pentantonic, Harmonic minor, Phygian...
AHH DD's are horrible haha, honestly havent tried BKP Blackhawks but they look like another high output passive... I think the dimarzio D-activator would be worth a go, however I can say I have tried HEAPS of pickups and my pref for a relativly high output pickup for bridge is the Michael Amott...
(ignore any spelling mistakes disclaimer, im lazy) Umm not sure if I agree with the above. I beleive you will get better results from a longer scale neck if down tuning, which allows you to use thinner strings not the other way around, a shorter neck will require thicker strings. That being said...
As the title says my name is Damus. I actually joined this forum 3 years ago but have been more of a reader than a poster so my activity is quite low. I am in a Sydney metal band called Bloodletter and I have been playing for about 5 years. Our band has an E.P. and has done several gigs in the...
Hi my name is Damus, I'm from sydney australia and I have been playing guitar for about a year and a half now and the seven string is the only way to go! I have a pretty basic learner sort of setup which consists of an Ibanez RG7321, Marshal MG10CD amp, Metal Zone MT2 pedal and Digital Delay...
