    How 8 string and 9 string guitars change the role of the bass player in metal.

    I live in an isolated area where it's pretty hard to find people. I play a seven string in Drop A through a regular 2x12 guitar cab and then add in a bass extension cab. Our other guitar player does so in Drop D through a regular half-stack. I think our sound is pretty full, especially because...

    I cant stand playing 6 strings.

    I still play my six string acoustic just fine. Maybe it's cuz I learned on it.

    Does a Girl have to have similar tastes in music as you?

    My girlfriend has what most people here would I'm sure consider better musical taste than I do. She's into Metallica, Pantera, Lamb of God, while I'm into stuff like Tool and NIN.

    Do you play rather alone or with a co-player, in a band?

    I prefer to write alone and collaborate later, and as I'm a rhythm/vocals kinda guy, i don't mind having a lead player there to back me up but it's not necessary. I actually prefer keys to a lead guitar though.

    How many "shredders"?

    I would not say that lacking the ability to shred means you can't play rhythm.

    What's the most ignorant thing YOU'VE said to anyone about music?

    In a drunken fit one time, I was going on and on about how no rock band today would have existed without Van Halen.

    Now generally I'm not a mean guy, but...

    Just submitted my demo to Earache records!

    I lolled at the hot pockets sample "Why so stupid? You not hungry for girl, you hungry for hotpocket!!" I was gonna suggest that, if you're passionate about your music and convinced of it's quality, that you should go the independent route. But this is entirely the level of quality in music...

    Just gave my first lesson

    When I took guitar lessons, I didn't even truly understand how to keep time for a year and a half. So that's a good start. Play with your students. You'll know what they need to learn.

    Changing styles without selling out??

    I love Katatonia's new stuff, especially The Great Cold Distance and am eagerly awaiting them to do another. The older stuff will always be classic in my mind, but I just no longer find myself wanting to listen to 6-7 minute long pieces that repeat the same thing over and over again with...

    New Alice in chains album soon!!

    Some people are too quick to say "oh, they have no right to call themselves that." It's their name to do what they want with. Mike Starr left the band, and Layne is dead. Unfortunate as it is, Layne's death means that Jerry Cantrell inherited the creative force behind the band, and it's their...

    Hi, Nick from Vinculum Terminatii here (melodic doom act from Rhode Island)

    You may want to change the text of the link to say the name of the band, at least that's what i was looking for not a genre name.

    I'm in a non-practicing "church band". Read this.

    A jazz guitarist would probably say you should be able to improv over A, E, D, A, F#, E in your sleep. Some of the working guitarists I know show up to the show without having practiced at all. Some guys play the same 15 songs over and over again and no longer really need to practice them. Then...
