    Symphony X live in London - March 2011

    Well I never said that they didn't sound good but somehow the setlist could have been better organised. I was talking about tunes like In the Dragon's Den, Sea of Lies, Out of the Ashes, Smoke and Mirrors. I prefer that rather than 8 min songs.

    Symphony X live in London - March 2011

    I've seen this show a couple of days ago. Great musicians but boring show (my oppinion). I used to go crazy with their albums Divine Wings of Tragedy and Twilight in Olympus. They opened with "Of Sins and Shadows" which was great but every tune after that was 10 min long, mid or slow tempo and...

    Stuck on understanding modes again - help!

    You are right but you should really think of a mode relative to the chord when improvising. For example if you're playing Dm7, you should think of D Dorian rather than C major even though they are the same scales. That way you're building your melody lines acording to your new root (D in this...

    Finally finished a song

    Very cool man. Guitars sound great. Actually overall sound is great. The only thing that didn't match my tase is the snare drum. Sounds like too much compressed but still great job.

    Need help with Amplitube

    What program do you use for the recording? If it's Sonar or Cubase make sure you click the little speaker button on the track (something like direct monitoring). Of course Amplitube must be assigned to that track

    Best compositional program?

    Any DAW can do it. Sonar, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, Pro Tools ... Any of these can playback midi instruments and you can program anything in there. If you're talking about guitar then Guitar Pro is the way to go. You can also program another instruments there. If you're talking about a high end...

    How to improve my alternate picking...?

    AP is my favorite technique. When I was much younger I couldn't really figure out how Malmsteen sounds so tasty and clean. Then later I found that he's actually not using pure alternate picking. True AP players at the time (even nowadays) were Paul Gilbert and Vinnie Moore. I used to have an old...

    Anyone ever had periods where they feel useless on guitar?

    I am having that period right now after 27 years of playing. I guess it's just a phase that we all go through several times. Inspiration comes and goes, that's normal.
