Can YOU Headbang and play guitar at the same time?

[Mr. S]

yeah i can but im still getting the hang of wind milling, i seem to recall falling over during a gig last year due to thinking it was a good idea, much to the amusement of everyone in my band and the audience

I'll have to keep working on that one

 

[intereo_luuk]

yep

 

[klutvott]

YouTube - born aggressive

I think i can.

 

[DevinShidaker]

yes. Playing metal whilst not headbanging is false, and may result in cancellation.

Also let it be known to all that wide angle lenses make fat guitarists look even fatter...

What I'm wondering if there is some sort of writing on this subject. Like "Proper Head Banging Technique while Playing guitar." I wonder what would be the best exersices for increasing endurance/fretboard acuracy while head banging??

 

[Emperoff]

Now that I cut my hair, I guess it doesn't count as headbanging

 

[metalfiend666]

Yes I can. Having hair down to your waist makes it look very cool too, especially stood on stage next to Mr 7 Dying Trees.

If you mean headbanging, then yes. Just practice the parts whilst headbanging, make sure you get one look at the fretboard per revolution of said head, and it's a sneaky way of fret watching while still moving your head around like a mofo.

Says the man who told his Ibanez rep he wanted his LACS with a reversed headstock so he wouldn't get his hair caught in the tuning pegs so badly

Supply windmilling videos at once to prove this

Try the Cradle of Filth "Peace Through Superior Firepower" dvd

 

[cow 7 sig]

[Espaul]

I do mi bangin wih mi whole body

 

[Unknown Doodl3.2]

yeah I can headbang while playing on stage. That's when I'm not singing though! =\ I also love to the pull the pat o brien, that is... just stay there with al the hair covering your face and most of you guitar haha that's what I do to keep stage presence up when I can't headbang anymore or if I get dizzy.

 

[7deadlysins666]

Windmills take practice!!! I can headbang during most solos, but usually during solos I stare at the crowd with my "domination mode" look.....really gets them screaming when they realise im not looking at my guitar at all. hahaha.

Hell, I headbang at practice! Its like a Habbit!!!

 

[WarriorOfMetal]

yes

it's a semi-recent discovery that i'm capable of windmilling while playing, though.....but it depends a lot on the exact part being played and an intimate knowledge of the song and having it deeply engrained in my muscle memory.

What do you think I'm referring to?

I'm merely giving him hell




I just thought of actually doing windmills while playing funeral doom

hm....maybe if you spent some time with a Van Der Graff generator beforehand, you could get your hair to stay in the air for long enough

with Withersoul, there are parts where it could. you just have to find the right ones. it can be a useful counting aid at times, too.

In "Forever" and "Descent" it's possible, but most of the time the staring off into space doomy foot stomp thing works better



[action=*]you should drive down to Charlottesville tommorow night, no excuses, there will be doom [/action]
