i went to a buddie shouse the other day, bout two weeks ago, and we were sitting there, and hes like, hey ill do drums, you play guitar.

I said i had no idea how to play, but he said its in drop d, just cover the bottom two strings together.

bonus points if it is

A) song of storms
or
B) flying battery zone

download a midi off the internet, and load it into your programs. change one or two notes, and select different instruments than the original

bump the bpm up 1 or 2.

there you go, you just invented a new melody

so far what I've tried to do is create a reese. in songs I've listened to there seems to be several main effects used.

a "wobble" effect, at varying speeds. a lowpas filter, and stereo seperation, always used at the same time. stereo seperationa nd metalization. it seems like I need to have 3 or 4 instances of the reese open to pull of all this crazy shit

you know whats cooler than a vibrator that pump to deadmau5

sliced bread

this is the hole In my first bjra method. I found a way to solve the problem indirectly. leaving and coming back in a different state of mind gives you a chance of getting into a groove.

what is being in the groove anyways. I've been trying to understand this, and this is why I haven't posted a second audio recording yet. My goal is to figure out how to enter this state directly, and at will.

what is this elusive state where you sit down and "feel" your way through the song. where you just know what to do intuitively and there is not much interference from the thinking mind.

where you don't press through your song with grim determination, but with curiosity and ease. where your imagination flows out into your song. where you start working on a song, go "wow this sounds amazing", look at the clock, and 8 hours have passed without you realizing.

In my experience, I've had around 30-50 of these sessions, looking back. each time seems to be characterized by "no thought". I don't think much of anything at all. I'm completely focused on the sounds, and the feelings coming out of the speakers. I hear the melodies and ideas I want to include, and put them in, almost effortlessly.

I'm in this almost euphoric state. hours fly by without my noticing.

now the issue I've found is when I sit down and say "i need to get into this state". it doesn't work. it doesn't work in the slightest. when I think much of anything, i cant get into this state. some days, Ill sit down and I'll just enter it effortlessly. I'm trying to figure out why.

this brings me to my next point. if you are making a song without any thought, then doesn't that make you unable to criticize and improve your song? well, from what I've seen, no. you intuitively know what sounds good and bad.

the only way I can possibly describe this state, and how to get into it, is you have no thought, and you are completely focused, intensely focused on the music you are listening to right now, and the feelings it invokes within you. your mind is slienced. you hear melodies and cool new parts. you add them in.

if you think "I cant think" you are focused on your thoughts, and not on the music. being in the groove is almost a meditation. but instead of sitting there focusing on a flower, you focus on the music.

I highly suggest anyone who wants to try to understand and enter this state more easily, go read "the power of now" by eckeharte tolle, especially in audio book form.

this elusive state, or being in the groove, is what I'm going to try to understand more deeply and talk about in my next audio book. It truly is the most important aspect to making good music, hands down

lol this isnt a share. Im genuinely listening to this for ideas on how to possibly attempt to duplicate those kind of reese sounds

how would I even approach something like that. I get a reese. what effects do I put on it. how do i automate it

leave and come back later and see if i can make anything then.

if that doesnt work, do it again

I'm just trying to start shit

could I get some youtube links to these so caalled manly reeses you are talking about

Check out some Spor, Apex and Noisia for real Reese's.

I dont know about you, but you can keep your milk toast Spor, Apex and Noisia reeses. I prefer my reeses thouroughly man-ified :)

flame threads for the win.

this is where i open a new tab and browse porn

I did borrow a squire starter from a buddy today and it does sound slightly ugly to my ears

efore throwing down some money, I borrowed a cheapo squire strat fender guitar from a bddy and a crate guitar amp. I think its a 200 dollar guitar.

either way, I realize I don't need the amp.

I can plug the guitar right into my computer and proccess it with guitar rig 3.

the only issue I have with this guitar is a nasty fuzz, most likely because its plugged directly into my laptop.

nonetheless, Instead of a guitar and an amp, I now just need a guitar and an audio interface.

you guys are basicly saying I should go an play guitars and see which ones sound nice?

this here looks enticing

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ibanez-IJM21 -Mikro-Electric-Guitar-Jumpstart-Pack-50 0152-i1425848.gc

I actually played on this last night lol. sure quality may blow compared to a seperate guitar/ amp, but it should work fine for me.

my next question, is what program should I pick up to learn the guitar.

I want to get an electric guitar

I am still learning how to play it, so I dont want anything thats too big of an injvestment, but I dont want some first act piece of shit.

it has to have a sexy little amp thing so I can choose from sexy tones

also, the guitar itself should be pretty decent, not shitty.

I'm looking anywhere between 100 and 200 bucks for the whole deal. anyone know any good deals

lol, this thread inspired me to go jam with a dude for like 2 hours

screw dance, I'm getting a guitar now :)
