Is that a real fender american stratocaster, if it is that a fucking good price, and an amazing guitar. If it's even just a janapaese or mexican that's still not bad at all.

How long would it take some one to get to a decent level at bass, like good enough to play in a band. Why don't more kids play bass I mean apart from the fact that no one cares and bass's in bands, because you could get in to good bands really easily, because of the lack of competition.

Half an hour? Less.

Hey fellas, just checking in... I've currently only got one guitar with a whole set of strings on it, so I'm putting off breaking another string till I can afford new sets for everything.
Welcome to all new members!
We've got a lot of guys in here that appreciate the accoustic stuff, and if you're one of them, you NEED to check out Keller Williams, he's frickin' amazing. He's the only guy I know that plays a ten string and sounds like a whole band. He does some looping stuff that's pretty spectacular too, a total joy to see live. Seek out his tracks Blazabego and Cadillac, and you will glad you did.
Quick question.
Neck Pick Up?
Bridge Pick Up?
Both?
Which do you play with?

Both, but not at the same time. I actually lower the volume on the Neck pickup sometimes and get a clean sound, and when I go into distortion, I flip on the other pickup.
I'm cheap like that

Almost always neck.
Oh, to answer my own question.
I play neck. Always.

Guys, I think I did it.
I'm writing "the song". This is the one. The one that will make an impact.... I'm serious. You might dismiss me now but I honestly think this will be a memorable song. It's a slow, catchy, heart string tugging ballad full of piano and epic guitar solo's.
Remember this post. Remember Patrick Miskowski.
Trust me, one day you'll be driving home from work and they'll say my name and play the song... You'll know right away. "This is what that fucker was talking about!"

95% of the time, it's the Bridge pickup, but for a creamy lead tone, I'll switch to the neck picku-up...it also depends on the axe itself...I'm much more likely to use the neck pickup on my stratobastard than on my V.
Eh, sorry for the double post, but I forgot to point out that using the bridge pickup will bring out your harmonics a lot better than a neck pickup. And I dig harmonics.

I'll listen out for it.
Now for something completely different.
Who is the most featured guitarist in your music collection?
In my case it has to be Mark Knopfler. I have every Dire Straits album, two solo works and a duet album he did with Chet Atkins.
At 8/2/06 02:07 AM, positively_negative wrote: Who is the most featured guitarist in your music collection?
Slash.
GN'R:
Appetite For Destruction, Lies, Live-Era, UYI 1&2 DVD's.
Slash's Snakepit:
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
Velvet Revolver:
Contraband
He also appears on these albums that I own:
Lenny Kravitz: Greatest Hits, Micheal Jackson: Dangerous, Alice Cooper: A Nice Nightmare
Which is alot because I don't own alot of CD's. I think he's not on like... maybe 5 Albums I own.

You should name this song " DEAD CORPSES SURROGATED BY NECROPHILIA"
or "SPEWING ASSHOLE FLESH"
That would be a major hit :)
But in reality, if you finish even a slight demo with most of the instruments (no vocals) you can already send it to me ;D
Bridge pickup always! As FB said, better squealies ;D. Plus it gives a crunchier tone and leads to palm mutes with more impact.
The only time I feel inclined to use my neck pickup is on the rare occasion I practice sweeping.
I use my bridge pickup pretty much all the time. It sounds better. Although I also do the whole Neck pickup low on volume for a clean sound. Or I turn the volume off completely and use the neck pickup as a killswitch.
And the most feature artist in much music collection - CD's I actually own - would be a tie between Jimmy Page and Daron Malakian.
Lol killswitch!

That's good, I bet that's just simple crap bass but that's good enough. I mean that wouldn't be like Cliff Burton Bass or the guy who invented fretless bass but i can't remeber his name. Guitar is the real art though.

That is a rather cunning idea.

Which one is which, I mean like which one is the bass(rhythem) pick up and which is the treble pick up. I perfer using the bass pick up mainly and occasionally both, but i hate the sound of using just the treble pick up.
At 8/2/06 08:04 AM, Arcarsenal wrote: Which one is which...
Neck - Pickup closest to the neck.
Bridge - Pickup closest to the bridge.
Treble = Brigde.
Rhythm = Neck.

I think I messed them up (I always call them Rythm and Treble).

I wrote a kind of song like that. By what you say and by my experience with it already, it'll probably be a kick-ass song.

Nothing. He's just a good bassist from Metallica who died.
