who here has heard the song freebird by lynard skynard? it's such a nasty song, the solo's like 4 minutes of pure insanity.

This club was a good idea. I tried to play guitar when I was a little kid, but it turns out that I'm too stupid. So I play drums. :D
*Makes drummers club that gets 100 replies immediately*
So, who's laughing now? Aww... that'll never happen...

I own an Ibanez standard, 22 fret guitar. I've been playing for about 2 and a half years. Don't know where to start in terms of my favourite bands. Let's see here... Metallica, Led Zepplin, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, the list goes on and on...

sweet, we've got a bunch of people here now. what's your favorite hendrix song?

That's equally as hard to answer as what my favourite band is. I'll just list the ones I like the most: All Along The Watchtower, Purple Haze, Voodoo Child, Hey Joe, The Wind Cries Mary, etc. There are many others, but I can't be bothered to think of them right now.

do you have the band of gypsies cd, cuz you didn't mention any of the songs on that, and many people would say that was his best work.

I don't own any of his CDs.

a guitarist club w/o danger,this just cannot be

i have a gibson sg custom
a 1958 vintage kay acoustic (they dont even make those anymore)
and a bootleg strat (japan version)
i've been playing for about 9 years and i was in a band but we broke up b/c i got tired of playing w/ dumbasses

heres a pic of my and my gibson

Lets see here, I have a 20 year old knock off acoustic guitar, I've been playing for about 10 months and some of my favorite bands to play are Pearl Jam, Radiohead, a little bit of Howie Day. If anyone knows any good places to find some leads it would be sweet to put them up here.

My band has been together for a couple months, and we just got recording equipment this week, so in a couple of months i plan on having about 5 or 6 songs on here (although some of our songs are in the 7 minute range).

I strongly suggest people check this out!

AlucarD's Band

heh...thanks! We've had three songs played on the radio locally here. They have a program called "Noise in the Basement" that you can submit your demos to be played on the air....Nothing beats the sound of your music coming over the air! It just sounds.....so big when broadcast!!

Here's a pic of me and my Gibson Invader, playing at a place called "The Zu"

My computer was fucked up, for like a week i couldn't use the internet. I felt like a fucking heroine addict in rehab. I'm so psyched, i finally have a bassist for my band, and we have written four tight songs so far.

it took me a long time to come up with the name of the genre, cuz we're kinda all over the place, but i think we could be best described as experimental funk metal. The name of our band is Fistula.

That is pretty cool. Like Nirvana you really can't place them in a Genre or MSI.

I'll join

I have a red Jay Tursor guitar

I've been playing since July

Offspring

even if i die, la guitara lives on!

is anyone here familiar with home recording, because i seriously need some tips. right now we're using a mixer, a four-track, and 5 mics to record our shit, but the sound quality is terrible.

yes...you are probably trying to record "live" That doesn't work...you have to record one track at a time...guitar, bass, drums, vocal, etc...with a 4-track recorder, once you have 2 tracks that you are happy about, you can record both to one track, allowing you to have three tracks to work with again! There should be no external noise when laying down a track. If it doesn't sound right, try moving the mic around until you find what works. Just record a few secs of the piece to try out mic placement.....A little experimenting works wonders!

we don't record live, i was looking more for tips like mic brand names, and volume techniques. i bet with experimentation we'll improve though.

come on guys, no ones posting. we can't let the only guitar club on NG die.

you have a gibson sg i outha slap you, well i dont know a lotta people who heard of this guitar but i got it second hand at a local music shop called sobers, it is Black Magic Profile, its pretty nice, and favorite band is slipknot, cradle of filth, tenacious d, jimi hendrix experience, ac dc, metallica, led zepplin, that kinda stuff, ive been playing for maybe 2 or 3 years, i really only set my mind on notibg but guitar maybe almost a year or less ago though

I'm a drummer by principal, but I also play bass, keyboards, sing, and of course guitar. I own a late 80's Dean Playmate with 3D tiger paint job. Some of my fav bands are Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica, and SOAD. I've been playing for just under a year, and have been loving every minute of it. Rock on Cleveland. hehe
