Why would you post your own material on the web. You will regret this one day (That wasn't a threat), trust me, there's a lot of fucked up people on the web and ignorant pricks that would just love to take someone's work and claim it as their own. And what difference does it make if we think it sounds good. Writing music is completely dependent on the writer and what he or she believes is music.

As for the tab, don't even bother trying to type it out. Every site manages to make text appear the slightest bit different in some shape or form from one another; which sort of kills the whole opportunity for tabs to work because as perfectly shown in the link you provided, the dashes and numbers will end up mushing together and become unreadable and ultimately... unplayable.

Either head over to a torrent site as the Pirate Bay and pick yourself up a copy of GuitarPro 5.2 to create files with your songs and host them on the web or upload a endless stream of PNG (JPG will just make it unreadable) images if you really want the iN3RNeTz to see your awesome skillz on teh fretzboardz.

faggot. good one. now im reely hurt "dont post tabs cuz im a loser hahahaha"

Congratulations, what songs did you play?

I also played something of a gig the other day, only I played piano, so...

Anybody have any tips on mastering sweep picking? I understand the concept but I don't know how to start practicing it.

I practically wrote a book's worth about it on here already. The cliff notes are:
- Hold your pick with two fingers (Easiest) while allowing only about 2mm of the pick to stand out.
- Move your picking hand in one continues motion (If not followed, you're not sweeping, but picking).
- Picking closer to the bridge makes for easier playing due to the strings being more tense there.
- Allow your hand to rest gently on the bridge (Especially important for floating trems).
- Adjust and fine tune your fretting hand to make every movement as natural as possible.
- Practice Minor arpeggios at first because they have more interesting shapes.
- Practice every sweep very slowly at start. 50bpm sounds good but there is no rule for this.
- Build speed gradually in increments of 10 or even 5 (We're aiming for speed here, right?).
- Don't increase the speed if you can't perform the sweep at least five times without a mistake.
- Make every single note as audible and clean as possible before increasing the speed.
- Don't lose hope and don't look at Herman Li's youtube instructional videos.

Some country, some classic rock, the usual. I hope our band will work out some new tunes here soon.

Thanks a bunch man, hopefully I wont waste the knowledge you have bestowed upon me haha.

I got an Ibanez S-670PB

Fave band would be Ayreon

I've been playing for a little over 12 years.

One Fender Squire, One Hagstrom.
Favorite Band: Tenacious D or Coheed and Cambria. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are close, but not in yet. Sill, very close!
about 1 year, but I already know how to play all of classical gas by Mason Williams-and I started to learn that about one week ago.

Both Nev and I find Death great. I can play some of Pull the Plug but it gets a bit crazy at the end. I can also play Scavenger of Sorrow.

I like a little bit of death metal, haven't listened to too much of it.

The only songs I can play from start to finish from memory are all Death songs:

Pull the Plug
The Philosopher
Crystal Mountain
Bite the Pain

I can play loads others but not off the top of my head :).

Nice songs, especially Philosopher and Crystal Mountain. You can even play the solos? I usually can't play the solos.

I can play Bite the Pain's solo.
Haven't bothered learning the others, I find the rhythm more interesting :).

Yeah, that's cool. I was just listening to The Philosopher too, lol. The verses' structure and chords are so odd but yet amazing.

I'm trying to sing along whilst playing and I'm pretty much there - apart from the bridge.
The chorus is tough, but ace :D. LIES! FEED YOUR JUDGEMENT OF OTHERS, BEHOLD! HOW THE BLIND LEAD EACH OTHEEERR!

And Plug the Pull is easy to sing along with :). And that mega-fast breakdown is tits to play.
