Being a lover of the Canon and Gigue in D by Pachelbel, I left for work this morning while the video was still downloading (dial-up, you know), so I haven't seen the whole thing, but I do have a question: When he held up his outer fingers with the middle ones bent down, then slightly bent the outer ones as well it looked like some sort of "hip" signal. What does that signal mean? ------------------ "...prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Ghost can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer. Pray for prayer---pray till you can pray; pray to be helped to pray, and give not up praying because you cannot pray, for it is when you think you cannot pray that you are most praying. Sometimes when you have no sort of comfort in your supplications, it is then that your heart---all broken and cast down---is really wrestling and truly prevailing with the Most High." |

Depends on who you ask---some people say it means 'Rock On' while others (mostly shock rockers trying to get attention) claim it can show support for Satan--although you have to keep the two fingers straight to support Satan as opposed to angled out--so he was doing it to say 'Rock On'---although, a cooler way is to have your thumb out as well as the 2 fingers---that means 'I LOve You' in sign language and some people do that too. ------------------ |

alright...just for you guys, I did this: Under The Blood on MySpace the recording on there is one of the songs we play and how we play it, but I recorded all the parts myself (and added a little rock organ, 2nd guitar, extra bass stuff). \m/ \m/ At a live show the lead guitar you hear is what I'd normally play on the bass, instead of the bluesy arpeggios. (Oh if only I had 6 of me, we'd rock! but then I wouldn't have any friends but myself, and getting into arguments with me, no matter what I win! but i'd always lose too...hrm...) As of Saturday I got my recording studio about 95% setup now !!!!! [This message has been edited by mastallama (edited June 03, 2007).] |

Classical metal is awesome isn't it? Did he have trouble at the beginning of the song, or is that just the way its supposed to sound? I thought it was slightly off until it sped up, but it may just be me. I need to practice more.. I recently got a B.C. Rich Warlock, and I'm looking into a Marshall tube stack. I think I looked for some tablature for this song, but was unsuccessful for some reason.. ------------------ |
kenman Member Posts: 518 From: Janesville WI Registered: 08-31-2006 |
Classical Metal is pretty cool Goop. Not a fan of the BC rich guitars. I have found them to be to pokey and have injured other bandmates or fans while playing them. They should come with point guards. Just gimme my Ibanez Jem 7v, and we can be okay. @Mastalamma, how about an update on the studio? How many wires do you have set up! @Marshall Tube Stack? Check out the Carvin Vai series for killer sustain and clean tone all out of one amp. |
goop2 Member Posts: 1059 From: Registered: 06-30-2004 |
Actually thats why I don't like some of the Gibson guitars as much as Jackson and Ibanez copies. They look too round for my tastes. (Flying V, Explorer ..) You can always get a Mockingbird and have the powerful B.C. Rich sound, without the danger of stabbing a band member to death I was actually thinking of getting the TSL100. That thing has tone leaking out its ears! (Or it would if it had ears) |

I am currently working on 3 odd meter tunes a 7/8 ballad I think I'll call my next CD Odd Meter and get a picture of a Parking Meter and turn it into a guitar neck |
MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
how are you counting your 7/8? I wrote one once, going with the counting school of (1 e & a) mine was counted 1 & & 2 & 3 & with each of the 7...8ths equal, of course. I played a jazz song once in college that was 1 & 2 & & 3 &...weird... |
kenman Member Posts: 518 From: Janesville WI Registered: 08-31-2006 |
You can listen here http://www.gckingoftheblues.com/profile/KenBjammen Ashley's tune is my first take at the 7/8 ♫♫♫♫♫ Just so you know I have never counted my music The "father's day" stuff was the 5/4 blues 9/8 would be 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |
SSquared Member Posts: 654 From: Pacific Northwest Registered: 03-22-2005 |
Neat to hear your guy's stuff. Ashley's Tune seemed more like 7/4 (7 quarter notes). I could not find the triplet. |
goop2 Member Posts: 1059 From: Registered: 06-30-2004 |
Ken: I thought it sounded good, but it might add a bit of color if you were to do a trill in your songs rather than bouncing on the fretboard. Thats just my opinion though.. Just from listening to Vai and Satriani.. They tend to do that a lot. |
MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
Hey Ken, all sounds great!! I agree S^2, Ashley's Tune is more of a 7/4 and then the Father's Day is more of a 5/8 (1 & & 2 &) according to what the drums and bass are doin'...but it's all theory and semantics! what really matter is you're enjoying your music and others are too! |
MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
Hey Ken, what does your pedal board consist of? |

My pedal board. *takes a deep breath For recording Boss SD-2 Assorted Computer effects, I tried programming a couple but that is more funny. Then recording audigy 2 platinum digitial in sound card to cakewalk software, asorted plug ins. Live Zakk Wylde Crybaby Amp Fender Deville 4x10 Guitars I have other effects that I do not use

kenman Member Posts: 518 From: Janesville WI Registered: 08-31-2006 |
In regards to the differnece between 5/4 and 5/8 I know there really is a true difference, but that's what I set up the cakewalk session drummer in, so I added the bass to what was already present in the drums. I have never counted when I play, I play by feel. The amount of music I can read is very limited, both my kids read music better than I do. What I do know is how to put stuff together. (IMHO) |
MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
wow...that's all I can say, wow! Did you just now go and take that pic? That's a freakin' sweet setup! I really want a baby grand in my home but I don't have the room or funds. My parents have an old upright that is technically mine, but again...no room. |

I took that picture last week to show someone else some of the stuff. That is a conservatory grand that I picked up for next to nothing (Yes I beleive that God blesses those who bless others) A chuch traded it in on a Yamaha Concert Grand, and the salesman was just looking it over, so we got it for 1/3 of the used price that it would have been on the floor. I paid more for the LP and the JEM than I did the grand. so for the coders in us LP+JEM<GRAND PIANO |
SSquared Member Posts: 654 From: Pacific Northwest Registered: 03-22-2005 |
I think your equation is backwards. Regarding the 5/4 thing: I had a feeling you probably set your time signature in software or whatever as 7/8 and just went with it. One of my favorite electronic music artists, Vangelis, can't read a bit of music. But he is a phenomenal creator and writer. We've wanted to get a grand for years. Looking for good deals, but they are usually taken by the time we call. But as a synthman, I have a thing about paying so much for ONE sound when I can get hundreds of different piano sounds for much less. For some reason, my wife doesn't seem to care. She much prefers the real thing. I do have to agree, though, in the sense it's better for the kids to learn on a real piano. |

@ Sē , Cakewalk has a session drummer that you just click on what you want, i.e. time signature. To be totally honest, I just pulled up the 1/8th note or whatever and put it where I thought the beat was. It's like crazy when stuff come out good, and it's like not too abnormal when not. Here the 5/4 blues with the midi drummer screen shot

MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
Cakewalk rocks! I used it for years (from version 2.5 in the mid-late 90s to version "Pro Audio 9") and recently went the way of a Mac-mini and GarageBand (actually in the garage). There's sooo many different versions out now http://www.musiciansfriend.com/rec/navigation/cakewalk-music-production-software-digital-synthesizers?N=100001+201124 that I'm not sure I could ever decide which to use! |

Hey, I really like this one.. Except that when I hear it, it just aches to be a bit faster. like 20% faster (WMP lets your kick up the speed. it sounds a lot nicer at 1.2x) .. what bpm is it at? Anyways.. Great tune! God Bless!

kenman Member Posts: 518 From: Janesville WI Registered: 08-31-2006 |
Washburn 7 string H/H config 7 strings are something I have not really tried much. If I got one I would want the ibanez universe 7 string with the killer FR trem system. Still a killer axe dude! ------------------ If you ain't in the forums, you in the againstums :) |
MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005 |
Specs (un-official) : 7 strings, awesome tone, perfect action, sounds great even through my little practice amp (i haven't hooked it into my "small venue" PA yet to blast the neighbors from 3 streets away). The lows are low but clear, the mids and highs are balanced nicely. It's the best sounding guitar I have! Clean it sounds amazing, then get's better with my Yngvie overdrive pedal! Throw on the DS-1 and it's beautiful! Here's a review from http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/electric_guitars/washburn/wg587/index.html
