That sounds pretty good btw ^^
Thanks, and yes, that's the competition. :cool2:

But this is also a nice piece, just the guy with guitar could slow a bit and leave the strings to do more ''after-noise'' or how can I can it. :mrgreen:
Well, the progress is that I've got guitar parts and machine drums for 10 songs recorded. ;)

And thanks, but our guitarist isn't too much into uncontrolled noise. ;)

A little composition... I'll continue working on it but it will stay pretty the same until I record a studio version... One day...

As I've said before, I sometimes make experimental electronic music. Along these lines, I've just released a new ambient album, Uinua. You can download it for free at http://texturalhealing.blogspot.com/

This is a piece I wrote in the Sehnaz saz semai mode (Eastern "traditional").
Written with cretan lyra originally, but here I play it with the tamboura.
The Aksak semai rythm is played with a 45 cm goat skin bendir.
You can find the score on http://www.kerannis.gr.

Tomorrow I am going to buy some new strings for my guitar, since I only have three right now (G, B and E). That was enough for me to learn the riff from George Harrison's "Something". :D

I bought a USB audio interface this month, so i tried to record something, and i came up making a cover of this great song.
This Charming Man (Instrumental Cover)
Please, don't mind the crappy off tempo start, i forgot to put a countdown :doh:

I used a condor ct-10sm, its a cheap brazilian guitar, but there is nothing really cheap about it, to me it is better than a PRS that i played a while ago

So, i hope you like it, i may try to do some original stuff soon BTW, i just need a bit of creativity.

Hey, you also have a Marshall amp? Me too :D
Your playing sounds nice too, although I would (personally) never buy a guitar with two singlecoils :D Anyway, how does the bridge pickup sound with high gain? Is there also the random noise heard when you're in front of your amp?
Currently I play an Ibanez Gio, but thinking about something better - I need to get to Cologne, there are two big stores offering guitars... ;)

The marshall amp is not mine, but i like the way it sounds :D
currently i have no amp, my old amp is not working :(
This guitar doesn't like high gain, it sounds good, but the noise is very loud,
there is some feedback bursts when sustaining notes too long too.
I never use high gain BTW, but when i need heavier sounds, i use my Epiphone LP100

My cousin have a Ibanez Gio, i really hate his guitar lol, its so light that i think it was made of cardboard.

I also have another of these Condor Telecaster, a CT-20, this one have humbuckers, but weirdly the sound is more like rickenbacker's
I played too on a expensive PRS at the store, sounds good, very mellow, but its not for my style.
also i used a friend's PRS, a Tremonti SE i think, i hate it, no good tone from it

Hopefully my next guitar will be a Semi-Hollow body, i am thinking of the Epiphone 335, i tested it and i am in love :rofl:

BTW, What type of music you play? I mostly play 60's rock (Beatles, CCR...) and 80's pop-rock and lots of The Smiths too.
I am trying to get into Rockabilly now, starting with Rock This Town by Stray Cats :D

Um, I think the Gio was a good guitar to start with at least. Not as heavy as a Gibson (or similar mahagony solidbodies), offering some sound possibilities (2 SC's, one coilsplit-HB). But on the original amp included in one of these "Jumpstart packages" which are available for less than 300€ here it sounded fairly bad. Since I have the Marshall amp it all sounds waaay better ;)

I'll stay with a solid body I guess. I don't like the looks of semi-hollows. It could be a Strat, Tele or LP Style guitar, but it should have enough sound possibilities, so either two HB's with Coilsplit or HB - SC - HB. I saw that the Hagstrom Super Swede (LP style) has got two HBs with coilsplit. Nevertheless it has the "Fender Measure" - 25.5 in instead of the shorter Gibson scale. I definitely need to check out that guitar, as it also got good reviews and as it's not an exact copy of the Les Paul. :D I will also check out some other guitars (maybe some Epiphones with Gibson PU's or also some Strats with enough HB's), I guess I get to Cologne next week :yummy: I just hate the noise of the singlecoils when you're close to the amp so I need some HB's ;)

I play quite different styles, often I just turn up the gain and play punk rock like Rise Against, Bad Religion etc. Anyway, as I'm playing since two years now, it's no longer a real challenge so I got into different music styles. Some Pink Floyd, some Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler, some 2000's Rock, a little bit Beatles and a little bit Eagles. I don't really play metal though, I really don't want a guitar with active Pickups ("standard" EMG 81/85 combination). Often enough I also turn on a generic combination of chords and play my own solo to it :)

I think HB with coilsplit is really the best for you then.
And i think that guitars with active pickups have the most generic sound possible on a guitar.

Weird, i don't really remember what style i played back when i started.
Last year i really got into The Smiths,
Figuring out what Johnny Marr (Smiths guitarist) plays, and how he plays, was a great challenge.
Also i play some Pretenders songs, they have a very unique style too...

I currently have two electric guitars. My first one, which I've had since '95, is a Les Paul style clone with Humbuckers, a quite heavy weight guitar, which I use at home (acoustically) when composing new guitar music. When playing with an amp (which I haven't done in ages - I think the last time was a year and a half ago since I don't have a band in which I play a guitar at the moment - even though I'd love to play in some band instead of just singing as I currently do) I have a non-brand semi-hollow Telecaster which I love to death due to the way I can control the feedback forever if I want to. :yummy:

Anyone up for FAWM? Those who don't know the drill, it's a challenge to write 14 songs during February. I haven't participated in two years but this time I will try if I'm up to the task. :cool2:

Hm, unless they can be some 15-30 second trials, I wouldn't have the time/speed to make that amount in one month.

I don't think it's a problem to just make the compositions for example. :) For my part, I don't need any assistance, I've gotten a great start and have several skeletons ready already! Decided to try composing most of the songs in my head and only then grab the guitar. :D

1nsane, I can imagine that it's much harder in your genre than in rock for example.

I can say I'm a musican a bit ;)
I'm singing at school but that's not main thing - I'm making electronic music in Fruity Loops (someone know it I think). It's only hobby and I don't want to make it as main thing in life I think, just some hobby I could forgot about worries and others but.. Who knows?
After 4 years of learning (practically without any tips hints and tutorials, apart from this by AirNight - your awesome guy) I'm finishing my track. If it will be done, I'll try send it to some labels - I don't waste anything.
This year I want to buy MIDI controller, but I don't know I will have enough money (this year I'll go for drive license, but at holiday - I have birthday on August, also I want to buy a car). We'll see ;)

My new band, Karma Bucket (for which I play guitar), just got the first demo out. It's three songs of melodic rock, check it out at Soundcloud. :D

And not to make this just about myself, Crowella's band Valko just released a pretty cool song. :cool2:

Seems that yesterday was a good day for us GRIF musicians. ;)
