Who else plays guitar?

[Pressure]

I DO! Here's a video of my skills:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QVz045KdVY

Here's a song I wrote just for HL2.net. Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utdGPad1fco

[sea]

Hilarious.

I have a song, too. It's worse than yours (http://eric.hosted.luckz.de/audio/oh_dear_sweet_mother_of_god.mp3).

[Pressure]

Um, it's not suposed to be bad.

[Slacker]

LOL.

Anyway, I played for about a year, but I got bored pretty quick. Coordination just isn't my jam I guess...

[-Psy-]

You guys need ears D:

I've played for nearly 2 years now.

[Pressure]

Hey! Listen here, I don't care how many decades you've been playing. I thought what I wrote was pretty awesome.

[Vegeta897]

I was expecting lyrics of awesome.

[TIIMMYY]

Ive been playing for 3 years now. I can play most songs with a bit of practice...but it's just those damn solos! D:

[Pressure]

I've been playing for 8 years. I'm startin to get the hang of it.

[TIIMMYY]

My only problem is my inabliity to move my fingers very fast or pluck strings very fast. :P

[Slacker]

My only problem is my inabliity to move my fingers very fast or pluck strings very fast. :P

That was my problem. I'm probably one of the most uncoordinated guys on this earth, so moving from Chord-to-chord was a real pain in the ass for me.

[hneaz]

were u just fretting random notes and playing? anyway, i have been playing for 3 years and i play most heavy stuff. as for chord changing, u need to 'feel' the chords first before playing them. whenever i learn a chord, i close my eyes and try to feel that chord. then i play it with other chords i noe. do it slowly and increase the speed as you go.

[evil^milk]

I took classes for six months and I play on and off for fun sometimes.

[Cerpin]

I play guitar in a band called Architect.

Check us out here: http://www.myspace.com/architectonline

Not much showoff stuff, but the song "Sirens and Titans" has some fast guitarplaying, as well as some Santana style soloing in the beginning.

Oh, there's some "semi-shredding" in the middle part of "A Vulture's Song".

[Pressure]

As you could see in my video I play mostly speed metal, because it's the only type of music that takes skill to play.

[AntiAnto]

As you could see in my video I play mostly speed metal, because it's the only type of music that takes skill to play.

Yes, skills....

[Pressure]

Yup, skills. Anyone can play all slow. It takes true dedication to play all fast like I was there.

[evil^milk]

:laugh:

[Pressure]

You and your finger plucking spanish guitar can go eat me, because it's too easy.

[evil^milk]

lmao dude, i just watched your video, you are too funny XD (although the second half was alright, methinks)

[AntiAnto]

We all know that Spaniards don't have fingers.

[Pressure]

If someone wants to take lessons just let me know. I'm willing to give some.

[AntiAnto]

If someone wants to take lessons just let me know. I'm willing to give some.

Free of charges?

[Zeus]

I play guitar and also bass, actually i just picked up a crybaby last week (wah), my favorite songs to play are NIN songs (surprise i know)

[DeusExMachina]

As you could see in my video I play mostly speed metal, because it's the only type of music that takes skill to play.

Too bad no one listens to speed metal.

Much like Slacker, I have no coordination with guitars. I got an acoustic, but I can't play very well. I should get lessons, but I doubt they'd be any use.

[Pressure]

Sure... Here's goes lesson one. I call it the power of solos. In this video I show you how a true metal guitarist improvises his solos. Try to pick up some of my techniques. The solo is about 3 minutes long and uses a lot of common speed metal trade marks. Take a look!

(Please give the video a few minutes to process as I just uploaded it now.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8H4N-Vf_u8

Also, I will not be giving out the tabs. A true metal guitarist can tab out a song just by listening to it. If you can't do it by ear watch my fingers.

[sea]

This must all be some sort of sick joke.

[Pressure]

If you watch my speed picking it clearly isn't.

[evil^milk]

:laugh:
:cheese:

[hneaz]

play smth proper, not some stuff that makes u look like a douche....

[Pressure]

If showing off your skill makes you look like a douche then I guess I'm a douche. Plus, douches are hygenic products so I take that as a compliment.

[-Psy-]

I think this guy is taking the piss :laugh:

Seriously, your not even playing in key. Your just playing completely random notes.

Oooo, I like those songs! :)

[Shift]

Been playing for 8 years now, can also play bass (if you can play the guitar then bass comes pretty easy) and the keyboard. I played in a band for two years whilst in secondary school, mainly playing gigs around the area for extra cash, and participating (and generally winning xD) the battle of the bands contests hosted by the diffirent venues. Back then we played Metallica songs mostly, and trust me, some of those songs must have taken me 6 months of pure practice to master. When we got to college we split up but are still very good mates (we split up to concentrate on work in college since secondary school was easy we got away with dedicating a lot of time to the music). I have no interest in going on to form a band and 'attempt' to make it big, the lifestyle doesn't exactly suite me, plus I have other better plans for the future ;) Since the split up, me and my girlfriend (awsome bass player) have been jamming together just for fun, we usually play Muse songs now. Matt Bellamy must be one of the most talented musicians of the 21st century.

Metallica is too easy. I need something harder.

Here's me playing along with Master of Puppets..... too easy!

You're so awesome Pressure, have my babies.

Always glad to help out a true fan, but unfortunately I am unable to bear children seeing as I am male.

[Vegeta897]

Holy shit Pressure :O I never knew you could play like that!

[Que-Ever]

Those are the worst videos I've ever seen.

Yeah, I know it's a joke. It isn't funny.

[-Psy-]

Yeah.

Not funny.

You can't even play the intro XD

[Pressure]

Yeah, I know it's a joke. It isn't funny.

Hey buddy, it may be funny to make fun of beginners but way to be an asshole. It's people like you who discourage people from learning new stuff. Grow up.

[Que-Ever]

How is 8 years a beginner? Beginner would be like, 2 months.

pff... grow up? "This guys an asshole because he realized I suck at guitar".

[Vegeta897]

How is 8 years a beginner?
Apparantly some of the joke flew right over your head :laugh:

[Que-Ever]

No. If he's gonna go all the way and start getting all indignant when someone thinks his joke isn't funny, it better had been at least because it was a good joke.

[Vegeta897]

It's too bad the only one getting pissy in here is you and the other people. You could just leave the thread..?

[Pressure]

Who said it was a joke? Maybe this is the best I can play. You're suposed to encourage me and give the strength to move on, to become the best player I can be. Obviously since you're a master player I'm willing to take some lessons.

[Shift]

Hey buddy, it may be funny to make fun of beginners but way to be an asshole. It's people like you who discourage people from learning new stuff. Grow up.

I've been playing for 8 years

Clearly you haven't been playing for 8 years as you wouldn't be a beginner, or you have and you have put in hardly any practice or dedication into your playing. You are the one who needs to grow up and realize that you aren't as awsome as you said you were and also realize that you are really bad at jokes.

[Pressure]

Well excuse me for not being Jimi Hendrix. I don't see your videos. At least I'm putting forth an effort here.

[Que-Ever]

Who said it was a joke?
I got the idea mainly this quote...
As you could see in my video I play mostly speed metal, because it's the only type of music that takes skill to play.

to break things up a little bit :O

I'm not a master player, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize bad playing.
I'm a crap teacher anyway, mostly because I'm like, "dammit kid, you suck." Not to mention I play bass exclusively.

Anyway, if this is really the best you can play, I apologize. Just... next time, don't be all "I'm the best player ever" because, well, you're not :/

Btw, veggies, nice reply there, the only one getting indignant is me and the other people. :P

[-Psy-]

Hey buddy, it may be funny to make fun of beginners but way to be an asshole. It's people like you who discourage people from learning new stuff. Grow up.

Lol! You can't even keep in time. You have no rythm and it seems like you have no way of forming chord shapes.

[Pressure]

That's why I'm learning. You guys are so cruel! You'll see one day I'm gonna be famous for being mediocre at guitar.

[Vegeta897]

Btw, veggies, nice reply there, the only one getting indignant is me and the other people. :P
Well, is it not true? There's no need to come in here and just blab "oh, you're not funny man. you suck. wtf, that wasn't funny." when you could just... Not? And enjoy the show?

[Shift]

You came on and made this topic acting as if you were like a master player, I believed you at first when you said I have been playing for 8 years, but you haven't been playing for 8 years, and you are not good at all. You should have come on the topic and said 'hey I have been playing for a month and Im starting to get the hang of it, here is some videos of what I can do at the moment', but when you come on say that playing Metallica is easy, well you deserve the abuse lol.

I don't see your videos. At least I'm putting forth an effort here

Im not the type who wants to show off their skills on the internet as I aint showing off type of guy, in my time playing I played for fun and extra money. Putting forth an effort? So making videos of crap playing and saying after you post them that you are a master of playing the guitar is portraying the amount of effort you put in? I dont think so mate.

[Pressure]

I thought I was doing pretty good at the Metallica cover.

[hneaz]

I thought I was doing pretty good at the Metallica cover.

What? u weren playing anything that was MoP. the first part - wtf? u were just playing some random stuff. The spider part - too slow and wrong. plus, why are u playing in clean? didn u noe u are supposed to be in distortion?

before posting a cover video of the greatest band ever, learn to play the song properly and not make a fool of urself. and get urself someone to play with. 8 years of playing the guitar.... more like palying once in a while ever since u started 8 years ago...


do me and everyone else here a favor, stop wasting our time watching ur 'awesome' videos. They just suck...

[Shift]

The great thing about playing Master of Puppets is to be able to play its awsome intro, it was playing over the top and you weren't even playing it, I take that because you cant play it. The power chords were completely out of time and disfunctioned, there was no rythme or speed in the power chords and you weren't even implementing the palm mutes between the power chords either. So im sorry but no it wasn't good at all, I didn't even know what you were doing throughout the piece. Learn how to read tabs or the music itself, get them off the internet (even though they are usually inaccurate) and learn how to play the songs properly. Or better yet, go get some guitar lessons from a teacher.

[Vegeta897]

do me and everyone else here a favor, stop wasting our time watching ur 'awesome' videos. They just suck...
First of all, speak for yourself, and secondly, nobody is making you watch the videos, or even enter the thread. You should have been able to deduct his skill level after the first video.

[Cerpin]

Oooo, I like those songs! :)

Thanks a lot :)

[theotherguy]

I got my first guitar two weeks ago, (its a really cheap les paul special) and I'm just starting to learn how to play it.

I recorded my first song (http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3371.html) on it last weekend.

[ericms]

Alot of people in here are ****ing dumb. This guy is what metal is all about obviously.

Very nice recording, its pretty good for someone who started recently. i liked the lyrics and the vocals. very catchy. btw, where did u get the drum beats? using a program?

[DeusExMachina]

Drum machines ftw.

I'm totally gonna start a one man band one day. Just me, Comrade the drum machine, and Voyager the player piano.

Here's a song I wrote just for HL2.net. Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utdGPad1fco

wow, you got the exact same guitar as me!

oh, and to the people asking about my song, I made the drums in FL studio. I am a drumset player myself, but I couldn't string the microphone over to the drumset :o

[Hectic Glenn]

Pressure, your hl2.net song brought a tear to my eye. Now i believe you. Metal indeed you are.

[MuToiD_MaN]

Who else plays guitar?
Does Guitar Hero count? :dork:

[JNightshade]

Well, I for one think he shows true promise.

[qckbeam]

There is some real hate in this thread. I have to say, I haven't seen such a display of jealousy in a long time. It's pretty obvious that people feel intimidated by Pressure and his skill with the guitar. The anger is so pathetic :rolleyes:

[hneaz]

im not jealous. i laugh cuz he said hes been playing for 8 years and i played for 3 years, and he posts these videos.

as for effort in putting videos, i dun make videos. but i have a track on my band's profile. Click Here (http://www.myspace.com/fightforsalem)

[hneaz]

Oh yeah? then why did u say ur song is worse than Pressure? I smell irony....


Anyway, Pressure, i saw ur Fade to Black vid and it was played well. what i dun understand is why aren u posting these awesome videos on this thread?. if u can play Fade to Black, im sure u can play MoP.

[sea]

Because I wrote that song with the intention of it being absolutely horrible. I have better recordings, although considering I usually do drums for them and spend a good time mixing multiple tracks, I never have the will to really do anything of any length.

Even so:

(Note: some of these have the volume pretty loud, so you might want to turn down your speakers a bit)

Everything there aside from "The Moor" and "Messing with the Kid" was recorded with a direct input. Still, with my crappy equipment it doesn't sound that great, and I'm hardly a pro when it comes to mixing. My biggest problem is eliminating static on rhythm guitars when distortion is used. If anyone has any tips, feel free to share. :B

Well when someone makes a thread, says they have been playing for 8 years, that they are awsome on the guitar and they find Metallica easy to play, then produce a medicore video, that person will be slated. He has quite obviously not been playing for 8 years, so he should have come in and said Ive been playing for such a time and I think Im getting it now, here is what I can do, you would get a better response then.

[StardogChampion]

Pressure has succeeded in making a fool out of everyone who got pissed off in this thread :afro:

Your band sucks.

EDIT: No offence meant but - songs seem to have only vague ideas of rythem or time structure.. a GOD AWFUL name, generic song titles, generic metal band. Feh.

[CrazyHarij]

i have to agree with CB. 3 years is not alot of time for a band or musician, and there already is generic crap like that out there, youre not bringing anything new to the scene! what i'm waiting to see is ppl doing different stuff with the guitar!

if we're going to be bastards to people, seriously, hneaz, your rhythm is uneven as ****. get a metronome

plus, everyone needs different amounts of time to evolve, it's not a ****ing race, and not everyone has time to practice every single hour of the day..

i also play the guitar, just started out though.. but i've been playing piano/synth for a longer while so I*m finding it quite easy to learn stuff since i already have a reasonable idea of music theory. I just learned to play stairway to heaven :) can't even begin to get that solo right though

The great thing about playing Master of Puppets is to be able to play its awsome intro, it was playing over the top and you weren't even playing it, I take that because you cant play it.

Or better yet, go get some guitar lessons from a teacher.

I'm sorry but you shouldn't even attempt to teach someone, you're a ****ing dolt. Go practice solos by your heroes instead of poisoning promising aspirants with your negative attitude. it only reflects how insecure you are about your own playing.

[Shift]

I couldn't give a **** if I am making a fool of myself, I thought this would be a good topic to see if there were any good musicians using these forums and it turned into a joke, some of these have way too much time on their hands to be honest. Anyway lets treat this topic properly now, Im interested on who can play guitar and how well in this forum.

[CrazyHarij]

The only joke here is you.. and this:

How many guitarists does it take to screw in a light bulb? 7.

One to screw it in and the rest to say "I could have done that"

[ComradeBadger]

I've been playing a little bit on and off, will be playing more regularly soon.

[Narcolepsy]

Face it, Pressure! You're bad at guitar, and you ALWAYS WILL BE.

Also you're bad at jokes. NOT THAT THIS IS A JOKE. I only laugh at your TERRIBLE GUITAR PLAYING.

[TheAntipop]

Steady with the caps. You might make this look like it was all meant to be a joke. But, jokes don't usually work without the 'funny' element so I'll brush that aside.

I play every now and again. Nothing over pretentious, though, but I'm not a huge fan of guitar solos or anything though really, so just a bit of At the Drive-In, few Mogwai songs, tinker around abit with some minamilist stuff, etc.

[Shift]

Currently learning Plug In Baby by Muse, been working on it for a few hours and have everything perfect apart from the intro which I have almost perfected.

[Bull Goose Loony]

ive played for a few years but only off and on, so im pretty shit, but i can play some metallica etc and most simple shit (powerchords etc)

also shift your a tool btw, lighten up a bit.

Not something you should try showing off, let alone put on YouTube.

This is coming from someone who has played guitar for four years. Your playing is just WAY too sloppy. Your picking is absolutely disgusting. It's as though you're just moving your hand really fast without worrying about what you're hitting. Don't play faster than you're able to.

Which is why most of us find this humorous.

I believe it is:

0

I could be wrong, but then again I don't bother with cords that much because I'm all up into the harder shit.

I agree with Pressure, Hendrix was way overrated.

[Pressure]

Thank you! Finally someone who agrees.

[Pressure]

Okay, I have to admit something. I'm really good at guitar, well at least at what I play. I am not a player of metal music, but rather a player of catchy jingles. I'm sorry.

Yea. Like I said. I'm not good. I'm just better than Mr. I "play" speed metal.



...Why would you even think to compare yourself to Jimi Hendrix in saying you could imrpovise one of his greatest songs. You are one of the most rediculous people I've ever encountered on the net.

You are an idiot. Are you one of these people which when gets told a farfetched joke turns around and says 'THAT WOULDNT HAPPEN' despite the fact it was just a joke? Honestly, you made yourself look like a fool now...

Also, this goes out to the world, not just whitfield who made the mistake, for millenia people have been spelling this word wrong. Rediculous? RIdiculous. That needed clearing up, i apologise.

[whitfield]

How is this supposed to be funny? There's nothing funny about someone posting gay ass videos of himself playing guitar and claiming hes good. It's obnoxious. Nothing I said was unreasonable. The guy obviously isn't joking around. He seriously seems to think he's amazing. Either that, I haven't read enough of this post, but I shouldn't even be writing this response let alone reading multiple pages of stupidity.

Exclaiming your disapproval for this type of humor isn't going to make it funny, it's not going to make it go away, and it sure as hell isn't going to make everyone magically agree with you. Some people like low-brow body humor. Others like classy sarcasm. You like to shit on everything. Everyone has their own thing.

Arbitrarily claiming something "isn't funny" doesn't make it unfunny.

[Pressure]

Shut up and watch my jingles.

That post looks so funny with your avatar setting the mood.

EDIT: OMFG PRESSURE, that was CRAP. I could play those songs in my SLEEP. You're a miserable failure at guitar, and more importantly, AT LIFE.

I just got a new guitar and felt like playing a little Fade to Black just for you since you asked politely and I was in a good mood. Please excuse the suck as I wan't warmed up and that was the first thing I played. Be as harsh as you want though because I can take it :P. (Unlike your mom!)

nice, can you play the whole song?

[The One Freeman]

Very nice, btw i see you work at dominos

[Pressure]

nice, can you play the whole song?

Yes, infact I'm doing a cover where I'm going to be playing acoustic, rhythm and lead guitars along with singing the whole thing. I'll add the bass and drums as soon as I buy some.

Edit: Also, learning to sweep pick helps with the arpeggios in that intro solo if you're having problems getting those down.

How come you removed the videos dude? I wanted to see them :( But it says removed at user request.

[Pressure]

They cluttered my account.

[sea]

That's pretty good. Fade to Black is an easy song (outside of the outro solo, which isn't that bad), but at least we know you can play now. :P

[TheAntipop]

My freind is doing Nothing Else Matters for his recording peice in Music Tech, so me and a mate are helping with bass (me) and vocals (other)

Christ, what a boring song. Seriously. I mean, I've always disliked it and got bored of it to listen to, but playing it is just... horrid. Still, it's not the peice that matters, it's how well its recorded so I'm not bothered too much.

[Pressure]

That wasn't me playing. That was my brother.

[madog]

Too bad no one listens to speed metal.

Much like Slacker, I have no coordination with guitars. I got an acoustic, but I can't play very well. I should get lessons, but I doubt they'd be any use.

I listen to speed/power metal you asshole. Dragonforce ftw.

[Pressure]

Oh you!

This fool doesnt know what he's talking about, playing guitar is actually really fun once you get into it. Otherwise it just doesnt work if you arent feeling the music.

I think it's pretty innovative myself.

[hneaz]

That was... not very interesting.

Tom Morello is one of the best guitarists ever. He is still amazing for Audioslave, but i prefer RATM....

[Hectic Glenn]

Thats the general concensus, i can't stand Chris' voice so i can't listen to AS, RATM and Jach is better....it just is. My friend who has a Tom Morrelo obsession learnt how to play all those solos and mimic those effects too, it's very impressive, like the wah wah at the start of Bulls on Parade. The distortion, phaser & another one i can't remember. That initially got me into RATM.

[TheAntipop]

RATM solos are probably the only things I learn/play solo wise. Everything else bores me, for the most part. Play abit of some At the Drive-In solos, but they don't bother with them much, which is fine with me.

How about this kid?That kid isn't that much better than I am. Shredding like that is a lot easier than you think. I can't go over the neck as much, but I can go just as fast, and if anything, he's sloppy compared to me. It's not hard.

[hneaz]

Post video!!

[Pressure]

Sometimes at night I can't sleep and I sit in my bed wondering why. I think I've finally found the answer. I'm not as good as sea at guitar, nor will I ever be. He is king.

[-Psy-]

I hate Shredding.

It's not the fact that I can't actually do it, it's just that it doesn't sound nice to me at all. I'm more of a melodic person tbh.

[sea]

It's not the fact that I can't actually do it, it's just that it doesn't sound nice to me at all. I'm more of a melodic person tbh.Shredding can be incredibly melodic - just listen to any Necrophagist solo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owNBEShKFqs). However, a lot of guitarists just don't know when to slow down, and shredding without melody can be really, really shitty if not done in the right context.

I don't have any videos of myself because I'm just not that good. I admitted to not being as good as that guy - I just said I could play at the same speed, which is not difficult. Once you get the picking motion down it's just a matter of being able to learn the scales and play through them really fast, which, again, takes time, but is not particularly difficult.

Granted, if you don't normally use fast picking, tremelo picking, etc. then I can see why playing quickly could be quite unsettling. I do assume that you all know how to do alternate picking... some people I know have been playing for longer than I have and had no idea about it; once they learned it, they improved their playing by a very large amount very quickly.
