Cutter Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 3 Oct 2006, 14:47 · [Salvaged from Archive] So who are the musicians amongst us? Any of you use Guitar Pro? I'm mainly a guitarist but I play drums and other instruments as well. Been self-teaching since I was about 13 so it's been about 15 years so far :) I was wondering if anyone has any original music they could post - if enough people respond I'll whack some of my stuff up here... Rock on...

Cutter Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 4 Oct 2006, 01:26 · [Salvaged from Archive] As a complete forum noob I'm not sure about posting links/advertising so I'll play it safe fer now lol...Guitar Pro - all the people picking up guitar.. this is the best self teaching tool I have used by far... Look it up! I'm currently working on converting some of my songs to MP3 and finding somewhere to host em. Personally I think the hardest thing about forming a band is finding people who are as devoted/likeminded musically as one's self. Well that's been my experience anyhoo... My suggestion to anyone looking to form a band, try to find a music academy that has some sort of program that gets muso's together in a learning environment. This way you will be meeting people with whom you share musical interests and (just as importantly) are on par with on a skill level. Remember, you never stop learning when it comes to music. (Suppose that applies to many things). Again.. Rock on!! :D

Rocker Kid Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 4 Oct 2006, 03:53 · [Salvaged from Archive] Teach yourself! That's what I did. I'll give it a shot... Or I could just wander down to Guitar Center and find a few guitar players I've seen around school and maybe one of them could give me a few pointers. Thanks.
AllisterFiend Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 4 Oct 2006, 04:21 · [Salvaged from Archive] From my experience... I think someone would do a lot better of teaching themselves... I've tried teaching people how to play and it seems like you learn twice as fast teaching yourself than by getting someone else to... But you have to have some true dedication if you want to become good, though... I practice sometimes two or three hours a day... and usually only stop when my fingers start hurting where I can't play anymore... What kind of guitars you got Cutter?

You learned how to play guitar and base well enough to be in a band in only 2 years? You MUST practice like crazy. If I actually knew you like not from the internet I'd be in your band in a heartbeat. You have some serious dedication. That's really admirable.
Cutter Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 4 Oct 2006, 04:42 · [Salvaged from Archive] What you need is a casual teacher who is self taught themselves Also teaching guitar and teaching music are two different things. I have taught many people ranging from ages 6-50 both in guitar as an instrument and musical theory itself. The thing a lot of "trained" teachers forget is that they were beginners once too. I find the main problem is that people get disheartened waaaaay to quickly when they don't instantly pick up that riff they want to learn. That takes years of constant practice. I have to keep reminding my students that there was a time when I couldn't do it myself. And I remember the frustrations lol! My advice... pick a song you love (if possible in a standard tuning) find the Tablature sheet and learn it. You will probably get sick of the song in the process but you will have learned a lot of techniques that will be used all the time. It's a lot faster though when you have someone who can play it doing so in front of you. My guitars are - ESP AX50 - Mid-range in price. Spider shape (Warlock style) in matte black. Ranger Something or other - Shitty Strat copy I learned heaps of what I know on so still have lying around. My Stepdad also has a classic Strat that I use from time to time when I see him - yes, it is sweeeeeeet...... Harmonics make my nether-regions twitch :wink: Hey and any musical questions any of ya might have... I don't proclaim to be an expert but I can give educated answers.. Wow long post sorry!!! :oops:

It's 100% original - no sampling, I wrote every note myself. It sounds synthetic because it is lol.. Hey I can't afford all the gear to fully produce the damn thing :P Not for everyone I know... Lost a bit of quality in the mix through the conversion to mp3. http://www.savefile.com/files/130810 7.7 meg... came thru in about a minute and a half for me.

AllisterFiend Salvaged from Archive	Posted: 4 Oct 2006, 23:37 · [Salvaged from Archive] Sunday (maybe)... Me and a few friends might have our first meeting and see if we can jam together and maybe form a band!! :D Me (Guitar) My best friend (bass) might show up at my other friends house that plays drums... I think I've found someone that can sing, but he is on probation... and my other friend plays guitar but... his mom found his bong or something so he's probably going to be grounded for a while... :lol: I'm excited.
