Music Mayhem

I don't bash the fans either, just the band. Though there are some rather non intelligent fans of there's who believe they are gods and shenanigans like that.

I play guitar right now I have a dean vendetta. Im looking to get a decent acoustic and some sort of synthesizer.

Well, I've played Guitar for 2 years, Drums for 5.

My Guitar's a Fender Bullet Strat, but I've never really played any other brands before so i don't know how it stacks up against them. I personally think it's a great guitar, lol. I play it alot more than my drums at the moment cause I'm still learning.

My Drum Kit's a Pearl standard kit, 1 kick, snare and 3 toms, and I did have a ride and crash cymbal but I destroyed my ride... By accidentally throwing it across my room... I'm going to get a double bass pedal when I can afford it (Probably never, they're ~$400 Aus for a half-decent one) they're lots of fun.

That's about it from me, lol.

So your a drummer eh? I started messing around on my brothers kit this week. It's good fun, difficult but fun. I'm having difficulty with the kick drum, mainly because I think I'm hitting it when I'm not lol.

Lol, it is a bit tricky at first, you just have to laern to move each of your arms and legs independantly. Once you've got that worked out it gets alot easier.

Thats what my brother says. I'm picking up on it fairly quick. I'm good at blast beats so far.

Cool. When i started off I couldn't even get a standard kick, snare, kick, snare beat, now I can do just about any beat.

I can do said beat until I think about it lol.

lol i need to start learning drums...the music scene in athens is crazy...i know so many guitarists and bass players and not a single drummer. there are probably 25+ bass guitar duos or bass guitar guitar trios here. i've tried just drumming along to songs in my room on like my desk and stuff, it's so hard. maybe if i actually practice though i could start to get the "move arms and legs independently" thing.

i play guitar, namely my beloved Epiphone Korina Explorer, but I also have a beginners Ibanez GRX70, not bad for what it cost, I use it as a drop A guitar with .13 strings on it, the neck can't stand the strain in anything above standard C so it's quite the beast to play

i play the bass, it is a cruiser cx100.. i think i have an ashton ba150 amp, good for annoying neighbours and parents!!

and i usually use my toneport for effects

I play the geetar and the bass.

My gear:

Epiphone SG400
Ibanez BTB405QM
Yamaha RBX270
Hohner P bass (fretless)
Ashdown Electric Blue 180 Combo
Roland cube 60/30 (guitar/bass)
Korg AX10B FX Pedal

I always have a mess about on drums at band practices, and can't quite get the swing of controlling my limbs independantly yet!

I'm not overly keen to be honest.

It's damn good if you want to get some smooth sounds, as when you slide a note, it's sounds absolutely perfect.

However, due to the lack of frets it does encourage sloppy playing, and I don't know if it's just my bass not set up 100%, but it doesn't really produce clean notes when fretting in a single place. I get something similar to fret-buzz, but minus the frets!

Although to be fair, I only really bought it for novelty purpose, I never play it all that much, my 5 string has my devotion!

I've played guitar for almost a year now and I own a Morgan stratocaster. It's tbh a piece of crap, but I got this local luthier to set it up and intonate it correctly, so now it works for all I want to do with it. I also have an acoustic that I borrowed from a cousin of mine that is a bassist. It's a Vantage. Which I have never heard of before. It plays wonderfully tho, even tho the steel strings are a little hard to press down if I'm doing classical stuff...

Eh, I play all kinds of instruments.

I started Piano since I was five, and I currently have some weird organ thing, that I'm too lazy to get up and actually look at for the brand and model.

I began guitar when I started highschool.. I started on an Ibanez acoustic that my dad has had since the sixties. It's from before the Japanese owned the company.d t

I then bought an Ovation Balladeer.

And for electrics, I play a Gibson SG Standard in ebony finish. I painted the pick guard at some point when I was bored.

I play piano (13 years), violin (10 years), guitar (9 years). I can play bass and drums, but I've not had lessons.

I also have perfect pitch, and I can play by ear. so I can usually pick up other instruments. but I don't pretend to be good...

^Playing by ear eh? Lucky, I've been working on that since I started playing. Getting better

gah i wish i had perfect pitch...that would make things so much easier...

but yea i'm def getting better...i hope...i can figure out a few different songs by ear
