I have played a Strat for several years, but always wanted a B.C. Rich because of the great metal sound. I just don't really know much about about the quality or how they hold up. Anyone have any details on common problems or which models to avoid?
@CoolBreezeClub I have to BC rich:s and i've never had a problem with either of them. Just make sure when u buy one that it doesnt contain BDSM humbuckers because thats the budget ones, they really suck. I personally love the Rockfield mics, especially the WMD models with the rockfield fatass humbucker, i think there are a few with dimarzios and seymor duncans too, also ofc, EMG. They are really good in quality and sound if you compare other guitar brands around the same prices
pat o brien really isnt that great of a lead player..dont get me wrong, i couldnt play like him...but as far as metal lead playing goes he doesnt sound that great....def not as good as say chuck, or trey azagthoth or michael amott....but i digress...
@FUR10USW45P Nothings outdated if it sounds good. The Strat is 57 years old now and is considered the bestby many guitars. Just because it doesnt have active pups and a goddamn floyd rose wanker bar doesnt mean its outdated. Sorry to be so offensive, i just hate that fucking shredders know what is good and what aint. If its got some sort of feel that hits youre soul and just warms you up then its a good instrument. Then again, music should be slow enough to make sense. Peace. -Cody Lee Meece
@FUR10USW45P That´s actually what i did .... i made a black telecaster matt black ,reverse headstock and white Dimarzio X2N pickup. <- chuck schuldiner telecaster!!!!
With all respect, I hate BC Rich guitars a lot but i played the Schuldiner Tribute guitar a week ago and it is one of the finest guitars i've ever played ^^.
dont know how to say this ... but this guy is really underated amog guitar players..
i compre his solos and compositions to many metal solos ,, and his sense of phrasing is excellent( not comparing with neoclassic virtuosos like becker or friedman) just with death metal guys or thrash... i whish on internet there were more material
naw man i used to suck too. it takes time, but you'll get there. theres always a discouragement phase just before people get good though, keep that in mind
@thejailbirdz dude hang in there i i never had time or couldnt get motivated to play when 33 came around in oct 08 i learn bout great gear saved went broke but have everything i need but a new bc rich stealth lol i practice even shity mooded cause i want it bad u dont live forever just grind dude it will be addictive once u start try harder
he shows it more than fully in CC songs, maybe you're just so bad you couldn't see it. the songs that he personally wrote are the most technical CC stuff ever (e.g. frantic disembowelment, hatchet to the head, blunt force castration etc)
nah, i got like a new $700 dollar NT Jr. Flying V, nearly like Pat's main guitar and its really really nice, except i would switch the pick ups with EMGs
which most people get..i know any company can make a solid guitar..but so many 13 year old clowns go to ozzfest, then see a bc rich..then all of the sudden they think they have an amazing guitar because how it looks..but the big sellers are terrible
I talked to my friend the other day who met Pat at the Corpse concert in Vancouver, my friend gave him props on it and he's just like "yeah, whatever, i was hungover"
a drop tuning is where the low E string is tuned down two steps further than the rest. So tune your guitar in STANDARD tuning C. Then drop the low string E from C to B (2 steps)
He does great solos in CC, take another listen. I guess people don't really notice his leads because they are not long drawn-out wankery, just brutal leads that fit each song.
he does.......but they play in like drop B......so really the solos don't sound much like high pictched......or melodic.......and he palm mutes some solos
I can't lay my finger on it but, his style sounds really weird. Maybe it's his tone but, I only hear it when he plays legato phrases. My friend gets that sound sometimes when he legatos but, I can't figure out what it is.
Yeah, he plays mostly in diminished. I asked him why his solos are always so crazy, he says he switches between diminished and augmented a lot but prefers diminished.
When Chuck passed, I emailed his mom who replied to me about three times. I sent her pics I took in 1990, well, one I had from a local appearance with our own Disturbed! ...and Sepultura/Sadus/Pestilence!
It is crazy when I think about it now. I bought a snake skin painted B.C. Rich assassin, USA made for $800 at a music store somewhere in BF Alabama in 1989. The second best guitar I ever owned. That guitar today would list for a couple grand because it was a USA made BC Rich. Kind of pisses me off because USA made guitars are so expensive now and they used to not be that way. I should never have sold that guitar but I wanted a Jackson soloist (my best guitar ever) so it was somewhat okay.
he used to be in Nevermore, so I'm guessing he must be able to sweep like a mofo.....Loomis couldn't have done all of the sweeping live....well actually I bet he could ....but still.
I must say my hair looks the same but darker than Pats. Man he is very talented! I had no idea he could shred like that. Alex Webster is talented too from the videos I've seen of him. Well Corpsegrinder is a Warcraft fanatic lol. I must say my hair looks the same but darker than Pats

a drop tuning is where the low E string is tuned down two steps further than the rest. So tune your guitar in STANDARD tuning C. Then drop the low string E from C to B (2 steps)
jacksonthrasher 2 years ago
C# standard tuning actually, and actually just one step. (One step = 2 notes, or frets, or whatever)
metalanarchist465 2 years ago
yeah, i play guitar very well but i never got tuition on the proper names of each tuning and i forgot completely that 1 step was 2 notes.

It's not always two frets.
The E to the F is one fret, and same with the B to the C or something
AKMETAL666 2 years ago
what does play in drop b mean?

it means you tune your guitar down to B (which ich pretty low) instead of the regular E-Tuning... sounds pretty evil ;)
