What are the tabs for vr training on the guitar

[Mardock6911]

MAJOR PROPS on your guitar skillz!!! And your writing, I have listened to your original songs, you are amazing man.

My question is: I know you said you've been playing about 6 years, but at what point did you attempt to learn sweep picking? And solos in general? I've seen your sweeping video and you are a BADASS.

Any suggestions of what to learn/practice? I've been playing about 9 months & learned most Metallica riffs, just the Fade to Black solo, but I'm not sure what to try next.

I started out learning electric guitar like 10 months ago and i would like to know how you started playing and how it was at the beginning.

The second thing i would like to know is how youre band started off, cuz my buddies and I were a band (at least we tried), but we broke up soon, cuz of personal issues of each of us but we want to get back together and play music again.

Thanks for your interest and excuse my writing but Im from Germany.

[rpgmusician]

I got a few questions:

How do you record your guitar? Do you go straight through the computer or what?

How do you get rid of all like fret noise/background noise/feedback when you are recording your guitar?

What audio software do you use to make all of your tracks? With like recording and making background tracks.

Thanks man, you are awesome :D

[Frozzenn]

Hi Daniel! Here's a couple questions that may interest you, you can choose from them if you'd like!

In your opinion, how important is learning scales?

How did you manage to get up to "solo-speed" ?

Is it NECESSARY to use alternate picking at fast speeds? I use downstrokes primarily, but everyone insists I should learn to properly alternate pick.

how do you achieve those "screaming" pinch harmonics? What's the best technique? Mine always sound kind of dampened.

[AC1DST0RM]

Do you have a faverouite power metal band?

[simbob2]

(The answer this this, is 42.)

[nuperu]

[SaiyanKirby]

How long have you been growing your hair?

What's your favorite song that you can play?

[ZachD8]

How long have you been playing guitar?

Favoite FF Game? (i'm guessing 7)

and Do you play any other interments?

[jere116]

Will you continue playing more game soundtracks like Final fantasy battles and that kind of songs?

[nppsf]

oh another question for you, do you also do any of the background music that plays along with your guitar? If not where do you get the additional music?

[Gearz86]

A couple of his vids state that he does make the background music.

[nppsf]

Well being a big fan of video game music that is redone with guitars and stuff as well as the work you have done I was just wondering if you plan on doing any more Final fantasy songs? I personally think you could make some of those sound really good, just like the FFVII battle theme you did (yes it's one of my favorite games of all time). Anyways other that that keep up the good work.

[jellytroid]

How long have you been playing?

[YeahBuddy1021]

What's your favorite game of all time?

[soundofimpalement]

[coolcatman22]

What is your favorite instrument, not necessarily from the ones you own.

[DLPBurke]

Will you be placing the computer game music on a cd or releasing them for free via web. The youtube quality isn't how it originally sounded and it would be good to get hands on near the original quality :)

Was it smart to make this video because you have 90 questions per day? But it's awesome you're doing this. =)

And the real question: How lang have you been playing the guitar?

[fool1001]

Me and my band recorded a demo today (I hope to later post it onto your forum) but I still don't feel it's 100% yet. How do you and the rest of your band keep time together, do you start recording drums first?

[HaterGamer]

[JgGooden]

Daniel, do you play drums as well? In most of your videos it says the backtracking and stuff was done also by you, so can you play drums, or do you get someone you know to play it, you just tell them what to play?

[NumenDivinum]

How would you rationalize the use of harsh vocals?

[sjulen]

[eltigrito2000]

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. You obviously do a lot of video game theme covers. Why not do some regular band covers? Your in a band called Adversary, your very good might i add, do video games inspire you to write your music?And how long have you been playing guitar?

[iownjoo]

Ah, I gotta question.
