There is nothing wrong with letting songs you hear come up in your playing. Most of the greats I can think of has admitted to "ripping off" parts of songs and putting them in their own hit songs. Its kind of a flaw if you shut yourself off to other peoples music influencing yours.
at least in the 1970s musos tended to have some humility, but you two are like some absurd mutual admiration society. Im tired of your massive planet sized egos. It's like you want to catipult yourselves to glory. The main doctrine you live by is "I am the best shredder on da planet".
You are the type that would probably mock a "real" guitarist like Rory Gallagher. get off you fucking high horses.
Gallagher would have shredded you both in history
fact- im related to the cannibal corpse bass player by marriage. he is married my cousins aunt i believe. im not even a cannibal corpse fan though haha i love death metal, but not them haha
that looks like so much fun! :O Discovering guitars at 30 i dont have many friends playing it ....... well one, but he's very far away >.<
And Monkey, that thing about not listening to others, you're not alone. When friends tell me to listen to some songs i go "No, get out of my head!!" .. maybe a little less mad, but still :d
Ben mkes me feel terrible about myself, i've been playing the same amount of time, i'm only 1 year younger than him, and he is WAY too good at guitar. he must practise A LOT.
Ben is actually awesome, his picking reminds me a lot of Gus G. Maybe I should try holding less of the pick so I can be awesome too... I always pick as if I'm about to squeal.
@DragonSuushi Haha yeah I know how it is mate =) I used to be the same, love ma pinches =D but I don't do them so much anymore, but that's my style and it's difficult to change...but meh I'll give it a try
picking like he does the first 20 seconds... does that go from the wrist or from the elbow? man i'm really going to have to practice alot more to become fast and economic like that. you got yourself a good artist, Rob.
that scale you both did but Chappers played on higher note.. sounded fucking cool
what guitar did he play at the end ?
