Haha, did he play any sick blues licks?

No but he was interviewed under a tarp (lol) at the infield in Daytona (so, outside, very loud, lots going on in the background) and the whole time he is wearing a Santana model strapped to his body. He doesn't play the guitar. He doesn't even make reference to the guitar. He just wore it while he talked like a retarded rear end in a top hat who takes his dentist guitar everywhere he goes.

Yeah, the fretlight seems like a better thing if you really need an aid like that.

Stunning, durable, and tone-friendly PRS V12 finish

The Custom 22 is finished in a stunning PRS V12 finish. If you're seeking vintage vibe with a sophisticated edge, then your search ends here. Over a decade in the making, PRS's V12 finish blends the thin, resonance-enhancing characteristics of a nitro finish with the non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. It has a classic feel all its own that makes your axe feel like an old instrument - one that will look flawless for years to come.

my dad got a fretlight and apparently the quality out of the box is dogshit but after replacing the pots/sanding the frets/adjusting the action/adjusting the intonation/some other poo poo that i forget, it's pretty playable

also this was the second fretlight he got. he bought one earlier and returned it because it had the same problem and he assumed he got a dud model, then the replacement came in and it was the exact same poo poo. the particular model was claimed to have been used in demonstration videos

they charge 400 for that poo poo lmao

Was poking round the UltimateMetal forums and came across this:

"I write using tab software. I usually tab everything out in Powertab or Guitar Pro first, write the bass, anywhere from one to three guitars, and drums. I decide beforehand whether I want a part to be distorted or acoustic.

I never really liked writing stuff by sitting around and playing a guitar. I mean, you come up with some cool riffs and things, but I find that, for me at least, it's easier to put thought into these things when it's just me and a computer."

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty much all in the box recording/ampsim wise, my drums are all Midi, and I'll sometimes write synth parts like this rather than playing but what the gently caress?

Am I old? Is this, in fact, how I Dj0nt? By foregoing the guitar until its necessary? :confused:

The spiky one.
Nothing wrong with it for writing to a system. If you know a little theory you can put down a basic progression, bass line and melody. Then play it and change parts according to feel, add dynamics and expression.

Then again I'm a hobbiest with a background in iterative design where it pays to get a rough outline written down before a sketch, even if the finished design changes considerably. Just watch out for scope creep.

Nobody wants a toilet seat that doubles as a video phone, just as a 15 minute shred solo full of pinch harmonocs isn't always ideal jammed in the middle of a classic punk track.

I usually write in my head or chart on paper, and then check it on a guitar or piano later when I get chance. It depends on how into theory you want to be and if you have much of an ear for intervals. :shrug:

This is how everyone I know who makes djent writes, yes, and coincidentally one of the reasons I stopped playing in "heavy" bands

I don't get whats hard/bad/not fun about jamming riffs with real people, rather than sending everyone tabs and sitting at home.

Who cares about theory, does riff sound good y/n is enough for most poo poo.

i mean yeah i used to have a little 4 track i'd record bits and pieces and sometimes jot down quick tabs so i don't forget stuff

i just can't see writing an entire song from scratch entirely in guitar pro, not at least without playing through things first before writing it down

also it seems way quicker to just write it down on paper/record

on the other hand all of jay randall's stuff in agoraphobic nosebleed is written in a mod tracker so who knows
