This is getting entertaining FWIW, I agree with Foxen

You'd be surprised how many guitarists don't! Although one method a guitarist I worked with meant that he could repair strings... that was odd!

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1338384207' post='1673629'] Oof. No, don't take me along to deal with this one. Can someone say what I want to say, please; I won't say it, as it'll get my goat [/quote] Quiche You're welcome

It also depended on whether you strung up the guitar right as well

Check youtube otherwise Also consider whether you would like lessons or not. Don't forget to come to bass bashes

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1338378705' post='1673490'] I've got a Yamaha EZ-EG which is a similar sort of thing. It's pretty crap as a guitar substitute, but brilliant as a MIDI controller. [/quote] Other than playing rockband with it I anticipate hours of fun I'm currently also in a keyboard based ballady type band where I'm writing tunes and now I can play this funky beast on stage too. Should get some funny looks

If you were to use some kind of breakdown then what about Sweet Home -> Hotel California

Ok.. that looks amazing, still don't regret it though

Yeah, hadn't heard of rocksmith. Is it another game?

I've bought one of these I'm learning guitar anyway, the GF wants to play more Rockband so I thought "what the hell", and bought one. Should arrive this week. Now... I hear you saying, that's not a real instrument BUT it is! I can plug it into my korg and shred through the midi cable for a giggle. More importantly, it'll then pass the midi through to protools and that means I can record midi from a guitar for only £80. So yeah, I'm happy anyway

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1338368536' post='1673257'] sounds like you have a hunch whats going on... [/quote] G# = ground hum/background noise

I swear by all of them

I think the problem here isn't so much what the guitarist done, instead it's the lack of communication. As to the parts, listen to the song instead of just the bass. It could well be that it DOES sound better. I've had to take a step back on a couple of my lines in realising that. It's a bit of an ego hit but it's not about my ego or anyone elses for that matter, I just want the songs to sound good. Sometimes that means not playing a fancy little run and sometimes it means playing your arse off with lines that you struggle with. I really suggest blind testing the tracks to someone that doesn't know them and ask what they think. Don't tell them to listen to the bass beforehand though. If you want to still be on the album (this would be my issue) re-record but with you playing the new parts if you agree they sound better. My guitarist suggests bass parts to me, I tweak and send them back, he listens and suggests, I listen and try etc... I then suggest slight changes to the guitar part and so on and so on. Overall, don't get down about it. Atleast there's some enthusiasm going on

Might be worth considering the ones which hold the body aswell. They can then go sideways on and look awesome

Hehe... "Pee-Bass"

DV are great, I bought a fair bit of studio gear through them with no problems. I also bought my Korg which has had to go back for repair twice through them and both times the service has been great

I'd play for a band that's happy to right the material I kinda do it the way you're suggesting with experiment fail but it's not planning on carrying on that way. If you're looking at playing something other than bass for that particular band then feel free to give me a shout

^Good Man! Wish I had your determination but I've let it slide a little bit lately.

Just a heads up, tuxguitar can open Guitarpro and Powertab files (also free). Which opens up the possibilities, I generally find the Guitarpro versions better quality tbh

^Dirty mind overload

Tenacious D next Tuesday

There was a thread somewhere with a huge list of luthiers that people recommend

I just practice the band songs at the moment. Other than that, I've been asked to audition for a band on Friday on keys so I need to do some of that. Oh and I'm teaching myself guitar now too... Also need to finish recording for one band Start recording for another Finish the first track on keyboard for another band Busy busy
