thisnameistaken Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Take a huge pedal board, wear a lab coat and safety glasses, and make horrendous noises while occasionally making notes on a clipboard. Quote
Rayman Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 A Steve Lawson style loop session is what I'd have a go at. Quote
KASH Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 just pluck the E string and say it's a simulation of a machinegun and then make the statement - it's actually a protest against the war allover the world :brow: Quote

tayste_2000 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 But looping is not the sort of thing where you can just go yeah I'll have a bash at that can take a lot of practice. But Higgie is selling his Headrush E2 which will provide you with some pretty simple stuff if you want to do a 4 chord progression and noodle over it. Quote

lowdown Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 What about trying something musical. Forget pedals , loops and noise, everybody is doing that. Doing something musical might make someone sit up and listen, and think F**k, i like this guy, he is original... Garry Quote
