Another noob!

Post by mak »

Well hello! :D

I stumbled across this forum doing a search for song covers, it seems altogether a much friendlier, more helpful place than the usual guitar forum suspects (harmony central being a huge jungle of flame wars).

BTW, i thought the 'Holy Wars' cover solos were excellently done Bigpops!

About me then...

I'm sixteen and have played for almost 6 years now ( :shock: wow that always amazes me, a long time, for me anyhow :wink: )
I have an ibanez s370 (discontinued :( ), but scalloped and with tone zone and air norton pups slapped in :twisted: ) and a rubbish old tanglewood nevada, also scalloped, i used it as an experiment...

Also, a cheap and nasty peavey rage 158 amp which i dont use for recording, and a korg axg1500. This pedal IMO has great sounds, really versatile. For recording, i just stick it into the PC so excuse the bad quality :wink:

Anyway, enough rambling! I look forward to learning some stuff i would never think of otherwise, and i have some ideas for when it comes to my turn aswell 8) . This forum is unlike any other i've seen and i'm sure it'll be great to be here!
I hope i can play the stuff... :bg: If not, well thats what this forum is for, right?

So yeah, hopefully you'll see more of me, but if not, well, it is the GCSEs :roll:

NB, do you use guitar pro or something for the backings?

Hello, and welcome.

Feel free to dive straight into Crazy train.

The backing tracks are normally guitar pro tracks with the guitar removed, and exported as a midi. Unless ofcourse, someone has something better (eg, from a magazine cover CD).

I look forward to hearing you play. You should be pretty good, if you've been playing 6 years by your age.

Thanks, i'll see about guitar pro. I once had a demo of GP3, but that was a little while back :?

I see Crazy Train is at early stages, so not too much catching up to do then :)

Hey buds!!

The moment I finished listening to 'When the Levee Breaks', I was jettisoned into the throes of extacy which I channelised into this review of the album. Enjoy!! :D

UNTITLED
The fourth installment of the continuing Led-Zeppelin saga is different. The album featuring cult-classics like “Black Dogâ€
