Members Virgman Posted April 19, 2009 Members Posted April 19, 2009 I'm really fast but I sound like sh*t. Help me. Don't tell me to use a metronome.
Members bigboy_78 Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 You can't be fast and sound bad can you?? I thought fast = good, man I'm giving up guitar to play synth.
Members Jasco Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 For you Virg, it's hopeless. At least you're asking the right question though.
Members mosiddiqi Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 In your case virgman...just add more distortion..it'll fix everything.
Members Phlat Phive Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 Speed = emotion. If you're playing fast, you don't need anything else.

Members Virgman Posted April 20, 2009 Author Members Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks to all. This forum is the greatest.
Members Pascal Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 Slow down.Think sounds rather than runs. And timing.
Members Echoes22 Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 so you want advice on how to get better but you want to bypass using a metronome ? The first thing I notice when I play with another musician is whether or not they practice to a metronome.
Members Virgman Posted April 20, 2009 Author Members Posted April 20, 2009 The first thing I notice when I play with another musician is whether or not they practice to a metronome. I told you I don't want to hear about metronomes. Now tell me something useful.
Members 1001gear Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 Even tougher and more common is "I'm like silk lightning on guitar but I totally suck at music" - course none of them seem to be aware of the later qualification.

It has to be the best advice I've ever given. So true. Especially the vnvnvnvnvnvnvnvnvnafo'n/xcqegih part, that really can't be stressed enough. That, and using a metronome, of course.
Members Knottyhed Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 I'm really fast but I sound like sh*t. Help me. Don't tell me to use a metronome. If you sound like sh*t it is because you are not fast enough. Spend more time doing killer speed exercises and ocillate your pick more. Don't listen to these guys, they're holding out on you.

Members girevik Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 You don't have the special genetics needed to play well. Sorry, man.
Members Virgman Posted April 20, 2009 Author Members Posted April 20, 2009 You don't have the special genetics needed to play well.Sorry, man. I don't want to hear that crap.
Members Knottyhed Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 Come on guys, stop dicking around and tell him how to play fast... I think he's dangled long enough?
Members Virgman Posted April 20, 2009 Author Members Posted April 20, 2009 Come on guys, stop dicking around and tell him how to play fast... I think he's dangled long enough? No, I know how to play fast. Playing fast is easy. All you do is play really fast. I just can't play well. And don't give me that BS about "playing slowly". Why would I want to play slow? That's for sissies. If you guys can't help me then I'm going over to Ultimate Guitar.
Members girevik Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 I don't want to hear that crap. De Nile is a powerful river. Just give it, dude. Play video games instead. You'll never play well coz u chose the wrong parents.

You'll never play well coz u chose the wrong parents. F*ck it. I'm gonna jump off a radio tower. If I can't shred I'd rather be dead. Sayonara Yngwie Malmsteen. My blood is on your hands.
Members mosiddiqi Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 The problem is, and you're not going to want to hear this...you're not playing fast enough....the solution to you playing better...is play faster.
Members Virgman Posted April 20, 2009 Author Members Posted April 20, 2009 The problem is, and you're not going to want to hear this...you're not playing fast enough....the solution to you playing better...is play faster. I already play 30nps. I sound like a tipped over beehive. It's too late for me. Maybe you can save others.
Members Echoes22 Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 I told you I don't want to hear about metronomes.Now tell me something useful. alright... here is something useful. With 8000 posts, you should probably give up if you need people to tell you how to play.
Members bigboy_78 Posted April 20, 2009 Members Posted April 20, 2009 Maybe you need more gear. Maybe you sound like arse because your amp can't keep up. What colour is your guitar? That guy from Racer X plays a hot pink one that sounds pretty fast.
