Members Papa Van Smack Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hi folks- Didn't see an introduction forum so I figured I'd throw something up. I'm a bedroom rockstar, I like to record and when I'm really really bored it sometimes goes up on youtube. Pretty low budget so far, don't really have any aspirations other than to enjoy my leisure time. I do like information and inspiration, so that's why I'm here. Feel free to rip apart my rig or playing, always open to constructive feedback. I sometimes play along w/ pop songs to practice, and then take whatever riffs came from that and fiddle with them to make them my own. I get a lot of fulfillment out of that. Lady GAGA has some good {censored} if you can play along. Been playing for about 5 years maybe, though not consecutively, in high school 10 years ago and then for the last 2 years straight. My favorite thing about playing is when you're writing something, something sparks, and it just goes on auto pilot and your hand and the guitar just take over and do it on their own. I'd really like to know how to tap that ability on command. It's only crept up on me 4 or 5 times in the last 2 years. I don't really know what my style is. Slash is my favorite(no flame, i loved estranged), but I probably play more like Steve Vai, on a bedroom level. I tend to gravitate towards power chords w/ a melodic lead that goes with it, and if that lead doesn't have a lot of bends, then I probably didn't play it. Blues rock/metal might be a good term. Rig:Cortez Les Paul copy, looks to be early 80's w/ Burstbucker Pro's installed(pic is my avatar)Peavey VTM 60(Crate Blue voodoo 60 that just sits there) both headsBlue Voodoo 4x12Boss ME-20, i don't use it anymore though [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members d_dave_c Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Welcome. I like the track you posted, but that chick started to freak me out a little bit. I feel like her boobs keep getting farther apart. it's an illusion. Why not just post an audio clip somewhere rather than a youtube with a static image?

Not too tech savvy over here, figuring out youtube was tough enough. plus it counts views, i like to follow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
