John Petrucci - He's Going To Kill You

There's not a great deal of emotion, but Jordan Rudess is the best pianist in any form of pop, or rock, John Petrucci is a technically amazing guitarist, John Myung is a damn good bassist, Portnoy is a brilliant drummer, that singers a total idiot, he can't sing for sh*t. They have some absoloute masterpeices.

I don't Satriani, or Vai to be honest.

DJ Khaled appreaciation thread

It wasn't until today I finally realised what an amazing artists Dj Khaled is, he's just brilliant, nobody compares to him, and his sheer level of ability, and taste, and talent.

I love memes personally, and this guy is a living, breathing one. I thought all his random snapchat crap was funny, but when I heard today that he posted a picture of his credit card,and had 80,000 $ taken within 30 secs, I just died.

Favorite Sandwiches

It's uncultured, but in England we don't really have a sandwhich culture, but I really love a kind of full fried breakfast in a sandwich: i.e. sausages, fried eggs, black pudding, mushrooms, etc.

By the time I'm out of hospital I can have another one. Let the DJ Khaled memes begin!

I know it seems obviously not, but your parents didn't seriously call you Boom did they?

R.I.P David Bowie

First of all, I am in no way being disrespectful to the David, and mean no offense.

What if he's not dead? Me, and a few friends were talking about this the other day, and I brought it up, because Lazarus didn't die permanently at least, in the Bible, he was dead for a bit, then came back. Also some of his relatives were tweeting #rise.

I know it's highly unlikely, and I can't find anyone else whose thought of this, because there's simply so much to go against it; David would never do a stunt like this, it's not his style, It would've got out sooner, the list goes on.

What do you thin...

What's that? He's living in Cuba, with Tupac? Attacked by the Illuminati? Jet fuel can't melt steel beams? Huh? Yes I am wearing my tinfoil hat!

Your musician pet peeves

Kanye West claimed David Bowie was influence on him. I laughed so hard I nearly chucked milk on the TV

Today is beatiful because I discovered Richie Kotzen

Yeah the winery dogs, they're a great band. Billy is one of the best bassists alive, Portnoy is quite possibly the best drummer, and Kotzen isn't bad himself. Classic Rock (Kotzen, I guess)meets annoyingly good technically ability (Portnoy, and Sheehan). I have no idea what genre it is, though on paper it's math rock.

John Petrucci - He's Going To Kill You

Why have you not taught him the powers of dream theatre? I need to buy their latest album, it sounds like it's amazing.

John Petrucci - He's Going To Kill You

I know these are amazing! theyre just beautiful! I keep coming back to them every few months. Have you seen this:

Do you know anything similar to these two, I've run out of guitar comedy, I've finished the inbetweeners, and all the H3H3 videos. I need more comedy stuff to binge.

Amps :D

Bugera's are pretty nice, I've only played one, and I can't remember what it was, though it was most likely a G20. I love the AC15, and personally out of those that'd be my pick, I've heard the Laney's alright, and I've never played any Jet City amps, I only know theyre built by Soldano I think, so they can't be terrible.

Knowledgeable Acustic Guitarists Here Please

That's a Gibson L1 , and maybe a 70s/80s Yamaha. I don't know really, I'm not overly knowledgable on the acoustic side of the spectrum, usually I just use my boss ac-2, as my takamine has action higher than snoop dogg.

R.I.P David Bowie

I'm so confused, didn't he only just release his new album, and he's dead! I must admit I found him, and the glam scene as a whole a bit weird, but he did have some great songs. Dancing in the streets is a guilty pleasure of mine.

a giant thread about OD, Distortion and Fuzz!

Right since, I'm getting rid of my horrendous OD, modulation pedal, and amp I could to do with an OD, and a DS. I was looking at those dual tone city things, do you know if any of them have the ability to do really heavy distortion as well, as a OD, at the same time, using the boost function? The soldano one might, but I'm not driving to bloody Guildford just to test them out.

If anybody is interesting I'm selling my line 6 spider, behringer OD, and chord chorus for £45,000 each. Each have a uniquely low quality, and are a great find.

Any opinions, or experience,etc. on victory, bugera, Engl, and Hampstead amps.

Also can you guys fill me in on Soldano. What do you think of them history, who uses them,etc.

How to get this sound? - Post here to get ideas on how your favourite band gets their sound.

Okay I know it's not strictly guitar, and bass (Or anything to do with it), but how do you get that synth sound at 2.18. Those metallic scratchy bits.

Bass Big Muff or Nano Bass Big Muff?

I don't know if the it's the same with bass, and guitar muffs, but in my experience the smaller the muffs the worst sound. The nano Big Muff Pi, is ridiculously tinny, and horrible, where as the full size is the nicest. I have the tone wicker model which I think is a little big muff with the billy corgan mod (I love SP so I use it for that), an a high pass filter

On Fender Bridges

This has been going on for a while, but I won't go into details, coz others already have.

My jazzmaster has a really weird bridge I don't know if it's on any other Fenders, have a look. It's hardtail, but I've never seen it on another r guitar, and I have no idea what it's advantages are

P-rails

Jack of all trades master of none. I think it's basically just a single pickup that contains a middle of the road single coil, middle of the road humbucker, and a middle of the road p90. How does the switching work anyway? Is it a separate toggle?

Solo compilation/EB song

Hey y'all I haven't been around to much lately as I decided to get off EB, and do some stuff in real life, as well as realising I should actually learn some more guitar stuff techniques, and scales, etc, as opposed to sitting around discussing them, and other useless things with middle aged guitar nerds over a forum. So in short I've been doing lots of the technique stuff I've asked about stuff.

I have a feeling that the EB forum is slowing down, what with me, and Liam both elsewhere most of the time (To of the biggest addicts). I had an epiphany, and Nick told Liam to spend time with his kids.

No offense was meant by this.

As for the tempos, I thought 120bpm was just a nice regular tempo, with 60bp,m being half of that for a breakdown/slow bit. Cn't remember about 109.

Ok the synths are in, it's a kind of moogy bass thin I did with this great, free VSTi. It's got fairly awkward timing I guess, but it's nothing too hard to work out. Essentially all you have to do is place it a little after the line starts, and it should last for four lines, or just a segment. I can upload a context recording if you want me too, but can you put that soundcloud recording into the dropbox.

I just wrote a synth part in Bb major, which seemed to fit quite nicely with the first section.

I can certainly try. What lyric is that? Is the song in a key? I don't know how to find the folder you've added me to?
