Blue Oyster Cult is underrated in my opinion.

Excellent band

 

Black Halo is awesome!

I have absolutely no friends and live in the middle of nowhere

DT, they can write lyrics that don't suck from time to time . I actually quite like Train of Thought

Queen - A Night at the Opera

 

I heard Bohemian Rhapsody all the way through for the first time today and had to have it

eh... Hail to the Thief has some superb material (stuff like "The Gloaming") but it also has some real stinkers (stuff like "I Will").

 

While it's (of course) more good than bad I'd still put it after OKC, Kid A, and In Rainbows

I'll suggest the Bends as well. Generally the album receives superb reviews (5's on nearly all of the Wiki links and amazon) and also I usually like starting into a band with their "breakthrough" album; and this is it.

 

Fake Plastic Trees and My Iron Lung are two good introductory downloads if you're curious

What the hell? some cops go on ego trips, that happens... check the fine amount and get some input from your lawyer.

 

Some of you are acting like total morons, honestly the "child ran over" and "truncheon shot" comments were totally ridiculous and inappropriate. It's a single goddamn "?" on a plate. No additonal stickers, likely no covering or even intruding on any of the numbers whatsoever. A slightly rude sounding "get it off your plate" would've sufficed. Honestly. I'd hate to talk about the criminal offense of J-walking with you guys ("Oh God what if it was someone with an AK running towards your unsuspecting family!? if they would've patiently used the crosswalk you could've got away lOLOLOLOL111!!!!")

 

If the cops in your area get confused between "GOTRUSH?" and "GOTRUSH" then in any of the uncalled for homicide/genocide situations proposed here you're completely screwed anyway.

Freewill easily

Well technically that would be "Between the Wheels", like 5 months ago (I'm a guitarist of 4 years) the first one I learned all but the solo to was "Subdivisions" the day I bought R30

BTW, the songs I listened to sound emo-ish to me. Whether they actually are or aren't would mean I'd have to care enough about emo (pro or con) to distinguish a difference.

Pink Floyd - Meddle

Men at Work - Business as Usual

The Decemberists - Picaresque

VT by alot. The lyrics are WAY better than S&A's (which are still excellent) and the hugely dense layered stuff combined with the intensely personal atmosphere just works for me (not to mention that every song has some sort of amazing hook(s)). A top 5 Rush release easily for me. Would likely be no. 2 to Power Windows if not for the production.

Well this is the way I was playing before(and how I'll play it until I can get it up to speed otherwise):

 

E-2-0------5-0-----2-0------5-3-0-----

B------3-0-----3-0------3-0--------3-0

 

By not picking up to the "E" and instead doing a pull off to the open "B" I simplified it. The real value in the video (to me) was seeing the different kinds of open chords and sus chords and how he approaches the solo... Its valuable not because I'm playing it his way, but because I opened myself up to a new perspective of looking at the guitar.

 

To PW: youre right except instead of hammering up to the 5th fret on the B string you pick the open E. Not that it matters, this is one instance where I think Roc is right and your way is more than fine.

Damn thanks man! I just bought the SoR one (much to my mother's dismay ) thanks a ton!

How much of it is picked? I play with all pull offs but obviously thats not right... does he pick every note?

 

Thanks a bunch

right that song sucks...

 

here's the kind of thing i'm referring too:

That one and:

 

 

Coheed are better band now that successfully incorporates 80's, prog, and emo stuff into a quality package. Though I do agree that the 1st album is way better the second one by alot

"From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness" is awesome... I originally had a similar perception of them that Storm Shadow does, but that album really delivers. "Ten Speed(of God's Blood and Burial)" has such a badass riff

TMV - Amputechture

 

=D =D =D

As a guitarist of 4 years I've had the same problem and Ive learned to just improv your solos! its fun, moreso than you think... be sure to pick up easy ones too, like the first chunk of DEW which is just some very powerfully played moderate tempo arpeggios and should be right up your alley.

 

Rhythmically though try Jacobs ladder, Circumstances, or Cygnus X-1... if they prove difficult do pretty much anything from the 80's they're excellent workouts in bar chords and unique arpeggiation (Emotion Detector is a personal favorite)

Good guitarist? here you go:

 

Trace Bundy's Canon in D

Pisses me off, as long as they're not copying the sheet music who cares? should I be sued for humming a song correctly or incorrectly? after all anyone listening IS getting to hear the song without paying... Greedy little bastards.

 

The tab site I usually go to, Ultimate Guitar is still up and usually they're pretty decent

All My Love by Led Zeppelin

 

Its a shame Jimmy Page didn't/doesn't like this gem

Not by much but I like Test For Echo more. I love the little lyrical numbers (Half the World, The Color of Right, and Totem) and the sheer charm of stuff like Driven and Dog Years. Also this album has some shifting time sigs on it and thats always a plus. I can also see the seeds of many things to come on my 2nd fav. album Vapor Trails.

 

Counterparts is still an amazing piece of work
