Ar you using google translate? If you can type in english without it, you should try that. It would be better practice. Manuals are also something you can only nail with practice. I think it is better to do lower manuals because it gives you more room to correct it if the front wheel starts coming up.

Damn, those are so far away!

I have a plan! It may or may not happen, but I'm guessing it won't cost me £400. And it will have a bit more BB rise, just like I like. There's a few spots in that video it would be cool to know the location of. 2:34? 13:13? And 14:33?

Oh yeah, I just noticed, this only works when there's a picture of them in the chat box, meaning you'd have to illicit a response from them before you can do it.

Could probably make money off that. Get some in a gallery! Or sell it online, or start HSC up again. I've still got that website...

Not bad, not bad. I don't have an acoustic guitar. I've considered one recently but I've not got one yet. It said, 'f**ksake, I can do 1080p and all you're using me for is filming this shit?'

A spoken arcanum. I can hear some jazzy chords in there to, lol. I got myself a book for learning jazz. Some of the chords are quite complicated, especially for someone who knows few chords.

Yeah, I definitely don't have the space for a stack. I doubt I have space for that marshall combo but I might buy it anyway. I don't mind effects but I think they're only for every now and again, so I rarely use them myself. Mm, the wah on this korg pedal isn't amazing. Ha, that's a bit OTT. He does have a nice sound though. I can't handle the Mars Volta for too long, they do get a bit weird sometimes. The old Ibanez tube screamers are quite sought after too. I'd like to try one of those. People seem to use those on top of other distortion pedals, which is interesting. I always found using two distortion effects to really over do it, but I guess moderation of the two might produce something better. If that's played on the bridge pickup, that's a pretty good tone you've got. My amp produces a really tinny naff sound through the bridge on the clean setting, so I always use the neck pickup to get some depth in there.

I was looking at something like a MA50C. Those JCMs are pretty popular. I couldn't justify any kind of stack though, ha. Do post some recordings up! Yeah.. this guy I used to know once told me about this dude he met who was a really good player, techically, but he said his playing had no emotion to it. I do have a big korg pedal, I use that for wah when I fancy it but it doesn't have a proper EQ, and it's also one of these modelling type thingies, which I don't like. Other than that I don't really use effects. A little bit of the amp's own reverb, maybe. I'm having a go on the metal setting, which is a little bit looser and less distorted, and it's pretty cool. It lacks sustain though.
-
Coooooooool.
-
Heh, I have played with it a bit. The trouble is, it has those 4 settings, and each one only has a limited amount of adjustment. You can't have the 'metal' or 'crunch' ones set to the same as the 'insane' one... so you only have so much scope. Maybe I'll fiddle with it later. Or maybe I'll go and get that marshall that's in the shop in town...

I'm well aware that my tone isn't great.. I'd love a marshall valve combo but it's a bit pricey. This is a line 6 spider, it's not the best amp. It can sound better though, that recording doesn't entirely do it justice. Mostly, but not entirely. Post an example of your own tone if you've got one, it would be nice to hear that. I'd use less distortion but it sort of sounds weak and empty without it. I've heard bands use less distortion and get more tone in there, so it's obviously an amp issue. I like harmonics when they're clear, but they don't always come out so clear. I'd agree, the G string is the best one for harmonics. You know, in regards to that tone... that particular setting has maximum mids, nearly full bass and barely any treble, and it still comes out like that. Shit or what?
-
That's probably just me and my guitar. I'm not really a clean player. Yeah, that guitar does it better, but it won't give me a whole 3 semitones like my technique does. I think its main application is on that there low E string, which has always been a cnut to pinch harmonic.
-
Clearly it depends on the guitar, meaning none of mine are suitable for it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8b_Eb-hVCA Here's a video of me doing the technique I found. I've not practiced it, so I still can't do it all the time. I didn't put slide harmonics in because it's harder, but it's a similar in a way.
-
You don't get as much bend, and it takes longer.
-
Sorry for calling you a lego man.
-
Oh, I see. That's nice and obvious isn't it?
-
Haha! If you're careful, you can do it. You can bend, vibrato maybe, the natural harmonic. You can only slide them a couple of frets, and it's harder to do. You put your finger over the harmonic and pick it, and then carefully slide your finger into the actual fret before without letting the string up, and it maintains the harmonic, and then when your finger is in the right position, you can bend it, vibrato it. Slides are harder, it's sort of like squeezing the harmonic up. You can't slide down. Well, yeah, I'm trying sliding them now and it's shit so maybe you can't do it. Ah, maybe not, it's very hard but I got a good one just now. I've made a video to prove that it's possible!
-
I discovered you can bend, and to some degree slide, natural harmonics.

I am annoyed facebook changed the chat so you can no longer click on the name of someone on the chat box and go to their profile. This means I have to type in their name in the search bar to look at their profile. This is too much effort.
