You should be vibrato-ing with your wrist, not your finger. Same goes for bends; doing it with your finger often sounds uncontrolled and uneven, and in a live environment these things make your playing sound nervous

I'm not sure if you were doing that because you were tired, but when you bend or vibrato you should use the base knuckle of your index finger as a pivot point, and rotate your wrist. If I ever do a video, I'll stick some vibrato in to show you what I mean if my explanation's a bit shit

Nice guitar, btw :P Is that a RR or a V?

Thanks for the feedback.... there are a lot of things i need to work on to improve my speed/how clean i play and what not. Mostly my technique... you should do a vibrato video, my bends do sound kinda sketchy and uneven, i would like to fix all this but yea that was my RR, http://ranguitars.floriandecher.de/custInvader.html

__________________

that was pretty kick ass other than th vibrato as mentioned by ukfswmart
how long have you been playing.

hmm..... well i "played" for a while, like got my first guitar like 6 years ago, never touched it for 3 years, then started taking lessons, but that didnt help much, so i quit again, then i just started taking lessons again like 9 months ago, and prolly played like 6 months before that... so ive been playing good stuff/actually trying to play for about 1 1/2 to 2 years.

__________________

By the way, i wasnt trying to vibrato with my whammy at the end there.... i was just fuckin around with sounds, but yes is do suck at vibrato with my fingers.... ill make some more videos cause im interested to see what other things i gotta work on.

cool, it's funny to see a Ran in action! I might be able to borrow a cam from a friend so I can film my Ran in action when it gets here

haha nice.. yea ill get some better footage of the whole body, ill do a cover or somthing easy and post it up or somthing. to get some ran action

__________________

i wish i could do that

s**t i didnt realise that was your ran
that looks killer.

btw its not that you suck at vibrato just room for improvement i guess.

cool stuff, i've been thinkin about getting a Ran, just not sure how well it will play and how safe it is to get one, post a fulll body video soon!

haha ok, yea improvement is what i meant
yea i did some crazy train shit today i guess i can post it, it was kinda off the bat and sloppy, ill re record one most likley. Also did some bodom stuff.

If I do get round to doing a video, it'll probably be on Wednesday. I don't have any hosting anymore though, so I don't know how I'm going to be able to show you guys :\

That was kickass!

Thanks

nice i cant wait to see it, i would like to post a vid too, but i suck, maybe ill post my attempt at crystal mountain soon

So uhhh....How do you guys record stuff again?

No problem, heh heh

LMAO

Seriously though....I enjoyed that....I'm still trying to figure out where to upload a few sample MP3s of me jamming so you all can pick at me some more.....but it's cool....I made two and one isnt too bad.

ill host all your guys shit just as long as it isnt to big.
And in the words of CC welcome, lol, but hey whatever floats your boat and shit im obliged to film myself and be contructivly commented on or criticized.
New video will be on the first post in like 5 mins.

Very nice. I finally saw your backwards videos as well. Those were very well done. I can't wait to see a backwards guitar video from you.

As far as the vibrato goes, there are many ways to do vibrato and your goal should be to master all of them, not just one. Finger vibrato rules if you're good at it. It's the same story with artificial harmonics, there are many different methods of getting them and they all have merit.

Hey, I'd love to get some videos up here, but how do you? Your link was to some other site or something, and I don't know how to do that. Did you have to compress the file at all?

By the way, nice playing. My friend is trying to learn that solo, and it's quite sloppy at the moment, but you played it well.

Yea this is my site, that right now im just using for a file server, i use some programs for compression and programs like premiere to group them together. And thanks for the comments

Hey thats pretty good, maybe I will do the same if I have the patience. I have a digital camera that will take 15 second clips or so

Dude, you kick my ass badly.

That crazytrain video was real good.

I just watched the Crazy Train one and it was very good. I was most impressed on how comfortable you looked doing the solo and the tremelo bar stuff. Hell if you made that song look so easy what is some of the harder stuff you can play? I don't know how to play the song, but I'm not sure that I could have done that last shredding part of the solo. Nice work man.

If I registered to like digitalplanet.com or something, how do I upload something?

Very nice Hendrix. You'll be happy to know (or maybe not give a shit) that I had no problem with your videos on that site and I thought the video aliasing made a pretty cool blur effect on your strumming hand. I was stoked about the www.putfile.com thing but apparently only two or three people in the world can make it work...

Here' my video contribution for today: http://www.xergenics.ws/

It contains 5 important lessons for beginners:

1. This is one way of mixing two guitar parts into one using "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" as an example.
2. You don't necessarily have to bend your thumb around the neck to play "Purple Haze"
3. The harmonic squeals in the Van Halen classic "Mean Streets" were obtained by using the old "Hit the string with your right hand thumb immediately after picking the string" technique (at least that's how I did them).
4. Only Yngwie should be allowed to play "Far Beyond the Sun"
5. If you intentionally try to come up with something random and clever on the spot when recording a video, you will most likely fail miserably.


For those asking how to record video, here is what I did:

1. Recorded in low-res mode on my digital camera.
2. Removed the Sony memory stick and stuck it in my laptop.
3. Opened the 6.5MB .mpg file with Magix Movie Edit Pro and exported it as a 1.4MB .wmv file because I have limited space left on my website.

(When I get a good high res video take, maybe h4x5839283748392 will host it for me. )

@demon; goddamnit!



That guitar is a B.C. Rich Warlock NJ, it's pretty old, over 10 years. It goes into a Morley wah pedal, and then into a Marshall MG100HDFX.

I started spanish guitar 7 years ago. Did that 2 years and then switched on to electric. I have lessons from a classical educated man, i started out with a lot of blues and rock 'n roll, i'm glad i did that, because i can dream all pentatonic scales now. Then he wanted to learn me jazz scales, but i didnt really liked it, and now i'm playing Satriani songs, A Train of Angels, Midnight, Always with me Always with you. That stuff, i love it.

Hey, Kickass stuff h4x5k8, I know all the licks from bed of razors, but i do them pretty badly lol

Damn!!! You're older than me and balding!!!

Did you notice that they kept showing close-ups of a yellow strat with scalloped frets but nobody was playing that guitar on the stage shots?

Nile fucking rules the streets!!!!

What would you like to know? My thumb technique or something else?

Yeah I noticed that there was a yellow strat...that was weird. I wish it would have been the flying V or something geeze.

well, how to do them, yea, like the whole thumb thing, i think dimebag did something like it to.

im going to get a vid of me playing at a talent show soon. We played top gun and power rangers and i screwed up power rangers pretty badly because we hadnt ever practiced with the drummer and i had to sing (i had never sung in my life). Besides all that i have no good way to host it once i get it. Oh yea, i started bsing the speed of light solo during the drummers stupid ass improv drum solo at the end, so i'll see if that made it no the tape.

sweet cant wait, remember ill host it if you send it to me.

I guess that would be a good video to make.

Here are the three basic methods that I use:

1. Pinky squeals: I'll explain this one first since it will help you to understand the theory behind the other techniques. Fret any note with your index finger while lightly holding your pinky on the same string at any harmonic interval and release your pinky after picking the note. To understand this, first think about natural harmonics (where they are and what they represent)

- 12th fret harmonic - doubles the frequency - half of the string length
- 7th fret harmonic - triples the frequency - 1/3 of the string length
- 5th fret harmonic - quadruples the frequency - 1/4 of the string length
- 3.9 fret harmonic - quintuples the frequency - 1/5 of the string length
- 3.2 fret harmonic - sextuples the frequency - 1/6 of the string length
- 2.3 fret harmonic - septuples the frequency - 1/7 of the string length

Now fret any note with your index finger. Then use your pinky on the same string to iniatiate a harmonic vibration by placing it above the fret that is five frets higher than where your index finger is. Do the same thing at 3.9, 3.2, and 2.3 frets higher than where your index finger is. You may not be able to go 5 frets at the lower end of the fretboard, but you should be able to go 7 frets at the higher end (i.e. fret the 12th fret and rest your pinky above the 19th fret, pick the note and lift your pinky).

If you understand that, then all you need to understand at that point is that you can also initiate harmonic vibrations using your right hand by contacting the mirror image location on the string (i.e. the same distance from the bridge as it would be from your fretted note).



2. Pinched harmonics - This is the technique used by Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. You rest your pickhand middle finger against the desired harmonic location while you are picking the note and then pull it away. You are "pinching" the string sort of.



3. Thumb harmonics - This is what I mainly use because it is generally more flexible as a technique IMO. When you pick the note, you follow with your thumb and brush your thumb into the string at the desired harmonic location.

well shit, i knew what a thumb harmonic was, i thought thats what pinch harmonics were.

EDIT: Shit, I keep fucking this up, just use like Windows Media or something.

cool reverb ya got going there(i dig reverb got mine dimed) do you have a wah? i think for the intro solo he put the wah all the day up(so the back parts down and the fronts up) im not too sure but i remember hearing that

nice job though keep practicing at it

Well I can play it much better, but I just wanted to test it out and see if the recording and the uploading worked. I had a shitty tone and I fucked up like 20 times, but I don't care about that one, I'm just glad I got the recording going though.

Nicely done. What amp are you playing through?
And how did you record that?

that was fuckin sweet, thats the kind of shit i need to work on, like bends and what not, you did those very well, all 4 fingers.

cheers


you look like your doing fine from those videos you posted!

__________________

just wondering, i never seem to get that cool harmonic-like sound you do f.e. at the end around the 2nd and 3th fret.

__________________

its a natural harmonic around there on the bottom string. I think thats what you mean? at the third fret. theres others at 2.5, and 2.25 and other places. you can get the same harmonic around the 15th, 16th and 17th.
fuck im confused! was that even directed at me? what are you asking? was it even a question? what does f.e. mean?

__________________

wow, amon ra
that was fucking awesome
how did you get soo good? how long you been playing for?
what did you have to learn to play like that? thats the kinda shit i wanna do. i've been playing for about 6months and seem to be going nowhere
any help would be appreciated

well you cant expect to play like that in six months, hes probably got a few years experiance. just practice man if thats the stuff you wanna play then practice that till you get it

__________________

cheers.
as to your questions um uh ah
i got this good by practising. on and off for 6-ish years

I'm not as good as some guys round here who have been playing for much less time than me. though, 6 months is fucking nothing. if you spend all your time, doing nothing but good practise(as opposed to bad practise) you can expect to be bloody good within a year or 2.

learn stuff you want to learn.
(that may sound obvious)
learn easy things by your favourite guitarists.

Ltd m-255 w/ SD Full Shred into boss SD-1 and finally into a 5150 combo. The mic used was a crappy computer one.



-EDIT- The backing track is a gp4 midi.

Crappy mic.? Maybe, but sounds waaay more clearer then the piece of shit one that I have.

holy fuck dude,
how long have you been playing

^

Had some free time....
http://s35.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=...AB1KZL00GZACEUA

Watch out, don't blast ur speakers up, cuz I went a little overboard on the chorus.

it dont work when i click it
it just says unknown format.

just open w/ windows media...or any other player for that matter.

Nice stuff man! You like your pinches don't you? Good work though, love it.

Oh.....about 6 or 7 years now. I'm not really all that good. Don't know a damn lick of theory.
