Random Thoughts 16

I'm thinking an Ibanez or a Gibson SG. Maybe a custom ESP. Depends on what I can afford.

 

Yeah, Like i want those but my dad will be like Uhhhh, What am I getting from you for it?

But next thing I need to upgrade is my Amp. (Current one is a Line 6 Spider III 75 Watt)

 

Nick, I watched your "Given Up" cover. Man, you hold your pick really weird.

 

I hold it like a pencil, I have the most grip. But also back then I couldnt "Strum" But watch My Violence cover, which is full of strumming and I still hold it like that.

Personally I have the most control and comfort that way, and i can switch to a different position when i do Pinch harmonics, but I rarely need to.

 

I wasn't saying it was wrong or anything. I'm just saying I've never seen anyone hold a pick like that.

 

and Crap i just watched my Given up video

thats not my pencil type, thats my Harmonic type of holding it

cause Theres the Bridge Bend/Harmonic

 

My dad's constantly telling me I play the guitar the wrong way, yadda yadda, so he's not buying me anything but a cheap copy, and at that, a Strat. At least until I "learn to play right."

Real Life Homer Simpson

Downright scary.

 

Ohh dude that sucks. My dad always gets at me for stuff also. So mostly I don't tell him what I play and how I do it. Cause he plays a Classical Acoustic and he REFUSES to play anything unless its in Standard tuning. I'm like

"Dad i'm getting these strings cause they work good for Tuning down a step and Drop C"

He's like "You dont need to worry about all those other stupid tunings, just worry about the normal way"

Pfft...no Fun

 

Dude, but drop C is pretty much, my favourite tuning.

 

blueness!

 

I know Right!!

Ive been playing a lot of Saosin, which is Tuned Down One Step, Or Drop C Depending how you wanna play it.

Funnnnnn

John, one more baby

 

I hate Drop C. It's the most annoying tuning in the world. I find it so much easier to go between Drop D and Standard.

I can always compensate for Drop C songs, though.

You can do iiiiiiiiiiiit!


Mind, it doesn't change until some specific minute of every hour,

 

"Like most musicians, you are following the bass player"

Best bumper sticker ever.

 

I'd post myself playing guitar, but I'm crap. So I'm practicing so I can have the balls to post myself on here.

 

I think we should have a guitar-playing contest.

And Tasta isn't allowed to participate.

 

My dad thinks that he can tell me how to play because he can play bass passably. He was in a band in the 80s that went nowhere, so he thinks he's a musical genius. But, I just go out of earshot and do what I want to. Which is mainly Drop D. Which, on the acoustic we have, sounds amazing. I just keep forgetting to retune it to standard when I'm done. Which isn't a probalem now, cause the bridge is broken

 

OOO My dad got a Nice ass Washburn acoustic..which He gave to me basically once he got his Classical one. I have thick strings on it, so its in Drop C now. Good for 3rd Measurement in C by Saosin
