I just recorded my own version of the Hendrix Spangled Banner (you know....live at woodstock). it's so funny and stupid. Should I post it up here?

Yes. I want to see if it's worse than mine. For some reason, I have problems playing that song. I can do it, but I often lose my place. It's pretty funny (sad) too.

I'd bet it is. It's REALLY bad. but at least I hendrix'd it without a care in the world. :lol:

How come? files sound better in ogg than in mp3....at least in foobar2k. you can compress music dramatically without losing much quality. try listening to and ogg file and a mp3 file at the same bitrate....ogg is tenfolds better. if you have problems with ogg, maybe it's time to download foobar. ;)
 
I'm going to start playing the guitar again and still play the keyboard. I want to make a CD. I've done wrote about 22 songs but I just need something to record with and lots of blank CD's to copy onto and then give away to close friends.

I can't play ogg files. I can't even encode it to mp3. Bah.

I know what you mean. It's a bit frustrating to make winamp or windows media player to run ogg. I stopped using both a long time ago just because they suck for my purposes and switched to foobar2000. It does every audio format under the sun and the interface is a featherweight for resource usage in comparison to Winamp and other audio players.
 
man...stupidass recording isn't even worth all this trouble.


...but the ogg format is. ;)

This dude is good! I'm sure Gil already knows who he is. He's close to Wes Montgomery in his style.

He's an awful lot more rhythmic than Wes Montgomery!


ogg ogg ogg!
Omnis, you have a lot of balls to post that star-spangled banner guitar noise... it was truly horrible!!:) Waaaay too much delay (& possibly other plug-in effects), totally painful timing/phrasing, sick-bag inducing tone and complete disregard for any kind of scale or form (other than a semblance of the main tune?). If the intent was total chaos, you succeeded admirably! (A monkey playing the guitar would get the same effect however).

I suppose it WAS possible to distinguish it was the star-spangled banner you were trying to play... I'm lucky I don't live next door to you! (Actually I'd have guitars wailing very hard, so it would even out I suppose!)

BTW I (think I) like the new avatar. :eek:
 
The intent was indeed absolute chaos with his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Listen to Jimi Hendrix's woodstock performance of it and you'll understand where he got the influence.

In terms of technique, I gotta give you props. I found it a tad sloppy, but it was good 👍
 
hahaha. told you. it's so horrifyingly chaotic.

Hendrix's version still has some kind of musical structure and form to it (all the sounds he makes are intentional, and Hendrix's version still flows as a narrative, it still has careful timing/note selection etc... it was controlled to give the impression of chaos when it is quite the opposite - Hendrix was quite proud of his version, saying he thought it 'beautiful' when he came under criticism for it...).

Omnis' version was so far incoherent that it possibly might not be considered music!

The technique was a 'tad' sloppy?!?!? :crazy:
 
Bleh. Does anyone have any tips for tremolo picking? Its really starting to piss me off as the pick keeps "catching" the string after about 3 or 4 picks and it totally screws everything up. I'm trying to play an At The Gates song that goes like this:

B--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---10--------------10--9--------------9--12--------------9--10------------------
B-------0--0--0--0---------0--0--0--0---------8--8--8--8---------7--7--7--7--7--7 repeat

And the parts where you have to pick the top string 4x (6x on the last bit) gets me. :grumpy:

Yes, it is played with your guitar tuned down 2.5 steps.

Well, there's the problem. It's tuned 2.5 steps down! The strings are like rubber bands. You can't tremolo pic with such little tension in the strings. I'd tune it normal and then try it. Then, tune down a whole step and try it again. Repeat.

Have you ever tried fan picking before? Put the pick very low between your middle and thumb finger, lightly rest your index finger on the side of the pick, stick out your pinky for counterbalance, the ring finger should be slighly curved resting against your middle finger and rotate your hand at the rist as fast as you can. Make sure the pick is attacking the string at the correct angle. And that is fanning.

Don't worry about me - I'm equally critical of everything/everyone! That's what I do, its what motivates me to actually get better at my own guitar playing when I was just a beginner! You should've seen how frustrated I was at myself when I couldn't make it sound like Hendrix... I was saying to myself "James, you're crap, you can't play for ****! Hendrix was just a man like anybody, if he can do it why do I suck so much?!".

No judgement was made about you Omnis (I was just contemplating (and happened to type something about) what made a recording music or not, where the line is between true chaos and controlled chaos (which wouldn't actually be chaos then?)). I'm just constantly analysing stuff - designs, music etc, its my job. Anyone who plays guitar (no matter how talented) is a cool dude in my book. Sorry if my comments were unwelcome or if you were offended by them. No offence meant, I was just being honest (kinda like the bastard judge on American idol! LOL, well sorry terrible analogy I'm more of a bastard than that guy!).

As a designer, I'm used to taking heaps of criticism (if its constructive and not simply abusive) and learning from it, and I don't take it to heart, but try and apply it to what I do. I am used to being really frank about what I say. Sorry if you thought I was ENJOYING paying you out for the sake of it - I wasn't and I always knew you did it as a joke...
I repect you far more for posting it, its a hard thing to put your work up for public criticism (regardless of if it's good/bad - whatever) :)

I always type far too long... I need to be more concise... :dopey:

How about: have fun with the guitar, sorry for sounding so serious! :)
 
I try to play but I've picked up too many bad habits when teaching myself to play on my acoustic like strumming (what? Hah, I rarely strum rather pick very poorly) around the 12th string.

I'm a complete noob I'll admit it. I get pissed off because the sound dies off so quickly (acoustic guitar remember) and because it is so wildly out of tune it isn't funny.

But I try, for 10 minutes before I lose my temper, pack my guitar back in it's bag and put it in the corner casting dirty looks at it.

it's great to be honest. But i already know it sucks. :lol: It's a given.
 
Can't believe I missed this thread. Yeah, I played the electric guitar for a while.

I haven't picked up one in months, so I don't know if I can still play or remember how.
