General Music Chat

Twirl twirl twirl my sticks double bass solo.
Miss a beat drop a stick get a metronome.

Is 138 to slow?

138... Hmm... It is a good speed, if RhythmMan thinks he can handle playing his acoustic at 200 bpm then let's up the tempo!

*Pulls out his Mt-2 Boss pedal, to add a little metal to the mix if necessary*

Hmm, 200 bpm . . .
aye yii-yii...
I think my hand would ignite with air friction . . .
How about if we just kick it up to 160 bpm, and I play every other beat?
.
Crank up the sistortion and the disdain . . ,
umm . . . crank up the distortion ans sustain.
And, I got dibs on thet cute redhead in the 2nd row . . .

*He cracks his knuckles.* Okay, 160 bpm is a fair speed, I think 200 bpm would tire me out too fast. *He turns up the distortion and sustain on his amplifier. Cranking his Boss MT-2 up, but not enough to drown out the other instruments.*

Okay, red head is yours, the blonde in the back row is mine.

*He restarts the Row Row Amaggedon Blues theme, playing a fiery blues riff with a tough punch to it, using pentatonics.*

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.

Aww, i don't see any blood yet on them finger's.

I get it, you want me and RhythmMan to die... Our calluses break enough thank you! Lmao.

Neh, just kidding. Alright, I will play a little over 160 bpm, but not much! I do not want any more pain in my fingers, remember I have to type for a living right now.

*He shreds down the neck of the guitar, using sweep picking, continuing the melody of this song.*

That... Was absolutely amazing. Thank you for posting that. I love Middle Eastern music. When I write on guitar later I will use that as my backtracking and develop new Middle Eastern pieces.

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.

Glad you liked it, GA. I had you in mind when I picked it.

Thank you. Yes, I guess you recalled my always talking about loving Middle Eastern music. It is a great piece, completely evoking of different emotions.

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.

Oh my god!!! I never thought I'd hear someone mention DCD ever again. That's awesome Irminsul! I love Lisa Gerrard's film score work and her work with Hans Zimmer as well. Actually, "Rakim" is in my iTunes. Now that's "the bomb."

HAHAAA Yes! Obama!

I'm so glad you like DCD. They are without a doubt one of my top three favorite bands.

Obama? Never!

I am voting Republican! I want to drafted! Go McCain! Win so I can get killed for your useless, senseless, propositions of war!

Neh, lol. Obama? I prefer Clinton, he bothers me for some reason and I just can't lay my hand on it. It is like he is a giant phony, he has no experience, and then preaches what he is going to do. How come just now we see that out of him, he just now starts playing the "Yes we can" card. I barely know the guys opinions on crap, he twists everything and barely responds. At least from what I have seen on him.

You know what annoys me more? I hate her too, lmao. She is strange to me...

So it looks like I am damned if I do, damned if I don't so to speak.

But I will enjoy "Rakim" from DCD now! (Thanks again Irminsul!)


P.S. If you ever want to hear my tracks, don't vote Republican! Or I die in war!

I am just kidding around, everyone has a right to their own views. Have a good day people.

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.

Obama? Never!

Never say never.

There is a real possibility he is our next president.

This is a fascinating election.

Sen. Clinton must be asking "Why the hell did this guy have to run in THIS damn election!!!!" LOL

She was the heir apparent for the Democrats for this election cycle. She now finds herself fighting for her life. The Democrats may fear that her negatives are too strong to be electable in the general election.

To their credit, some very important black leaders have united behind her, rather than Obama. It is encouraging to see black americans not necessarily feel they are "betraying" their race by selecting another candidate of a different race.

Sen. Clinton, for me, is an interesting case. I'm not sure she is as dishonest as her husband, but she is MORE ruthless. I find myself both hating and loving her. Well, I don't love her, but I have some admiration for her. I admire strong and secure women. And she is as tough as they come.

Obama is not completely unknown, he is just untested as president. And a time of war is not necessarily the best time to test him. He has had a political career devoid of scandals, but he is young politically. He had a best selling book. You would think that anything really bad in his past would have come out by now, but it may be those things are waiting for him being nominated by his party. Or it could be, that he doesn't really have any major negatives. You would think Clinton would have brought them up by now, if she knew of any. After all, she dragged out a slum-lord client he represented. If she would have used that, she would have used something worse if she had it.

Obama is clearly well spoken, intelligent and has a great demeaner, displaying clarity and confidence. I think he looks very presidential. But then, Bill Clinton was as cool as they come, and even he has gone off the deep end in front of reporters on occassion.

Obama is very charismatic, in an understated way. He just draws people in naturally. I think Sen. Clinton has her work cut out for her.

If a Democrat is elected, which for the sake of Iraqis and our own position in the world, I hope is NOT the case.... nevertheless, they may take strides toward universal health care. I used to be wholly opposed to that idea, but since my younger days, I have personally seen friends and even myself, make financial decisions over health. A friend for example, recently needed surgery very soon, but he opted to wait 3 months, so his deductible started over at the beginning of this year. It was a good economic decision, but not a good health decision. When we have to make decisions based on economics over our very health, then something is wrong. As my European friends would probably say "So, you don't like our free health care, because you may have to wait a little longer for treatment, or think it is not quite up to American standards? Well, a little lower standard health care, is far better to NO health care!"

Craig Maxim, well, I see your points. There is not much to attack him with, apparently. You are right, she would have used it by now. I get the same feeling you do about her, that she is nutty, lol. You get the feeling she is very tough and I think she would be tougher than he would. She would be able to handle things stronger than him, in my opinion that is.

I am an Independent, but if I vote it will be for a Democrat this year. I do not like McCain, he is a flip flopper. Everything that man says he contridicts. Plus, I will end up dead if it was up to him. If that war in Iraq continues, more of us die, just because they cannot take care of themselves still.

I am not going to be drafted and die for that useless war by a war monger like McCain. He will draft the second he gets in. I refuse to be drafted for this.

If Senator Hagel had ran I would have voted Republican. If Biden had made it this far, I would have voted for him. If Huckabee was the nominee and Obama, I would vote for Huckabee, or just not vote (Very democratic family, bound to have my head scalped if I vote Republican, lol).

This country is nuts these days, a giant war mongering nation. As much as I love my country, I am not dying for it in an unnecessary war. I feel just as bad as everyone else does for the Iraqis, but no more wars.

It is bad enough that a rocket was launched from Palestine into Israel yesterday, and Israel threatened retaliation. There is going to be a war over there sooner or later, between Israel and Iran, and Syria. It is coming and I know this country can not wait, because it would love to attack Iran. Well, I should not say this country as in the people, I should just say the piece of crap government of ours.

As it is I am bound to be drafted. Now how do you think I would feel? A promising student of medicine being thrown into a war and losing his ability to properly obtain his degree. Not only losing that ability, but probably losing his life.

No way, no how, no McCain, he is a scumbag.

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.
