lonnarin - 5/10/2006 1:46 PMThat's wicked! As the last living glam rocker, this video brings me hope for the future of humanity. I used to play the acoustic for celtic folk and classical, but then Pelordaes introduced me to about 80gb of audio programs and his mini-studio. Now my headware is calibrated for 80s era german industial and soundtrack music.Was that a Black Sabbath T-shirt or a Black Label Society one?P.S. One day I shall modify the Nintendo Power Glove into a self contained air guitar!
Talan Va'lash - 5/10/2006 8:59 PMIf you are looking to play guitar for a living, learn to read music as fluently as a concert violinist.I can't stress enough how getting and keeping many gigs is dependant on this.Playing in bands is all well and good but chances are, if you want to make a living as a musician, at some point you will need to do studio work or gig as a hired instrumentalist.At least 4/5 session gigs will require you to play some pre-written music, either alone in a sound booth or with a live group. It may even be 9/10. Even the ones that are in essence "just comp over these changes, drums are in your monitor, we're doing the other parts later" they'll still give you some weird music (you can usually tell if the arranger is a pianist if he writes out every chord of the guitar part, sometimes, in voicings so close they're physically impossible to play on a guitar heh.) Though in this case you can usually bs your way through it and just read the changes.Heh, though a couple times I've done sessions where the instructions were "Just play a solo over this track." Then you listen to the cut once, and cue up the solo section and give em a solo in whatever style they want.

Ayreon - 5/10/2006 8:39 PMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-IvzZghjiII made this in march, the backing music is orginal as well as the solo. It's just a technical-showcase-wankery thing. Hope you enjoy!
