Quoted from pinzrfun:If you're not gonna put the time in, tell your wife not to bother, it'll just sit in a corner.
I played from the time i was 11 until well into my 30s when pinball took over. My Marshall amps and guitars have basically just sat for the last 20 years. I don't have the time/desire to practice every day, or every other day, any more, and if you don't, the dexterity and speed just slips away. Sure you can still strum along to something, but I was never a strummer, I played lead guitar in hard rock bands. Gotta stay in practive for that.
Sad!!!
How come you don't sell the collection? I'm sure that stuff is significantly more valuable than it was 20 years ago.
Quoted from Pinstein:Learning "Smoke on the Water." is a right of passage.
For me it was Iron Man.
But those two songs probably were the first power chords for the majority of aspiring rock players.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:I was all about Metallica(and other speed metal bands). Lots of crunchy power chords.
LMAO did you happen to own a certain pedal....a METAL ZONE!??!
I have one of those! it's a little much for me these days, I use mostly a tube screamer but sometimes can't help but fire up THE METAL ZONE!
Quoted from zr11990:Yea well. I got a guitar, not the one I was talking about. She bought me lessons which I would take on Thursday when I’m off but it seems that every Thursday I have something to do and I haven’t been able to schedule. Now that my grand daughter is sick and I have to do community service for a gun charge I still won’t have time. I did sell my business so when that is all said and done I will have lots of time.
If you are interested in the gun charge I took off from work on a Saturday and got pulled over. I keep my glock on the seat next to me because it’s a crappy hood. I held my hands up and told the cop I had a gun in the seat and I had a permit to carry and I showed him my license and permit. The cop didn’t care he took me to jail anyway. I spent 15 hours in county jail and I was charged with carrying a firearm in a car without a permit. Total bullshit. The cop said that my permit was expired which it wasn’t. So I had to pay a lawyer, get my car out of impound and I lost my gun.
Well let's see it!
(the guitar, not the gun)
Quoted from xsvtoys:I have two now. The original Metal Zone I bought in the 90s, and a shiny new MT-2w Waza version. This way, I can set one up for chunky chugging and the other one for screaming distorted lead and not have to keep fiddling with the knobs.
There is no shortage of discussion and love and hate for the Metal Zone. I think Ola covers the idea of it best. It definitely will sound like crap and ruin your day if it is not dialed in right. But if you get it set right and connected properly, it is awesome. IMO of course.
Yeah I'm using the "EXTREME METAL!" setting on my amp if I need to shred like that but I should probably bring the Metal Zone back into the mix. I got that in the late 1990s.
