How long have you been playing guitar??

[evilurnn666]

Just curious how long you've been playing guitar?? I've been playing for 23 years and counting. First song I ever learned was Ironman!!

7 years and progressing every day. The first ones for me were a wrong version of To Live Is To Die by Metallica and Graveyard Disciples by BLS and part of a cradle of filth song.

ive been playing almost 2 years... i know thats a pretty puny amount of time.

Hey just remember, no matter how long you've played there's always room for some kind of improvement!!I've been playing a long time, but i've always focused on metal. So when it comes to playing styles like jazz or classical i'm kindof limited to what I can pull off. Not that I really give a shit because extreme metal is my true love!!!

Slayers Reign In Blood album and Obituarys Cause OF Death were great training tools for me. I used to just play along with them and learned by ear. Before to long I moved on to faster and more technical things. James Murphy was a big influence on me especially!!

I've been playing for about 15 minutes! but then i got a beer, watched some TV and now i'm on the computer. LOL

[evilurnn666]

Sounds like a good plan!! Cold beer, horror movies and fucking air conditioning!! God damn it's fucking hot!!!

About six years I think. I started off playing right-handed guitars but never thought to put the strings on the other way so there for a long time all I did was down-tune and chug on the low E, A, and D strings. The first songs I learned to play were probably riffs from "Ghost Riders" by Johnny Cash and "The Grand Conjuration" by Opeth.

Cool man!! Dan Swano plays a guitar that's stringed upside down on "Bloodbaths" Wacken Carnage video!! Weird!!!

[evilurnn666]

I've been slacking alittle lately because there's no one to jam with. Everyone's either an alcoholic, lazy, playing rockabilly shit or just talks shit!! Maybe a new Ikon would put me back in the mood to play more!!!!!

I know how you feel when I get a new guitar its very inspiring and I start wanting to write and record.

[evilurnn666]

I deffinately think an Ikon would inspire me to write some evil death forsure!!!

i've been playing for a long time can't really count cause i dont really remembr since i was like 13 or earlier lol, there is always room for improvment i started off playing korn and limp bizkit and bush, then moved on to like chimaira, throwdown and hatebreed. now i pretty much have my own style but can't solo to good yet. Need to either work on my scales or learn the damn solo from iron maiden the trooper to help my speed and agility. lol. i just got a line 6 proccessor so i'm hopeing to pick up some insipration from all the new sounds.

[evilurnn666]

Dude get your hands on a Guitar Grimoire scales and modes!! It helped my playing so much!! Builds speed and dexterity etc. I think you can get them at Barnes and Nobles book stores or like Musicians Friend. I still use mine !! And new sounds does help in training especially soloing!!
