I'm actually probably around the same level as you at guitar, i'm just beggining to find that riff a little boring. It's definitely a decent solid riff though, just overused.Metalgamer81 said:Ah, you got me, thanks. I don't know why i was thinking up instead of down there.Rusty Bucket said:
I'm sure that riff is everywhere, being that it's just a great, solid riff. The point is that it's something just about anyone can come up with just playing around and improvising. No offense taken! I consider my guitar skill level in the "intermediate" zone, so cool little things like that are still exciting for me. Actually, after I posted that I sat down with my guitar and my book of scales (most of which I haven't memorized) and improvised a few simple, cool sounding riffs in some of the different minor keys. To you maybe it's simple, dopey stuff... but for me it's just cool that I can actually do that now.
Epiphones are cheap Gibsons, so a $1600 Epi is like a $10,000 Gibson. I just went ahead and changed the currency on you. You English with your money that's worth more than ours. For shame!
Fruhstuck makes an excellent point... metal crowds are the best! I have had very few negative experiences. I have witnessed a fight or two, and I do almost always get stuck acting as a fence between the mosh pit and my girlfriend... but when someone falls down they get picked up and even in pretty wild pits nobody gets seriously hurt.
That is, unless you "blokes" from "across the pond" have much rowdier crowds what with all the dark beers and rugby.
Well yeah, Epiphones are certainly cheaper than Gibsons, but some of them aren't exactly cheap. It's always seemed that you're just paying for the logo on the headstock with Gibsons. The slightly better quality doesn't seem to justify the massive amounts of cash they ask for them. We seem to have strayed mildly off topic here.
Well, there's no doubt we're tougher than you Yanks, that's a given
From what i can tell our crowds are pretty much the same as yours. Just slightly better, of course.EDIT: I love Ibanez guitars. Go myself an SZ320 last year, absolutely brilliant. Mahgonay body, set-through neck, string through body. It's built like a tank, never goes wrong. And the sustain is absolutely amazing.
