Uhh I doubt you've listened to that much jazz, there are lots of different styles, and most of them don't even have singers.
you know, now that i think about it, you cant play jazz for shit either. charlie christian? well guess what, i can play twinkle twinkle little star, which is even harder! if you are even able to pluck a few notes at a slow ass speed, you should try recording yourself, because youll discover you sound like absolute shit
you said it yourself. "i cant play lead just yet", which means you basically havent gone anywhere beyond strumming and havent yet learned how to alternate pick, bend or do vibrato well (and someone who strums for their entire first year isnt going to pick these things up in just a couple of weeks, especially since you probably dont play for more than 1 hour a day). why dont you prove me wrong and upload something youve recorded? or is your recording software "not working"? somehow i thought so
Good question. but there's a simple answer. This isn't a forum for musicians, it's a forum for guitarists and unfortunately there are very few people who want to talk about anything else. I've tried many times to get discussions going about jazz, about classical, even progressive house and trance and hip-hop, but it just keeps coming back to Pink Bloody Floyd and the Doors (not that I've got anything against them, it's just that it's all we ever get to hear about).
you just have to remember that terd burgler is also Viking and darkwarier. just by reading posts from those 3 usernames (and there was another, the one that posted that horrific-sounding wav of him "playing" guitar), that he has no real interest in music, knows nothing about it, and isn't the least bit musically-inclined. he may know a bit about theory, but that doesnt mean he can play.
guess again faggot http://media.putfile.com/soulrebelisgay this is what ive learned in the total of seven months ive been playing... you on the other hand are downpicking little charlie christian solos and you probably have never even heard of the pentatonic scale by the way... im still waiting for you to come on msn and send me a recording since you are too retarded to upload it... or have you decided not to because youre afraid ill make fun of you some more for being so fucking bad at guitar? i can only imagine what your singing is like...
dont really need to know what the pentatonic scale is.. and i play more than just charlie christian. i'm on msn. it must be pretty good, since everyone says so and i'm being requested to play gigs and i've probably got the lead in the school musical.
ROFLMAO OMFG ROFL omg, i am literally in tears now and im not just saying that you are so newb its not even funny. you can even ask your butt buddy george, even he will be honest enough to tell you that you fucking suck after having said the aforementioned quote
i've never learned it, and im "not bad" when it comes to playing guitar. why's it essential for a guitarist to know?
