thats just me goofing around




give it some time to load


and then give me some grace because my fingers were cold.


spinning a pen with freezing hands?




try playing a guitar with freezing hands....

Okay these are my skillz.

7 Years Violin (Yes I am pretty good at it)
1 Year 2 months Self-Taught Electric Guitar (Can play all of Green Days songs now, yes I know they suck but hey!, If anyone can tell me how any good sites or anything to learn how to shred I will be very greeatful - jSA041? )
1 Year Self-Taught Piano (I guess I can play here and there...)
2 Years Self-Taught Harmonica
1 Year percussion (xylophone, you know what I mean)

Ok, here's me messing around and testing how well my webcam records music. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of crackling noise; the piano is old and out of tune too. There are lots of pauses and errors because I'm nearly two years out of practice.

many years of piano
3-4 years of synth/keyboard

djf, go download guitar pro then go to www.mysongbook.com

and start learning something harder than green day... ugh

ummmm...under a year of Turntablism.. =P

This is my band. Fares Well Without.
Love us, hate us. We have fun. The tracks aren't the mastered ones I don't think, because those were on there before we sent the EP out to be mastered/pressed. Hmm. Tell me what you think?

Almost forgot:
I've been a drummer for.. closer to 6 years now than 7. yeah, 6 years. This band doesn't really show my skillz too well, but thats what you get for... metal with some break-it-downz? (I perfer "beatdowns", but thats just me.)
Yeah, lets call it metal.

Anyway, everything we write is on the shorter side as far as time goes, but yeah..
Been together two years, and have to stop due to everyone being in different colleges and not wanting to travel *insert amount of time* to practice for the weekend/play shows. Bummer, but thats what happens when you get out of highschool. --Last show (ever) is the 27th of this month. If you're in Pennsylvania, you know who to contact for a fun show.

(BTW-- Listen to "Legolas Ain't Got Shit On Me" for some fun singing/80's harmonies at the end. haha.)

Zombo: Nice jams, man. I dig.

metal with breakdown? isnt that called...hardcore? lol

Yea it sounds real good, but this is as far as I know, since I'm not a real hardcore fan.

me neither. haha

Yeah, I guess you could call it that, but because I don't really dig on hardcore much these days, I'd rather fall into the catagory of metal. Because whether a band likes it or not, they always fall into a catagory. /shrug


I use to hear alot.. "We're different than other bands"... All I have to say is: "No.. No, you're not."
You wouldn't believe how many times you hear ^this^ when you play shows every weekend for about a year. Denial, I say. haha

uhh... you're not a hardcore fan, and you play hardcore? that's not very commited :/

Reminds me of my drummer. He used to play in a hardcore band, and he quit (we basically stole him away) to play in our metal band. He didn't like hardcore very much, but the decision was still not that easy for him. Heck, I don't think the guy is super fan of music with drum AT ALL, since he seems to spend most of time listening to techno or new age (soft, no drums)

Kinda weird lol. He's fascinated with keyboards, and I'm the keyboardist with interest in drums (I guess). ahah

Well, its not that I don't like it. Because I think its fun to listen to, and even more fun to play-- I just don't like being called a hardcore band.. playing hardcore shows... Hardcore kids in general are mean, to be frank.

(I mean, everyone in the pit thinks they have to proove that they're tuff, so they hit the crowd and such. Lame. When I used to hardcore dance, I'd never hit anyone. Granted, I've ruined kids who wouldn't hear my warnings of not starting fights in venues, but thats another story.. Basically, most hardcore kids are skinny, wear tight pants, and think they're tuff as shit. Otherwise they're white and think they're black.. you know that kind. haha.)

Anyway. I like to play hardcore music, cause its fun. But I don't like to... be associated with it. That seems fit. yeah, I love it actually. I just don't want to be known as a "hardcore" kid.

I'd much rather be the metal kid. hahaha

what do you hear more in my band's songs: Metal, or Hardcore influences?

BTW, does you're band have any other songs on any other sites? I'd like to hear some more, if you have it.

pretty good joshua! i dont care for the overlapping rhythmns, it just makes it sound sloppy but gotta love those breakdowns ;)

i dunno whats everyones beef with scene kids, as far as i know, there really nice(over here in seattle, well in the seattle sound scene anyway) yea theres always fights at local venues, but there usually premeditated.

also,when i was typing this, i was listening to your band and its fucking awesome!

i play piano, its really helpful for working on ur weak hand and weak fingers on both hands... doesnt seem to help much on individual finger control tho

Lol I can play heaps better now.. no thanks to you.. green day sucks ;)

didnt your band do a cover of Jesus of Suburbia?

anyway, no we dont have any other songs. We're gonna record some over the summer

Meanwhile, we're all practicing and composing.

This is my latest (100% me) song: it has no name yet so I call it test65, simply because it is my 65th "test" song (not all test songs become real songs).

http://midishrine.com/midi/5640.mid

Terre de Sang (the demo song) is not 100% me. I've written the keyboard parts and the chorus (and the outro).

I'm also currenty writing test73, which is more power-ish, but not finished yet. I might post it if I raise it to a decent level.

oh yeah :unsure:

1. TIME TO WASTE ~ ALKALINE TRIO

2. JESUS OF SUBURBIA (FIRST TWO VERSES)

3. RADIO ~ ALKALINE TRIO

4. GIVE ME NOVACAINE ~ GREEN DAY

5. STAY TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS (FIRST VERSE) ~ BLINK 182

6. SINCE YOU BEEN GONE ~ KELLY CLARKSON

8.ARMAGGEDON ~ ALKALINE TRIO

9. BURN ~ ALKALINE TRIO

http://media.putfile.com/Concerto-de-Quebec

Me playing the Concerto de Québec by André Mathieu on my synthesizer. I've had trouble maintaining the sustain, as this does not quite feel like a real piano (although it's a pretty high quality keyboard), but it will do.

i dont have a clip of my self
this is a thai classical music called ranaad(not sure how to spell)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWojOCWoN44

Oh not permanently.. It was my friends who sung (or sang whatever><) it :P

oh yea so thats your stuff zombo! i forgot you sent me a bunch of your songs but when it got mixed with my other guitarpro and powertabs i didnt know what the hell it was cuz they were all named like "testblah"

http://midishrine.com/midi/5978.mid


heres one song we play for our band from powertab....i think its not our best work, but its certainly catchy enough to get fans :P

djf im a drummer not a guitarist really haha i took that video down cuz it sucked.


Shredding is an extremely useful technique, but hammer/pulloff technique is even more useful, because it eliminates pick scratching.


if you can perfect fast hammer pull off technique shredding wont really be as vital as it seems right now.



however if you want to learn anyways, practice your scales! learn to alternate up and down picking for each note while playing your scales. start from the bottom of the neck and work up.


what i do is i start from low e scale, play major, then minor, then pentatonic, then move up to F, and repeat until i get back to E, then i go down. by the end of this excercise your fret hand should be burning. key is cleanlisness, worry about speed later.

i have doubts thats u

heres my band playing XD

http://youtube.com/watch?v=gM9LZi1ohTg&sea...%20-%20remember

i request chanman123's violin skills...because he so totally knows i can own him.

Go screw yourself Will.

5th chair noob.


edit:

I hope this isn't considered flaming since I know Zeph and we throw jokes all the time at school.

im 5th chair but the 3rd best, its kinda weird

I already knew that and am practising some fairly easy shred songs (such as Thank You For The Venom by My Checmical Romance etc.)

Thanks for the info though :BRAIN:

hey DI (not djf sorry) theres no drum, nice song tho.

lol Look what I did to your song!

only the first part tho:

http://midishrine.com/midi/5985.mid

I can do the rest too :) Doesn't take me much time to do this.

lol who are you talking to Zombo?

That song is awesome - the one you made :D

But from what song are you talking about?

And if it doesn't take much time... mind if I use it? (Not exactly the same but you know I'll probably change it a lot to suit the lyrics..)

RESPECT ZOMBO !!!

HEY! thats mine!

zombo i cant believe you would do that to one of my songs! :angry:

haha jkjk seriously, that was sooooo awesome! weve had some trouble tabbing drums for that song....can you tab somemore of it if you can? if you can, put some nice double bass work in it :P

i love you zombo. B)

yea DI i was talking to you sry lol I thought it was djf's song.

Yea basically there was no drums on it, so I added a track and worked on it for a while

wait zombo are you a drummer?



or are you using your computer or a keyboard?




hrmmmmmm.



btw i like how you note the difference between keys and piano, most piano players dont know that and think they can play keys.

I'm not a drummer, but I hold enough knowledge in guitar, bass, vocals, drums, and keyboard to compose whole songs.

haahah lol zombo it's k ;P

come on zombo, you know djf doesnt know anything about music :P

http://midishrine.com/midi/5997.mid


actually, can you do this song? maybe more your style....its one of our harder songs

Hey DI
















Fuck you!
