do it!

.

I've only gotten 9 years of experience under my belt, but at 8 hours a day it adds up, I play everything from classical to blues, to rock, to metal, my favs to warm up to are One - Metallica, Master of Puppets, Niccolo Paganini's 24th Caprice (for Violin usually, but can be played on guitar) and usually ill throw in some Led Zeppelin in there to. Lately ive been branching off into strengthening two techniques sweep picking (Serrana - Jason Becker) and getting my vibratos more fluent. Marijuana definately helps with creativity and putting more emotion into your playing, and shit you feel wicked cool playing

haha, perfect sense

it just seems to come naturally when you're high.

i play guitar and bass mainly.

though i am beginning to dabble with keyboards, harmonica, jaw (jew) harp, vocals, ukulele.

i just love making music. if you've never heard of a jaw harp (i hadn't until the other day) check 'em out on youtube. the beatboxing ones are best.

I play bass as well man. all I can really do is just come up with little ska-like bass riffs. that or something that incorporates slap and popping if I'm having a good day. I don't know where to really start with harmonica though. I got one and haven't touched it much.

i've played guitar coming on 20yrs now.
i am a fan of heavy progressive rock, ala TOOL. But I am comfortable playing anything short of improv jazz & technical solo fireworks....

i love different tunings...
DADF#AD is probably my favorite.
drop D 1/2 step down in fun C#B#C#F#A#D
I have been playing a lot in a killer slack key tuning as of late DGDGBD

heres some of my toys.

I love guitar...















I love my Marshall!!!! 1979 50w JMP head modified for 2 switchable preamp gain knobs. Its like having a two channel one channel... works great with all my guitars and pedals. MMMMmmmm.... The Fender combo is a little solid state Princeton Chorus. Great little practice amp that can handle small settings fine. 2 x 10" speakers spread the sound around and make it fuller. I really like this amp. When I split the signal and hit both the Marshall & Fender I get a pretty cool tone.... not as cool as when I had my Marshall & Mesa. I miss playing with 2 1/2 stacks!

Guitar wise, I have a plethora of Epiphones. I was playing with mulitple tunings, and taking the time to tune in between songs is not something you can do really. Both Les Pauls are of the "limited edition" variety... red w/the flame, black w/the quilt.. loaded them up with Grover Rotomatics * Seymour Duncan JBs in the bridge P/U, disconnnected the neck P/U & tone controls (less signal path travel = purer signal imo) and off to la la land.

The Noel Gallagher Supernova is actually my THIRD Supernova, but first Manchester Blue (which is a gorgeous color BTW fucking brilliant)... The 2 previous Union Jacks I had ended up being traded for a)my first Marshall one channel head, and b) my current Marshall head. The blue seems rarer to me, btu I do want to get the Union Jack again to have the pair. I changed out the tuning heads to Growver Imperials... wish I had chrome though instead of the black....

The G&L is my latest addition. MY FIRST REAL AMERICAN GUITAR. A good friend of mine works at the factory in HB. I got to go in and try out all the guitars they had sitting around... testers, prototypes... spent a good 4 hrs in there finding the one I wanted. Killer birdseye maple neck... Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck.... shes got a prototype bridge stamped with an "M". I call it the marijuana guitar - fitting because I traded some herb for it. RAD GUITAR.

The Epi acoustic needs a trip to the shop. My little girl knocked it over and broke the electronics housing brackets.... so now the electronics module hangs out some. Kind of a bummer because this is a pretty cool acoustic. Not an old Gibson Blues King (which will be my next harvest present) but she works just fine. I changed out the tuners form the standard kidney bean grovers to the imperials to give her a more regal look. helps deviate attention from the "Epiphone" on the headstock ha ha.

The Ibanez acoustic was a gift from an ex girlfriend. I don't like it nor do I play it very much.... its cool to keep around for when friends come over to jam.

i dont play guitar, although i would love to. my favorite thing to do is blaze up them make a beat on my mpc 1000.

It is really nice to see a thread such as this. In every single post so far, I can feel the excitement and pride that you all have. It can only be understood by people who play a musical instrument (any instrument). I've been playing classical piano since I was a kid, but this past year I went and got myself a banjo addiction. All my stress and worries leave as soon as I pick up the old 5-string. Nothing, absolutely nothing is better than playing a musical instrument. Poplar, I hope your thread continues getting attention. Sure beats the hell out of the political forum.

the political forum is vicious!! LOL I stay away and just lurk there.....

we should write a rollitup song.

You know how to play achilles last stand by Led Zeppelin? thats the best song, one favorites.

I'd definitely make a tune for rollitup .

I'm not much for lyrics but I can make up music all day. but like I said my recording setup is pretty limited right now. the best I can do as far as videos go are my camera or my webcam. I'm not sure how good the speaker is in my camera plus that's limited by batteries so most likely I'll be fooling around with the webcam.

but yeah it's too late and I'm too tired/high to do anything tonight.

anyways, I could hella make a reggae tune for a rollitup song .

Do it !!

if someone busts out some lyrics for it, it'll make it even easier because I'll have something to hear in my head to go along with the music .

....."say I rise up this morning, log on to RIU before the morning sun"..... LOL

...."fdd2blk, is allready logged on"......LOL

....." he has a message for you, ou, ou,....." singing dont worry about a thing, 'cause RIU, is gonna make it be allright"....

haha well I'm gonna sleep on that we'll see about creating tomorrow

no lyric idea's eh? oh well I'll try anyways .

i'll see if i can do anything.

ok, got the vape fired up, time to get the creativity flowing
