lets talk abotu music

The ol' 6 string, no. It's still in repair hell. The pickups finally died completely the other day too.

My 4 string is fine though. I just want to get some new strings for it.

Also I've played the drums since forever, I just recently got not sucky thanks to Rock Band B)

I'm pretty good at drums, but I'm tons better at guitar (4 year drummer, 7 year guitarist) The problem is that I'm also the only one who wants to sing and It's hard (but possible) to sing while playing the drums imo
I also personally enjoy guitar more but the band's best intrests come first!

Btw the red hot chili peppers are awesome amirite or amirite???

Oh sweet. I need to do that, as well, since my bass's strings are starting to sound twangy and that's never good. Was playing "American Woman" with my bro Matt the other day and I popped the D string and it sounded funky.

Also, rock band drums: the only instrument that takes actual skill (don't ANYONE say vocals, since you can just go "hmmmmmmmmm" on the correct note and get 100% on those)!

Yeah, it's annoying how few people want to sing, too.

An interesting idea would be a band where the lead singer was the drummer. The drums would be a tad simplistic, compared to other bands, but it would be a project I would support.

Man the night crew is the best part of mfgg.

If we did start a band that'd be our name.

yeessss you're so right

And personally, I don't find those incredible "MAD SOLO SKILLS" to be nearly as difficult as a song with awkwardly shaped chords, or a lot of different sections to be memorized. People that don't play instruments don't understand that, though, so when I tell my Dad or somebody that I can play Purple Haze, for example, they try to tell me how amazing that is even when I try to tell them "it isn't that difficult, and I'm not that good at it"


Also drummers are not an issue for me, my problem is finding a bass player.

Though I have a friend that plays tuba!

I want to get new strings for it because the previous owner of the bass obviously liked metal chugging and the strings are ridiculously heavy and hard to play on at times.

I'll probably ask for money/parts to fix the 6 string this Christmas.

@Glukom: Using tuba for bass in a rock band would be AMAZING.

The Night Crew?

I could have sworn that I've heard that name before, but it sounds cool.

i know, i want to try it out sooo bad

Exactly!

I get so sick of telling people I play guitar because I always have to tell them that I'm more into playing those "oddly shaped chords" (and I'm darn good at it, too) than I am into those "mad solos" (which I can play, but not near as well). It's especially prevalent in the younger guitarists I know.

I get so conscious, though, when a good soloist is around. I know that most people are going to flock to them and praise their skills and wonder why I can't do that. Of course, that's when I show them some chord tricks that I've learned (such as simply playing a regular C and then sliding it up three frets, keeping the shape, to get a D) and then they like that sound, too. :P

Wanna trade friends? I know 4 people who play bass guitar (and 1 who plays upright base, but he's 12)

My closest friend joined (then later became my girlfriend oooooo bandrama!!!)

Probably the MFGG Night Krew if the night crew is taken.

Also we need to work together sometime. Female vocals are nearly non-existant as far as most music on m*** is concerned.

And Tuba bass is the best idea ever but would look rediculus.

But who cares really?

the night crew is so chilled out compared to the rest of the day

we can talk about this kind of stuff and have fun just all agreeing with each other, it's awesome

And I want to sing but I'm embarresed to because I don't know if I sound good or not ;_;

Don't be embarrassed!

BTW, what type of vocals can everyone sing? I sing a solid baritone, as well as both Tenor 1 and Tenor 2 range. I can get pretty darn high, and decently low. I sing better when it comes to softer rock and love songs, and things like that, though. I love doing harmony parts, too. :3

Glukom I'm the same way, but on the m*** server some people say I have an interesting voice, so I may try.

Baritone, and Tenor 1. That's it. I don't try to go higher anyway.

I would looooooooove to sing.

If it weren't 4 in the morning I'd invite you all onto Skype and sing for you~

KNIGHT KREW FOREVAH

i'd sing but no mic GASP

It is nice to escape the normal MFGGdrama!
I feel kinda out of place with all you rhythm guitarists though, as I'm more a soloist dude sorry

On the subject of singing, I really need to get my mic working so I can voice up the TF2 server. :(

This is still important. Don't apologize.

Once you start explaining things too people, they start to get it a little more, but nothing would annoy me more than being the rhythm guitarist to an arrogant solo guitarist. I'd love playing what I'm playing, but nobody else would give a crap what I'm doing when the other guy is playing 3 notes in triplets really quickly to give the impression that he's an amazing player.

That's why I could only settle being the only guitarist in a band. Hey, tons of bands did it beautifully, and if I need more guitar sounds I'll overdub them in in the studio.

**** let's all get skype

and sing back in the USSR in complete synch tomorrow.

Getting Skype: Already done.

Singing in sync: lol yeah right.
