guitarness!

Just for the fun of it (and to see what it looks like and sounds like when i play) i recorded a little bit of me playing guitar.
Even more for the fun of it (flame = fun!) i decided to put it on crossfire. And even more for the fun of it, i ask other guitarists of crossfire to do the same!
Yeah, lots of mistakes in there but keep in mind it's just a random record and I didn't plan a single note before i hit record.

enjoy!

Flame on.

Parent
don't flame alhric you random noob!
Parent
Kewl!
That muse song was kinda cool ;)
Parent
yours is really nice!
i can't improvise, I'm just downloading tabs and learning songs by heart... should play more often
Parent
Thankety!
Just playing randomly is a lot of fun.. Just forgetting everything else (e.g. the book that the camera is on, Discrete Mathematics :X) and having fun with the guitar.. Owns!
Parent
You should really start incorporating your pinky into your playing man. Not using your pinky is madness.
Parent
:D
you got some stuff outta alrhic there i didnt know :D
nice guitar play there :D
Parent
Les Paul = fail
ES335 = win
Parent

alhric got some vids on youtube
someone told me alhric has some vids on youtube
I don't have any vids on youtube

I'd put them up if I had a working webcam or something
What about that überold superperforator thingie? :D
Parent
No match for my skillz on the piano
Parent
Ah, you play piano!
I played piano since i was 7, but i quit when i was ~16 and started playing guitar instead... Really regret that i quit the piano now, but i'm happy i started playing guitar!

You wouldn't happen to know Clementis sonatine(i think)?
Parent
I played op. 36 2 years ago, a few parts that is :P Can't remember any of them though :D

edit: played this one as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDvcGnTvcsI , maybe you know it ;p
Parent
Wouldn't happen to be this one?
Parent
I think I didn't play that one, but I know which one you mean (looked up the sheet music!)
Parent
:D
About the youtube link, i haven't heard that one.. My piano teacher was the classical lover, not me (although I do enjoy classical piano every now and then) :P
That kid is gonna be great in a few years though!
Parent
damn you, I thought I was going to have a good laugh, but you are no noob :<
I haven't played my guitar for about 6 months l0l
Used to play all sorts of instruments x)
then start playing again! :D
Parent
I sometimes end up picking the guitar up if I like a riff or something that I heard, the figure it out \o/
Parent
Nice singing skills :)
Parent
Your friend needs to learn how to keep tempo! and tune his guitar :P

Horrible!
Parent
You could wonder how long he's playing. xD
Parent
Very nice :O). That guitar sounds good !
Yeah, it does! I <3 it :D
The camera mic doesn't at all capture its true coolness though :'(
Parent
I figured :P
Parent
If anyone wants to laugh at my chicken scratch crap guitar playing recorded with a bad mic (no I'm not being modest at all, I suck) feel free:

And just for perfo (if I'm remembering correctly):

;D
Won't be able to tell if that's the real deal since I haven't seen the movies! ;D
Parent
As if you would recognize it if you had! :X
Parent
I'm interested to know if you know what you're playing? By that I mean theoretically.

Or are you just messing around?
And by theoretically you mean what?
Yeah I can figure out what keys and stuff I was playing and I'm sure some of it has a name, but in general I tend not to pay much attention to that. Ear ftw :D

Edit since you edited: Yes i'm messing around.
Parent
QuoteYes i'm messing around.

Okay cool. I thought so.

Learning the scales, their modes, and their relation to different chords is one of the things about guitar playing which I would recommend highest.

I used to be disinterested in the theory side but since I became a full time music student just over a year ago, I've grown to love it.
Parent
Yeah I know.. I thought about going for music studies myself, but here I am reading maths ^^
I never sat down to learn any scales, but I end up using some of them anyways. I'd like to do it some day though.
My problem has always been too little theory, I've played piano since I was 7 and I still can't read sheet music properly (that is, I know it in theory but I can't play anything just from looking at some sheet without thinking hard for every note :D)
I used to just watch my piano teacher play and then try to play the same, with him correcting me. So i learned everything by heart and developed a quite nice ear, but the fact that I suck at reading sheets keeps coming back at me :(
Parent
ARE U TRYING TO KILL ME?? AAARGH!
i find your skillz kinda impressive for me kinda noob....

but is one of your parents a dentist?
nice skills on that instrument :D
Iam playing e-bass since around 4 months already

I will upload a mixtape this afternoon ;)
I have been planning to learn a one awesome riff from some great song. Then I could always grab a guitar at the party, play that and every girl would get wet and "uuuh".
That chick-effect is kinda overrated :<
Parent
Yup, but it would still be cool ;)
Parent
Yeah^^
But if you wanna get the girls, learn sing-along songs and sing along with them. That owns! :P
Parent
Neeh, I don´t really need them, one is enough. And everyone knows sing-alongs, especially after few beers.
Parent
btw nice playing there dude. How long are you playing already?
Thanks :)
Been playing guitar for ~7 years now i think, and piano 8 years prior to that ;)
