yeah man screw buying one, online are just as good

cant say im really interested in them but GL

also i dont know if your into this sort of stuff or not, but you can transcribe / look at tabs of some coltrane songs, in some of his more bop songs theres arpeggiated chords that can be swept

Let me get the technique down then ill bust into the dif chords haha. thanks alot though good advice from all!! I had to work from 1130 to 7 today then went bowling and then it was too late to play so i couldnt record anything. tomorrow im jamming with my band so maybe ill try some stuff then.

alright man sweet, what guitar are you using for this?

btw if u are gonna be detuning, you may as well buy a cheap 7 string, like an ibanez universe or an rg7321. that way you are still tuned 5 semitones down, but u also have that high E string still (BEADGBE). i think going any lower than that is really going to sound stupid and fuck with the bassist

Yea i need to get a real guitar for metal, my guitar now is my dad's (its a real stratocaster, the 900 dollar one. its for jazz and blues i would say). I have been working on the weeping i think it is going well lol. i dont quite have the speed down though.

Drop C is what i like to play in, but drop B is cool too. I also play in drop D sometimes..

I need to find a good way to record guitars (Mbox2 i found is good but it costs 300 bucks so i have to save.)

for now i am just making music electronically with Reason and my keyboard which acts as a synthesizer.

uhh im pretty sure you dont use your thumb to sweep pick. You can mute the strings with it i guess... Mine just goes like hovering above the frets..

Oh yea guys check this out:
