Who else plays guitar?

Your fingers begin to bleed (well, almost) but once you get that...erm...stuff(?) over the top of your fingers then the strings won't hurt to fret :)
 
Thats the general concensus, i can't stand Chris' voice so i can't listen to AS, RATM and Jach is better....it just is. My friend who has a Tom Morrelo obsession learnt how to play all those solos and mimic those effects too, it's very impressive, like the wah wah at the start of Bulls on Parade. The distortion, phaser & another one i can't remember. That initially got me into RATM.
 
RATM solos are probably the only things I learn/play solo wise. Everything else bores me, for the most part. Play abit of some At the Drive-In solos, but they don't bother with them much, which is fine with me.
 
Sometimes at night I can't sleep and I sit in my bed wondering why. I think I've finally found the answer. I'm not as good as sea at guitar, nor will I ever be. He is king.
 
I hate Shredding.

It's not the fact that I can't actually do it, it's just that it doesn't sound nice to me at all. I'm more of a melodic person tbh.
 
Nothing can stop pressure now....really..nothing can stop him now.

Shredding can be incredibly melodic - just listen to any Necrophagist solo. However, a lot of guitarists just don't know when to slow down, and shredding without melody can be really, really shitty if not done in the right context.

I don't have any videos of myself because I'm just not that good. I admitted to not being as good as that guy - I just said I could play at the same speed, which is not difficult. Once you get the picking motion down it's just a matter of being able to learn the scales and play through them really fast, which, again, takes time, but is not particularly difficult.

Granted, if you don't normally use fast picking, tremelo picking, etc. then I can see why playing quickly could be quite unsettling. I do assume that you all know how to do alternate picking... some people I know have been playing for longer than I have and had no idea about it; once they learned it, they improved their playing by a very large amount very quickly.

yeah, i have a friend who played for 7 years and didn know what a minor or a major scale was. but when he learned them, he executed really fast...

That's hardly better to me. I actually want to pee on my computer when I listen to that.
 
My fingers bleed even with those. Some say it's because I play so hardcore... and that's true.
