Hey Magnum. Awesome guitars man. You have to do A SY song some time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />




I'm sure you can play those better than I can play the Sax. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Magnum22,
Nice Axes man!

tedwca,
Classic story! oh man.. the guy's eyes must've been like <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

i don't know if i'd keep my composure if i ever met slash. my first casette tape was a gnr mix tape my big sister gave me when i was maybe...7? die hard gnr fan from then on. i always wanted to play an instrument and figured i'd never be able to play guitar so i tried other stuff i thought would be simpler, never went anywhere. one day my friend's mother sold me a suzuki for $20 and i practiced the clean riff from metallica's One. once that popped out it was eight hours a day of metallica for the next three years. i really played nothing but metallica songs and i became kirk hammett. i eventually realized and started playin other stuff. i recently sent a friend some of my own songs and got the best compliment i've ever recieved: "you've been on repeat all day."

keep an eye open for the the scrap yard medley thread.

If you send me a sample, I'll forward it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

guess i'll have to visit a studio. all my recording are crummy, home studio quality. i'm not a great singer either.

I play the viola. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's between the violin and cello in size and range, and is played on the shoulder. I'm finishing up my bachelor's in viola performance right now (yes, I'm finishing my BM) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
In feb and march I audition for grad schools in Cleveland, LA, Boca Raton, and Boston. I've been playing for about 15 years.

By the way, you think drums are expensive? Whoo! Try to find a professional quality viola and bow....but sell your house first! OUch!

Magnum22,oooh can't wait for that one!

That is awesome. I have a friend whos mom plays Viola in the Charlotte symphony orchestra. The Viola has a really nice sound. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here ya go Magnum22. Now send me the mp3 file <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Hmm, second thoughts about putting it on a public forum. Email me or I'll email you.

i gotta say....this is more than a little exciting. glad this tread came up and followed the course it did.

WOW, this has been a fun thread to read!

My dad played piano with the Boston Symphony for a little while. Saddly his musical talent didn't wash off on me. But I listen to music real well.
