Keyboards for 25 yrs and guitar for about 20 yrs. Played in various bands thru high school and for some years after-mostly heavy metal and 60's stuff.

Currently playing a mid 70's Hagstrom Swede thru a Fender tube amps(early to mid 70's). Yeah I bought them new. Sold the keyboards some years back.

Guitar: 4 years

Bass: 5 years

Drums: 2 years

Vocals/Backing Vocals: 3 years on and off

 

I've been through six bands in that time, mainly as lead guitarist/backing vocalist. I did some guest bass work for a friends band, all of that actually got recorded, but he had some problems with some of my views on life/religion, and we just decided it'd be best not to speak to eachother. I never got around to seriously playing drums for anyone, I did some of the drumming on my current bands demo, due to the drummer being sick. I do also write all the music (Guitar, Bass, Drums etc.) for my band, and did so for two of the other bands I was in.

 

I never really cared to learn entire songs by other people/band's, although I did take the time to learn my favorite pieces/riffs/solos/ of a few songs. The only stuff I've transcribed is my own, and that was so the other band members could learn the song. The only lesson I ever took was to learn how to fine tune my instruments, learned everything else (techniques, terms etc.) I know now by playing by ear and trying.

 

 

Just for the hell of it, I perfected playing the intro and first few riffs to Slayer's "Raining Blood" behind my head! :jester:

^ Awesome, Seasons in the Abyss is also one of my favorites, did you ever try covering Angel of Death or At Dawn They Sleep?

 

I could never pull off Angel of Death due to me not being able to synch the singing and playing, At Dawn They Sleep was fairly easy though.

 

On another note, I wish I could play the Saxophone!

no. the only Slayer we did was Seasons. fortunately, all I had to worry about was vocals.

 

Ah, well that's still cool.

 

Does making techno/trance/hard house count. I have 4 different programs I use, Reason 3.0, Magix music maker11 deluxe, Sony XMC, and Ableton Live. Oh and i play the kazoo

 

I'd say so, music is music no matter what you're playing... except for the kazoo and triangle!

who wants to join the SilveradoSS band?

 

OK, I'm in!!! Someone lay down a bass or drum backing track, then someone add a guitar lick, then we'll come up with lyrics... It'll be kinda like those forum posts that each person gets to add three lines to a story, then the next person takes over and so on...
