hey all. does metal music get any radio play in your country? and to what extent? are there metal-only radio channels or programs, or is it played only occasionally? I'm just wondering... metal gets prety much no airtime where I live (in Canada). but I actually listen to jazz on the radio. 8) cheers...

yeah, but what kind of effects would he be using... or just reverb and drive?

ggonza, Young Guitar (some Japanese magazine) does videos just like this with all sorts of guitarists...
... or maybe this link has been posted before.

anyways...

Jumalauta! It's Matias!

I wonder how he gets that killer tone...

cheers.

basically, he went to Ruokangas guitars and got his own custom made. It's a Hellcat with True Temperament frets, a Duke headstock, Polaris inlay at 12, and custom paint thingy. to sum up. Ruokangas.com has a guitar builder, so you can 'make your own' guitar there- different wood, paint, pickups etc....

go check it out... http://www.mikseri.net/user/Matias%20Kupiainen (left side, under Omat Projektit, if your Finnish is nonexistant) His solo songs and Ambutus solos are probably the coolest metal instrumentals I've heard. check out sooloskaba 56 for sure... and all the solo stuff... you can download...

Hei!

thought it might be interesting for some folks here...


...does gold hardware + white body make anyone else think of Steve Vai's guitar?

cheers!
