Re: Whats your playing style?
Hey Strago interesting idea...hehe...
Well, i play a little bit guitar and to be honest i've never asked to myself the question about the specific style i played...Of course, i've chosen to play Heavy Metal ... but after to say a specific style like Symphonic or Neo-Classical Metal, i don't really know...I try to compose what it comes and then after, i chose what i want to keep for my songs...
I'm not a solist cause i'm not enough good to do that, but i'm a correct rythmic guitar-player tough..
My guitar is an electric Washburn N2 model.. I've bought it in 1994.
But as you know, i play only a little bit guitar, as i've chosen to sing since almost 4 years now..As i love to sing..

Re: Whats your playing style?
thats hard to answer... i try to play as many strato songs (stratosphere, stratofortress, black diamond, speed of light, eagleheart, no turning back, sos, distant skies, 4000 rainy nights, twilligth sympnony [NOTE ON TRY I CANT PLAY AS FAST OR AS FLUIDLY AS TOLKKI.... YET ]) as i can, a little megadeth, some sonata, nightwish is ok, and currently trying to learn steve vai
i cant play really fast without fuking up accuracy and cleanness, but at a mid to fast tempo i manage, im good with single string timing like stratosphere and the solos in black diamond and no turning back, getting better on standard scales, speed of light and eagleheart to some extent, i really really suck at sweep picking and arpegios
i can play nearly perfectly eagleheart, sos, no turning back, speed of light (except the middle solo, and the one string solo since i cheat by sliding continously), most of stratosphere, and everything but the solo in twillight symphony
nigthwish i can play end of all hope and crimson tide (the only ones ive really tried, sort of easy songs compared to strato)
SA i TRY balck sheep (its more like tumbling through at 150 instead of 192), 8th commandment, and full moon
megadeth i try trust, ashes in your mouth and sweating bullets
and lastly the trooper by maiden

Re: Whats your playing style?
mm probably my style is neoclasical, or something like that
Im still learning ( im just 15 years old ), my style is composed of minor and minor, mayor, diminished, melodic minor and some others. 2,3,4,5,6 string arpeggios, alternate picking and right now im working on string skeeping.
This WONT be my final style, im just exploring this style now... later ill explore more "modal" scales and some ill try to do some rare stuff jeje, i have some crazy ideas.
I have a washburn mercury and i use 0.9 dadario strings
Influences: STRATOVARIUS, malmsteen, kapel maister, rhapsody, rata blanca, symphony x, dream theater and some others, and ofcurse my guitar teacher!

Re: Whats your playing style?
My bandmates tell me my drumming style is a mix between Cozy Powell, Nick Mason and John Bonham (needless to say, this is very exagerated, I can't play half as well as any of these guys ).

My style is similar to a mix of Michael Romeo, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tolkki, Andy La Rocque, Joe Stump and Greg Howe.

Re: Whats your playing style?
Well, my turn now.
I believe that my style is dirty, like Janick Gers. im not used to create solos because i never stopped to study scales, harmonies or something...call me lazy ass for that! but, im always doing some exercises for velocity and alternate picking.
Also...im more into Maiden, Strato, Sodom and Motorhead style, i mean, in my riffs...thats a cool mix! hehe.
Nowadays im thinking to study classical guitar on a music school that is a partner of Berklee school, its 3 years and seems nice. I always dreamed to play Moonlight sonata on my guitar. (oh, dreams...so far away )

Re: Whats your playing style?
It's actually quite complex, though it isnt RIDICULOUSLY hard. That tab is also grossly incomplete... then again, it's actually tabbed on the d-minor scale like its supposed to be played, and not the a-minor like other tabs are.
Find one of the a-minor tabs and throw a capo on the fifth. (though you may want to play a few chords from the tab on different strings, the tabs i found had some unnecessarily difficult chords, when moving up or down a string makes them much easier to play)

Re: Whats your playing style?
I found a tab for the 5th a la malmsteen awhile ago, i learned bits and pieces of it (some parts were pretty boring to play). As for the other, Ive never found one.

I REALLY would LOVE to play toccata and fugue in D minor.. but some partes a little bit speed up ( the fugue ).
Also the turkish march
I have an mp3 of kapel maister live where gonzalo ( guitar player ) starts playing a improvised solo and he plays a little bit of the turkish march, really cool

Re: Whats your playing style?
wow, cool
in infinite visions, jens starts to improvize in the Chile gig, i could have swore he played part of the fugue which blended seamlessly into black diamond

Re: Whats your playing style?
Well, I play bass and I guess my style is sort of a sick-cross section of John Myung (in terms of the tapping stuff), Jari Kainulainen (in terms of runs and fills) and Billy Sheehan (in terms of right hand technique) and a lot of double bass-style phrasing (I also play double bass or contrabasso, as it's also known). I also find myself using a lot of bluesy patterns.
But my style depends on which of my basses Im playing. If im playing on my Ibanez 6-string, I tend to be more clean and try to get a more crisp, sharp tone. If I'm playing my 4-string Washburn, I cover it with distortion and gain and a ton of low end and play very chaotically. Guess it goes for it.
Of course I can't play nearly as well as any of those guys, but I try. I'm going into my second year of music at university in London, so the more stuff I learn hopefully the better I get.

Re: Whats your playing style?
at home I play every style it comes to my fingers, classical, rock, jazz, blues, just to have fun.
With bands I played at my begginings 50's 60's rocks and blues , playing keyboards and guitars, and now I play keyboards in a hard-rock band (what the hell is hard-rock anyways??) I can't name just one band, its a mix of Purple, Aerosmith, Van Halen, GnR, and a bit of neoclasical... its not a very accurate thing what we do

Re: Whats your playing style?
Never heard much keyboards in Death metal, apart from Dark Tranquility... Black Metal, I think Morfeus of Limbonic Art is the best I've heard.MikesiteX wrote:any metal keyboards....power metal/death metal/jazz even...i love playing strato and bodom! (yngwie is fun sometimes)

Re: Whats your playing style?
Actually, I can't tell anything more specific about my playing technique: I just thrash my drums in.
