  1. If I don't get into cirque, you can count me in on this project, most likely for the mineshaft theme.
  2. I found that learning guitar made me much better at recognizing chord progressions by ear.
  3. Just got home from my first tourney. Got my ass handed to me, but had a blast anyway. Should have vids soon.
  4. I always go by ear. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. Sometimes I end up with a different chord progression from the original. I call such occurrances "Remixes"
  5. Well, maybe. I should be able to give a more definite answer next week, after my cirque auditions.
  6. Dunno if it would really work this year, with MAGfest being the following weekend. Or if it does happen, it will probably be a lot smaller than last year. Just come to MAGfest, and make that the New Years meetup.
  7. Depending on how things shape up in the comming months, I'd probably be interested in doing a track or two for this. Especially if I can get the mineshaft theme.
  8. That would be the 1/4 that sucks.
  9. Definitely needs to be strictly quality controlled. It deserves to be on par with Kong in Koncert.
  10. A DKC2 project would definitely recieve my stamp of approval.
  11. I don't know. I can think of at least a few things I could do to have fun with a V-Synth XT. Things I'd do WITH a V-Synth. ... Things I'd do TO a V-Synth. What about things you'd do to TO with a V-Synth? Can't forget those.
  12. Wow. This is absolutely beautiful. This is some truly masterful guitar playing right here. I'm stunned.
  13. Haha, here's the best part; my most recent submission was rejected by a vote of 3 No, 0 Yes. Guess which three judges?
  14. Ooh, damn, I like it. I don't hear much frozen flame in there, though. I hope you guys finish this, whether or not it ends up on the project.
  15. I hadn't seen that before. And holy monkeyfucking shit, the fretless neck sounds gorgeous. How's that set up? I mean, the description says it's a fretless with a sustainer, but what's a sustainer? Is it just compression, or is there something more to it? I would assume it adds a lot of sustain? There might be some problems getting a long note out of a fretless guitar for some reason. My question was how it adds sustain. But sixto already answered my question on IRC.

  17. I guess it depends on your tastes :D:D He's not playing the solo in that video; he's finger-synching. Or trying to, and failing miserably. I have a hunch that solo wasn't even recorded on the quad guitar.
  18. Ok, looks like I'll be the first to give a direct answer to your question: How much would it cost? Thousands. Note the use of plural. Any custom guitar is gonna be expensive, and one as bizzarre as this may well cost upwards of ten thousand dollars. Where could you get one? Well, I don't know of any big guitar company that would do anything like this, which means you'd have to contact a luthier (guitar maker) in person. (please allow me to take this opportunity to pimp my cousin's business: he makes very good, completely custom-built guitars. He doesn't have a website, but you can e-mail him at rebickguitars at earthlink dot net. Honestly, though, I'm not sure if even he'd do something like this.) Now the answer to the question you SHOULD be asking: is this a good idea? No. First of all, this design would be a huge pain in the ass to build, to play, and to store. Honestly, such a guitar would have almost no use beyond decorative, "wow that looks cool" effect. It would weigh a ton and make your shoulders and back sore very quickly. It would be rediculously off-balance on the strap, so you'd pretty much need a third hand to hold it in place while you play it. And it would most likely sound like shit, no matter how well it's built. In short: if you have more money than you know what to do with and want this guitar solely for the purpose of looking cool, you might try contacting my cousin (rebickguitars at earthlink dot net), or searching for other luthiers to build you one. Don't expect any luthiers to take you seriously unless you're offering exorbitant sums of money. In shorter: forget it. This idea of yours, creative though it may be, is never going to happen.
  19. I thought Antisheep was doing something for the Gale mix along with fishy and sixto?
