I love the dissonant shit in the beginning of that.








Also: i just discovered a folder full of useless stuff in open tunings that i can't do a fucking thing with.

Like, what the fuck was i thinking with this gem? From 2007:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so ... D=10441338

Like what, i was going to try to play the drums to that or something?! Why did i even record this?

Also dig those hot Guitar Rig craptoanes.

You recorded it because it's sick as fuck!
I would love to hear that made into a whole song.
Or atleast something with that riffage..

I want to steal it.

Good luck figuring out how to play it. I don't even remember. I only remember that the tuning was retarded and that i never used it for writing anything else.

Maybe I'll take the time to transcribe just bits and pieces I want and bastardize it.
Any idea what root note you were tuned to..?

No man, you would be better off just writing your own riffs in the same style, though i cannot for the life of me imagine why you would want to.

Well, I gotta figure out the chord progressions and whatnot to write in that style, mang.

There are no chord progressions! It is just about 100% atonal.

It is more based on picking patterns and rhythms than on anything tonal.

The way it was written, was basically to just turn tuning pegs until open string notes sounded interesting, then play some kind of silly pattern, then adjust the tuning to get certain random notes instead of other notes. It was totally about training the tuning rather than training the fingers. Even still there are a couple spots that i vaguely remember had like seven fret stretches!

Just a total experiment. And just completely atonal.

Hence:


The whole thing is a disaster.

I wish I could bring a guitar to work.

Highly considering one of these:

and storing it somewhere in the office. I never get to play anymore















That is a pretty angry song chris

Also, i was just listening back to it, and you can totally hear the strings acoustically, so it must not have been Guitar Rig. But i have no idea what amp it could have been that would have sounded so shitty.

A fucking classic.

Also, Dev, you should totally get the nasty grean one:



It is like pistachio pudding.

Ohhhh I do like that.

I am getting one after my tax return me thinks. I need a travelling guitar, I am at a lot of places and situations where I could be playing if I had one.

Yeah, i think that is my favorite color they have for their guitars.

Like this classy mofo:

I'd just like to add that Chris's riff in the OP is sweetness.

Yes, in fact that is the JM I plan on buying

One of the reasons I chose the red traveler. I don't like my guitar colors repeating.
