  1. *Decides to push point* This is really prime cretin material' date=' about as relevant as the Daily Mail, or Winger, or something. I mean this bunch of cracker redneck fuckin hicks prime source of inspiration haven't been any good for 22 years, what a waste of fine tonewoods and hairspray.[/quote']

    Get off the fence...

  2. As with everything, my view is to stand up for your own beliefs...

    ...but that doesn't mean joining a massive organization of some sort which at some point will be influenced by capital and world politics.

    Personally, I have no faith, although I primarily don't believe in aetheists. They claim that the lack of proof of a God is enough to disprove 'his' existance, yet there can be no solid proof that shows one doesn't exist.

    You've either got God, or you're agnostic.

  3. Phrasing is the key in any solo.

    As for what notes you can use. It depend on the style.

    Generally' date=' you want to resolve on a chord note (a note found in the chord being played currently).

    Scale soloing can be of use to get you started but you generally want to get a bit beyond that as it can be quite limiting.

    It is also a common view that descending scales sound less like scales than ascending scales so you can get away with playing them more often. Also if you start on another note of the scale (i.e the 3rd) and play it downwards, it sounds even less like a scale.

    In summary: phrasing and not sounding like a scale is the key.

    Aeolian (natural minor) and major are probably the first two scales to learn for playing rock solos.[/quote']

    Snore...

  4. I bought a Boss Loop Pedal, and it's amazing for practicing solos and general jamming on yer lonesome.

    They do a stompbox sized one too. Not sure how good it is, but it's way cheaper than the double pedal dealy.
