I mean like should both the guitarist (one being me) play the chords together. How should i set the MT-2 for this riff "-0---2---3--2- 0-2--------- --3---3---3--3-------------- ---2---2---2--2------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- --0---2--3--2---0-2--------- ---2---2--2--2-------------- ----2---2--2--2------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- " I just have a feeling that one guitarist might have to stand idle in the middle. Ho do u adlib the chords here? I have to perform on 30th of this month. Please all help required.
You like to visit your thread alot!! "ADLIB THE CHORDS ie play the each string (not all) as per the song" on that point I play chords and slowdown my tempo as per the lyrics! whats "ADLIB" These chords were orignally posted by Abhimanjrekar!!
advice --> don't do this on stage. in fact don't do this, EVER. most overdone song on the planet. I'm sure if you go into the deepest regions of the amazon and find an undiscovered tribe there and start the first 2 notes of the song, they will also know the song so well and be sick to death of it, so the only thing they can think of doing to make you stop is to eat you.
dude, y do i think those was my post tht i had put in the forum ??? hm..... @ faraz, ya man... but even though this song has been done many times, it still kicks up the people ..so dude go ahead....i can teel u my tips ..see if they r handy... intially start with the muted strummin......then adlib in O wen i look back now..and make ur keyboard enter here with the chords......and again jus ADLIB after THOSE wer the best days of my life......yaar i think ive mentioned this in my post only...the above thing..do like tht...i think i have posted small clips..check them out if u like....
OK One thing man: Get that MT-2 out of your chain. You cant sound like Bryan Adams with MT-2. Most probabaly it'll sound so metallic and heavy that ppl will think they are listening to metallica.
