thats because he's travis barker, and he owns on drums, he's not just good, he OWNS! =p bloody fast when he wnts to be too =p

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WPncumXZExo >>> he's rather good too, shits all over me anyway =p


AuCh.. he plays...

And I get to the point: band.
If it had a bass and a distortion guitar, overdriven or simply a normal electric, it would sound A LOT better. I think it's impossible to have a good music with only 1 instrument, no matter how good the guy that's playing is. It other sounds it's always better.

I have an acoustic [don't ask me what it is] and I aquired a Classical one but I badly need to get both guitars restrung, not so much the acoustic although I think the strings are more likely to go now that I've started playing with a plectrum again.

I'll have been playing for almost 9/10 years but it's only been recently that I've started teaching myself how to play again and taking it much more seriously and have considered...busking!

Ok, I live for music. So here we go.

First, we have my classical guitar, lovely for chord playing, can't beat its sound, anything else though and its worse than useless.

[Image: 08082007002oq5.th.jpg]

After that we have my crappy 'lil Yam ERG 121. Part of a starters kit thing, had it awhile.

[Image: 08082007003zd9.th.jpg]

See though, I am at heart a bass player so....

[Image: sta41510wy7.th.jpg]

This one be me on stage with my Musicman Stingray, god I love that thing.

And this one be my latest acqusition, a Shine 5 string bass. You know, because you need the extra bit on the low end.

[Image: 08082007001gg5.th.jpg]

This last one is me playing a Gibson Les Paul (unfortunately not mine) in the studio. It was a mates, he was producing the session, which incidentaly was for his own project, so he gave me the lend of it.

[Image: 09052007013vb5.th.jpg]

I've allways been into music, I started off like most do, classically. So I learned to play the trumpet. A long while after I started to pick up other brass instruments, they are all fundamentally the same, just in different keys and whatever.

I'd been brought up on a strict diet of "cock rock". So it was no surprise that I wanted to be like any of them on stage. It wasn't until fortune pushed one of my mates who played trumpet with me onto the drums in our band.  Not long after he started his own rock band. A year later he sacked his guitarist, the bass player moved onto guitar and he chucked me a bass & told me to learn it & be at rehersal on Friday. Soon after he gave me lessons on the drums and last year I taught myself the guitar.

Now wasn't that a long post :)

nice:)

Playing and singing at the same time does require coordenation and concentration... the hardest to me is strumming while singing, sometimes I get off rhythm:P because I'm left-handed and I play right-handed style, so chords for me are easy, keep a rhythm while strumming is more hard, though I can pick with my fingers easily...

Nice guitars.

My squier is also from a beginners pack.. however it's a really nice guitar, really happy with it.:P


I wish I could make a band, but I don't know of anyone who would like to... :\ playing and singing solo is all nice and bla bla, but it's better with a band.
