Some guitar stuff (in video format)

[Desimodontidae]

So I've been practicing a lot. And I came up with a few licks. Maybe they will inspire someone to come up with stuff of their own. Just let me know what you think.

Nice, nice. Better than me at any rate.

Cool. I find it weird that you find three finger tapping harder than two finger tapping, because I kinda find it the other way around. I find a little harder to maintain a tap when there's an open string in there... It tends to do odd things.

Thanks for the feedback, i will post more when availiable!

Yeah. Well when I first started tapping, I learned Metallica's "One" solo... which is what I actually play at the beginning of the video. I have difficulty with 3 finger tapping because I've only recently included it in my playing style. Also, I try to put my fingers in weird positions to make unique sounds, because, if you're not careful, it's really easy to make it sounds just like 2 finger tapping... and why work harder for the same sounds?

The one open tapping lick is just like

|-0-2-3-5-3-2-0-| on the high E, hammer the 2 and 3, tap the 5, then pull off to descend. then just replace the tapped 5 with other notes ascending the Em scale, (7, 8, 10, 12, etc...)

That is a very basic lick with open strings incorporated... I really can't explain how to make it sound good, but I will say it doesn't sound so great once you get around the 12th fret +...

This one is a song... "If I was an Emo Kid".. pretty self-explanatory..

Couldn't hear a thing you said in that video.

[Hell Angel]

Ditto. Except for the VERY beginning, but... it was the title.

Sorry, I know the guitar was a bit loud and also I am not a singer so my singing voice isn't that loud. Which is why I had to put the lyrics in the description.

Arpeggios From Heck:

Heck? What?

Oh. I see. It's because it's retarded.
Occurring or developing later than desired or expected; delayed. Get it? It's word play!

[Desimodontidae]

..what?

Anyways. This really isn't "creative", just me messing around, but its improv, which is kind of an art, right?

Improve? Heh, I don't think I've ever played an instrument without it being improve... Hell, I don't think I've ever played an instrument*!

Pretty neat sounding. It could be a little better, but it could be a hell of a lot worse, so read my mixed message how you will.
* Kidding! I've played instruments of assorted varieties before, but none very well.

This an actual original song I wrote.

Most of it is very flat, lacking any defining characteristics. A few parts get to be mildly interesting, but there's not a whole lot going for this song other than mass repetition of the same thing. Can't rate this very highly, to be honest.

[ThexXtremeXx]

nice rhythm, but it actually needs to be less repetitive.
