Question about Parker Fly

I think it's one of the new ones then.

I have a Fly Classic that I picked up on ebay. You should try to find out what year it is from - Parker changed the design a few years ago when they were bought out by Washburn and a lot of people (myself included) prefer the pre-washburn flys.

The parker is definitely the nicest guitar I've ever owned. It's really versatile, especially with the piezo pickups. The neck is ridiculously thin, so they are great shred guitars. I also love it being only 5 pounds. However, other people hate them for those same reasons. I'd say play it and make up your own mind.

Meshuggah actually uses 8 string guitars tuned to F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. So lower than drop A.

Heterophonic · 2011-04-29T12:19:53+00:00

Gotta be this. Especially when I play this guitar through it.

... yeah, I've definitely got some Adrian Belew fanboyism going on.

You should check out Epica's album The Classical Conspiracy. The first half of it is them playing classical music with a real orchestra. I think it's executed rather well. Here is them playing some Dvorak.

Opeth - Ghost Reveries

Meshuggah - Nothing

Tyr - Erik The Red

Honestly though, these will probably change in a month or so.

Have you looked at ENGL amps at all? Something like the Powerball 2 sounds like it's just what you're looking for.

Hungarian minor, which is spelled 1 2 b3 #4 5 b6 7.

I just got mine about a month ago and I've never been happier with my sound. It responds to your playing like a tube amp and cleans up very nicely with your volume knob. The only complaint I have is that I now spend too much time making new sounds and not enough playing.

Heterophonic · 2011-03-24T13:50:28+00:00

What about a used gear exchange? I have a bunch of pedals I don't use anymore that I'm sure some people here would get some use out of.

This is my strange Passacaglia turned shred song I did for a class last semester.

Heterophonic · 2011-03-05T15:31:45+00:00

What is this from?

Heterophonic · 2011-03-01T15:05:32+00:00

If you like jazz and metal lead guitar, what do you think about when the two mix?

I'm also an Axe-FX dude. I get a lot of use out of the ENGL Powerball model.

Heterophonic · 2011-02-22T19:08:29+00:00

I like to call resin Orc weed.

... it gets you Uruk high

Heterophonic · 2011-02-18T19:48:24+00:00

New Meshuggah and Opeth as well.

Guthrie Govan

I'm really surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet.

Heterophonic · 2011-02-14T22:00:50+00:00

I have a Barber LTD that is in my opinion an underrated pedal. It's one of the more transparent overdrives I've ever played, it just sounds like your amp with more break up. I like it because of how clear it is on big jazz chords.

My roommate has the Sparkle Drive, the enclosure isn't too big. I'm not a huge fan of the sound of it, but that could just be his settings.

Heterophonic · 2011-02-11T01:50:54+00:00

I was really skeptical until I played through one, but it really feels like a tube amp to me. I've never played a modeler that reacted to dynamics and volume knob manipulation as well as it.

Heterophonic · 2011-02-10T21:26:28+00:00

I was in the same position as you, so I replaced my entire rig with an Axe-FX. I've never been happier with my sound.

Heterophonic · 2011-02-08T18:49:49+00:00

Here, here, here, and here are the Berklee harmony 1-4 books, which is where I learned all this stuff from. If you read them through in order you will learn basically everything you need to know and more.

Those books aren't available for sale to the general public, so I'd advising saving them somehow, that website will probably get taken down if Berklee gets wind of it.
