Basically you can make a lot of crazy sounds with different effects.

On the video, As much as I want to say that vid was stupid, it wasn't. I am amazed that he got those noises from his gear.
Bravo.
Bass noises? They are long but wait till the end of each for some crazy sounds.
try http://www.myspace.com/auditoryfecalflinger
the first song is an Electric EUB and a sax. 1 take on each.
second song is an electric bass and a sax 1 take each. Thats what happens when I get board at the age of 16 and you are listening to minimal music.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Northern Sweden | | I make something that I call a sonar sound (which is obviously a rather bad name since sonar generally operate with infra- or ultrasonic sounds if I recall correctly) by pulling the g-string off the side of the fretboard, and then towards my body so that the edge of the neck pickup acts as a fret. From there I pluck the string and use quite a lot of vibrato. This is done on an Ibanez SR, but should be possible with any bass with a soapbar neck pickup, perhaps even with other pickups. Anyway, a bit difficult to explain, but you can hear it at the end of the song Clear Blue here: http://www.myspace.com/ofaruin |

Sad thing is, my drummer had me listen to Dragon Force.....they are one of those technical bands.....Dream theater type wanna be bands...they are good, but after watching that......hmm...

It's cool that he's willing to share with people how he does them as I'm not a fan of keeping techniques to oneself as trade secrets. He's also an inspiration to me as a player since like him I'm lefthanded and play righty. He easily shows that you can get as technical and fast as any righty who plays a righty guitar, so whenever I have trouble getting up to speed on a difficult passage I try not to get into a rut and use the excuse, "It's because I'm a lefty." I just think, "If Herman Li can do THAT, then I should be able to do this!" and practice harder.
I've seen this awhile ago and got quite a kick out of it since I do like DragonForce. I don't think I'd compare them to Dream Theater as they're heavily inspired from power metal and don't take themselves that seriously at all. C'mon. They sing about dragons and knights and list "Signature Stage Moves" like "Hands free booze drinking" and "360degree tornado jump." |

(I'm asian, I can make fun of asians.)
And I agree with Traver. Dragonforce can't replicate their studio sound AT ALL live. Still a good band, and I'm still trying to get through their song on Guitar Hero 3.

That was a great band. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
