    Free sheet music

    Hello all, I've got a test coming up where I, among other things, need to sight-read some sheet music, and I could really do with some practice. So, does anyone know any websites that offers free sheet music? It doesn't have to be of any particular songs, as long as it's not just scales or...

    Band names

    I have tons of little words and sentences scribbled down that I sort of just stumble across randomly. Whenever I need a song name/band name/lyric/whatever, I go back to those and see if there are any that fit the song/band/whatever.

    How does steve harris do this stage "entertainment"

    From what I remember, the bass is being held up by the strap. As you may notice, he's bent way over, allowing the bass to sling forward while still being held by the strap. Can't say I know for sure, though.

    a question for 5 and more strings owners

    I personally just leave my tuning the same and learn to play it that way. Mostly it confuses the guitarists more than it confuses me.

    Plucking help...

    One of Myung's trademarks is exactly that, though: He bashes the hell out of the strings when in low registers, giving it that "slappy" sound.

    "My Band Logo"

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I much prefer black and white logos, don't like the ones with all the fancy photoshop effects.

    Todays "rockstars"

    Alternate Tunings for Power Chords

    You lost me somewhere around the first line. Why would you need alternate tunings to play power chords? Power chords are easy to fret.

    Playing with a DJ or synth player

    Eh, I have a hard time figuring out what you need a DJ for in a band setting, unless you're hellbent on having record scratching in your music. Going by the link you posted, however, what you're probably looking for is a synth player.

    Anyone else find slap overrated?

    I like slapping in some contexts, but what really bothers me about it is how often it is used for soloing. It's like there is no other technique you can use while soloing other than slapping. It gets old really really fast.
