I couldn't think of anything else to do, and I just one day remembered " 'ang on, one or 2 of those old G 'N' R tunes have  good chord progressions for soloing over".
Fortunately, the backing track eliminates the vocals as wellLOL

What brought that up?


I got really bored one day, and downloaded the backing track to one of their songs, only because the chord progression during 2 minutes of this song is really nice to play solos over, even though I don't like the rest of the songLOL


You must have been really bored. LOL

Their influences are pretty much my favourite bands and artists.

I'm not sure of Alex will like them though...

Why wouldn't I?

Have you heard any Ahleuchatistas, Upsilon Acrux or even Fred Frith?

I like that style of playing.

Yes I'm weird.

Don't let that get to your head though, that's not saying much


Haha, true. LOL

My excuse for when people rate my album low: "But Album 2 (Ex Anima) is WAY better!!" Tongue

I guess, the inclusion of sweep picking/tapping, makes it more 'mathy', but I want be putting in complex rhythms, odd time signatures for the sake of making it math, if it comes out mathy/mathier than 'normal' post metal in any way shape or form, it's because I wasn't even consciously trying to make it sound like that.

Anything is better than that.

Except Che Whathisname and Cliff Richard.

Not that I have heard Torman Maxt mind you... I shouldn't judge something I've not heard.

You could probably mix in some.

And you need heaviness.  That's the problem I have with Post-rock... it doesn't have enough heaviness and when it does, it just doesn't fit.

I really like The Pax Cecilia's album though... that mixes genres nicely.


Ohh, it's heavy, I want to make at least, a 5 song EP.
Post Metal is the core of the sound...heavy chords is where it's at in the core sound.
The thing with how I approach the post metal sound, is that I take the guitar chops I've learnt over the years, like tapping/sweep picking, but I don't make solos out of them, but use them to brighten/darken the chord structure if that makes sense, it's about taking what is normally used for melodic soloing purposes and turning them into textural devices instead.
If you listen to Russian Circles, they actually have a lot of finger tapping going on in their music, but it doesn't sound 'w**ky' or anything like that, because it's about the texture than soloing, and that's how I'll make my approach.

I don't mind quiet, ambient parts but when they lack feeling, well, it's not my thing.
