UG(H)... lol. Nah I don't really like that forum. I've was readig some stuff a few years ago but the community doesnt seem that great. I was turned off by the flame wars and the apparent "holier-than-thou"-attitude ove there. What is "the pit"? Ok, here's a couple of the old ones... I'll upload some more later tonight or tomorrow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg9upv1VAG0

Nice guitar! Really like the silver purple-ish color. I wouldn't worry about the bridge to be honest, you could find some harder springs to hold it back properly if it bothers you. Or you could place a small block of wood or something similar in the space between bridge and body on the inside to hold it in place. It won't move a bit and it's free. I would not recommend trying to change it to a Floyd tremolo, not on a guitar like that. If you don't have the tools and knowledge to do it yourself it's just not worth it because usually a modification like that costs a fortune. When I worked as a luthier my tutor would charge 900£+ for something like this. Usually he would say no those jobs. You can get 2-3 new guitars that already have those bridges installed for that price... Also, it almost impossible changing to a floyd without having major tuning problems afterwards. Just to let you know. As for amps... I don't know a lot about them, I only used few real ones when re-hearsing and sometimes at the music store. I remember using the Valve Tronix though and I wouldn't recommend it. It's a solid-state amp with a very obvious synthetic tone and effects which I didn't like at all... Tube amps are the best but are a bit more expensive. Still looking to get one myself. I never owned a real amp except my old Laney Hardcore 25w solid-state amp that I got when I was 13. I currently use an effects unit combined with expression/volume pedal plugged into a stereo and have used it for six years now (don't know if you watched my vidoes but that's the one). It's called Rocktron Utopia G100 and has tons of modulations for pre-amps and effects which sound very natural and analog. Cost me about 180£ back in 2007. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/guitar_effects/rocktron/utopia_g100/ I can link you my videos so you can hear some of the presets if you like.

Bow to Leper Messiah! Nice thread, was thinking of making one myself but I didn't think there would be a lot of interest. About the arpeggio, don't use the ring finger but your pinkie instead. It's quite a stretch even between those higher frets and will feel a lot more comfortable that way once you gain some strength in it. Imagine playing the same arpeggio on the fifth fret using your ring finger, it creates much unnecessary motion and strain to the muscles in your hand. Did you fix your bridge? Is it a Floyd type? It should be aligned with the body of the guitar when looking from the sides. Maybe slightly tilted towards the fretboard but it increases the action of the strings so more force is needed to push strings down.

Analysis paralysis... Sounds about right. I just can't clear my head anymore, I just think about too much problems all day long... Yeah man, I started doing a few months ago but my medicine and depression ruined everything again... No energy, no motivation, sometimes not even any will to live. I'm sorry, I don't mean to not follow your advice but I have become so forgetful lately. Part of the depression I think... I will try as soon as I feel a little better, thanks man.

That's not true. I might care a lot about people and I'm nice most of the time but I'm not too nice... I don't let my friends push me around just like that and if they do I get pissed I'm no fun to be around when I'm pissed.This whole "let them know when to f**k of"-thing that you're trying to explain to me, I get it man. It's just contradictory in my head though because I've almost only lost friends that way. Can you mention some examples with me being like the way you explained? I want to know because that might be a key for me to unlock this door and become better as a person around people. What do you think of when you say I should add things? Anything in particular?I try to be fun. I make the few friends I have laugh quite easily... I tell them what I want, I suggest things we could do all the time but this is where that thing comes again, as I explained earlier; No one likes the same things I do and don't get interested. They turn my ideas down, all the time... So I kinda have to go with the flow and see what they like or else it won't work, it leaves me with very few choices. It's hard to play tricky when all you want is to hangout. Especially when you have a very limited number of friends you can actually see (because other have too little time/live too far away etc.) Then having problems with depression & anxiety certainly doesn't help. I know this... I have had this problem since March/April when I was prescribed stilnoct/zolpidem pills by my doctor and they have been making my life hell.I think I'm addicted. If not physically, then at least mentally and I have misused them since I got them. It started with me taking one and staying awake instead of going to bed after I had read about the effects you might get from it. As I've said earlier I've had issues with anxiety for a very long time. This makes me feel all kinds of physical symptoms; pains, aches, numbness, tensions etc. My jaw muscles are almost always tense and my jaw kinda locks into that place which makes my neck tense, leading to headaches which make me tired so I get even more anxiety thinking about that etc. The pill made all of that go away. All anxiety, gone... I got hooked instantly because of this, it also made me really creative, happy, basically like there were no problems in the world. Also, doctors don't just prescribe benzodiazepines without a major reason... This pill worked for me though, or at least I thought so. Staying awake on this pill has made me stay up for too long almost every night since I started, doings f**king weird things I don't really want to do (much like an alcohol blackout), hallucinations which were fun at the start but now they are gone, I sometimes post weird little messages on here (that's the pill talking) that I don't remember at all and it scares me. I have self-harmed too and put myself in other risky situations and almost had no recollection of it the next day. It's been a nightmare, still is but most of the positive side-effects are now gone, yet I feel compelled to still take it every night... Even though it turns me into a person I don't want to be it stops me from thinking about reality and all of life's problems... I just can't stop. As soon as I get out of this I will try to get my sleep pattern right... Thanks for replying

If hearing about other people's problems bother you, then move along... I hope someone can relate and give me some advice on what to do... Right now I feel like the loneliest person on this planet. No not right now... My entire life. I have literally no one to talk to, not in real life or online outside this place... I think about it all day long. I feel like I've tried every possible way to communicate and bond with people but in the end I always get left out or forgotten for reasons I just can't figure out. I never get to know those reasons... I have so much to offer as a friend, really... I'm good at many things that many have expressed envy of. I have knowledge about many things I'd like to share with someone who would listen... I listen... I help people. I respect people for who they are and what they feel. I'm very compassionate and I care about people... Perhaps so much that it starts to hurt me when I don't get it back. I honestly don't ask for much at all. If I do it's just someone who's there for me... That one single person that thinks enough about me to give me a call once in a while. One call from a person who can relate to my personality and mind, just to talk about things we both like. There has never been one... It seems like all stupid, superficial, self-absorbed idiots can connect with at least someone... I just can't do that. I sometimes picture myself as magnet with two positive poles... Others attract each other but with me it's the opposite and I get pushed away. On top of this, I get no real help with my problems... I've been waiting so long to get therapy but nothing ever happens. No one understands me... I don't feel like I get taken seriously but instead I'm prescribed shitty pills that don't help, just make everything worse. I've lost hope in society and health care a long time ago. I just needed to get this off my chest... I wonder if I got placed here as a punishment for something I did in an earlier life. Because really, it feels like I have...

My favorite

Tbh I'm not sure which game it is, just thought it was cool Where have you been dude? Haven't seen you on psn or anything for over a week now

If you liked that one, how about these... Some of my favorite songs by wAgAwAgA Calm and dreamy intro, progressing into faster and jazzy beats Just awesome chilled song, don't know how to describe it. To me this is drugs in music form This one is quite trippy/psychedelic, really cool flutes halfway through the song Chilled out songs, perfect when reflecting things

Been a fan of this guy for a couple of years now, really talented and mixing a lot of styles together

^^^ Hahaha! That might be one of the best out of context sentences ever xD

People asking for help with something but not f**king listening to your advice

Glad you guys like it

I also collect movie props and replicas "V For Vendetta" hard polyresin, airbrushed Guy Fawkes mask, identical to one used in the movie The One Ring replica, gold plated tungsten made by the same guys who smith the real movie ring, Jens Hansen/Weta so it's identical to real one. I have mailed a couple of times with one of his sons, Halfdan Hansen. He's sort of famous so that's cool...
