    We can always speak using a guitar. It'd be easy, if you know your way around a wah-wah pedal.

    Sorry, I don't speak Spanish guitar. :3c

    Who says I don't speak English guitar?

    Hijacked American blues with overdrive and a penchant for ripping solos? Works for me!

    Actually, now that I think about it...

    I only know English guitar.

    this is mildly depressing. Oh well...

    I know some of the basics, but it's...rather complicated






    ^really complicated.

    Spanish guitar is kinda hard. Perhaps even the hardest guitar. Coming from someone who can sweep pick and tap something reasonably mean. It's even harder than conventional classical music played on guitar, in fact.

    I think that Djent is actually harder, all things considered. Spanish guitar is based on playing chords fast, either as arpeggios or as...well, chords. Whereas most Djent (The really good kind. By which I mean, the Animals as Leaders kind) is based on taking those chords, playing them as arpeggios and then creating transitions based on riffs to other chords that work as a bass line. 

    Of course Flamenco can easily be harder. Paco de Lucia does that too. It's just that it''s more of an exception rather than a norm in flamenco to do that, whereas Djent seems to do it a lot.

    Also, any form of jazz is bullshit on guitar unless you're playing just rhythm or just lead. Jazz is complex enough without trying to combine the two. -_-;

    I've found lead jazz to be easy. Just abuse octaves and chromatic scales and go wheee with the rhythm

    now, comping? comping is a bitch.

    My issue is that I try to find conventional logic in jazz. Like, some kind of system that can codify its harmony. Blurrggghhh.

    hahaha good luck with that.

    Alll things considered, I'm not exactly a good jazz player. Just...a really really bad one who can act the good part. :P

    I think I'd be best in Japanese game music. Clear melodies and simple harmonies with room for elaboration. Plus, Japanese game music tends to be pretty much power metal with different instrumentation. That's pretty much my specialty.

    We should make a Blazblue tribute band! =D

    Also have you heard X Japan or Maximum The Hormone?

    @ DYRE,last page:

    Um, I dunno. I agree with you about the main characters. It's not like I don't want to see more of them,but since nothing really important happened to them between the start and the end of the show,it's not like I'll die if we don't have more of them.

    However,I wish they had resolved Takasaki's and Sakurai's situation. They even resolved Sasahara's and Misato's and that was far less interesting.

    Also this

    ^^ Yes. Although my favourite Japanese bands are Galneryus, Volcano and Anthem.

    Hmmm. Haven't heard of Volcano. Do Japanese bands get more publcity in Kangaroo Land?

    Next semester will be a tough one, and the one I'll take electable courses in. I'm debating whether to take Technical English (read:Ordinary English) and ace it without going to class, or take something that will actually teach me something.

    Urgh, Alex I just finally read your thing and I agree with it, especially as it struck a personal nerve.

    About a year and a half ago, I had graduated college with a degree, had an apartment with some people, had a job that paid enough to get the bills paid and the occasional video game, and hung out with a bunch of cool people, went to parties, concerts, had movie nights, etc.

    Fast forward to now where some friends and I tried to get an apartment. Two of the friends bailed out and the other didn't have a job so we couldn't get the apartment and his father wouldn't co-sign and I couldn't. Exhausting a good deal of options, I finally had to move a good 600 miles back up north to my father's where I know no one (and there's barely anyone in the 18-30 age range anyhow), and there's no real job market to speak and especially not one for a college graduate.

    I really really try hard not to play the victim card on this, especially when I'm lucky enough to have a father who supports my bum ass, but it is disheartening to go around looking for work, and going as far as sixty miles to try and develop a social life and such.

    Oi. First world problems.
