--- Quote from: Hat ---(Also, scales are hella easy. Its the only thing I was capable of teaching myself on guitar. I remembered from piano lessons as a kid that A minor and C major have no sharps or flats, worked off a mental image of a piano, and figured out the basic scale structure for every major and minor scale from there. Of course, its completely useless if you don't know about chord structure, and what makes a decent guitar part, but hey, at least I can play the 12 bar blues)

Scales are actually rather hard, because there's a lot of them. You've got your major scale. Fine. Then you've got your church modes from that major scale. Okay, just different positions and starting notes. Not too bad. Now throw in melodic minor. Don't forget harmonic minor. Oh, and then there's the octatonic/diminished scale (only three of these) and the whole tone/hexatonic scale (two of them, fortunately). Let's not forget exotic scales, too. The more scales you know, the better your solos will be. So get cracking!
Houdinimachine:
Weird, I thought Thirteenth Step was fucking awesome. But, that's just me.
PS: Maynard barely had anything to do with Emotive. That was mainly the brain child of another member of APC.
What you consider pretentious I consider willing to try new things. Some work some don't, but I'll take "The Nurse Who Loved Me" over a good number of basic rock tunes.
Edit: Khar, I tried that song out. Interesting... the lead singer sounds straight out of bad hair metal (The Darkness wishes it was this bad...) compared with what sounds like death metal lyrics. Enh. Not my thing. As a trained vocalist, I have trouble really liking the yodel-singing done by hair metal lead singers. It works for its genre, but it's not my thing.
Bastardous Bassist:
You want a good goddamned singer, go with James LaBrie from Dream Theater. He's the best popular music singer I've ever heard.
Storm Rider:
--- Quote from: Carter ---I like all of Tool's stuff pretty well and I've never even heard of Mike Patton, Townsend, or Ayreon... and I think Dream Theater is whack.

Get rid of the first panel, replace "Metroid" with "The Glass Prison", "Nintendo" with "Dream Theater", and "Daily Radar" with "Tool".
