I have been playing the Bass guitar for 4 years now. My influence is pretty much Steve Harris.

That sucks. Violins are expensive as hell too.....
I played Viola... Was not as fun as guitar though

[SecretAgentMan]

Quick Question
Sambora or John Frusciante? I am trying to settle a debate of two of my friends. I was never impressed by John, but Richie occasionally blows my mind.
[/quote]
Wow two completely opposite players I don't know if you could say that one is "better" judging by their work. I think Sambora may be a little better of a classic lead player as far as solos are concerned, Fruciante's stuff can be pretty technical at times as well..a little more funky, but less solo heavy...so take your pick.

I think both of them are great

Classic Lead Player......... I have a friend who worships Frusciante saying he "changed guitar" when I think he is a Hendrix wanna be

[Free Agent]

I play acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, and I fool around every now and then on drums and piano.

To say that Fruciante CHANGED gutiar is a bit of a stretch..lol I mean the guy HAS writen a ton of hit songs, but I don't think that he's an innovator of anything.. but definitely doesn't fit into a category with guys like Hendrix or Eddie Van Halen who TRULY were innovators with the guitar. Sounds like he's just a huge RHCP fan lol

Nirvana, he likes the Chili Peppers, and is in a cover band of one. But not a huge fan. Sambo did not change but is 20 time better live than John imho, and I love both bands

Someone help me with the Snow intro plz. Little Wing is also a bit tricky. I learned the riffs, how the hell do you play that fast so consistently? Frusciante in my eyes is overrated, too many pedals in use, but that riff is tricky as hell

My money is on that he uses a looper

Snow too hard lol. Maybe it's bc I have a LP with a fatter neck. Harder to do things on them

[SecretAgentMan]

The neck is important, but I've been practicing that damn riff for a month lol. Just a little bit of progress
