I've been playing guitar for about 2 years self taught and i've gotten really good for the short amount of time. I also dabble on drums a bit i'm not great but i can do simple rythms. I have an ok singing voice too. I'm hoping to start a Power Metal band but sadly noone in arizona seems to be as interested as i am.. gonk

Aye, clarity is important, even with growling. Range is also a big plus for me, high and low. I personally pride myself in being able to sing an A in full voice. Although, in head voice, I can hit a little over two E's above middle C. ********, I'n my falsetto, I can go even higher, but I only use that to sing smooth, soft passages that require high notes. Another important thing is breath control. Unless it's crucial to the music, you shouldn't be gasping for air after every words. Growling especially takes a large amount of breath.


Since the power metal world has yet to see a really good Baritone, I'm trying to bridge the gaps between baritone and tenor.

I need a baritone. What I'd like to have is two lead vocalists. Since I'm a sucker for vocal harmony, the vocals would be in constant harmony. Most songs just have harmony on the chorus. I'd be doing high vocals, so I'd need a baritone or tenors to harmonize with. I'd be awesome.

That's a great idea.

I'm a Keyboard player, of about 8 years. I play lots of classical and jazz, and I work a lot on my rock/metal band keyboarding. I also do home recording on my keyboard. I'll post some crap once i figure out why my stuff doesn't save properlly. Another buddy of mine is learning piano/keyboard, so we're gonna start a band consisting of us, both playing Keytars, and whomever else wants to join. With two keyboardists/keytars, we could do RHapsody covers and stuff pretty decently. It'll be sweet.

I'm also learning to play Bass guitar right now. I jam with a friend of mine who plays guitar quite often, which is the best way for me to learn. I'm also doing ome singing stuff. I've got a tenor, maybe a higher baritone voice.

As far as bands go, I've played in a Prog metal bands called Liquid Reality, which change to Psycotonic. I also jammed a couple of times with some guys who wanted to play symphonic/epic thrash metal with two vocalists, but it never got off the ground.

I'd really like to get into a power metal band, or a folk/viking metal band. I'd also do some melodic black metal and stuff, or any mixture of these generes. Also the idea of my playing bass/piano in a fusion metal band also entices me. How about Power fusion? xd

Well, if you guys ever feeling like packing it up and heading to Alberta, feel free. We don't have enough decent metal musicians over in these parts.

I've been playing violin for some years ago...I play especially classical but also a little folk music like celtic. I don't belong to any band...but it will be interesting to play with one sometime. I also used to play guitar...but I left it . . I prefer my violin... biggrin

I'm a guitarist, I can play some prety cool stuff but when it comes down to it, I'm no Herman Li. (If you don't know who Herman Li is, You don't deserve to be here.)

I've been playing guitar for a year and a half.

I dont think people should be concerned with how long you've played. I really only care how much time people put into it. I have a friend whos played only for 2 years now and hes gotten waay better than most standard 2 year players.

I've been trying to up my 30 minutes at day to easily 1hr 30, and trying fto focus 30 minutes on the metronome.(scales ect)

I can do scream and deep growl vocals, although i prefer to try my singing. I need singing lessons.

Now i want to get into bass. SO i can think of other perspectives and stuff. Cant be just a Guitarist, i'd rather consider myself a musican. GUitar is just a medium of choice.

Bass player here...

Just a bassist and trying to get into vocals. I'd like to master bass guitar before I tackle anything else personally.

So far I can play a few Primus songs, but that's as good as I've got. I need a fretless.

I play guitar, bass, drums, and a little key board and mandolin... i also like to fiddle around with a harmonica for blues.

The guitar is my favorite instrument... i've only been playing a couple of years, but i'll smoke you if you doubt my power...

The bass i'm ok at...

my vocals are midrange... not so good...

I'm in a Helloween tribute band, but we keep having to replace the singer, and i'm the only guitarist, so we havn't had harmonized guitar since what's his face left...

I have a black Ibanez RG-120... crappy condition...
a maroon Fender strat with a white pick guiard
a bootleg SG that just died on me not too long ago
and a Yamaha that my bro found.

I got a Fender jazz bass, and a Marshall amp... nothin sounds quite as good as a Marshall...

I play the guitar, im not a star in it but i learned all the basics myself and can play quite a few things.

Also play bass, not a star either but in metal you don't have to i guess, unless your steve harris.

keyboards also, i love to play Dimmu Borgir pieces on it and children of bodom too.

Also sing, Paul di'Anno is my role model xD Also grunt *black metal style nothing like the emo cry all bands these days use xD*

I have my own project and written quite some music to be found on youtube, it's how i like to call it progressive piano leaded metal, it's written and recorded in guitar pro it's slightly edited and no vocals are recorded, but do listen if you want:
