I have and I find it retarded, I don't understand why people want to consider guitar playing a competition
any "crossroads" -like stories out there?
Alas Gandalf lives, Middle Earth is again safe...
guitar battles
have you guys ever been "challenged" to a guitar battle?

Never done it, but then again most guitarists from where I'm from completely suck. By completely suck I mean they literally refuse to learn anything new once they figure out what an open chord is because they're so 'badass' and dont' want to mess with their style.

I post regularly on guitarbattle.com. It's kinda pointless, fun nevertheless. Really opens your eyes to the vast amount of talent on the internet.

The internet just shows you how big the world is and how small it is becoming. You are 100% correct though, there is mad talent out there. I just wish I had it. It is work for me to improve a little and I see others who just take to playing like a duck to water. I dont think of it as a battle as much as a comparison of skills.

i dont think i'm going to bother having a battle against some on guitarwar or guitar battle but it does show you how much talent is out there and i love listning to other people. I always thought that the only good guitarists were the ones in famous bands. I have now realized how many people who are hardly famous that are just as good or better.
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

No man, I just dont see the future in it. That is like those rap battles. Each one trying to out do the other. I make music not war. I see what we do as a meshing of style, tone, feeling, and soul. I just dont wanna do battle with that. What I would like to do, is somehow get all these guys and gals(I Suffer) together in real life and just Jam. How cool is that.

That would be a cool idea. I would love to play with some really good people.
I still wouldnt mind having a guitar battle just to see if people do actually think i'm any good.

Post some Mp3's so we can hear you. I will give you my most unprofessional unbiased opinion. But I promise, I will be gentle

I will see if i can get a song done and put it up here soon. You should too, i would love to hear you play.
I havnt got a decent song up on the net yet. I really do hate my tone though. Maybe if my friend does get a small tube amp he could bring it round and i will use it to make a song. Or i might do 2 songs. One with a 15 watt tube amp and one with my 30watt solid state amp just to show people the difference in quality of sound.

Give me a month or so and I will see if my instructor will let me use his studio and I will try to put some of Stevie Ray Vaughans "Pride and Joy" on a Mp3 and post it and you can tell me if I am getting it right. That is the new song I am working on with him right now. I want to get my blues style working.

That should be good. I have a couple of songs i've done. Maybe i will just take one and improve it. That way it shouldnt take too long. It will probably be more of a metal song but i'm going to try and put some nice melodic solo's in it too :)

I have been challeneged, but i havent ever done anything about it.
Lately i done covers of dream theather, like my favorite song "lines in the sand" among others, and metallica. Plus i have alot of originals. So i was thinking of joining guitarwar. Maninly just to learn more about tenchnique, recording tips and all that good stuff.

i used to well me an the other guitarist in my band would try an out do each other but that was when he was far better than me an i was not thinkin right an trying to prove myself its silly. guitar isnt about who can solo better, there are far more aspects to it suchas writing an putting feeling into what you play. now im as good guitar player as my other guitarist i dont feel the need to show off. (i say as good but were different he is a v. technical soloer an not a great song writer, whereas im messy soloer tho i like that, an a better song writer). but i would hold someone who can create more original and intersting ideas over someone who can solo well.

The reason i'm thinking of joining guitarwars is not really to compete and win. I would like to join just because i could learn from other people and they could tell me where i'm going wrong and help me improve my playing.
I think what most good guitar players should aim to be technical and be able to have feel to there playing. Thats what i lack at the moment. I am good at playing really fast but dont really know how to create my own songs and add feel to my playing but i guess that will also come with practice and listning to other people play.
