The ESP Guitar Company

Update: I've been working hard at studying music theory, scales, the music staff itself(note placement), and other tidbits of info I can find on the internet. I can pretty much name a chord just by looking at(with my cheat sheet of course)some are easy, some are hard. I take tests all the time on naming chords. I got like a 75% average, not bad. I still have to refer to my cheat sheet a little bit when I'm looking at notes above or below the music staff. I can remember the treble cleft staff FACE and EGBDF and of course middle C, but I've yet to find a way to remember the Bass cleft staff. It is ACEG and GBDFA, there's no little saying or word to phrase with those letters, and when you go above or below the staffs you have to count out the notes referencing one of the above notes, whichever is closer, and if it's on the line or in-between lines. Every time I sit down to transcribe sheet music into tab, I always have my little cheat sheet with all the notes laid out so I can whiz right through the transcription. Well that's what I've had on my mind this week, I learned Disposable Heros by Metallica this week too, cool huh? Rock on ESP!!! Comment

Update: I find myself playing a lot of old Metallica tunes lately like: Seek and Destroy, The Four Horseman, Am I Evil(cover), King Nothing, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Master of Puppets, ect.. ect.. This must be a phase I'm going through, cause I do the same thing with Megadeth, where I'll play a bunch of Megadeth tunes like: Holy Wars, Five Magics, Lucretia(just learned), Rust in Peace, She Wolf, A Tout Le Monde, Symphony of Destruction ect.. ect.. Most of these songs I know from the past, a couple of them I just learned, I just go through band phases. Like I had a Ministry phase once, for the guitar driven songs they do, especially the song Just One Fix. I have an originals phase too, where I'll play nothing but riffs I wrote. I guess it depends on how the moon is lined up or something on what I choose to do?? Oh well....Rock on ESP!!!! Comment

Update: Well, I learned Lucretia by Megadeth, roughly, I'll continue to work on it in the coming days. It's a monster of a song and requires a lot of practice. It will be a good mission for my ESP guitars and Marshall amps, and myself also. I'm constantly tweaking my sound coming from my amps to get the best tone I can get, being tube amps they are monsters at tone. I'm gonna take some new pics of my equipment for historical/insurance reasons today, I'll try and post them up to this page ASAP. Until then.....Rock on ESP!!! Comment
