Off topic chat. Basically anything that doesn't concern halo or halo modding can go here.

People who have a true passion for music could care less, anyone who plays for fashion needs to die.
agreed, music is all about passion

Wrong. Horribly wrong. Im sorry I didnt read the first page ;_;

But yeah, Im more into Metal on guitar (I can play the rhythm guitar to a few dragonforce songs ZOMG ACHEIVMNTS).

Usually in either Drop D or Drop C with one step down. Drop C for Job for a Cowboy and Killswitch Engage. Drop D for Trivium, Improvising, etc.
Regualr tuning for Metallica ^.^

I play guitar, bass, cello, french horn, and keyboard.

guitar / bass: ~3 years
cello: ~year
french horn: 6 years
keyboard: i have no idea

Drop C / Drop Db, mainly because I play metal / metalcore.

God forbid anyone does anything productive in their life. For me it was the exact opposite, I played games before, and then I realized that I could spend my time playing music.

i agree, games are awesome, but i'll never let go of music. what's even crazier is how the circle of 5ths and 4ths works out on everything! i can use the circle of 5ths to transpose from concert key to Bb key (trumpet) by just going 2 spaces clockwise, and relative minor is just 3 spaces clockwise! the next space clockwise to the one you're on is the 5th note of the space's scale you're on.

trippy.

by the way, anyone in the middle tennessee area, my friend's band "the skamunists" are playing at the mercantile in franklin at 6:30. $5 to get in (i think). i'm gonna be there, get a recording or something.

yes it is :D
I love it to death, it's been a great beginner guitar
though it's a bronze series of the Warlock it's sound is decent.
