What do you play right after you plug in? - Page 3

G chord. Never lets me down: Sounds good? - Keep playing. Sounds Bad? -Tune.

TheBotquax · 03-24-2012, 07:14 PM

on my 8, some stupid 0 1 meshuggah copy cat riffs.

on my 6, some stupid 0 1 meshuggah copy cat riffs, only 10 semitones higher

If a clean tone is dialed in: Rhythm Changes in C, just simple triads once through to get it fresh in my mind, then a second pass with some simple arpeggios instead of chords.

If the gain is up: Symbolic by Death, Redneck by Lamb of God.

Aevolve · 03-25-2012, 01:32 AM

On 6 - Haunted Shores Chord, then Insomnia by Periphery or some of my own material
On 7 - Haunted Shores Chord, then Flourish by The Contortionist or some good ol' Icarus Lives solo, then maybe eventually my own material.

I usually keep things mixed up. Anything from Deftones to The Facless. Lately it's been Sad But True's main riff in B Standard

Except its actually "Letter Experiment" that I'm referring to.

See, this is the kind of stupid crap I'm talking about...

Blasphemer · 03-25-2012, 04:11 PM

Some of my own riffs, LTE's Acid Rain, Isolated Incidents, and usually a shitty attempt at Tempting Time

arkansasmatt · 03-25-2012, 06:15 PM

pantera always. always pantera 1st then scales and my own riffs.

Spaceman_Spiff · 03-25-2012, 06:35 PM

The first thing i do to check how it sounds to my ears at that time is pop the switch to the neck pickup and play some E ionian holdsworth type run that sounds similar to how i write.

My writing and playing style is pretty weird, and relies a lot on improvisation, so after that i just improv some stuff in whatever key or mode i feel like. And a lot of the time I just ignore theory and see where my fingers go.

RideFour15 · 03-25-2012, 06:57 PM

E & A minor, G & C major chords for tuning check.
A bunch of random At The Gates riffs.
Benighted by Opeth.

I'd probably do more if I played guitar for more than 10 minutes at a time lately.

SkapocalypseNow · 03-25-2012, 07:02 PM

In standard I have a tendency to play a friend's rendition of an old blues song called Nobody's Fault but Mine, or Vicarious by Tool if it's in drop D. My guitars practically live in open D minor lately, so more often then not, I play the intro to Ghost of Perdition by Opeth.

DmcV · 03-25-2012, 08:45 PM

The beginning riff of Tractor Pull by Within The Ruins.
... Man, I love that riff haha

jjcor · 03-26-2012, 03:15 PM

G Major scale run. No particular reason either.

MAJ Meadows SF · 03-27-2012, 03:25 AM

Tune, a chord or two, scale run, honestly whatever I am feeling. 6,7, or 8, it's not often the same. But to hear intonation, harmonics, and overall resonance, I always play a few measures or about half of Vai's "Die to Live".

Metal_Webb · 03-27-2012, 04:30 AM

My guitar.

Depending on which one I'm using it'll either be chugging on an F followed by mindless clean derping on the higher strings, ripping off Amon Amarth in B standard, or trying to be Devin in Open C.

Dayn · 03-27-2012, 04:37 AM

I let loose a thunderous, metallic 'clang' on my low low E string.
