The Reason I havent been around much lately..

I do believe it was on the Crow soundtrack. I wish they had real notes and chords and whatnot to learn by instead of tabs, but I'll take what I can get.

Eventually I want to learn to play some stuff by Tool... but odds are I'm not close to being there yet, lol.

Tool on guitar is actually not that bad. if you know how to tune drop D, and have a good ear, Tool should come to you pretty easy.

and yes, Dead Souls was on The first Crow Soundtrack.

good ole NIN - Joy Division covers. Any of you guys listen to the peter murphy - NIN collabs doing other Joy Division songs? pretty cool if you like Peter Murphy's voice - He is from Bahaus. Pretty distinct voice, remi nds me of Bowie kinda. I like it. I saw them(Bahaus) with NIN a couple years back. Put on a pretty good show

Cool, then I'll find me some Tool tabs to get me started and a page on various guitar tunings.

I almost wonder if I'm jumping into this too fast... I've only been taking lessons for around a month and a half or so.

Drop D tuning is easy.. drop your bass string one full step. Press the seventh fret, and it should be the same as the next string.

[xRyokenx]

Ahh, hence "Drop D" then. That makes sense, lol.

[Luke122]

Yup.. all the rest of the strings are in standard tuning.

Drop D is the easiest way to get a heavy sound.

[xRyokenx]

Cool.

lol I've just barely gotten to the fifth string in lessons (and this Mel Bay book) and I'm already trying Tool and NIN songs. Hmm... I've definitely got the determination to play this but I'm not sure if I've got the skill yet. I'll keep at it and my lessons.

Now if you want to hear really good guitar playing, here you go (I've linked these before but he's getting much more amazing):

I've been playing around a little bit with Kyuss - Demon Cleaner earlier and tuned my guitar to C. I've also been looking at some overdrive, distortion, etc. pedals seeing as my birthday is around a corner or two. Anybody know of any particularly good brands that are not too expensive?

I have a big soft spot for Les Pauls. Some day, I'll be able to afford the real Gibson deal. That is a great color, too. I don't think I've really seen one in green before.
