i've been using clayton acetal picks (.63mm) lately (the green eagle or whatever). they're really nice for both picking and strumming, and really snappy- similar to dunlop orange tortex but better imo... check them out

Minarets Appreciation Thread

So i finally got a copy of BOWA vol. 1 companion, and I was blown away when I heard this track, mostly for Boyd and Roi's parts, very well done.

I only have a couple versions of this song, Luther College and of course R2T. Does anyone have any other versions of Screaming From the Minarets?

Drilling into a Martin? Scary. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer attempts to remodel the house. Steady, steady... duh!

violin help

I am considering buying a violin, but I don't know anything about them. If anyone plays violin or has any knowledge of what I should buy as a beginner, I would appreciate it.

Dave uses a lot of palm muting, but what I do for minarets is I mute the bottom three strings with my left fretting hand and try to strum only the top three with my right strumming hand.
