Umi rocks.

the kid built a lap steel from scratch and also took a 100 dollar squire and customized it himself. the kid is amazing.

oh and that picture u have with brian may and his guitar there?
brian may is his hero. umi knows every little detail of everything (gear wise) brian may ever played.

in other words he's a freak with a queen fetish.

that umi sounds killer
brian may is frickin awesome

Halfa 08-28-2008 11:28 PM

hahaha yea

brian may does great solos. they're so well thought out and never do more than they need to, which is exactly what they need to do. i think that one of the keys to soloing over a song is just that.
when theres a good solo thats flashy and showy and is really awesome with a song, thats what the song calls for.

WOW, I admire anybody who can build their own instrument and make it sound amazing.

Nice, yeah I love that pic... to me it just embodies what he was all about. He created his own sound by building his own guitar and playing it differently then anybody else... him and Freddie were an awesome blend of sounds. Deacon and Taylor were great as well... Deacon especially, awesome bassist/song writer. I did a bit of research on how Brian got his sound but never went too far into the workings of his guitar, I do own the burns version of it and I have fun with it.

exactly. He said in an interview he tries to avoid just playing the vocal melody as a solo because most of the time it's lame. He always searched for that counter melody that wasn't there from the start but felt like home when it was.

I still dont get around

FireInCairo 08-29-2008 07:54 PM

lyrics are mainly about delivery...

Halfa 08-30-2008 03:36 PM

Meh....I kinda think we should reserve this thread for songwriting tips alone.
