    I play acoustic guitar and bass for the 11th years now and I finally started to sound good enough to perform and join other musicians that are professionals…it will take some more time, dude….

    Also, I have a 6 string guitar (acoustic) and I’m too damn intimidated to play it anymore. Not that I don’t want to, but two months on figuring out how to place the fingers without touching multiple strings, only to slide them higher and never do chords from high E to low B (pinky highest, index lowest) makes me feel cheap. Mainly the spacing between the strings. I’m thinking a bass guitar may be easier for finger placement and don’t “enforce” multi-string notes too much.

    For the record, in metal, I need all kinds of vocals, melodic, growls, and screams. Screams seems easy, but it’s hard to stay on “level”. Growl can be difficult, though pig screams are RIDICULOUSLY HARD to do!!! But melodic is universal.

    Actually, singing takes a lot more talent, jackass. Screaming is the pussy way out.
