okay, i've got a show comin up, and we only get to do one song, so we chose school's out by alice cooper (i'd like to do somthing like Iron Maiden or Van Halen, but our drummer just simply isn't up to it). my vocalist kinda has his stuff down already, and my bass player and i are trying to come up with things we can do to add some flair. so far all we could think of was at the end, we would come up close to eachother and pick the last notes on eachothers instruments (like i would fret my notes and he would reach across and pick my guitar and vice versa). if you have any ideas, i'd like to hear them. nothing too big though. havin an angus style seziure wont work. thanx

I would suggest a guitar flip if you have wireless connections, but I kinda doubt you do. Maybe playing behind the back or something.

If you're playing electric and you're going to be loud enough, try yelling into the pickups... that's usually a formula for a good time!

ie:
(live at the Austoria in London; Steve Vai)

To tell the truth I've never had enough volume and gain to be able to yell into my pickups. I might blow my little amp up xD

Try it with delay.... it usually works even though you hear yourself after the fact

the equipment i'm using consists of a kmg cabnet with 4 35 watt leatherback celestion speakers (thats a 140 watt orgasm right there!), a marshall head(not sure, but i think its a 250), my Jackson SL3 Soloist, and regular cables(lame.....no guitar flips). i'll have no problem with noise. as for the yelling into the pickups, which part of Live At Astoria is it in so i can see if i wanna do it.

how bout you just play? XD
PostPosted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 7:07 pm


You can't do this while playing, but "guitar sex" is an option. You and the other guitarist (or bassist) both sling your guitars to about crotch height, and proceed to rub strings together. It produces to really wierd sounds, and is great of the song being played has a groovy sexual mood to it. But it might get awkward if you and your fellow guitarist(or bassist) aren't pretty close and confident with your sexuality as well xd

yah, its a rock show, not a jazz expose *haha, i actually used a french word* it has to be cool. with stuff. playin is how it should be, but some people don't understand the music enough to be fully entertained by it.
