    RUclips sent me here but fun fact: Back in 1997, senior year of high school, I met a guy named Jesse Cardinali. He wore band shirts from bands I had never heard of. We sat next to each other in class and he noticed I was listening to Slayer (Divine Intervention) and asked if I wanted to check out some stuff he liked. He handed me three CD's: Cannibal Corpse (The Bleeding), Death (Symbolic) and Carcass (Necroticism)...... the rest is history.

      @viniciusbertucci 3 года назад

      Wow I didn't even know this post had replies until now! I prefer the classical position myself. I think some might not like it because it forces you to set your back straight, whilst on the popular position your back gets more relaxed (but it will lead to bad posture in the future).
      The main difference for me, though, is in my fretting hand (left arm). My left arm stays much more relaxed and natural in the classical position.

      Hal Leonard's "Best of Cannibal Corpse, Guitar Tab Edition" is decent, I bought it on Amazon... Not everything is 100% accurate, as with MOST tabs out there, but I'm having fun with it, and it's a great starting point for CC in my opinion. Also, check out Songster online, there are some good ones there too (and free). But ALWAYS take online tabs (or even published tab books) with a grain or two of salt. Some are just absolutely horrible! Anyway, happy hunting, because I totally agree with you: they are very hard to come by!

    Wow, have really great ones in there! Some I got into watching then got down since they were only specific parts not the whole song or most of it. I get your title for the video. Ending with Canibal and Death nice touch of dfferent playing styles. That room size you are in, it could be a Master Bedroom Closet size. The width is just enough and is a great choice as your recording studio! When recording, I know it will be better with smaller space for quality if using mics not DAW's or any USB Dirrect pugin for the acoustic chambering. Using a set of Studio Speakers on Tri-Pods, is a good idea. I am using a set of older JVC 2.1 Channel Hi Fi Speakers with a 100-watt Solid State Stereo Amplifier. The two speakers share the Bass output power. Hence the 2.1 Channal. It is a nice stereo monitor system for the price I paid in total. The Desk space is small to me with all I have on it. The amp is so powerfull I can not use it at full range. The Amp will blow and will need to reset the Power adapter due to clipping if I do that. I use the speakers for audio to my Gaming PC I put together. Yes, I should play those to get better styling and ideas to create better music. It has from over the years to watch other guitarist play like you upclose in a controlled encoirment and think to myself that does not look that difficult. Then if I try to play it is like man this is difficult, ha. Having Carpletunel does not help either. Oh well, I love to play.
