Larry Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Do any of you guys own a Parker Fly? Is it worth that i will part with my Strat and Tele for this? get the parker and send your Fenders my way the Parkers have good tone, and I kinda like it's quirky body. listen to Barbie or Kitchie these chicks play Parkers. but yeah don't get rid of your Fenders especially if they're actual Fender USAs Quote Link to comment
dix Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 tabs are for people who dont trust their playing. yup and i'm one of them, but tabs are waaay too much fun at last super poster na ko bwahahahaha suck it newbies !!!!!! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
jaytyah Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 tabs are for people who dont know how to play but have the desire to learn. it help build their ability, their confidence to have them do it on their own. create their own style. their own technique. like training wheels on a bicycle. you are bound to it 'til you have the confidence to do it your way. Or people trying to take a step up into playing more complicated songs. I can play easy songs by ear, but I still can't figure out the more complicated ones specially if they have a weird mix of effects. The only time I will stop using tablatures as reference would be when I can play Steve Vai's music by ear. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Joolster Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Do any of you guys own a Parker Fly? Is it worth that i will part with my Strat and Tele for this? Mga dudes maganda raw talaga tone nyang parker fly. Mas maganda raw pagka H-S-S... Kaya raw gayahn both fender and gibson tones. Yun nga lang di ko trip yung body saka headstock... Pero maganda na rin pag white yung Pickguard... Yun lang... Hahaha Quote Link to comment
reix Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 di ko na ata naabutan yun. heheheh... sa monumento tsaka sa sta. mesa ako bumibili eh. hehehehe... alam ko sa farmers plaza meron dati, wala na ngayon yun, pero malamang ang sinasabi mo e yung fade to black, wala na din yun, nung highschool ako dun ako kumukuha ng mga tabs :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
magnificent bastard Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Do any of you guys own a Parker Fly? Is it worth that i will part with my Strat and Tele for this? It all depends on the kind of music you play. Parker Fly guitars are what you call a "hybrid". you can get acoustic sounds (via peizo pick-ups) and electric sounds (via humbuckers). Im not sure if you can mix both... people i know who used parker fly are savage garden and barbie of barbie's cradle. You may want to check their tone when the used the guitar for reference. Orgy also used parker fly but they combined it with a guitar synthesizer. Hope this helps. BTW, I use a Thin-line Telecaster with Les Paul style pickups/controls/toggles through a Zoom GFX-5 and a Vox amplifier. Quote Link to comment

Sa ilalim ng Ever Gotesco meron dati ewan ko lang kung buhay pa. Rip-off na bumili ng tab na photo-copied lang. Pwede ka mag download na lang sa torrent or kahit sa mga websites. Libre pa. Sa torrent madalas galing pa sa guitar magazines. kung may PC kayo try nyo Guitar Pro or Power Tabs. Pwede nyo pakingan at sabayan ung tabs nyo. But nothing beats learning a song by ear. Pero kahit paano gawin mo, keep the music alive... rock! Quote Link to comment
orionpax Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) I dont play much anymore, the combo of piezo & humbuckers are the Parker's selling point. You dont have to lug a separate acoustic guitar for "unplugged sound" sets/gigs. If the Parker's humbuckers can imitate the sound of a Gibson SG...that would be nice... hehehe...so il probably keep the Tele Anyway...sounds can be manipulated via a music box (Pandora, Korg or a nifty guitar synth) or certain effects It all depends on the kind of music you play.

stankyou Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 ano favorite guitar effects nyo? digital or analog version? or do you go for direct amp distortion? para sa akin wala nang mas simple pa sa direct amp distortion. i prefer analog effects kung kelangan talaga. parang may kulang kasi pag digitally processed. (or should i say, masyado malinis..) well i hope you guys know what i mean. boss pedals are still the best IMO. parusa lang pag gig. Quote Link to comment
sensible33 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 im more in plucking po..but i do concentrate more right now in singing... Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) ano favorite guitar effects nyo? digital or analog version? or do you go for direct amp distortion? amp distortion only if it's a good amp (Marshalls, Fenders, or Mesa Boogies) for pedals boss of course, but there are lots of good, inexpensive pedals out there, most notable are the FAB line from Danelectro (incredibly cheap) and the Boston pedals (they have a decent delay pedal and a nice Metal Zone clone) Edited October 31, 2007 by Larry Quote Link to comment
orionpax Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Effects? i still go with classic Boss effects...Chorus, Distortion, Overdrive and a Fuzzface . I did use a generic Wah Pedal (walang brand eh) Sama mo na Korg for heavy sets (programmed) ano favorite guitar effects nyo? digital or analog version? or do you go for direct amp distortion? para sa akin wala nang mas simple pa sa direct amp distortion. i prefer analog effects kung kelangan talaga. parang may kulang kasi pag digitally processed.

stankyou Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 http://www.activemusician.com/images/store/small/EM_FX69.gif my friend had one these before. crunchy distortion. waay to loud. its like a DS-1 on steroids. i've read somewhere that kurt cobain mocked this one during a concert by trying to use one...
