Apocalyptica! "Formed in 1993[2] when four cellists, Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Max Lilja, and Antero Manninen gathered to play Metallica covers at Sibelius-Academy. They performed in an after-Christmas party as a "Jailhouse Band" at the Teatro Heavy Metal Club. That evening the line-up was Toppinen, Lilja, Manninen and Perttu Kivilaakso (who was to join the band permanently in 1999.) Among the audience was Kari Hynninen, who worked for the independent label Zen Garden Records. After listening to Apocalyptica's set, Kari Hynninen signed them on the spot to Zen Garden Records.

In 1996, Apocalyptica released their debut studio album, Plays Metallica by Four Cellos, which consisted solely of Metallica covers played on cellos. In 1998, Apocalyptica released their second studio album, Inquisition Symphony, which was produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa. Inquisition Symphony once again contained covers of Metallica, but also contained covers of Faith No More, Sepultura, and Pantera. For this album the band also decided to include three original songs written by Eicca Toppinen."

We have the Metallica CD.  They're very talented and it's a great sound.

Cool Guitarpix.  He as on SNL last night.  Love his acoustic/reggae sound. 

The thing with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell is that they like to layer guitars when they record.  Jeff Lynne got them hooked on that.  Using the studio as an instrument instead of all gigging together in the studio and recording the band as a whole.  So it's hard to get that "Big" sound when they record or even play live.  They have 3 guitars when they play live now.  Tom, Mike and Scott, plus Ron on Bass.  I have to agree with Southpaw41L, Mike Campbell is an amazing player.  Spot on, meticulous.  Melodic but very unassuming.  Plays notes that I didn't even know were there.    He's an unsung hero as far as guitar players go.  One of my favs for sure.  Great vid of them rehearshing.  Thanks for sharing Southpaw. My hubby and I jammed that song tonight.  Hubby plays bass.  So cool and fun to play.  Good luck Crizzut.  Keep at it, let us know how the search and playing goes. Cheers Heather

Zurf! I was thinking the same thing.  You just spit it out before I could.  Hilarious!  It got me to thinking though......how many different genres of music do we all enjoy?  For me, a ton!  I answered classic rock on this topic but to be honest I grew up with jazz (father a trumpet player from England and recording artist) then classical (anyone remember being introduced to classical via Peter and the Wolf?) then rock 'n roll, AM Radio 70's soft rock.  Who can forget the vocal harmonies of Three Dog Night or the Aussie favorite Little River Band.  Classic rock from the 60's & 70's as I mentioned, Beatles, Led Zepplin, Tom Petty, Eagles, Pink Floyd, too many to list.  Late 70's when the "new" country was coming online like Alabama and Bluegrass genius Ricky Skaggs.  Then 80's techno rock, Howard Jones and Depeche Mode and glam/hair rock, Bon Jovi or Whitesnake anyone?  And inbetween it all friends and fellow musicians who have influenced me.  Then as I got older (gulp) my interests turned to more World Music styles and Blues.  I'm grateful for it all and can't wait to experience what's next.  When I put my iPod on shuffle now, it's a weird oddity of music styles but great nonetheless.  I wish that everyone has an open mind and listens to as many different styles of music as they can!

Sorry not the lead parts, no. I took in the song and the basic chord structure I figured out myself to my guitar teacher and he wrote the whole thing out correctly.  So now I play some power chords, major chords and notes for the song.  Like I said, even without the lead slide it's a fun song to play.  Good luck!  Did you try a search in google for the lead?

I started out with an acoustic 3 years ago at the ripe old age of 42.  Started lessons immediately.  After a year or so I decided to buy an Electric.  My playing improved greatly after that.  An Electric is much easier to play, lighter strings, lower action and much easier to play barre chords, solos etc.  But definitely get your action checked on your acoustic, that might be part of your problem.  Just be careful not to get it lowered to low or you'll get a buzz.  You might also want to try changing your type of strings.  I use Elixir Nanoweb or Polyweb Lights.  They're a bit more expensive but last much longer.  That made it easier to play my acoustic too.  And the very last thing, practise, practise, practise.    As everyone has said.  All of a sudden something you couldn't play very well before will start sounding better and be easier to play.  I also find playing along to a recording helps with my timing.  Cheers!

Hey Bensonp,

My guitar shop doesn't sell Martins because of the way they are manufactured and shipped.  They can't get them in the winter time at all because it's too cold and they could be damaged in shipping.  From what I've been told they don't season the wood like Taylor does.  Taylor dries it's wood a long time before they even make a guitar.  So they're more durable against climatic changes.  BUT if you do buy a Martin or any other acoustic guitar a humidifier is a must, especially if you live in a dry climate, like I do.  I have one that fits inside the sound hole.  It's got a sponge inside that you get wet, squeeze out the excess, wipe any water off the outside and stick it in.  It also works in high humidity places, leave it dry and it wicks the moisture away.  Good luck!
