I didn't mean to imply all their songs are simplistic... I hardly know any Cure or Joy Division. Just following on from what Ax said about some of their most simplistic songs.

I disagree. There are some very complex songs I've learnt recently that are so much fun to play in their standard forms.
Admittedly, improv is a LOT of fun.
I bet Dream Theater have. "That's too easy ... better insert twenty more notes into each second."
I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't bother. Unlikely I'll ever be good enough to play in a band, let alone know other people who want to form one. I find it hard to just stuff around for no reason; I need a purpose, an end goal.

The thing is, the less theory the musician knows, the more they are forced to rely on melody to create compelling music.
That's not neccesarily bad.

Again, not implying there is no value in playing other people's songs... I'd be screwed if I believed that
Just saying maybe someone's whole aim shouldn't be only to play tabs. 
As someone who can't make up music, I value that ability highly in others.

Granted.
That sounds more like post-grad, although maybe more for your mature-age students...
I don't know why I ever thought I'd have a chance of fitting in at university.

Recording needn't be your ultimate end-goal. If you enjoy making stuff up, go for it.

I'm pretty sure I was one of the only students in Halls, if not the whole campus, who never once got drunk or laid or high while I was at Uni. The only times I stayed up till dawn was playing computer games.
I've suspected for a while that the input might be fucked. Guess I'll have to take it to be checked. I just hope it's something repairable, because I'm not sure I want to buy a new guitar, especially not after splurging on a camera.
Still melting in the heat there, eh?
In my case, I've forgotten just about all the theory I ever knew, so I'm probably violating numerous rules.

oops.. Hi GG!

I'm failing to see the problem, unless you're looking to write something like Junta-era Phish, DT or King Crimson.
No plans here.
And boo on the boring trains.
*has been wrestling with brown paper packages tied up with... masking tape*
Cool. Usual time then?
This is also probably good because it'll avoid me staying up until 5am and bothering Ashley on IM as I come up with bullshit music and lyrics.

GG2! What's up?
Yeah, I'm thinking much more along the lines of ... not necessarily post-punk, but something bearing similarities to that.
I'd love to come up with some atmospheric, ethereal stuff like SOYCD or The Sky Moves Sideways, though.

Gilmour and Wilson didn't use music theory either.

Oh, I didn't realise GG2 had posted! 
I can't believe you lived on campus, heh. I originally applied to live at one of UQ's halls of residence, but wimped out and got my own place because I knew I wouldn't be able to stand it there. Not just the small room and lack of privacy, but the simple fact that there's no way I'd fit into the culture. Sure, I may get drunk occasionally, but it's funny, I'm more comfortable getting drunk watching the rugby alone than in social situations - when I'm with people, I'd rather not get beyond tipsy as I'm focusing on talking to them.

I'm guessing a few effects would probably help with that...?

Jesus nonexisting Christ. The thread moves so fast today! Mornin' guys!Oh, I know. I just don't know if I could come up with anything like their sprawling atmospheric compositions. Doesn't help I have no effects or anything.

The atmosphere is in the fingers.
Might cost you $20 to get fixed?
Yeah, it's still like 28.
Ah, well, that's fine then. I would like a new guitar in all honesty, but with my photographic hobby taking off, I've enough expenses coming up as it is!
Yikes. It's been consistently 17-19 here today.
