Haha I tried to google her and didn't find anything. She's keeping a low profile, it seems...

You have a blackish world, it seems I'm just fine, although I'm shocked that I played the guitar only 2 hours today Or wait, is it supposed to be the normal playing time for each day?

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT MUSE'S LIVE PERFORMANCES?!? Morgan could never do all that crazy stuff without his glorious CABASA

(^seriously though, what the duck...? )

Okay, what the heck? Such a short message and I still managed to use over 15 smileys...

Btw, what are your usual amp settings?

My plans are always great

Gooooooooooooooooooooood

It's this one girl. I don't even know her that much, but she's a friend of my ex-crush. I don't know if you can see it, but: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000414129990 I gotta admit, I don't believe that I've got even the slightest chance with her

Ah, the awkward moment when you realise your smiley failed...

So, how're things going in the Zeta World?

IT'S NOT A SHAKER, IT'S A CABASA!!!!!

(^don't ask...)

I would, but I'm just too lazy to do it. I'll just sit here and write something to you instead

Stop hoping and start realizing that you really are making good process

Oh, the irony...now I'm talking with my ex-crush about how to approach my new crush

Maybe, maybe not I don't really see myself as a talented guitarist

Freddie...:cry:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!11!!!!!11!!!!11!!11!111!!!11111 /caps

Yeah

I'm in love with my amp again It gave me so much good tones today

BUT MY STUPID D STRING RUINS IT ALL BY SOUNDING LIFELESS AND MUFFLED I really need to change it...

Yeah!

Well, you're making good process, I think?

Yeah... I told my ex-crush that I had a crush on her, and of course it was awkward for a while (because she obviously didn't feel the same way), but now our friendship's better than ever

Yeah, I've been playing since 2009...though I can't remember when exactly.

Yeah, Queen is just amazing

OH NOES! WHO'S GONNA WRITE THE NEXT ALBUM NOW?

Bloody tired...Off to sleep now

Maybe, maybe not...

Yeah, I need to do that too...I'm just too lazy to do it

Great!

Oh well, today I turned my amp on...and everything sounded amazing!!!

...

I know the feeling...but if you truly are good friends, your friendship will be just fine, no matter what happens I know this from experience.

(I can't )

Damn, you've been playing longer than me...

Hmm...well, my current top 10 seems to be something like this: Muse, Radiohead, Queen, Death Cab For Cutie, The White Stripes, Placebo, Coldplay, Porcupine Tree, U2 and Elbow.

Well, I'll do the same. I'll list my favourite songs from each band above.

Muse=Citizen Erased

Radiohead=Karma Police

Queen=One Vision

Death Cab For Cutie=Transatlanticism

The White Stripes=Seven Nation Army

Placebo=Without You I'm Nothing

Coldplay=42

Porcupine Tree=Blackest Eyes

U2=Where The Streets Have No Name

Elbow=The Birds

Usually I just play guitar or go to the computer.

OH SHIT!!! A ZETA! MATT, COME HERE, QUICK!!!

I've been feeling much better now. Of course I'm still slightly depressed, but not that much at the moment.

Yeah, .52 sounds great on the 6th string

Oh, cool I was with my former crush last sunday and we had fun

I so want to kill my guitar and amp now I can't seem to get any decent sounds out of the amp anymore. Maybe it's just me, though. Still, it's bothering me. Today I spent almost 3 hours trying to tweak my amp settings. Oh well, maybe tomorrow I'll turn my amp on and everything will sound great. Who knows?

Off to sleep now, I'm bloody tired...

BUT

ONE FINAL QUESTION

*drum roll*

How are you? (very original, I know...)

BUT

STILL MORE QUESTIONS

*drum roll* (again? )

How long have you been playing guitar?

What are your favourite bands?

What are your favourite songs?

What do you usually do at home?

Are you alive or are you a ghost, roaming this universe while desperately trying to move on? ()

Or are you a Zeta?

Lots of questions, eh? I was bored...

Yeah

You know, you're not the first one to ask that question...but no, nothing has happened. Sometimes depression can come without any reason.

Okay, done Tomorrow I'll put a .52 string on the low E too

That sounds good, at least you have something in common And generally musers are good and nice people I'm sure it'll go great, have fun!

Yeah, I will. I'll probably spent the whole weekend with my guitar, feels like I haven't played it in ages

Oh, we mostly visited some museums, a castle, a crisp factory and some other places too, and then we also went wall climbing and did some other random stuff

Yep, although this wasn't an ordinary thing that happened. I had some kind of panic attack, hyperventilation and stuff, and later on they also diagnosed that I have serious depression

Yeah, guess I really should...

Love is in the air, eh? Have fun

Nah, I think I'll just take it easy for a while now. Don't want to risk anything.

Hello again! Sorry I haven't replied in ages, I was at Åland Islands with my school class

It was a great trip all the way, I even got to visit the hospital during the last night there

I want to play the guitar now, but my A string is still snapped and I'm too lazy to restring it

Wait, I got it! Maybe if I just remove the "96" and be just Mkekko?

So...how're you doing?

Haha, and I still couldn't sell it (I wish I could, though...I'd like to have 650 euros )

Yeah

Ah, shucks, my A string snapped... Oh, sorry It's a video game, one of my long-time favourites (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncharted_2:_Among_Thieves) And sorry, I meant to say Uncharted 2, not 3

Okay, maybe I'll just keep this old username...

That's awesome! I have to watch it sometime.

Oh, wait, it's actually only worth 650 euros...

I'm 95% okay now :yay:

I've been playing guitar a lot (as always) And I've been playing Uncharted 3 on for the first time in 2 months It's much better than I remembered

Isurvivedthebarrier Or maybe...READINGMUSE

Damn, I'm really bad at this...

There is a fan DVD for Wembley too?

It's easily worth 800 euros...

I've been mostly playing guitar I know I shouldn't because I'm sick, but I just can't help myself I'm actually feeling a bit better now

What've you been doing?

I really need to change my username sometime...I just never come up with any good usernames. Got any ideas?

Wow, I went there and I gotta say, that Darkshines video looked amazing! Can't wait for the whole DVD

Oh, I'm just waiting for them to forget about it, and then I can sell it for lots of money

I WANT TO RULE THE WORLD!! And no, it doesn't count, because I have a keyboard too and it isn't anywhere near a real piano

And who would've known, it actually worked!

I never go there...

I hope so too

Because it isn't really mine... It actually belongs to the family of my brother's girlfriend. They just gave it to me because they never play it themselves. I actually found out that it's a fairly expensive bass, but I can't just sell it. Who knows if they want it back someday?

I want a new guitar, a new amp, and lots of new effects and oh, I want a piano too

It's a weird street Each one of the shops sells it's own things. Like the one I bought the pedal from sold ONLY effect pedals. And then there was a shop that sold ONLY second-hand guitars, and so on...

What? I didn't know that!

Damn damn damn damn, still sick and were supposed to leave on monday

I can't sell it

I don't really know... But I gotta say, my amp sounds awesome I'm officially a fan of Blackstar amps now. Might get the Blackstar Series 1 S1-200 some day

Denmark Street. It was somewhere fairly close to the Buckingham Palace.

Yeah, BBC really angered all Muse fans now... But it's really a shame, I was hoping that when I'd return home, I'd see all these amazing proshots of Darkshines, Space Dementia, Hyper Music (<- especially this, since I couldn't focus on the song because of all the moshing and shouting and stuff ), Megalomania and Micro Cuts (<- especially this, too, because I never heard Matt's singing properly )

I'm still sick This is really frustrating now, our school class is going to Åland Islands for a week next monday, and I really hope I don't have to spend the whole week there in bed...

I have a bass guitar too But it's rusty, plays awfully, and it's way too big for me So I kinda gave up on it

I actually got so frustrated with my awful fuzz tones that I removed the FF from my signal chain I don't really know what to do with it, imo even PiB sounds better using just my amp distortion (and an EQ pedal for the main riff)

Perhaps I should try using the FF with a little crunch. if I remember correctly, Matt uses the FF with a bit of crunch too.

And oh, I finally got the EQ pedal I was looking for! It's the MXR 6 Band EQ, the same one that Matt has Bought it from a music store in London. There actually was an entire street filled with only music stores there

Great At least one of us is Feeling Good ()

My mind is still unable to accept the fact that I've actually been in Reading and seen the entire OoS live... Damn...I really was there (yeah, I know, I'm acting quite childlishly...)

Bad news:

I've been sick for 3 days now. I got massive headache and my throat tries to kill me every now and then. This isn't fun

Good news:

I finally got the sound in my head from my guitar amp Now I'm 95% happy with my guitar tone. The only downside is that I've still been unable to find the perfect fuzz tone from my Fuzz Factory. And all my effects suck, I really need to buy a better multi-effect...

Random news: (huh? )

So anyway...how are you doing?

kappas, miten en ookaan huomannut aikaisemmin että oot suomalainen?

Anyway...Heei (ei, en matki Aduuu-:ta )

Well, it was kind of hard to enjoy some songs because the crowd was so rough, but I managed I almost fainted twice because of dehydration

It's a shame BBC didn't broadcast all songs...

(You didn't listen to my clips, did you? Please say you didn't...)

Reading was awesome!!! :awesome::dance:

Although I was almost at the barrier the whole time, so I had a pretty rough time But whatever, it was still awesome

The quality sucks, all the low end got lost during the recording, and my playing sucks, but anyway...

http://soundcloud.com/paavokekkonen/sets/playing-guitar-with-bad-audio

HOLY FUCKING GLITTERATI I'M GOING TO LONDON TOMORROW!! :eek::awesome:

Isn't that the same with every band? The ones you hear on the radio are always the worst

I would settle for any Bellamy Signature Guitar

I made some quick guitar playing recordings today for my friends who can't hear me playing live

I can imagine Just three more days, and I'm going to London

Well, Muse has quite a lot of pop/rock-songs, so that's half pop And then of course there is GL, SMBH, NSC, IBTY and UD

007 would be cool or Keytar

I suppose Casinocaster would be quite awesome to have, but in the end, the other neck would just get in the way 90% of the time

Yeah, I think I'll just order one from Thomann. I'd really like to avoid that though, because I have bad experiences about their customer service.

Oh, cool. You've seen the world quite a bit too, then.

Hello there! Sorry for the late reply You must be in Ireland now?

So what's stopping you from making that Blackout cover? Is she not responding or what?

Well, some Muse songs could be considered pop But rap is terrible, indeed

I've never had any problem with chords Although I have to admit that my barre chords don't always sound that good...

I always tend to learn the bass notes too for every song I learn, not really sure why

I hope they make a third replica, but I believe Bomber and Casinocaster are out of the question Bomber is impossible because of the finish, and Casinocaster would be superduper expensive

Damn, I went to all nearby music shops to see if any one of them had this,

http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/m109-6-band-graphic-eq

but I couldn't find one anywhere I guess I'll have to order one from Thomann or something

Let's see, I've been to...Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, France, Spain, England, Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Austria and the US (California and Florida). I think that's all

That would be cool I've actually been looking for some people to play Muse with, but no one in my area really likes them They all just listen to Pop or Metal

I think I'm gonna die inside if I actually hear Dead Star live...

A strat, eh? Not really ideal for playing Muse Yep, Mansons are great, and it shows in their prices too

Oh, right. How long have you been playing guitar? I got my first guitar (The Music Man one) about year and a half ago, and the other guitar (The Fender one, with COIL TAP ) about a month ago.

Yeah. But I heard they don't want to make any more MB-1s.

Custom shops are hard to find, I know...Ruokangas is basically the only one in Finland

Do both versions?

I used to want a Kaoss Pad, but after some thinking I decided that I don't really need it that much. I don't know that much about single effect pedals. I love multi-effects, because I can store effect presets in them and then I can change multiple effects with just one switch Quite similar to the way Matt can change all his effects at once with a single press from his MIDI controller.

I've been to lots of countries, but never Ireland. I'll have to go there some day

England is the best

These are long messages, indeed

I noticed that you asked Farelial about that have we four ever met each other, and I just wanted to say that no, as a group we haven't met, but I've met both Farelial and -Aduuu once.

Yeah, I get to miss school But keep in mind that we had to pay a lot to get the tickets. they were already sold out and we had to buy them through viagogo, and the tickets are ridiculously expensive there. But what wouldn't I do to see OoS in full?

Yeah, they're both okay-ish guitars...or at least the Fender one is. I'm not too keen on the other one. But I really love the Fender one. It basically has the shape of a Fender and the sound of a Gibson. And it also has a coil tap, so I have both humbucker tones and single coil tones in one guitar. Perfect.

What's wrong with Fender? They make great guitars. It's just a shame most of them have only single coils. What Fender guitar do you have?

Mansons make great guitars, but I find most of them ridiculously overpriced. I might end up getting a custom guitar from Ruokangas, which is a custom guitar shop here in Finland.

Yeah, I'd love to hear it! I've been wanting to post covers too, but I don't have any audio recording gear. Well, except my phone, but it's not exactly a high quality recorder

Silk Road...? Nope, doesn't ring any bells, sorry

I used to have a Digitech Hot Head, but I sold it after I realized that my amp distortion sounds 10000000x better Now I only have a fuzz factory and a VOX Tonelab ST, which I mostly use for delays and stuff. I'm planning to switch my Tonelab to a Digitech RP-1000 soon. How about you?

Wow, that place looks amazing!

Okay, thanks for the links. I'll listen to them later, when I have more time. They do sound promising, I love Indie Rock. And heh, thanks

Well, kinda...I don't really like Finland that much. I'd prefer living in England.

Wow, what a long message...
