@fastonebaz 1pts - excellent development and buildup but that crying bit was deeply unnerving
the production levels of the entries was a not so gentle reminder that I need to work on mine.
FWIW I was honking away on a big fat L5 with a .14 top e - so it did sound a bit odd esp when I tried a bend (which I never do for good reason).
I like to hear entries that are different to the norm...let's face it, most of us are rock-based: my entry this month had comp, two stages of gain, two delays, two reverbs...and there may have been an edit 3/4 of the way through
Keep 'em coming!
3pts - @Bellycaster - lightly overdriven tone...reminiscent of Wishbone Ash
1pt - @stratman3142 - got more and more engaged as the solo progressed...maybe the most 'digging in' I've heard from you
The effect I was going for was, to build to a climax and then lay back and have a cigarette (except I don't actually smoke)
This particular recording was through my 'messing about' pedalboard which features a Simplifier (actually the DLX version which is now in Classifieds). It's a full board of pedals, some upfront, and some running stereo in the Simplifier's effects loop. The output runs through a Boomerang Looper (which I probably should've removed before recording). So that whole setup is
a bit more spontaneous with slightly more noise...and there's some tap tempo available but nothing is perfectly sync'd (which is probably a good thing).
Then there'll always be some mix effects in the DAW.
I never record using a real amp.
I essentially use a real amp but don't mic it up.
My pedalboard is a Boss GT100 in 4 cable method with a Victory Kraken pre-amp and a Mooer Radar IR loader pedal, which is the same as an amp with emulated out. I only use the GT for effects and have the amp sims turned off.
I use the GT100 as an interface via the USB. I have a selection of IRs in the Radar. Although it's easy to record a dry signal and reamp with this setup I prefer to have my intended recorded sound in place first.
There's EQ, light reverb and often delay already in place in the GT but I might add more in REAPER for extra soul and talent. This month there was definitely extra reverb and delay
5 points @digitalkettle - am I right in thinking that the fast section was perhaps inspired by a certain Marty Freedman solo in the same key? Great job all round
3 points @Bellycaster for a great large bird inspired tone and approach
1 point @fastonebaz - lovely melody and approach with the right amount of shed. Didn't need the crying gimmick and could have been higher in the list if that was omitted
Which tune is that? I'll give it a listen.
Tbh, Chris Poland is my favourite Megadeth guy.
And "quotes" are an essential part of any solo. I think it should be a prosecutable offence not to include one in any 'original" solo.
I only knowingly used one that was very subtle, short and from a different Pink Floyd song on the same album as the really famous one that fits this backing track
Definitely one of those ones to put in the "maybe one day but not now as there are other things to do instead" folder
5pts @stratman3142 I found myself getting goosebumps the first listen through. I felt there was a real passionate honesty in every note.
3pts @flying_pie very tasty phrasing and huge juicy wet tonez.
1pt @Bezzer I loved the mahoosive bend at 12s and i could visualise two people having a crazy unpredictable argument.
Great playing by everyone
Drat. I was going for standing atop of an epic, rugged natural rock formation wearing a sarong... Fail...
The less glamorous reality was sat on an IKEA stool in a shed wearing t-shirt and shorts, although the door was open and there probably was a gentle breeze
3 - Mr @flying_pie - that background run at 33s and the second guitar from 47s onwards ... sublime!
1 - Herr @digitalkettle - lovely phrasing, descending licks from 20s-ish *chefs kiss*, liked the energy build up and smooth close out.
5 Points @digitalkettle - Nice Jaggedy Tremolo and a mix of bluesy and ripping licks.
3 Points @flying_pie - Very spacey (Not the Kevin variety) tone, some good layering and bends.
1 Point @fastonebaz - Genuine Lol (in a good way) when the crying started. Nice rocking solo too with some nifty legato and love a good pick scrapes does I.
