"Guess the Riff" Game

[Anonymous]

Agreed, I just should've done a better job on the mixing.

In my vocabulary, you mean the sound, not the tone

Tone is something you can't really achieve with effects imo.

Oh, but Gilmour's tone is unachievable anyway!

I like to think of the tone as two different parts, one being the amp/pedals/guitar, the other being the pick you use, your picking attack and muting. Alot of people only rely on the first one, which makes it suck no matter how awesome gear they have.

Bump.

Nobody postes anything, so I'm doin' it. That's not properly a riff, but whatever.
Sorry for the disgusting quality, but you have no idea about the conditions of this recording.

[<-Warheart->]

Edit, new post below (bumped with another riff)

 

[Swabs]

Right I'm gonna try get this fucker started again

I played it sloppily, it's recorded on a mobile phone and my guitar is almost definately out of tune (can't find my alen key ) but whatever, it's an easy riff that I'm 100% sure people will know.

That wasn't Lead Us To War by Sinergy was it? :zombie:

 

[Altitudes]

I think so!

 

[OvSeth]

Yeah it is.

 

[<-Warheart->]

Well I'll record something later. My RR isn't playable atm.

Today, I removed the strings, bridge, pickup and then replaced the pickup with a Jackson J-50 BC and restrung with 10's instead 9's. It took a while because I had to file away the pickup cavity for the J50BC to actually fit into it. Then, I had to file away the pickup ring to fit over the pickup because the one I have on my BCRich is longer than the Jackson one so the screw holes were in the wrong place so I couldn't use it. When I took the bridge off, I also turned the posts so I don't know how high the bridge was so I'm basically having to set it up from scratch. Nearly done.

 

[OvSeth]

Awesome, I guess you can't wait to play it with the J-50 BC .

 

[Altitudes]

I would be afraid to fuck up the guitar! How does the J-50BC sound? Its the one Alexi used back in the day, correct?

 

[<-Warheart->]

Well I'm playing it now but it's just out of tune. It doesn't sound like Alexi because I have the gain boost off otherwise it gives me this horrible hum if I have it on, I'm not sure why.

 

[<-Warheart->]

Ok here it is:

I can ACTUALLY notice a tonal difference since the pickup swap too, yay!!

(btw, I left out that diminished harmony part on purpose because I couldn't be bothered to learn and practise it just for the sake of this thread)

 

[OvSeth]

WOW. I'm soooooo freaking jealous.

( I know what it is, but I don't want to record)
