Guitar Player's Thread

Hmm, that's weird. It actually sounds nothing like mine. I can't think of why it's doing that.

Here's a short clip of what mine sounds like if I set it to the EXACT settings that I posted.

Your tone sounds "open" and professional, i have no idea why that would be.

Are you going from the "OUTPUT" socket into the "line in" port in your computer?

Yeah. Guitar -> Input -> Output -> Soundcard's line in

Try putting it into the mic one instead, see how that sounds.

I tried that, sounded pretty much the same, but i fiddled around with some different settings and came up with this tone

Do you have Chorus 2 on?

 

[inhe]

No, it's chorus 1 at 0.32. Sounded too "chorusy" with chorus 2.

Tone is in the fingers. That's why you can't sound like him.

orly? I'm perfectly happy with my fingers if you have to know.

If you listen to it with headphones, adding chorus 2 makes it pop right out and surround your ears completely, even if it's at the lowest setting, that's what I usually have it on when I'm doing my leads, like the forum jams etc.

For me, chorus 1 is panned to the right a bit and turning it off is dry.

Here's another clip of what I mean:

Try putting your headphones into the INPUT of the unit and see if it works that way instead. It SHOULD definitely work like that 'cause there's nothing between the output and the headphones.

You've been more than enough help, but i think the best is just to fiddle around with the thing to find a tone that fits me, although the settings you gave me are a really nice start. It's getting better and better, so thanks!

I mic'ed up my 15W amp, tbh, i kinda like that low distortion dry sound, it sounds pretty full, but it sounds sooo out of place when accompanied by other stuff.

The "Crazy Train" solo is easier than I remember it to be . I'll probably post a video, if I actually learn it. (I know I say that every time, but it'll come!)

Imo, its really pointless to make a cover video of something thats been covered a billion times, UNLESS you add something new to it. Like how Ozielzinho did to Mr Crowley.

I have to agree, the only reason i would learn another musician's work is if i could actually use something in my own playing.

 

[<-Warheart->]

I often think that. I honestly can't stand Eruption, Master Of Puppets, Crazy Train, Stairway To Heaven etc JUST because everyone whores the fuck outta' them when they first start playing.

I like to learn the stuff that noone else does.

 

[Earth Breather]

you forgot canon rock hehe

 

[OvSeth]

I just feel like learning it, because it's one of the things that made me start playing guitar (Randy in general, but it seems to be one of his easier solos, so I can see why they start with it).

Most of the things I want to learn are "too hard" for me right now :/.

That happened to me aswell, and still happens (that's why i never try to learn any song ), but there's nothing wrong with playing a cool lick/phrase at half speed, even if you might never get it up to full speed, atleast you got a cool lick.

oh god uke:


Since I thought that improvised riff that I played in that 2nd tone test sounded pretty cool, I thought I'd record it and see what it sounds like, so I did.

I also recorded it with my RR in D and my Warlock in C#.

 

[inhe]

It does sound pretty cool, although i'd prefer "double tempo" on the drums (i don't know the actual term for it)
