My tapping Solo!!!

[Felix Neumann]

Hey bros


I want to show you my lead solo. I would like to know, if you dig this stuff. I worked with the east west silver edition for the orchestral elements and I used the Ibanez s-series 6 string for the leads through a v-amp pro.

Here we go:

Lead solo Felix


I would appreciate it, if you´d find time to listen and comment it. Cheers, dudes

very epic dude!

the intro is a bit too long in my opinion and get's annoying after a while but when the rythmguitars and drums start it's pure epicness! :-D

 

[Keregioz]

Very nice, I liked it.

I think you lost a couple of notes but nothing a little copy/paste can't fix. You're very good at tapping, good job.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Thank you very, very much, bros! I´m really glad you like it. This solo is actually an intro for a song called "the queen in the crystal cloak"...(kind of midtempo steamroller) This version is pretty old..from 2006, I consider to play and record it again. I would do it a lot better nowadays, recording & playing wise. Maybe some of you well experienced producers can help me for this decision by giving me some tipps to record it better.

Felix, I really like it. I personally don't find it too long. I like dramatic things that build up. I haven't heard much tapping like that lately. Good to hear some good playing!

Sounds really good dude!

EPIC.

Fuck yeah man, LOVE the tone, and when the synths come in (choir and grand piano?) it's SOOOOOO freakin' full (and then the guitars HOT DAMMMMMMMMNN). I do agree that it goes on too long though, but otherwise awesome, and holy BALLS is it fucking epic when the harmonies come in! I'm hearing some clipping though, I assume this was just a quick master. Jesus that kicked ass...

 

[Metaltastic]

Actually, listening again, I don't think it needs shortening, fuck it - and when the guitars are doing that super fast pick-tapping after the harmony, it's a little messier than I'd like, though I'm sure it's hard as hell to play clean! Seriously though, badass man

 

[Metaltastic]

Oh yeah, and this is way cooler than anything Slayer could ever do

Hahahah Thanks a lot, Marcus I´m fucking glad you like this, dude!!!! I´m flattered. I recorded this at a time, where I passionately listened to Symphony X..(what a great band) Maybe you can hear this at some moments in the solo.

choir and grand piano?

Absolutely YES

it's a little messier than I'd like

You talk about the final moments? Oh yes, I wanted to bring it to an aggressive, emotional, dirty end (maybe a bit too dirty) I used some kind of tapping with the pick (like Hammet on "ONE", ya know, what I mean) The problem was, for the last tone, I actually did not had a fret. I played with the pick above the neck pick-up It was crazy, man.

Yes, I thought of Michael Romeo too when I listened to your track. His tappings are insane. Great band indeed.

 

[Felix Neumann]

EPIC.

Thanks a lot, dude

Michael Romeo is a god Nothing more to say about him I love his sweeping and tapping style a lot!

Haha, yeah, that might explain it then!

 

[Felix Neumann]

Haha, yeah, that might explain it then!

Yes..and I forgot to mention my broken fingers at the left hand at the time I recorded it. This also could explain the dirty playing style Okay enough with this excuses..I will record it again anyway one time
