Tracking a solo

[Metaltastic]

fair play... but i hope you are talking about the way it sounds, and not the visual.

Oh of course, the visual just looked like you laying down a solid take, so it's not like there's much I can really say about that I just generally prefer the sound of left-hand vibrato

James your solos always make me want to pull the tremol-nos out of my guitars.


The thought of setting them up every time I change strings stops me however.


Can't wait to hear it with harmonies.

Nice solo James!

it's me tracking a solo i did earlier tonight on an album i'm producing and mixing for a band called Structure Of Inhumanity... the vid was shot by the keyboardist/head-honcho of the band, Jonah Weingarten (who also mans the 'boards' for Pyramaze and Written In Blood)

This intrigues me! I fucking love Pyramaze.

Did you cut your hair?

 

[Brandon E.]

One of the solos by the bands guitarist

 

[James Murphy]

Did you cut your hair?

quite some time ago, yes... even posted a thread with before and after pics,

i use both types liberally... just i was feeling the bar vibrato on this project more... i did however use normal left hand vibrato on the first note, the key-solo matching bend, of the second vid we did, for the third and final guest solo i did on the CD... and here it is:

 

[Brandon E.]

What gauge strings in what tuning are on that horus? those bends are epic

 

[James Murphy]

it's a Horus HGS, so it's tuned to B... strings are .12 or .13 to whatever came in the standard pack... can't recall. glad you like, thx.

 

[Brandon E.]

Awesome...thats what I use, daddario 12-54 because they dont have the annoying wound G string that I hate so much. These videos are really making me want an ebony horus hgs to match my maple one

 

[JoshSylosis]

Cheers James. Can't get enough of your shred. Keep em coming.

Have Nuclear Blast still not sent you a copy of our album? I've just got another proper copy I found at home I can send if not

 

[Brandon E.]

Oh and what amp were you using in these vids?

 

[James Murphy]

Peavey JSX and Mesa w/ V30... TS808 pedal as well.

 

[JMarz]

This is FUCKING SICK man, tasteful as HELL!

You and I have very, very similar styles, I just got self-respect +1

 

[Jind]

Great work as always James - looking forward to more videos from the iPhone.

Badass!

 

[Bekanor]

That Horus is spank worthy.


Matter of fact...

Nice! How do you find the JSX for rhythms with the Mesa cab, James? Have you used it for rhythms on any projects?

i did a mix for the band Dope and i used it as one of two amps on rhythms, via reamping..., but other than that, only on solos so far.

 

[Nebulous]

Yeah, the bitch is so hot for leads!

Definately let us know when this album is released!
