EBMM Forumites Recording Project

[Boy Oldigs]

Not sure what the bass player was using, but I will find out!

C'mon and join the jam....

-JB

I played my Sterling bass thru Line 6 Pod xtl with the bass expansion direct into recording system. I hope I find some time today and recording the next solo

shredder-

it sounds to me like 3 riffs: the first 8 measures (first 20 seconds) is mainly the notes e, d and g, with ascending half step phrases (a,b-flat,b and g,a-flat,a alternately), the second riff has a measure of G chord followed by a measure of A chord, and then later the third riff is A-C-D-G/A, then up a 4th to D-F-G-C/D

correct me if I'm wrong, my ears aren't all that~

tempo count...I don't know, quarter note maybe about 90-100 bpm; the high hat is playing 8th notes. 4/4 time.

try playing E pentatonic over the first two progressions, and maybe A and D pentatonics over the third riff for starters.

Your ears are very good!!! You got it all right...
The tempo is 100 bpm.
I used my JP through POD xt Live straight into my soundcard to record both lead and rhythm guitars.

Hey...I'll start working on an AC/DC straight ahead rock thing...try to have it up here soon.

In the meantime, go ahead and upload your solo for this one...you'll be the 4th solo.

Cool one! It's interesting to hear how every guitarist adds a different vibe to the song and has a different interpretation of the backing track.

Yep Jeff -
I used my L6 Pod XTL again ! The guitar was my new AL with the MM 90 in bridge position.

Thanks,
Boy

Ivan, thanks for your kindest words. Do you still need my solo track again as .wav-file ?
You wrote that you used also the pod xtl again. What amp model did you using?
May you can send me the patch ?

 

[peedo_deedo]

you guys are doing a great job on this project. i wish i have a recording software to join in. i've been jamming with this track since it came up but i dont have a way of recording.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Send me a wav if you can, your take is a little bit too low in the mix for my taste, so I'll bring it up a notch.
Concerning the amp models - For the distorted rhythm guitar I used Cali Diamond Plate (Mesa Triple Rectifier) with the middle pickup position on my JP. For that funky clean rhythm guitar I think I used Brit J-900 Clean (Marshall JCM 900) with the middle pickup position again, but I'm not 100% sure on the amp model. For the lead sound I used L6 Modern Hi Gain (Soldano X88R). I don't have the exact patches because I didn't save them. I dialed in these sounds to record the tracks and didn't save the patches afterwards.

 

[Boy Oldigs]

I'll send you the wav file tomorrow.
For my taste is your solo a notch too loud, but I would like to ask Jeff before.

How is your opinion, Jeff ?

@peedo deedo: Thanks much for your kindest words !

I'll bring it down a notch

This would be cool if it had its own forum section, with threads for every genre, that way everybody has a place to jam.


Skwisgaar Skwigelf would say, "Nots sayings its nots cools already, buts thats woulds be awesomes. Ands, whens thes metal jams comes arounds, I'ms so downs." and I agree.

 

[JeffreyB]

Honestly, I like the solos for this purpose a little loud so that each person's different styles can be heard. If we were mixing for a CD, I might bring them down a little....but so far, I think it sounds pretty good.
The worst thing in the world is having a bunch of guitar players in the room when mixing a song (ha ha)
I'm just glad that it's turned out good so far for being our first effort. Boy, I did want to hear your solo a little better...i saw your video on your website and you're an awesome player! Also, I was thinking of doing some other songs that were a little more structured....maybe have some more dynamic parts that break down and let the guitar breathe....but like I said, so far, it's GREAT!!!!
thanks for participating...I wonder if BP has been here yet?

 

[JeffreyB]

Also, I'm challenging Blues Saraceno and Luke (my 2 favorite guitarists) to put a few riffs down. (YEAH, RIGHT!)

[savannah_sean]

I've been playing along with the track, and I can make a .wav of my solo, but I can't put it on top of the existing track. Is this what ivan has been doing with some other people? If so, I could email the .wav file, but it would be just of my guitar.

 

[JeffreyB]

Yep...that's all you need to do....email the .wav file to ivan or me.
I'm at [email protected]

 

[ivanmihaljevic]

E-mail it to me, I have all the separate tracks, so it's easy for me to balance it with the rest of the mix. PM me and I'll give you my address.
