afterwork boredom

[Ironbird13]

Got home after work and decided to plug the pedalboard into the computer and do some recording, this is the first solo (i use that phrase loosely )type thing i have come up with that i can repeat and just managed tonight to get it to flow(another loose phrase ) into a couple of riffs i've been working on lately.its just one track, one take. theres a couple of mistakes and timing might not be perfect(cant get the click track at a decent volume) but anyways, tell me what you think

btw its only at 128kbs due to upload limit

Since Ironbird shared, thought I might too.

The band is a german band that broke up a couple of years back beacuse they couldn't get signed. I liked one of the songs and suggested that it needed a hotter guitar line and a solo that smoked, so I added one and sent it back to them. Everyone in the band loved it and asked me to finish the rest of the song (this is only 1min 50sec of it). The only person in the band that thought it was worse ... was the guitarist.

If you want to know what it sounded like, wait til the guitar riff stops and listen to the verse. I come back in before the chorus and then all hell breaks loose for the solo



The solo is about 1min 30sec ... and it's a bit hairy, I can nail it a lot better now.

Recorded on a 1990s Jackson Performer with Line6 Toneport UX1 as interface.

nice... how would you describe the genre? techno-metal-pop? cool solo btw

[NZRS-Dave]

hey there, thanks for that.

i don't really know that they'd call themselves. i referred to it as industrialist german electronica ... i think they were aiming for a nightwish, lacuna coil, within temptation sort of thing.

Nice solo! One day I will be able to play like that......

That is if I can put my new acoustic down and face an Ashton starter electric guitar (YIKES) I feel another trip to the RockShop coming on.....

[NZRS-Dave]

lol ... thanks.

if you can bend and fingertap, you can play that solo. it's actually remarkably easy. I taught it to a 12 yr old yesterday. the lil snot had it cleaner than me in about 10mins.

last time i teach him anything

*chortle*

Nice... do you think you could tab the tapping bit? I'm still very new to tapping and need to get a hang of how to string together tapping ideas...

[NZRS-Dave]

I be quite bad at tab, but I will have a go.

Essentially,

-chuck your index finger on 15th fret high e string (G) BUT barre across to the B string as well.
-chuck your ring finger on the 18th fret (this goes over to the B string as well)
-chuck your pinky on the 20th fret

then all you do is tap the E string set and move to the B string as it takes your fancy ... vary the time on each string to get the difference in sound.

once you have the speed down on one string, it's not too hard to adjust your fingers to barre the strings and move down.
