Do you have the tab? Had it in a mag back in the day. Was thinking about re learning (actually doing it) a lil while back.

EDIT: lol, nice work too! haa

[Basket Case]

Nah, I had the tab once upon a time but God knows where it ended up. It would be pretty easy to find on te interwebz I would think.

I really only want the the build up that sets it all off after the intro. I'll search it out. Cheers

Great start BC

If no one else wants the second slot I'll take a shred-dump on it now. Be back in a couple of minutes, quality not guaranteed

[Bg]

Its yours

[Vorbis]

My shredding is on hold for a day or 2, because my fingers have blistered like a little girl from overplaying my new gat too much.

[Gelato]

Well, here you go then One quick, no brain, shred coming up!

Nice work there mate....the first 2 slots have some killer shred goodness. Gelato at 1.10 sounding very Yngwie.

Anyone else dare to have a go?

[slash-ed]

Oh god, what have I "past participle of get" myself into? I haven't even listened to the tracks but Basket Case AND Gelato before me??

I'm fucked...

I might have to go Kirk Hamster on yo ass...

[Basket Case]

Well I've already put a Megadeth solo over the top, it would be funny to hear a Metallica one on there too You should be able to find something that works, pretty much everything from the first 4 albums was in E wasn't it?

I have the updated track in sitting Sonar and have armed 2 separate tracks to record in left and right channel from the POD, but the guitar tone is recording way too gainy for some reason, much gainier than it sounds monitored. I dunno. I have invented some semi-original sounding guitar parts and it gets all melodic during the slow bit, so hopefully I get this DAW and POD thing sussed. I'd prefer to wait until I get my amp back and the pinnacle pedal, but whatever....
I'm still hungover from going to Converge, so progress is slow.
That band was awesome btw, heaps of energy and the guitarist was excellent. I think they are doing an unplanned/bonus all ages gig in AK tommorow.

On the first lead, what interface did you use to record on the computer, Whats the best thing to use if you have a pc? How do you insert your lead into the song or track or whatever? It sounds far better that I would expect from just playing the song out on speakers and recording guitar through a amp. I have never seen how its done.

[Aquila Rossa]

That BC's solo, he has all the flash gears. He has a G-System I think, but I suspect he miked up his new Mesa for this? What say you BC?

[Basket Case]

Yeah, that's my Electra Dyne with an SM57 in front of it. I had a killer sound with two mics on it, but it caused problems when I wanted to do multiple takes, so I took one away.

The signal was going through the G-System but I didn't have any effects engaged. The only effect was a Maxon OD. The delay was added in Logic.

[Basket Case]

Just re-read Tonemaker's post and realised that I didn't really answer the question

I'm using a Line 6 UX-2 for an interface, but there are myriads of audio interfaces that will work just as well.

The recording software I use is Logic,which is a Mac program, but again there are lots of different programs you could use to do this type of thing,

All you do is import the backing track into whatever multitrack software you're using and record yourself on another track. When you're done you mix (or "bounce") the two tracks down to a new Mp3 file and then upload it back up onto the thread for the next person.
