Changed my musical direction after 10+ years, here is my first video clip

[IcedEarth112]

I have been a musician for almost 12 years now and 10 of those years were spent as a complete metalhead. I recently decided it was time for change as so many other things in my life were also changing. Nylon guitar so far has been extremely rewarding to play and compose for, a complete breath of fresh air.. but don't get me wrong, I still love metal!



Guitar used was a Cordoba GK Pro Negra mic'd with an Electro Voice RE-20 mic running into an SPL Crimson Audio Interface.

I haven't seen any clips of RE-20 users micing up their acoustic guitars with one, as its mainly a vocal mic. I, however, was pleased with the result.. it seems to work well with the sound I'm going for.

Haha thanks! And that is kinda what pushed me in this direction. Rhapsody, Angra, so many classical influenced metal bands!

I Agree. After writing songs where you could copy and paste a chorus here and a verse there, I find writing a longer song with no structure rather difficult. Something I have to work on.

That was really beautiful!

Thank you!

Those would be sounds from Spitfire Audio's Solo Strings and Percussion Libraries. Cello and Glockenspiel respectively.

Nice looking studio btw...

Thanks. It's not much really.. but it's where the magic happens!

He is a really great teacher! I only did my first classical guitar lesson with him but a good amount of electric guitar lessons with him. He has teaching down pat pretty damn good!
