Graveyard- Hisingen Blues

I even did a video this week. I probably wasn't going to until I realized I was wearing my Graveyard shirt today. Then I knew it was meant to be.


That is so damn RAWK, it is almost a little overwhelming... I LOVE this!!!!!!!!! You did a KILLER job man, I am really impressed.

Why thank you. It kinda makes me wish I did the whole song, but alas- lazy. I basically just recorded around the solos so I didn't have to learn them. haha

I got something this week! I was messing with the attenuator again and I think I found myself a fairly decent tone. 498T/490R, A2 in both.

George Thorogood: Treat Her Right.



(level's kinda high)

Was gonna redo the Sweet Child O' Mine main solo, but ahhhh, taboo...:D Decided to learn Great White's, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". Short, sweet and I think there's a lick or two I can steal in there...



Used my "new" craigslist Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster. Never even tried a tele before but I heard such good things about the classic vibe line that when I saw one for so cheap, I had to jump on it....Even though this isn't a "real" tele, it sounds pretty dang good! It just has a certain biting, crisp but sweet tone...now if they only made it look more metal...:crazy:

EDIT: Redid it, had a part that was bugging me.

I am sooooo far behind, it ain't even funny. I got jumbled up on "J" and never recovered. I was torn between Jimi Hendrix and Jaio Gilberto... I needed new strings for my classical and so just went with Jimi. I started to make a Jimi patch and realized that it just was not gonna happen with the Line 6 even though I was trying over and over. I finally broke a string (Dean Markley Jimi Hendrix strings - I donlikem) doing a high bend and thought that was a sign to stop. So, no Jimi and I was running out of time that week. I set out to do a Journey song and just never followed through with it. I'm in the wedding business and the season started already so I've been sidetracked a bit. Plus, I have another SD CS review to do and I've been practicing other stuff.

So, in short, here's my f**king "J" entry. Don't Stop Believing... I worked super hard on this and tried to really capture Schon's feel and emotion on this one. There are a couple of sonic treats of walls of harmony guitar (I don't normally do that stuf... in fact I don't think I ever have) in there. I used a backing track that doesn't sound that great, but it's at the very least acceptable for a cover.

Don't Stop Believing



Sorry to be so late guys.

Well, that was certainly worth waiting for!

I was waiting for "Q" to come around...:D

Queensryche's, "Jet City Woman"



According to my math, we're almost done? I think 3 more letters to go?
 
Re: Game: Riffmaster 2012, volunteers who can record audio/video requested

Yep- L, Z, A.
 
Re: Game: Riffmaster 2012, volunteers who can record audio/video requested

My viking pumpkin may be the best thing involved in this entire game.
 
Re: Game: Riffmaster 2012, volunteers who can record audio/video requested

Well, here is my "G"... Guns 'n' Roses - Rocket Queen! I'm only doing the main riff for the 2nd part.
SD CS '78 Model + Line 6 POD X3 Live + Badgerplex AC + ISP Decimator


This one's short and sweet and was designed so I can get caught up. I think I'm gonna sit out "Q" and "U"... I should have my "E" some time next week and should be caught up by then. : )
 
Re: Game: Riffmaster 2012, volunteers who can record audio/video requested

Oh and since theres no guesswork involved with the last 2 letters (A and Z, though we'll do them in the reverse order...I want to end on A for the hell of it) its not against the rules or anything to start planning or even recording them. I say this because I just started my entry for A. Its 10 minutes of epic doom, so I don't want to rush it like I do most things.
