Awesome stuff!

Great tone, what guitar and amp did you use?
 
Re: Heres something a little "Juicey" :)

Its only my 2nd ever proper attempt at a mix really dude! Im a little disapointed still, as its a bit out of time in the breakdown and at the end.

Heres what i used:

Ibanez RG2570EX using the bridge bucker (Seymour Duncan JB) into a Boss GT 6 with a Vai patch ive been working on for ages but can never get there all the way lol. Boss GT6 normally goes into a Marshall MG50dfx, but today it went into my 100W Marshall VS100, which i handily mangaed to pickup for £50

The VS100 was mic'd centre on the cone with a Shure SM57, but a few cm back in order to avoid a harsher /clipped sound.
Recorded straight into my little Zoom MRS4 4-track onto smart media and whipped onto the PC.

Cool edit pro was used to mix it, and i did a little messing with the EQ, sterteo tracked the guitar and added a little reverb. Played a round a little with the panning too, as ive never really done much with it, because i noticed that on the breakdown in Juice the guitar seems to pan left about 75% i think.

Cheers

Re: Heres something a little "Juicey" :)

realy nice, u got the pinch harmonics that i cant!!!!
sounds a bit unforgiving in places, as in the notes stick to the beat a bit, but that i gues is because when vai plays it just drips off his fingers.

still, great tone and a brilliant atempt!
kudos!

ps i like the fact you still have the vocal at the end!!!!
 
Re: Heres something a little "Juicey" :)

just listend to your "always with me......."
damn fine!

i love that tone!

how long have you been playing? and how often a day?
 
Re: Heres something a little "Juicey" :)

well, normally try to get in an hour a day. But know its summer its more like 3 hours a day lol. I've been playing 5 years so far tho, so hope to get better and solve a few problems with me playin'.

Cheers, and thanks for listening everyone :)

Was the "Always with me..." clip also recorded with the JB?
 
Re: Heres something a little "Juicey" :)

:eek5: wow man that was awsome! sounded exactly like it. my favorite vai tune also. keep up the good work.
 
Re: Heres something a little "Juicey" :)

Listened again, and the only problem I could spot was the timing was out on quite a lot of it - some of the licks seemed "pushed or pulled"
 
Re: Heres something a little "Juicey" :)

I enjoy the clip pretty ****ing much together with the Satriani clip.
 
Re: Heres something a little "Juicey" :)

=/ i tried myself on that tune and failed horribly ..


i need to practice more
