Improvised it.

I used (SHOCK HORROR!!!) my Ibanez RG 570, with stock pickups and a FLOATING TREM!!.

It's been disassembled for about two years, in need of some serious guitar tech love. Last week I decided to put some spare cash to good use and have it put back together and get the frets levelled, as there was visible fret wear and buzzing all over the neck.

The reason it was pulled apart is because two years ago, I had a stroke of retard. I have two Ibanez guitars; an RS 530 and an RG570. I liked the neck of the RS more (and it doesn't have fretbuzz), so I decided to swap them over so I could have the nicer neck on the RG body with the floating floyd.

Well, I soon realised that the neck joints weren't even vaugely the same :smack:

Putting the RS together again wasn't all that hard, as the trem is non floating. The RG however, I wasn't going to tackle myself... Due to money, poor self diagnosis (I thought it'd need a full refret, turns out it didn't) and prioritising (I've been kinda anti trem for the past two years :laugh2: ) the guitar has just sat unused and not even assembled..

Until today, when I picked it up from Matt Ryan. The guitar plays very nicely indeed, and Matt is great to deal with. He gets stuff sent to him from all around the UK, but luckily he lives just down the road from me. The set up on the RG is ace, it's really easy to play. It's set up for 10s with four springs on the back.


Hope you enjoy the track

Great playing man. What key is the song in? For some reason I can't feel it out on this one, then again I haven't really tried, haha.

Did you use a POD or something similar? Good Satch like tone.

Cheers for checking it out :)

I used a guitar port on the soldano model, and added some delay later on in cubase.

It's in modes of E major. A lydian (someone correct me if I got the wrong name), then whatever the mode is called starting on B etc... I know which notes I can use on the neck just not what the modes are called :smack:

Hey nuntius, some nice "satchy" stuff you have there. Your chops are just getting better and better. Good stuff.
 
Re: My take on the satch-like track Rid posted

Nuntius, why are you so damn CRAZY?! You got that signature Satch legato thing DOWN, PAT~! I loved it, and it was awesome as usual. Don't forget about Biu when you are rich, famous, and living in a mansion with 5 million wives from your guitar virtuosity!

havent listened to you in a while

crap, i remember when you were doing sweep arps relatively sloppy....

Re: My take on the satch-like track Rid posted

killer playing man. i LOVE the part after the trem picking at around 2:05ish to 2:08. that little run there was PERFECT with a great vibe to it! overall great playing a-z but that just JUMPED out at me!

Haha, I still have a lot of trouble trying to do 5 and 6 string sweeeps cleanly at the speed I want to be able to :laugh2: I'll get there eventually.

Cheers for checking this out guys. I knew you'd like the trem work Rid :D
 
Re: My take on the satch-like track Rid posted

That was cool.... I like that style of playing. it is a lot of fun!
 
Re: My take on the satch-like track Rid posted

wow - that is sick, young gun ... nice tone and vibe ... you had the finger vibrato just right

i especially liked the little melodic bit around 1:28 .. nice note choice and phrasing

cheers
