Since the last video spawned a lot of requests for more videos, i decided to follow it up with this video of my song "Zyglrox":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGmzlhfIU8g

In the video i am once again using my stock Ibanez RGA 121 (tuned to AGCFAD) into my Engl Invader 100 and Vader 4x12 in this clip. I was too lazy to set up the rack and pedalboard this time as well, so this is just the raw amp sound on Channel 3 (hi-gain on/bright on this time/noise gate on) with no pedals or effects.

its a little sloppy at parts, but i didnt feel like doing a million takes and the overall take was solid and i felt it got the idea across, worry not i will have lots of practicing to do as this and "Totla mad" will both be on the Periphery album and performed live as well!

and you can go here to hear the original song: http://www.myspace.com/iambulb

Enjoy

i dont know when the next show will be as we are focusing on recording the album right now, but probably in a months time or so, we are using this time to learn a bunch of newer songs too!

Unfortunately cant listen to it now - at work, but tell me about this tuning - AGCFAD, more please. I emberassed to admit I dont think I've heard of it before.

you'll hear it a lot in mordern down-tuned metal. I know Mastodon uses it often (not so much on the more recent stuff)

Wow dude, you are an excellent musician. Not entirely my cup of coffy, but I really liked some parts. I gotta mess with that tuning a bit ....

Aaaah .... now I know how they get that ... "tribal/chromatic" tone ... funny the only time when I was able to get close to that sound was when I was fretting A an B on the low E string as my palm muted pedal notes. Modern Metal to me is Nightwish, EdGuy, Epica, Stratovarious, Angra which I guess is not so modern, that's why I am not familiar with that tuning, but sounds cool. Engle sounds amazing, I was considering one for a while .... but then some people scared with the whole "not the best build quality and no tech in U.S. who know them" thing.

i ended up with that tuning because i was on vacation, and only had my 6 string to record with (normally i play a 7 tuned to drop Ab) so i had to find a way to get the range i normally got without compromising the playability too much haha

Misha... I'm really sorry to hear about losing Casey! I can totally understand his decision, as he does have a very 'pop' voice and writing style, he just injected something into a genre that's in dire need of innovation that'll be sorely missed! You guys combined was an absolute supergroup, and I can only hope the guys auditioning can fill his shoes adequately!

I've been wanting to see how the hell you play that since I first downloaded it. That's sweet beyond comprehension, my head just exploded.
