I noticed my 'lead' is mostly on the A string and therefore quite low, maybe it gets lost amongst the rhythms, afterall this is a song I wrote years ago and somethings probably don't work in practice. I recorded the lead parts an octave up to test this...

Finally I feel better and i've started recording again. I'd appreiciate tips on ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. But first, is this what was meant by a few people in this thread? The orange tracks are the rhythm guitar. Yellow is the lead guitar, but only the lead parts. Grey underneath that is the...

I'll have to give it a go, like many people say, its about trying it out. Sadly i've had no chance to yet, still got mega man flu! :yuk: I didn't want to create a new thread just asking this but could anyone recommend some good affordable headphones for mixing on? I know monitors are...

Thanks for your kind words! Got a lot of learning to do, i've been going through the pages of this forum and reading anything that might help me out. Seems a great place so far! Maybe i'll make a thread where I can ask ongoing questions as I do this demo.. hmmm good idea?

Cheers for the feedback! I've been ill past few days so haven't had a chance to get back at it but look forward to it:). Yup is a mess. I'm just a guy trying to record his old songs so they are finally put to rest, also using it for a demo production module at uni. I'm not doing a tech course...

Ah, I see! Well, most of the leads in the song are quite low infact, using E minor from 7th fret on A string.. I was thinking of rewriting them all higher. What makes a lead a lead? Maybe its just a riff? Infact I have a rough demo of the song while I was experimenting a few weeks back. Might...

I think I get you. So the 2nd guitar is pretty much now going to go through the whole song. Where it would be playing leads its playing rhythm parts that the other guitar is playing (or maybe new rhythm parts) but then overdub/record the actual lead parts on a separate track. Then in theory...

I considered this, but then wouldn't I have to write extra rhythm for under the lead part that goes with the other guitars rhythm? Even though live you'd not hear that part? Or I just get the guitar that's playing the lead parts to play the rhythms parts as well, under the leads? I understand...

Thanks for the reply. I think I understand what you mean but i'm a bit lost with the filling the gaps? One guitar only plays rhythm, except it gets one line in a break or so just so IRL the guitarists can have some fun ;) and not be too bored! But the other guitar plays lead and some...

I've read places that the lead guitar should be panned Centre. And the rhythm, L+R. However I am confused by this. It makes sense if you have a solo but what if the leads are common? In arrangement, this song has two guitar parts, one plays rhythm throughout with maybe a tiny bit of...

Thanks for rocking the shit out of the Twist guys! It was one of the best gigs i've been to there even though it wasn't packed and thats something! Last time there was such a good reception for a non local band was Diamond Head, but they keep coming back! ;) Thanks guys.. your lineup now...

Hai! I'm gonna be at Colchester, I go to the Twist regulary and its great to see a known band i've been a fan of for a few years playing down the road! I'm gonna try and get it known as possible to support you guys.. the Twist isn't known for its promotion, or people in Colchester are just...

I don't know if it were Opeth or some other band but I remember one saying that they don't like to play lots of new stuff on the tour straight after a new album because not everyone is overly familiar with it yet so they leave it a tour to play lots.. But two songs is good enough jesus, I...

I feel misunderstood.. I regularly enjoy pits, but usually at a gig there isn't such a big force of pushing, it wasn't the pit, it was just being pushed and crushed to the point it was hard to stay standing up at points while I was trying to help my girlfriend from falling under.. there were...

I go to many gigs but the roundhouse was an odd experience. We were near the front, i'm tall and my girlfriend is rather short.. anyway we were excited but as soon as Opeth came on it got too crazy. I'm used to this at gigs but there was a lot of pushing going on, I don't understand why.. I...

My girlfriend has ordered it but Amazon kept pushing it back annoyingly. I can't wait, although the gig itself was my worst gig experience to date and it really put me off which is annoying, but seeing them at Wacken regained my faith and it wasn't Opeth's fault :)

Forum n00b reply... I like Axe and hes an awesome drummer but I do feel he may not be the right one for Opeth.. or at least the previous style.. to me he seems like a more straight tight death metal drummer where as Lopez added a lot of little things in like the Latin and Jazzy stuff.. as...

Err.. I've not posted here before but was browsing the photoshop thread to my amusement and seeing peters face alot, especially without the hair I noticed he looked very much like someone... I don't know if any of you have ever watched the Phantasm series of films but I think Peter looks a...

Howdy. I have been hunting high and low.. and found no Brainstorm guitar tabs.. do they exist? does anyone have any? normal tabs although guitar pro format would be awesome! Just got the new dvd and thats bloody awesome too! Thanks David
