The "Banned from Heaven intro" was very well played dude. Nothing else to add.

Work on the "flap technique" for the first seconds of the TL&S intro. It sounds like harmonics. The riff at 0:35 could also be better but that's pretty good, nice tone and well recorded/mixed with the backing track.

I only mess around with the jcm800 and the rectifier actually. They sound really good imo.

children of COB · August 22nd, 2008, 11:21 AM

@Flappy: Nice ones dude, BFH nothing to add except two notes that aren't exactly the ones but still fit so no complaints, and TLS what GuitariSteve said, the ''flap thechnique'' like Roope said,

Nice overall tone and playing though.

Flappy · August 22nd, 2008, 11:37 AM

Thanks for the advice guys! I'm certainly going to work on the flap technique

I didn't exactly play BFH like the tab, so that's probably why those 2 notes are different (and I didn't use hammer-on/pull-offs in the beginning)

And I've got some problems with the tone, the low e string seems to come out verry blurry and heavy, that's also why the intro notes of TLS sound really bad (+ of course bad technique

).
Probably going to do The Bitch is Back interlude next.

This very morning after waking up very late i wanted to do some more amp micing to get more used to it.
I plug my gp1000 directly into the pc usually so its a bit new for me.
After getting around with diefferent mic placings and stuff i realized that i found a pretty good "new" Cob sound.
Its sounds a bit like blooddrunk.
I wrote down all the settings and placement and here is what came out :

You will notice that the sound is a bit fuzzy, there is some bg noise iam gojng to filter out with a digital noisegate when it comes to real recording.

I will cover some parts of HCDR with this today, then in evenings this week i will do old bodom covers and thoose weeklys here directly into the pc.

This is my version of Are You Dead Yet?

I've been playing for like 1,2 years.

not bad at all for the time you've played. some parts were pretty good, but others could use more practice.

And here's my attempt at the Hate Me! intro for week 3.
I know the lead definitely needs more practice, but I gotta focus on some other stuff right now, so I did what I could. Let me know if you guys think the rhythm at least turned out decent.

That was pretty good Mystique, escpecially the rythm! The lead could indeed be better but judging your playing I'd say you have to be able to nail that within no time, it just needs to get a bit more smooth, that's all. And w00t I like your tone! What do you use to get that tone?
Thumbs up.

Thank you guys! the feedback is really appreciated

I use a Pod XT...that's actually the same tone I used for the Downfall intro riff. I'm not at home right now, so I can't tell you which amp and cab setting I used, but if you want, I'll let you know later tonight.

TimMerrick · August 25th, 2008, 05:00 PM

Mystique, nice work! I actually forgot I was listening to a cover at some points!

Also, bad news people

Remember that lump I showed you on my hand? I'm gonna have to have minor surgery to have it removed

I dunno when exactly, but hopefully it won't take me too long to recover!

children of COB · August 25th, 2008, 06:08 PM

Dude that sucks! I'm sorry to hear about it man! I hope you have a fast recovery and you can be playing again man. Good luck with the surgery!

@Mystique: Nice! Good tone, and the lead isn't that bad, your playing is quite clean. There are a couple of errors during the rythm part but overall is quite good. I liked it.

Irenicus · August 25th, 2008, 06:25 PM

Damn Tim that sucks,but good luck with it,just be sure to rest any injury/recovery that may inhibit your guitar playing,you could cause even worse damage by rushing back into things,Good stuff Mystique

Reminds me must trade in my pod for a more up to date one

aw man, I'm really sorry to hear that...is that the main reason you haven't been posting recordings lately? because of that lump? well, I hope everything goes well...just take it easy and let it recover fully before you try playing again.

@Jose, Tim and Irenicus: Thank you for listening

Jose, yeah, I caught a mistake in the rhythm also...it's for the guitar panned to the right. But I'm not about to record this again, so oh well.

children of COB · August 25th, 2008, 07:39 PM

That's ok, we're not perfect or machines (and glad that we're not, because if we were machines there'd be no music at all), and as long as it is useful for you to keep trying and getting better I think that contributing to this thread is the bst you can do. It helps me a lot at least.

Mystique1721 · August 26th, 2008, 02:23 AM

I agree. Threads like this actually give you something to learn and practice if you're at that point where you're kinda stuck with your playing and aren't sure what to do (*hint, hint* Nick

). This thread and the forum jams we have in the guitar player's thread definitely help a person improve some skills. And the fact that we share criticism also comes in handy.

TimMerrick · August 26th, 2008, 03:04 AM

I really need to update everything on here actually..

NEW ROTWS COMING SOON!!

GuitariSteve · August 26th, 2008, 10:56 AM

@ Mystique: that's pretty good! But the thing at 4" scared me!

The first bar when the two guitars play the rythm are a bit out of sync but the whole thing is pretty well played.

Do you (I mean everybody) record each track while playing with the backing track ONLY for each track recording or do you record the first guitar while listening to the backing track, then record the second guitar while listening to the backing track + 1st guitar already recorded and so on?

The last option. To me it feels better to record lead over an already recorded rythm track. In most recording software you can just mute the tracks with one click though.

ROTW Week.. Erm.. like, 15? or 18 or something...

BUNCH ME I PLEAD SOLO!

I hope I got the DVD reference right.. :P

<-Warheart-> · August 26th, 2008, 05:07 PM

Fuck, that'll give me a reason to re-string my Jackson. I've been putting it off for like over a week 'cuz I'm a lazy mofo, but now I'll have to if I wanna practice this.

What was last weeks one, the AYDY intro and chorus, wasn't it?

thanks. the thing with the whammy bar I did in the beginning just came out of nowhere...just wanted to do something different I guess.

And for me, it's the same thing Flappy said.

Are you serious? You've never even once had a moment where you were kinda stuck with your playing? Cuz I know we all plan to learn this and that, theory included, but sometimes we just get bored of it so we don't feel like doing it, and then we feel stuck and don't know where to go from there.

You live in Italy now? I will give you the right tab in a few hours for PMIB. And Resident Evil rulez!
