Finally made a recording with my newly acquired Ibanez RG3120

It's just the guitar into a Mesa Quad, with the Toneport UX2 providing cab simulation. The actual playing is suitably tasteless.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Kind of hard to really tell what the guitar sounds like. :idk:

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

Hm, you've got a point there. I'll see if I can get a better recording made, this thing really does sound killer.

[mosiddiqi]

Your technique is pretty damn good as always, but like Mark, couldn't really make out much of the guitar tone.

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

I was in a shreddy mood, but I really should get to work and do some real playing soon. Installed Audacity last night, so that I could finally start recording again.

:thu: Have a go at the "Holy Scubadiver" BT Jam!..I'd love to hear you play on that! :)

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

I'll try, thanks.

try doing a clip where you play each pickup combination clean and then go through them dirty..I usually try to do something similar when I demo guitars:

Yeah, that's probably what I should've done, but I was in a shreddy mood, so...

But the good news is that due to the somewhat sombre response to my clip, I started thinking 'bout what I really wanted out of my playing. I contacted the guy I'd taken a lesson with a few months back, and we did another one the other day. It was a continuation of my first attempts at "Autumn Leaves", which first included the basic chords and the melody, whereas now I was encouraged to try playing it with a walking bass line. Whew! Talk about a great finger workout, not to mention a brain workout as well. This is something I've been in awe of for years, and I finally got someone to explain it in a way that I can understand. No tabs, just the names of the chords, and showing me how the whole thing is played, bit by bit. I'm supposed to memorize it, which I have. Now all I need is to learn the whole thing smoothly, and get it up to speed. I reckon my fingers move fast enough already, I just need to figure out how to apply that speed to something besides rapid scales and such.

Oh, and mosiddiqi, I gave that backing track a shot, but I soon realized that my grasp of harmony wasn't all that, so I'll leave that one until I feel ready for it. Sounded great, tho.
