I have been sick with the flu all week and I mixed this while one of my ears was blocked. I sincerely hope it doesn't sound like trash. Love you all xx

What time signature is this?
Просмотров 59914 дней назад
First half is 4/4, what's the second half? I was definitely pulling from Dream Theater and Intervals on this one. I wrote this 4 years ago in a song that I hated so I decided to pull it out and try to rework it into a new track. I also layered the lead guitar with a synth and I love how smooth it makes it all sound. Using my Ibanez KRYS10 through Neural DSP's Archetype: Petrucci Bass is Submiss...
How to set up your DAW for heavy riffs
Просмотров 393Месяц назад
I finally got setup to record some tutorial style content on top of my regular riff videos! This is how I setup my sessions for when I'm doing a riff video or a heavier demo. It gets me to a great starting place and I can then mix on from there. I've been asked a lot of questions like this over the last couple of years so I thought it would be a great place to start as I figure out how to make ...
KEYAN Inspired Riff
Просмотров 471Месяц назад
I wanted to write a riff in the style of KEYAN so I booted up Neural's SoldanoX plugin and slapped on a preset from Keyan himself, threw together some cool major-y riffs with taps, chugs, hammer-ons and melodies galore and this is what came out. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Does this remind you of his riffs? Using my Ibanez AZ2402 through Neural DSP's SoldanoX. Bass is Submission Audio'...

There is so much range to the AZ2402s, especially with the alter switch, (10 tones all up), that I really wanted to do a video showing it off. I decided to pick 2 tones, a fully clean tone and a reasonably high gain crunch tone, and play the same thing on every pickup setting so you can hear how much ground it covers. I tried to play a range of things for each tone so you can actually get a goo...

I wanted to do something ERRA inspired this week because their new album Cure drops TOMORROW. I'm so excited to sit down and listen through the whole thing.

    Hey man, great playing. I was wondering about getting the 6 string version of this baritone (never had one), the rgrtbb21. I'm also looking to upgrade my main guitar so I could also buy the standard version of these (rgrtb621) but I can only afford one of them. I'd like to get your opinion, should I just upgrade my guitar or get the baritone to expand my 'arsenal' so to speak?

    • @itsMEADOWS
      @itsMEADOWS 19 дней назад

      Hey mate, thanks! Sure. I think it all depends on what you have already and what you want to be able to do. Are you playing heaps of low tuned stuff but your main guitar isn't good for that? Need to cover multiple tunings etc? Like, I have this in drop F# because my other guitars are in standard/drop D, so it fills a need by doing something they can't do. If that's what you're trying to do then filling out your arsenal with a baritone sounds smart! But if your having trouble with your main guitar and it needs upgrading to something and you don't want it dropped super low then maybe the standard version would be best? It's hard to say without knowing the situation

And while I always get annoyed in the moment when I ding a guitar I think they're meant to be played and that stuff is going to happen so I try to embrace it, it just makes the guitar more "yours".

    • @itsMEADOWS
      @itsMEADOWS Месяц назад

      Hey! Look it can definitely do it but here I was running a .10 - .74 8 string set with the .64 thrown out and it held tune and sounded fine but it was definitely pretty floppy still. Maybe it would be fine with thicker strings but I don't like anything above a .74 personally. They're amazing guitars but outside of the 8 string models I don't think Strandbergs quite have the scale length for super low tunings.
