Using a Behringer FCB1010 with the Neural DSP Quad Cortex
This shows the process step-by-step of how to control the Neural DSP Quad Cortex from a Behringer FCB1010. I've explained why you do each part of the process and I've shown it several times so by the end of the video you should have a pretty good idea how to make it work for you.

Midnight Canal Bike Ride From Wombourne to Fordhouses
Просмотров 773 месяца назад
Saturday 18th May 2024 I had a night off, the weather was great so I decided to cycle to my old mate's house via the canal. After a good catchup and a chippy tea, I left his place just before midnight and got back on the canal at the Round Oak pub in Wombourne. This video is of that return journey. At 8 points during the video I have included maps showing my current location and the time I arri...

I played Robbie's vocal melody on the guitar and improvised a couple of solos where there weren't any vocal parts. My guitar tone comes from the Neural DSP Archetype Petrucci PC plugin with my own custom settings.

Photo by Neil Farden. There are mistakes galore on this live performance. Below I've listed the main reasons. 1. Since 2018 I've been unable to do regular One Man Rock shows due to other gigging commitments. This was my 4th solo show in 12 months. My other live videos show a far more polished performance because I was doing these shows every week. 2. I'm still not used to operating the new equi...

Crossroads Guitar Battle aka Eugene's Trick Bag
Просмотров 281Год назад
This is my attempt at the epic finalé in the guitar battle at the end of the film Crossroads. it's not perfect but it's probably as good as I'm ever gonna get it. I deliberately changed the last couple of notes of the intro because I honestly prefer how it sounds. I attempted to pull off the final impossible chord using my bottleneck at an angle. The idea was to create a major triad using the t...

Evh uses many songs with this
just get an IR cab pedal and put it in the fx loop of gt100 or at the end of gt1, it works wonders, makes a decade old unit a modern one again.
You have a great style in presenting the videos btw. I also watched your gt100 vid, and your style is very engaging, calm and pleasant. Cheers
That is a great method. You should explain why it works. Correct me if I am wrong, but if the 4th does not work, moving it up 1 half step makes it the 7th, helping you find the new key.
This little story may come as something a bit curious from the other side of the world. About 15 years ago, more or less, i bought a guitar magazine with some tracks from "guitarist of the year" . Among all the material on the cd that came with it I've heard this interesting blend of reggae and rock, a tune with very cool ideas. It got stuck in my ear for about a year and then decided to learn it. After a while I was demonstrating that riff and melody to my own students, trying to dare them to play and write something that mixes styles, as a little departure from the comfort zone. That song was "crab racing" by you Simon. I always wondered what became of you, and why I never found a proper album with more original music from you. For whatever is worth, "crab racing" is being taught to some students in the remote country of Chile, in South America. Sometimes we write music and have no control on how it will affect people. Crab racing is a song that i keep coming back to for teaching and just for the pure fun of playing it. Well done man!
Hey Fernando! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this story. It makes me so proud. I have a mixture of original music and live covers on my SoundCloud channel if you wanna check more of my stuff out. All the very best to you, mate.

Great stuff
Cheers Luke!
Really enjoyed that if you do more can you show your bike is the camera on the handle bars or your helmet and are you using an app on your phone or you know where you are going I'm planning a trip myself stay safe look forward to more from you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate. The camera is on the handlebars.
Absolutely brilliant Simon! You make it all look so easy ..and you’re simply smashing the improvisation parts 👍🎸🔥
Thanks Neville - you're a top player so that means a lot.
Well that was better than any Metallica that I’ve heard for a long time 🤘
Thank you!
This is absolutely incredible Simon, Amazing voice and virtuoso guitar skills. This should have 100's of 1000's of views. 👍
Thanks James - I really appreciate that!
So this is great If I want to use this in a Iive setting I should load up my computer along with my other gear and bring all that crap with me I bet open mic hosts love seeing this when guitar players show up with all that shit LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing stuff lovely sounds wonderful cheers
Hello I am in the East Coast of Canada
or just get an IR loader and put in the send return of the gt-100: ruclips.net/video/9yKzeQNdrbY/видео.html
Simon, why did you leave Budgie about 2007/2008 ?
How has this only got 147 views? You are awesome. Proper old school live rock! Not over produced youtube shite!
Thanks Barry! Yeah, who knows how the RUclips algorithm works?
You rock dude!! Doing a cover of that on your own live requires fucking big bollocks!!! Top job!
I saw a lot of videos about the GT-100 programming. I was about to give up because of the poor sound I got from it. No really tried yed, but I will definetly do it when I go home. I'm sure it will works fine, addins an IR's could be even more realistic! Thx you!
The in-the-box solution instead of the quad cortex is the NeuralDSP Archetype Petrucci, latency issues aside. Great Video Simon, might get a GT!
Totally agree mate. I'm lucky enough to have the full set of Neural Plugins and the Petrucci is a superb all-rounder.
A good preamp into this sounds phenomenal to my ears, more fiddly CPU hungry but affordable option is the neuralampmodeler @@SimonCLees
❤
You rock! 🤘🏻
Love it buddy hope ur all well
Thanks Stu, yeah all good mate.
Сильнейшие рокеры суперская группа рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍
I like that song and so very clever version to translate onto guitar. Worked really well, it certainly had plenty of feel in it 🎸🎶👍👍
Hey... Can i play with only three fingers... my pinky moves strangely
Hi Adele - obviously that is slightly limiting but there are plenty of things you could play without using your little finger. I would reccomend exercises to try and develop your little finger and train it to do what you need it to do.
Just seen your review at the end of the vid. Great tips 👌
Solid ride mate 💪 Looking to cycle up to Wolverhampton from St Albans in May. Any chance you could share the route you took please?
Interesting post - going to have a look at my gt100 in more depth - I just like to keep it as simple as possible
This is incredible. Masterful guitar, regardless of his name recognition. Tragic that this lineup didn't have several albums and an entire new Budgie era.
Thank you so much!
From vladicavkaz with love❤
Superb 😍🎸👌🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Seriously, in 2023 if I went to an event and a 3 piece band came out of the gates like this I think my head would explode! No backing tracks, no auto-tune, just 3 genuinely talent people who have put in the hours and are ripping it up. Sure, its an electric kit but that's the way the venues are nowadays with sound levels etc. but I don't care, this is so kick ass, I f*cking love it!
There is something special about a kick ass 3 piece band and you guys are awesome. This is a tough song to sing let along play as a 3P and you crushed it, well done from Australia. 👍
"And thank you for the dancers. I hope you are all enjoying your dessert" 🤣 Really good performance of the song fellas.
Thanks, Philip!
Kick ass song!!! Long live Budgie!!!
Great!
Budgie must be the most underrated band in history, their biggest problem was the competition from so many great bands in the 70s.
Fantastic! It took me so long to get through this whole video because I kept pausing and tweaking these base settings you are providing and then jamming and tweaking. So fun. Great video. One of the best I've seen.
Nice one man.. a more advanced technique hey.. thanks man
Don’t hesitate to get lessons with Simon… he’s a superb player and great teacher. 🙌👍🎸
I saw simon a few time when he joined welsh rockers BUDGIE an he was amazing - very talented guitarist 🎸
Thanks for an amazing 40th Birthday Simon, I couldn't have wished for a more amazing day! Chef David
Thanks Dave - I'm glad you enjoyed it, mate.
nice job.. one of my favs
I've listened to you play a bit of master of puppets and Mr Crowley.. awesome playing, very talented. It kinda inspires me but more like makes me think put the guitar down as I'll never be that good..
Always enjoy your vids and your playing. Wish i was still in the UK so i could catch a gig.
Thanks, Andy!
awesome simon bro
Thanks Frank!
Nice one man.. shame we couldn't see you playing it live in the video. Are you able to time stamp them.
Thanks Jason - I will do the time stamping when I get time.
I've done the time stamps now dude!
Brilliantly done Simon!! Love it all !!
Thanks Nev!
This is fucking awesome. Give me a shout if you're anywhere near South Wales Si.
Thanks Gareth! Much appreciated mate.
