What better way to break in some fresh strings than with a Brandon Ellis solo? Really digging the 80s vibes in this one, great Floyd Rose usage and of course, the essential Big Dick Vibrato™. Thanks to Brandon for clarifying his picking technique with me as well! Took a bit of time to get used to blending legato and alternate picking bursts, but I love the sound of it.
3/12 of Brandon's solos down from Arsis' last record, Visitant! Still (very) slowly working my way through it when I get the time--keep an eye out for Hellsworn which should be coming soon. After that, the solos get progressively more and more gnarly, but I'm excited for the challenge.

Awesome! How do you get your tone? Do you use amp simulators or real amps?

[@ChrisJonesGuitarist]

Thank you! All free software, I use Emissary and NadIR by Ignite Amps, with the TSE808 by TSE Audio in front.

Great work, Arsis is an awesome band.. I love your Children of bodom shirt, (R.I.P Alexi Laiho).. Do you know the band Archspire?
They are my favorite band. I've been a metalhead for 12 years. Arsis was one of the bands that got me into metal. Can you please check out,
Stigma- The Undertaker. Can you do a guitar cover or the guitar solo in that song? Please.
