    My tip for recording bass. You may already have a bass rig.

    Obviously don't blast it. My vol was 2 out of 10. X30BSDWja8g Hopefully this helps. You can get away with just an sm57 (esp for downtuned). But there are a lot of cheap used mic's designed for bass/kick/floor toms etc that add more of a sub swing. Obviously since it's me, talky talk and...

    I tried to recreate the Exodus & Andy Sneap studio setup...

    This one is better played cranked... IsT8TINZ3u0 It's a bit mixed up because I mimic one albums setup, but play a song from an earlier album. What do you think?

    Strymon delay gas killer for $50?

    I got genuinely excited trying out a new Caline pedal given to me at NAMM. The mic audio cuts out now and then. Jpela-R3jbc As some may know I'm a Caline fan boy. If they sold a fan I'd buy it. So I'm doing Caline month. Next up will be a similar pedal to the one above only it covers 7 types...

    I recreated the studio gear for Metallica/Kill em All

    Had a crack at the kill em All sound. erJ_EjVAQao I think I really suffered from not having a real console eq. They boosted the crap out of that plexi track and I think that was the difference. I perhaps could have scooped a bit and the bass was a bit loud. Plus I recorded the solo off the...

    I recreated the studio rig of classic Alice In Chains.

    w-Ew18T75VQ I wish I had thicker strings to better handle the tension and not be sloppy in the lows but I had a lot of ducks in a row.

    Clip: I put $1000 worth of upgrades in a $90 Epiphone...

    This Epiphone was supposed to be a stop gap for installing a 1959 P90 pickup/harness etc. I was going to get a real Gibson to put the electronics in. But after hearing it in action... HQw9PoJz8sk Listen to the end for a description of what the upgrades were along with the chain/setup/mic...

    Dire Straits "money for nothing" Tone attempt...

    Emphasis on the "tone" attempt and not the actual notes. Haha. I never play finger style and it shows. I needed longer nails...I could not figure out a little flourish... 8gRzqGKLEGM The camera mic overloads a little. It's not as distorted in the room. I have a feeling with a Marshall...

    Video: My tip for best sounding budget guitar rig.

    w0RaxBisdIs Playing is a bit sloppy at the end because I insisted on no overdubs/single take for both tracks. I feel most cheap rig vids are processed to hell and back. My downward picking face at the end...burning forearm. Check out the description for the full rig. Zero processing on...

    Reunited with my late fathers guitar after a lifetime.

    Something profound happened to me recently. My dad was a touring musician in the 70's. He toured the USA and I was kinda there...My mother was pregnant with me. He met a guy called Tommy Walker (another drummer) while recording and touring as they moved in the same circles. They became really...

    Celestion Greenbacks and v30's, an acoustic, a few different guitars and crystal lettuce ORtpCMkfxbk vid goes a little but out of sync due to audio being sourced from a different file and one is 30fps and the other 29.something (i think). I didnt end up using any of that that take, but you...

    NAD: Blackstar Artisan 100

    I am McLovin this amp. Easily the most excited I have ever been about an amp purchase, and I only got around an hour to mess around with it (at midnight haha). I only got it because I was going to flip it as I got it in a trade but this is a keeper. I have never used a plexi 4 input style amp...

    Wiring a LP to bypass the tone and vol pots?

    I've been on a bit of a clarity quest and I have a Les Paul I only use for recording metal. I've recently had great results upgrading to cobalt strings, bareknuckle pickups, evidence cables and remember someone mentioning to me that people often overlook the quality of the internal wiring of...
