look at you guys being sweet to me
i appreciate the kind words and will try my best to answer all questions!
Rob, i assume you are talking about the arpegios in the end? they are loosely based off of some simple major7th shapes, the trick is you have to do em like greg howe and "hammer from nowhere" with your left hand, right before i go into em you can see me slide my cheater hair band around the neck i am a huge fusion, howe,kotzen,govan fan and so i rip em off whenever i can and throw my redneck take on em
the last series of sweeps are based around e augmented shapes, if you like a will try and post a lesson video explaining some of those dudes on you tube, they sound wild! thanks for the kind words and i hope i was of some help!
supersonic, no that is my beloved basswood maple hum sing hum anderson. i named it the ring, because its precious to me LOL, yes h3 in bridge, my settings are gonna sound wild but here they are, ch3 of course. gain 2:30 or less. volume high like 2:00. treble 10-11:00, mid 2:30, bass noon. now my little herbie secret. mid cut on but LOW like 8:30 then level at 12:30 (i dont use it to cut mids it just seems to throw a different voice on em just me though
) presence up to compensate for low treble, around 1:00, deep noon, v 2master as loud as you can take it
i also notice that v2 master throws a different voice on the amp and i like it better for leads. anderson thru herbie ftw baby! love those guitars!
nbarts and mike (eddyrox for those that dont know him) please dont ever compare me to eric johnson and shawn lane, im not worthy
im mererly a padawan, they are jedi!!!
but thank you for the kind words! and yeah there are some redneck mandolin licks in there, all my music dork friends like to call me the shredneck LOL thanks for the compliments on playing live like that, i have a strong belief that if you cant bring it in front of a crowd then what good is it? dont get me wrong there are 12 year old girls on youtube in their bedrooms with more chops than petrucci but it becomes a whole new game in front of a few thousand people, hell its a new game in front of 20 people!!
thanks again for the kind words fellas you guys made my rig-talk playing debut a good one!! you boys rock!!
peace
A Wood
