I don't really care if these get only 20 views and a bunch of downvotes on YT, this vid was so much fun to record and put together. I'm going to go back and do videos for a lot of my older songs and some new ones. I figured I'd start with the heaviest, most 80s speed metal shreddy one first.
Speaking of that guitar, I actually really enjoy using the sustainer, and I didn't think I would. It definitely gives another option for feedback, sustain, or just making a note sound uncontrolled. I thought it matched the singer from Sponge's inflections really well, which is why I did that cover of Plowed.
Yeah Zepp, that's all the MT15 with an overdrive in front, direct into the captor. I think the only thing still stock on the guitar is maybe the switch and tone knob. I did not like the brass hardware at all.
Thanks! Bridge is an Evo 7, neck is a Liquifire. I like Air Nortons better in the neck, but I'm not changing it out anytime soon, the LF is close enough. The Evo 7 is just badass, it feels responsive when playing, and recordings of it always come out super clear and aggressive.
I've heard the song so much recently, my mind starts replacing words with random ones. I need a break from it for awhile, so it was good to get the video done so I can mentally move on to something else. I've been putting this idea together for over a month now.
Thanks man! Drew, I think, made a comment a while ago about doing less with camera angles and more just playing so I decided to try it out. Also, my older son told me when he's at his biological mom's house he watches these videos when he's feeling homesick, so it was cool to actually have him help me setup and record this one. Got this one done on the second take, that's a new record for me for sure.
I love many things about that, tone, shreddy goodness , gear.... but a great wrist vibrato like that is priceless :yesway: So many bad finger vibratos I see every day, its refreshing to see correct technique on such a important thing.
And now for something completely different. This is what happens when I sit around with an FM3 and an iPad. I tuned the guitars and bass down to drop G yet didn't make a metal song.
Oh we're going deeper into the EDM nonsense now. I just laid out all the tools on the table and went at it this past week to create this. I don't even know WTF this is, but I was able to use the FM3 and Dual Rectifier, along with my trusty iPad and bass to create something very strange. It's melodic for sure, but I have no idea where this is going. I just know it's been kinda fun doing something so very different.
Rhythm guitars are the rectifier, crunchy cleans and leads are the FM3. Guitars and bass are tuned to Dropped G&D because I want the damn room to rattle.
Maybe the biggest quarantine project of them all for me, as I've been working on this for about 2 years. I started this originally as a cover song my last band was going to do, then kept the idea when we disbanded. I don't have a band this year, so hell, I'll sing. But since I suck at singing, I'm using a vocoder pedal for a bit more unique voice. I was inspired last night to finally sit down and finish my mix after seeing another thread on here about the Iron Maiden-esque version recently posted.
