The playing is a bit rough, but your tone is better than some previous clips you put up.
So, there is improvement!

Actually it was the first time I recorded that tone in particular so I had no idea how it would come out, I'm doing some more messing around with the tone / playing and seeing if I can get it better. But towards the start of the post I understand what everyone was saying about depth.

Here is a clip I did tonight with a bit more practice and messing a bit more around with the tone. Thanks for your help guys it defiantly sounds a bit better than when I started this topic.

It's very sort of dark sounding - loads of energy at the bottom end, and less at the top? That's a bit unusual for this style. Playing is better - but if you don;t mind a suggestion - play with a click or a drum in your ears because you speed up and slow down quite a bit. I tapped my foot and then realised somehow I was on the off-beat. That's a really important thing for guitarists to do, because at some point you play with a drummer and need to keep up!

So would you suggest adding more trebble? Or eqing the lowend out at 90-200? I have been removing the eq at 90-120 but for this riff I left it in. Secondly I do like the suggest of the click/drum I learnt how to play this years ago but haven't touched on it for a while. I noticed when i first started to record the riff how poor the timing was. But I wanted to try something "new and different" by trying to get another tone.
