but - sounds technically good, but sounds like something that you get on the tutorial parts of a Guitar Magazine CD. as if it has been dumbed down for someone to learn. obviously not a terrible thing, but if you compare an original song with a guitar mag cover, you'll know what i mean - note for note perfect match, but something ultimately missing...
out of interest, cos i like some of the tones on the lead guitar, what amps/guitar/effects/etc did you use on the guitars?
brummygit said:seriously, i like the tone.
IMHO, could you re-record some of the lead parts through the song so they're less of a 'perfect technical showcase'? its like, i watched this video by michael angelo (THAT is some SERIOUS burning!) and whilst i was amazed by the performance, it didnt move me much musically.
love him or hate him, richie sambora (bon jovi) is a good example of someone that can throw in fast shred playing mixed in with more emotional playing, just so the listener never gets 'worn out' or lost. (solo on 'Dry County' is a good example too).
man, im waffling....too early for me.....
