Thanks Joey
I'm still tweaking it slightly. A tiny bit of verb just to push it
back slightly and a slight cut in the low mids. Hopefully it'll work
Not to
mention I recorded that on a Les Paul that was NOT made for distortion,
especially of the metal kind. A better guitar should work wonders
Yea, I like it too. Great job spreading out the sound. This is like a good ol'e dose of ROCK slathered on a piece of bread and spread around like crunchy peanut butter, I love it.
This.. I love
Not too bad. Good start you just need a screaming guitar solo and some suitable vocals
I wholeheartedly agree
and it's definitely on the cards with my own music
Although if you're basing that on Iced Earth's sound, screaming guitar solos
were never really their forté. They also rarely had complex drums, or complex
bass lines. If you listen to some stuff from the Burnt Offerings album (which
is what that clip is from), most of the drum sound is kick and snare, with
very little overhead blend. You also get the occasional tom hits, doused in
reverb. I think it works perfectly though. They're all about vocals and riffing,
and Matt Barlow and Jon Schaffer are the only two men for the job.
I think it sounds pretty good. Jon Schaffer is probably my favorite rhythm guitarist and has a sound that I have tried many times (unsuccessfully) to emulate. I think guitar tone wise, you are pretty close (I'd imagine you don't want to be too close), but I think a lot of the way his guitar sounds is from the way he plays it and the way the bass and drums play along with him.
Thanks d00d
I agree about Schaffer... The right-hand rhythm of God himself.
I think one of the main things about his sound is the palm-muted chugging.
It's the best kind I've heard from any guitarist. The guitar never sounds muddy
or fizzy. But when he starts palm muting (and at that speed), you just get
this WOOMF!! from around 150Hz or whatever. Amazing.
