My Les Paul in action... EDRo edition

[Hyper]

Noooiiice!! Eruption cover was superb mate, nice one!

Agreed! Great job!

 

[Gibson_Ed]

Agreed! Great job!

Thanks! Listen to my Randy Rhoads stuff? I see you're a fan!

That I am. I was just listening to Dee. I liked that one quite a bit too. D.O.A.M. was a little hard to hear but sounded good as well.

Thanks! Yeah, I need to invest in some better recording equipment. I recorded all these videos on a little Kodak C743... it doesn't have the best built in microphone.

 

[Gibson_Ed]

Cool! Someone downloaded one of my songs at SoundClick! Had quite a few listens too!

Hey, Gibson_Ed. One good turn deserves another. Thank you for the very graceful posts in my crazy thread.

Terrific playing, man. Haven't listened to them all ... but the Eruption cover, I'll never be able to handle gain like that, wonderful. And in the first track, very interesting ... the Les Paul, with active pickups and a strange effect, shaping the notes, sounds like something quite touch sensitive ... even with that stuff - things I'll likely not ever use - the natural sound of your guitar, the characteristics of a great Les Paul (which I think have to be played out of the guitar - not as easy as many think, I think), those layers of tone and the acoustic sound, or the illusion of the acoustic sound, the way it responds to nuances of touch, both controlled and uncontrolled - all that stuff, it's totally there in that track, and you're playing it great.

Thank you for listening. The strange effect you're hearing, I think, is a combination of the Les Paul's active EMG "Zakk Wylde" pickups, a Dunlop Crybaby wah wah on the floor, and a little reverb on my little Marshall MG30dfxs combo. Another contributing factor, I think having to do with the sound or effect heard in the videos, is that I'm playing and recording at an extremely low volume as I live in an apartment. So you hear the sound coming out of the amp, along with the actual ambient sounds of the pick hitting the strings and the strings themselves.

Interesting, it sounded like an autowah.... nice pedal control

I was surprised by the tone of the emg's as well played clean. Nice phrasing, very well done. Still listening to the others

Thanks! Yup, it's all pedal. In fact, it's the only pedal/effect I have now. The only thing I use on the amp is the reverb. And that goes for all of these videos in this thread.

The songs on my soundclick page are a different story though. Can't even remember some of the effects I used in some of those songs. Various delays, flanges, etc on some of the tracks... most were recorded around 2004-2005, and a couple, "Ancient Radio" for one, was an old cassette tape recording I did back in 1980 something.

Anyway, thanks for listening!

Just realized I did the ending wrong on "seperate ways".. oh well! lol it was late.

 

[Gibson_Ed]

Wow, those Journey covers cleared the room faster than one of grandpas farts... lol

working on some heavier stuff... stay tuned!

 

[Gibson_Ed]

Been out for a while with a back injury... haven't picked up the guitar in over a week.

I've got some ideas for some new videos though. Will get back to recording soon!

Lost a good friend today after a three week fight in ICU from a bad motorcycle accident. RIP Kyle Meyer!

A lot on my mind lately... busy with work, kids, life in general.. picked up the classical this evening and recorded a couple little pieces. Thought I'd share...


I recorded this on my phone as a voice memo...

Then played it back and added a solo "track" recording it all on my GF's phone (ghetto multitracking lol)
