What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

[Sascha Franck]

the “Scarred” solo

Fwiw, even if I'm not usually doing this stuff (as in playing transcribed solos), as there's some lines in it that peaked my interest, would you happen to have a decent tab just for the solo part? The transcription on UG is, well, UG style. No standard and rhythmic notation drive me nervous, for whatever reasons. So I'd really like to have a look into a typical TAB/notation score, if possible.

That’s been a bit of a pain in the ass, for the same reasons on my end. I’ve been using that tab along with slowing down the actual recording as well as this dude’s vid-



This dude seems to have gotten it right and actually plays it to demonstrate that. I know @TSJMajesty most likely has an official transcription, maybe if you send him some jellied sea creature in a can he’ll take some screenshots!

Well, uhm - I usually wouldn't want to encourage anything that isn't fully legal. If it was something mission critical to achieve eternal fame and happiness, maybe - but it's really just a side interest.
I could defenitely get along with slowing down and breaking up the sections, then maybe using some UG stuff additionally - but I'd just like to have a decent overview.
Will see...

Spent a few hours yesterday with my favourite model in the FM9, the Plexi 100W (High).
Didn't do anything useful beyond jamming around while listening to Van Halen 2, which is my fav era for EVH's tone.
Turns out a humbucker strat into a cooking 100W Plexi sounds a lot like Van Halen! Who knew!

He's got it pretty damn accurate. The only thing I caught that he's wrong about is the B/15-14-15-14 G/16-14, etc. part: It's not pull-offs; it's all picked.

This version drives me nuts. He blasts through that fucking ascending section so goddamn fast that I actually heard it Friday afternoon and almost said “Fuck this” to learning the solo and I NEVER get that way.

And actually, I don’t think there’s much for hammer ons/pull offs at all from that point forward. A couple in those quick bluesy licks right before the crazy sweeps, but the majority of this solo is picking every note.

Yes please focus the camera on the picking hand

That voice haunts me in the worst of ways

 

[TSJMajesty]

Yes please focus the camera on the picking hand

They know a big majority of viewers are musicians, so Idk why the producers haven't figured this out yet: Make a DVD with various camera angles, each one focused just on the way the song is played, like straight onto Petrucci's hands for example, for the entire show. Then let the viewer pick which ones he wants to see, and when.

Fixed an intermittent continuity connection from the neck pickup to the 3-way switch on my BC Rich Mockingbird.

Have my first rehearsal tonight for this fill in gig tonight. So my '76 deluxe reverb shall ride again! It's a 7+ piece jam/funk band so I don't need any brootz tones and obviously stage space is an important factor. I actually sat in on two songs with these guys last year for a "..and friends" show they did and used the DR for that gig as well.

Obviously rocking the 594 because I can't seem to put it down

 

[la szum]

Have a blast! DR's are great in the right setting!

 

[spawnofthesith]

Rehearsal was fun, def have some work cut out

Definitely a growth opportunity, it’s wildly different fitting into a 7 piece vs an instrumental 3 piece. Know your role, don’t play all the time

 

[la szum]

It can be a lot of fun when you don't have to do all the lifting. Big bands are fun because they are big.

Trios are fun for other reasons.... like flexing all you want.

Spent about 2hrs working on my upcoming fill in gig

Then dropped another 2 or so hours working on new JAWA material. We’ve got about 7 songs in progress/waiting in the wings. Some chill and easy, some obnoxious and proggy lol. I’m excited for our first show in the new year we gonna dump a lotta new shiz


Intentionally shifted to the ce24 today. This is the first time in my life I’ve acquired two nice guitars in a one week span and I know I’ve been gushing about the 594. 594 is the newest and a lil closer to home base since I’ve always been an LP guy but gat damn the ce rips

Early hour practice this morning, but strings are old and somewhat lifeless
ive been using EB 40-8.5 which are nice but by the time they get to stay in tune the tone is sucked out of them lol

anyone ever try these ? --->

I've been a "I use heavy string for no apparent fucking reason" guy for too long. I dropped from
11's to 10's for standard tuning about a year ago and now I am looking at 9's and thinking, "I bet
my hands will thank me."

No, I think he was correct. It's a similar technique to what Zakk Wylde did in closing out section of No More Tears solo.

Petrucci is picking each note.
