Ernie Ball Music Man Dreamscape Challenge - Vincenzo Avallone -

[tommyb2010]

@ESPalexi92 The use of the trem is one of the reasons I like this so much! It shows how into it he is and how much he likes his axe, etc. You may call it excessive, but that is your interpretation, and you know what they say about opinions. Anyway whatever dude. Nice darkvin I really enjoyed it and that guitar is beautiful. Love the piezo tone too. Sweet.

[Darkvinx88]

@tommyb2010 thank you :)

[ESPalexi92]

@tommyb2010 true dat

[ESPalexi92]

the title should be 'how to overuse a tremolo'

[Darkvinx88]

@ESPalexi92 what is the point of your comment?

[ESPalexi92]

@Darkvinx88 that you overuse your tremolo. i made that pretty obvious if you ask me.

[Darkvinx88]

@ESPalexi92 ive understood that and so what?

[benjaminkanarek]

@ESPalexi92 Violence on a phenomenal music piece seems sooo out of place here!

[ESPalexi92]

@benjaminkanarek Violence? I'm not sure if you know what that word means if you use it in this context.

[FernandoCervantesMx]

hahahahahaha cut! XD!

[Darkvinx88]

@FernandoCervantesMx ???

[lskynyrd23]

Dude, amazing playing, and youre tone is PERFECT, keep it up haha

[Darkvinx88]

@lskynyrd23 thank you :D

[sonicbondage]

Nice job! Your fret hand pinky finger is amazing!

And of course you are always an A+ for guitar tones!

[Darkvinx88]

@sonicbondage thanks a lot :D too bad in this contests always win the speed over the melody and phrasing :\

[dhalif]

@Darkvinx88 u couldve bagged it without the harmony man! and all the top 3 wasnt playing with speed though bro.. cheers from a knucklehead. \m/

[Darkvinx88]

@dhalif i mean in general..

[dhalif]

@Darkvinx88 cool.. massive playing by the way! loved it

[Darkvinx88]

@dhalif thanks :)

[sonicbondage]

@Darkvinx88

It's silly that the shredder community propagates more shredders that forgo emotion and building up to a climactic run, and just blast you with the nonstop speed picking. I'm more for a solo that is melodic with spicy runs mixed in---that's the music that belongs on a CD--like what you have here. Heart and soul.

[Darkvinx88]

@sonicbondage thanks again my friend..people on the internet nowadays want to see what they cant do..so they got pleased seeing people playing lighting fast for the sake of it but they forgot that music is mainly melody and emotion and they also dont know that its harder to play and compose something slow and emotionally powerful then just 4 min of picking noice...btw have you heard my new Feared mix? im gonna produce local bands in my studio so im practicing..tell me what you think of it :)

[sonicbondage]

@Darkvinx88

That's why I like you---you make music--not fast nonsense! :)

I'll have to check out your other version too...damn hard to keep up with all of your video uploads---you're a machine! :D

[Darkvinx88]

@sonicbondage ahahah thanks man :)

[Darkvinx88]

@BenjaminLOfficial ahaha thanks but i just need a wah pedal lol

[Firewalker500]

Nicely done man! I didn't hear one out of place note in there.

[Darkvinx88]

@Firewalker500 thanks man..yeah this was pretty good..when the backing track is good it plays almost by itself

[damadstuntman]

Nice one with the acoustic sound for the intro. Soaring melodies and harmonies after that.

[Darkvinx88]

@damadstuntman thank you very much :D

[Darkvinx88]

@guitdude09 thank you :D

[vavrzyn]

Cool idea with this acoustic sound! Like Your phrasing

[Darkvinx88]

@vavrzyn thank you very much :D

[RareMusicOnly]

Beautiful guitar and tone! Harmony was nice, but if I'm not mistaken the Judges asked you not to do that. Hopefully they overlook it, because this was a nice Piece!

[Darkvinx88]

@RareMusicOnly thanks a lot! yeah i havent made it on purpose this piece simply flowed out of me its almost all improvised and made in one shot

[jacquitaylor]

Very nice! x

[Darkvinx88]

@jacquitaylor thanks!! :D

[pollin]

for the piezo you also used the same RedWirez response?

[Darkvinx88]

@pollin no the piezo was simpy connected to the sound card directly and here i applied waves GTR 3 "indaflange" preset :)

[pollin]

nice harmonies man! also nice piezo use! keep rocking!

[Darkvinx88]

@pollin thanks a lot !! :D

[markmusicman]

Your guitar has a great sound to it, I wish I had a Music Man after all I am, markmusicman!

[Darkvinx88]

@markmusicman ahah ive saved money for almost a year to buy this guitar..its just awesome cant say how good it is ahah

[markmusicman]

@Darkvinx88 Its beautiful just to look at it. Then you get to play it, it really has a very awesome clean sound which in my opinion will allow you to produce what ever sound your looking for with it. Have fun with it man and I am glad you were able to save up and get it, things are tough these days I am very happy for you!

[Darkvinx88]

@markmusicman thank you very much..yeah its a very versatile guitar you can play from jazz to Djent with it..

[Darkvinx88]

@Sigthror thank you very much :D

[vincibluesky1]

Hi Vince , beautiful guitar and nice harmonized lines . I really like your lead tone very balanced and your melodies and harmonizations remind me of the first two albums of Vinnie Moore .Good Luck and pleased to meet you .

[Darkvinx88]

@vincibluesky1 thanks a lot! here ive used mesa impulse response cabinet simulations with my marshall jcm

2000 dsl sounds pretty good :) Vinnie is one of my inspirations he's great! thanks for the comment and good luck in the contest :)

[kaputmonkey]

I thought you couldn't do harmonies in this competition? Nice guitar and playing, good luck!

[Darkvinx88]

@kaputmonkey im not the only one who used it..but i filmed myself playing the other guitar part so i think its ok thanks for the comment :D

[Morain42]

woah nice one, the harmonised riffs are nice! Good luck

[Darkvinx88]

@Morain42 thank you very much!!

[NungsangShinobi]

theres nothing like natural left hand vibrato:) ..i can see you use the tremolo all the time. ...other than that good music !! :)

[Darkvinx88]

@NungsangShinobi i do use vibrato..just not in this song ahah

[BlastbeatsRus]

In the contest it said no.harmonies. But it's still great nonetheless.

[Darkvinx88]

@BlastbeatsRus thank you..well ive filmed myself playing the other part so i think its ok..ive havent made it on purpose..this simply flowed out of me and ive made it all in 2 takes one for the main guitar and another for the harmonies

[ChrystianMIM]

So good! I like it!

But, this is better: /watch?v=DATEipxjb84

[Darkvinx88]

@ChrystianMIM too many Vai riffs for my taste.. i wanted to be myself and not a ripoff

[rasocomercial]

Great job and wonderful acoustic simulator (how do you make this sound?). Good luck!

[Darkvinx88]

@rasocomercial its not a simulation..its a piezo electric pickup..the guitar has 2 output one for the magnetic and another for the piezo acoustic signal..thanks for the comment!! :D

[franalonso38]

Great entry ... great melodies, great sound and beautiful guitar !!!!

Good Luck

[Darkvinx88]

@franalonso38 thanks a lot :D

[EricMaldonadoMusic]

Phenomenal entry Vincenzo! The piezo was a really cool touch and made it so unique and awesome! I love your phrasing buddy :-) Maybe if I get that guitar i can play like you :P

[Darkvinx88]

@EricMaldonadoMusic Thanks a lot Eric!!,yeah its a great guitar and it do inspires you to be a better guitarrist..it has mystical powers too ahah

[Scottmaster84]

very nice solo! But unfortunately not in one take (01:00 there is a cut...) Still I enjoyed it, cool melody!

[Darkvinx88]

@Scottmaster84 audio and video were recorded in different times..during that take ive messed the alternate picking section so ive re-shooted only that part (i had very little time to make that video)

[Scottmaster84]

@Darkvinx88 ... and it's cool :-D

[Darkvinx88]

@Scottmaster84 thanks 

[PitKordus]

@ ..and btw i dont understand this limitations...

maybe you should ask milan to explain this to you,i,m telling you just about the rules

....so If there stands no Harmonies,then the participant should accept this because otherwise he would be disqualified....and it really has nothing to do witha better composer or guitarrist....anyhow,I wish you the best,maybe it,s not a Problem for Milan ?

[Darkvinx88]

@PitKordus well if i dont win i dont mind im here to have fun and meet new people :D

[PitKordus]

Nice Sound dude,but the Rules said.... a one take solo, NO HARMONIES, no double tracking, just you with the backing track.

[Darkvinx88]

@PitKordus well ive played it in one take and ive made another for the harmonies..the video was recorded later since i cant record and play at the same time for some logistical issues...and btw i dont understand this limitations...harmonies are tools,just like bends,legatos etc so why i cant use them :\ if i suck normally..ill suck twice with harmonies..it doesnt make you a better composer or guitarrist

[highintel]

Very good entry my friend!!!! Was I not subbed to you??? Crazy..ha Fixed that! Best of luck!

[Darkvinx88]

@highintel thank you!! ive tried to give my entry a structure,like a small song,so it has a intro a chorus etc etc i think it sounds better and its more memorable then some mindless shredding over the whole track lol

[syndgr834]

great man....subbed,liked,favorited

[Darkvinx88]

@syndgr834 thanks a lot !!

[NicriCOy]

oh darn...

i think you really could win the whole thing but... the rules said no harmonies :(

[Darkvinx88]

@NicriCOy thanks well ive filmed myself playing the other part so i think its ok..i also think that a good orchestration is the most important part of the final result and i it must be juidged too..its like "score a great soundtrack bit using only violins" it cant be done

[1xDRCx]

@Darkvinx88 also from 1:00 to 1:07 it looks like you edited the video, the rules said it had to be one take, nice playing though :)

[Darkvinx88]

@1xDRCx ive messed up the video lol i havent recorded myself while playing directly..so after the mp3 was polished ive shoot the video

[yoga2eka]

awesome guitar and good composition buddy. Good luck ....

[Darkvinx88]

@yoga2eka thank you very much :D good luck to you too

[Mrgonzalvez]
