Robert Spurling - "Destroyer" with a Schecter C-1 Classic

[grox01]

Make a long version of it... it's so good!

[danielrevollo]

i just wish this was longer

[Robertspurling]

@danielrevollo I might re-do it, since the sound quality sucks, and I'll make it longer.

[crazyheffer93]

do you primarily economy pick or alternate pick??

[Robertspurling]

@crazyheffer93 economy for the first 4 years of my playing, then I learnt alternate. I still use economy picking for some things, but nowadays for leads I use mostly alternate. It only took a week of going up and down scales using alternate picking to get the hang of it. It really helped my lead playing. I became quicker and more relaxed at the same time. I remember Malmsteen saying a guitarist should master both.

[Robertspurling]

@crazyheffer93 I can't remember when I switched though. I think a lot of my videos are economy....like learn to disappear and love monster.

@Lorejec Thanks!

always watched ur videos. and now i just thought about it ......... y do u use rode nta to record infront of ur speakers?? wouldnt u normally want to use a dynamic or a combonation with other mics. youd get more of a punch if u used somthing more directional, a condensor would pic up everything around in the room and somthing like a e609 or sm57 would pickup everything its pointed at. is it just the way u like it? or uve never gave time to just experiment?

[Robertspurling]

@DrumNBum I need to be able to record at low volumes (neighbours etc), so I needed a really sensitive mic. That's why I use a condensor mic. If your able to record loud, then the sm57 is probably one of the most popular/common mics used.

Like your style and your songs, verry nice - good work!

[Robertspurling]

@ripper666metal Thanks mate

[sleeq1993]

amazing man i love your songs i followed you on sound click and your one amazing player never stop dude \m/

please tell me one thing...u knw the ibanez art 300 ...i have one would u recommend changing it for a S series ...plez reply if u have an opinion....

[Robertspurling]

@sleeq1993 bugger, doesn't look like I replied to this. The art 300 and the S series are pretty different guitars. Play both and see which you prefer, because they will feel very different! The S has a 25.5 inch scale, jumbo frets, thinner neck - good for shredding. The art 300 has more sustain, probably a nicer tone but thats up to ear owner!

[sleeq1993]

[InsanityType66]

[FluidDelusions]

you´ve done it again, excellent work :D

your songs are always so melodious and tight-sounding, loving the shecter!

[Robertspurling]

Thanks for the support

[dashfront21]

nice dude, sounds tight.

and i read ur previous comment. u paid 545 for the guitar?? i saw it on some sites for 700 or 800 about a month ago.. did the price drop that much?

[Robertspurling]

Yeah, Schecter discontinued the C-1 Classic and all the stores wanted to clear their stock, so places like zzounds and americanmusical were selling them for $500 US!!!! They don't have international shipping though. I bought mine from a US ebay store who was also clearing their stock....or trying to compete with the big stores.

[dashfront21]

does that mean that in a while, its impossible to buy new?? i was thinking about waiting till summer.. i'm hoping i can still get it new from zzounds or some place.

[Robertspurling]

I was going to say all the big stores like zzounds are sold out, but I just checked zzounds and I guess they got more in....which is weird since Schecter stopped producing them. They are still selling for $500, I'd grab one now before they are gone. You might be able to find a new one in the summer but It probably won't be for $500.

[dashfront21]

alright, i'll try to pick one up. thx bro.

[Robertspurling]

@dashfront21 Did you end up grabbing one?

[dashfront21]

theres no way i can right now, i am completely out of money. it looks like i have to save up and purchase one this summer. as of right now, it also seems like i may have to look for another guitar lol..

[Robertspurling]

Thanks buddy

[bolvack]

Awsome and nice, guitar, how much did it cost?

Btw, did you sold your ibanez RG? hopefully tomorrow im getting one exactly the same lol. :P

[Robertspurling]

I paid $545 US for the guitar and $90 US shipping, so about $635 US ($700 AUD) altogether. I'll never sell my RG since it was my first guitar, and I probably wouldn't get much for it since it's been played to death. Have fun with it.
