Prototype - The Way It Ends ambient solo

[midnight7895]

tight!!!

[guitarXshredder]

noobody ever plays the shred solo =/

[mrFatalDemize]

Will that sound good even without a whammy bar and without the pedal?

[MasteroChieftan]

the ambient solo in this song is possibly one of the greatest sounds of all time.

[evilguardianz]

Does anyone know how to get the ambient solo effect? What kind of wah pedal? (If it uses one) and reverb?

[Darkmatter2]

@evilguardianz The Wah pedal is a Dunlop 95Q which I like a lot because the pedal's on a spring and goes into action when you move it without having to go all the way forward and press the button. The reverb is from an older rack unit from RSP Technologies (aka Rocktron now) called Intelliverb which I've had for nearly 20 years! great sounding unit for all kinds of effects.

[Brootalboo]

Damnit i learned this song in drop D >.< Now I realize you guys play it in d standard LOL

[esb82593]

[TheBlackmetalhead]

Good job bro yeah

[troy123654]

oo well its all good ta me jus keep doing wht u do

[troy123654]

u did the actual solo rely good but the second part was a lil off tone if the tone wulda been higher it wulda been perfect sorta

[Darkmatter2]

@troy123654 That's the way I play it on the album... the other part you're hearing that's "higher" is Kragen's higher harmony :)

[therandomboy500]

What a drums!!!!!

[Protcall]

Absolutely beautiful!!!

[kebzon111]

u dnt suck m8 ur sick

[darko1295]

Great solo. And most underrated band.

[Darkmatter2]

@darko1295 Thank you!

[Morgotheenslaver]

tht sounds like god going to the hardware store. do u jus play like that all the time to liquify people's brains? completely metal.

[Darkmatter2]

@Morgotheenslaver Haha cool thanks man.

[111misza111]

extra sound XD

[razrazi150]

why you dont do the shredding O_0

[Darkmatter2]

@razrazi150 cuz I don't play that part, Kragen does :)

[EvulPapagali]

Awesome. Continuum is a great album, serious ass-kicker. I'm hoping the next one will be just as good, or maybe even better :p

[Ragtag369]

sick man, im learnin this song and i have most of it done and im just on this part. the melody is what im tryin to figure out and it seems pretty easy i just need to write it down so i dont forget :P. im thinkin of posting a how to video after im done learning so if anyone has anything to say about that id appreciate it. good job, i especially love the effects!

[xXiSKOALiXx]

what effect petals do you use during the ambient solo part

[Darkmatter2]

some chorus/reverb/delay with EQ boosting mids for presence

[Darkmatter2]

Oh yeah and a 95Q Wah pedal as well!

[xXiSKOALiXx]

could you send me the tabs for the part from 0:54 to the end. my band is getting ready for the talent show and we cant do the crazy solo part. it would be a big help if you do send me the tabs. thanks and great job. it sounded great!!

[Darkmatter2]

Some day we'll get teh tabs going for this song. Kragen's the expert with that, we've bugged him about it but it's not happening yet.

[razorslice17]

haha nice. lol at the "I suck" annotation

[diegojosegonzalez]

deberias subir un video de tu y kragen tocando algunos de sus nuevos riffs, estaria muy bien

[Darkmatter2]

Uno de estos dias...

[ChChO1692]

OMG I JUST JIZZED ON MY PANTS!

[diegojosegonzalez]

[Darkmatter2]

Yes on both counts.

[Prototype568]
