Messing Around... Mess-up's included! (Check Description)

[BboyArpeggios]

@mydarkeningheart - (I keep my strap where I find it comfortable, which yes, may be a little higher than most. I don't limit myself).. That's freaking awesome, just like your playing. Im getting a esp this week, ima put her in drop c with 10z or 11z.

[roebu]

How much did you pay for the ESP?

[Hexospectrum]

0:23 to 0:27 = great little riff

[Paintballerballers23]

where are the mess ups??? lol

[Winnders]

thats pretty cool, i did laugh when you paused before the triplet though sorry i know its cruel but like you said in the description it was just improv so whatever mistakes is aiight!

[mydarkeningheart]

It's not cruel at all. I laugh at that part too. I listen to this and I realize how I never do triplets so when I try to do them I ALWAYS mess em up lol. I hardly play anymore tho.

[cavenasty]

"I hardly play anymore tho." ......You're joking right? You better have a good excuse because you are wasting talent people would love to have.

[dmxps225]

that is KICK ASS

[bluejacksongrinder]

dude your stuff rocks. If i lived in that area id be jamming with you. That little slide thing you were doing was pretty cool. I almost want to steal it :) jk

[guitarplayingfr3ak]

dude i heard absolutely no mess-ups in that entire thing......i love ur songs dude make more :P

[paulpwns66]

thats becasue he didnt really mess up all that often except for the tripelets

[gnwhite]

Stop making me sick with your rocking ways!! JK. I love it!!

[MuikuliWander]

Heh, this stuff is pretty cool. Me wants more!

Also, I really like how your influences have no limits!

[zingmod]

pretty sick bro, i'm gonna get blackouts which kind do you have? and which are better in your oppinion ahb-1s or ahb-2s?

[mydarkeningheart]

I have the first ones that came out. I haven't played the new ones so I can't compare. Either would be awesome tho. lol.

[guitarlad24]

thats even low for me

:/

are the ahb-2's good?

i was thinkin bout getting emgs

but then i heard about these

and well, i dont know :/

[mydarkeningheart]

I love em to pieces!

[screamokill]

do you think the blackouts would work well with a detuned guitar? say like drop A?

[mydarkeningheart]

I am sure they would sound fine as long as your guitar is set up for the tuning correctly. They also have a 7 string model of the pickup (or so I recall). Search for it and see if you can find a vid on it. You can hear the lower string tones. :)

[screamokill]

thanks man, my guitar is currently in drop c and prepared to be lowered and resetup in drop A/Standard b, so basicaly like a 7 string without the high e

[jeremy876690]

those sound cool. iwana hear you solo too.

[asianaxeman]

you're insulting seymour duncan and yourself by recording those good riffs, with those better pickups through that awful toneport. Get a decent amp dude.

[mydarkeningheart]

No offense but this isn't meant to sound professional. It is meant to be a shitty recording and to serve soley as a quick means to record and share my riffs or thoughts. If I want a true recording I will plug a mic into my Digi002 and open Protools. I am also saving up for an Engl Powerball. I know how to pick good amps and make a good tone, unfortunately I am like most college students and don't have the money to spend.

[rafyraf0708]

dam thats is hot nice man

[Skulldaman]

awesome riffs dude

[nardingster]

oh i see,

so u just place it directly above the nut?

[mydarkeningheart]

Yup. You can also tie a bandana around the headstock under tune strings like Antoine Dufour. I don't do it that way tho because the excess hang from the bandana would annoy me.

[nardingster]

i see, would there be much of a difference with putting a hairband above the nut with a floyd rose?

[mydarkeningheart]

I don't know actually. I would say your best bet would be to try it between the locks and that little metal piece you put the strings under. You really don't notice a huge difference unless your recording or doing quick starts and stops tho. It isn't meant to clean up everything, just a few really high octave harmonics that can muddy up your sound. Most people don't even hear a difference tho, to be honest.

[treverpitts]

your riffs are sick

[nardingster]

niice, whats that orange thing above the nut for?

[mydarkeningheart]

It's a hair band. It reduces the hum and take away some high pitched harmonics that are caused when doing quick starts and stops.

[someguynamedmason]

Really? I will try that. Coll video btw, 4 stars!

[Tb0neZ5]

thats smart man, now i dont have to waste like 90 bucks on a dampner.

[paulpwns66]

wow, good thinking.

[Tb0neZ5]

pretty sure its a dampner.

[UptonEMT]

Dude, I wish I could play like that... but I suck and just do a lot of powerchords, so whatev. Excellent job man. sounds kickass.

[olelok1]

another uber riff

[jeff715]

Awesome riff.

[14videopimp]

sweet dude yet another good vid

[stolen1337]

i don't like the tone much :[

you technicality is great.

it flows nice, except for the triplets which you acknowledged, good stuff man. looking forward to more.

[mydarkeningheart]

Yea, well the tone is just umm... okay to me. I will be moving soon. When I do I plan on seeing if I can fix my issues that I was having that forced me to use my toneport and find a better recording option.

[hxcainsophaur]

Your tone sounds fine.. it's the fact that you are using a webcam mic. Of course you mentioned that. I've liked most of what I've heard by you.

[mydarkeningheart]

I'm not using a wecam mic. I an DI into a Line 6 Toneport UX2.

[hxcainsophaur]

Oh.. I missed read that.. personally it sounds a little mushy then.. haha.. whatever.. your riffs are still sick.

[Idiocr4cy]

hell yeah

[equal2k4]

marry me

[contratehpwner]

nice

[Ripmydeathbox]

Damn good man...

check out my riffs dude

Keep it up
