Trapt - Sound Off (cover)

[GBoldry]

i want that room.....

[garynoon]

@GBoldry Thanks!

[Mattroful]

2 questions, How are the tuning machines on this, and the pickups?

[garynoon]

@Mattroful I had Phase II locking tuners, and Tremonti pickups added. The stock ones are great for the price, but I hate changing strings, and lockers make it so much easier.

[comicblondie]

Dude, you know you wanna tab this so inferior guitarists like myself can play this. It's just so darn awesome!

[garynoon]

@comicblondie Sorry.  I figured it out by ear. ;)

[InferiorG]

Very nice cover, 100% spot on!

[garynoon]

@InferiorG Hi. Thanks! Robb told me I'm playing it note for note, but I'm playing the intro riff in a slightly different position than he is. Not too far off. ;)

[maintem]

cant tell what is the audio file or you playin...redo

[garynoon]

@maintem Hi. That's because I'm playing the song note for note and my tone is the same.

Crank your speakers and you'll be able to tell ( true story ). Thanks for taking time to comment!

[lifeiaskedfor]

wats the tuning on this song?

[garynoon]

@lifeiaskedfor Hi.  The tuning is shown in the notes. Check 'em out. ;)

[PrsBen]

Awesome cover dude !!!

Btw, did you have to replace the nut on that SE, or is the stock one ok???

:)

[garynoon]

@PrsBen Hi Ben. I use the stock nut.

[garynoon]

@PrsBen  Thanks, btw! ;)

[daha1]

are those phase 2 locking tuners on that dang ol' baritone? thinkin bout gettin them for mine

[garynoon]

@daha1 Yep. Phase 2's. Tremonti Pickups in it too.

[garynoon]

@daha1 No drilling. I had them installed at the factory.

[GraphixWagon]

awesome.. you make it look so easy.

[garynoon]

@GraphixWagon Thanks! It's a great tune.  Robb has brought so much to Trapt.

[3441Edward]

@garynoon sorry for asking another question :L can the baritone tune up to drop B and C# standard aswell and if it can how much harder will it be to bend the strings ?

[IdRatherbeDeaddd]

@3441Edward

yes you can tune it up to E standard if you want lol.

just gotta use the right strings.

[garynoon]

@3441Edward Yes. Drop B is basically, C# Standard tuning, with the 6th string tuned down to B. It'll handle it just fine (I've covered a few tunes in Drop B on this guitar), though you'll want to check the intonation when you make the change.

[3441Edward]

@garynoon Ok cheers :)

[3441Edward]

@garynoon will the strings break if i try to tune up fom A standard to drop B flat ?

[garynoon]

@3441Edward Nope. You'll be fine.

[3441Edward]

@garynoon cheers im definately gonna get one now :D

[DiveBombProductions]

Thats the Mike Mushock SE!! Dude how does that Baritone play? Ive been wanting one and also how much was it?

[garynoon]

@DiveBombProductions The Mike Mushok SE Baritone plays very well. The 27.7 inch scale neck is perfect for lower tunings, and it has an insane amount of sustain. Robb Torres from Trapt uses one of these guys (even though his has a custom white finish) about 70% of the time while they're on stage.

Lemme know if you decide to get one. They retail for around 600 bucks, US.

[DiveBombProductions]

@garynoon Thank you very much man! I was either gonna get A Mike Mushok SE or a Private Stock guitar! 

[lefthandedmetal27]

trapt is such a band that has gone under the radar. glad to see you cover their stuff

[garynoon]

@lefthandedmetal27 I agree. Great music. I'll get to more of their tunes eventually. So much music, so little time. ;)

[Ralenissocold]

i see u have the Zach Myers SE model in the back

how does it sound and does the middle pup impede any playing? Ive never played a HHH guitar before so i would like your perspective

[garynoon]

@Ralenissocold Yep! The Zach Myers SE is great. It's the heaviest (weight-wise) SE I have, besides the Mike Mushok SE Baritone. The middle pickup is a little hard to get used to if you're like me, and generally pick in that spot, but it taught me to change positions a bit, and even to make my pick attack a bit shallower ( I tend to be very aggressive). Sounds a little thin, but just dial in some mid and you'll be fine.

[Ralenissocold]

@garynoon thanks for the response

what guitar would the SE Zach Myers compare to in terms of weight and is it a thick body guitar?

[garynoon]

@Ralenissocold Hi. It's weight-comparable to a SC245 or SC250.

It's got a mahogany body, and a maple top with a maple veneer.

It's the heaviest I've played ( weight-wise) next to my Mike Mushok SE Baritone.

[Ralenissocold]

@garynoon oh ok

thats not Too Bad i guess....of course it could really pain my shoulders lol

[garynoon]

@Ralenissocold It's actually very well-balanced. It won't feel that heavy.

[Ralenissocold]

@garynoon alright sweet

i would get tremonti SE but no adjustable stoptail is downside

plus zach myers looks better :)

thanks for the info.

Keep Rocking

[3441Edward]

Nice cover dude :) wat do u think of that baritone cos I might get it to do C standard and Drop B flat ?

[garynoon]

@3441Edward Hi Edward, sorry for the late reply. The Mike Mushok SE Baritone is a bad-ass guitar, especially for the insanely low tunings. It comes tuned to A Standard from the factory. The 27.7 inch scale neck is perfect for what you are looking for. As an added bonus, a lot of guys besides Mike are using it these days.

[garynoon]

@3441Edward Lemme know if you decide to get one.
