@ravensall22 - It was the Dunlop Signature Zakk Wylde Wah...Just loved the sound of that sweep from heel to toe. One sound of that one, didn't even flinch to buy it at a moments notice!
Sorry dude, but at the time of this recording, I was really into the S&M version of this song so that is what I tried to emulate on this cover. But I couldn't play the S&m solo of this song.
Sorry dude. My old lead player was on a constant quest to find decent sounding Hammett wah pedal and this Zakk Wylde pedal was his grail. Begged to buy it from me but no dice, so he got one at retail price. I tried to make it sound like the S&M version, that is my fav. version of this song.
and you play awesome too, the solo was kinda messy but hey its ok and you say you are not a lead player so thats reasonable.. but it sounded pretty cool most of the song nice work
It was a Marshall MG-DFX 50W solid state. I sold that awhile ago now. Plus the EMG passive pickups that I had in this guitar. Nothing against active EMG's but that guitar sounded bad-ass with those pickups. I cannot replicate this tone with the 81 and 85's that I have in there now with my MESA
this is an OK job but theres no wah on the guitar in the song (only in the solo) thats Cliff kranking the bass with a wah. and the solo is a bit sloppy and not spot on i would leave it out till ya get it a bit closer. not trying to be a dick just an honest opinion. hey at least you picked a damn good song to KranK on keep it up man!! CFH
The original off the 1984 Ride the Lightning has the bass doing the wah sound your hearing at the distorted intro. if ya listen in the background you can hear Cliff slowly going up the neck. I play both guitar and bass and im 100% sure thats cliff in the back with the wah on his bass. You changed it to guitar and it sounds better than not hearing it at all. CFH
On this vid, I got it from the passive EMG0HZ that came stock on this Epi Zakk Wydle guitar. I used the guitar's middle selector on the 3-way pickup selector switch. This amp wasn't bright enough with the treble cranked, so I used a DOD-7-band EQ pedal to boost the hi's and mids's a bit. To top it off, I used the built digital chorus that came with this 50w Marshall MGDFX solid state amp.
Dude nice job. I can play this too, but my cam is so crappy you cant hear past all the static, and you can't see. Sounds tuned down though,,,still sounds great.
oh my gosh, rox. really nice. effect - super, guitar - good looking and sound awesome, but the best is that in what you're sitting on ;)) to the song - hats' off, my lord
sounds good dude.. I play it through an LP and a Marshell amp too and we both have the exact same sound. I even played along with this video and it sounded really cool togethor
Thanks man. At the time of this video it had the stock 'Epiphone' version EMG-HZ passive pickups. I used the middle position, cause the neck pickup didn't sound good at all. I have active 81 - 85's now. But the 85 has a tad more volume than the 81
first up what is that design on your guitar? psychadelic much. second nice cover well played, good recording and no mistakes that i could pick up. nice work
Screw you. I can't play this song for the life of me, even though it's my favourite song :C
But yeah, good show :)
