  • what pickup are u using?...alexi.if so thn...is it alexi's tone..or u've adjusted another settings on it?

  • ..and damn, you're fucking good at sweeping!!!

  • Hey man, I just picked up a Jackson Stars SL/TN01. These are some sweet pieces! I'm sure Jackson USA or Fender decided to discontinue J. Stars because they were afraid of the Japanese craftsmanship again beating the U.S. at their own game!

  • Am still wondering how did you develop such a clean technique.

  • @apalmalarrain Practice lots and play lots, be harsh on yourself and try to not take shortcuts!

  • Comment removed

  • how lomg have you been playing guitar?

  • @tangleone Around 10 years now I believe

  • You're pretty good! Pretty fucking fucking good! Really!

    I only have two questions, how the hell are you supposed to do that effect where, you strum all the strings and make only one note ring? That little noise right before the actual note sounds great and is impossible for me to figure out ATM, can you help me?

    Second, are you really that fucking clean or do you turn your gain really low? I believe both XD I leave my gain rather low, but it seems higher than yours in this video...

  • @apalmalarrain Hey thanks alot, appreciate that. About your questions, what exactly are you referring to? If you give me a time in the vid I'll check it out and let you know.

    And secondly, I have my gain about 5-7 most of the time, I do like to try and make myself become cleaner by doing this, especially with the Necrphagist stuff I recorded recently, it helps with the clean tone too and really helps make the notes sound good. Hope this helps.

  • @MitchD21 :D!

    Well, about that noise, am not sure how you do it and would like to know :P

    Between 2:28 and 2:45 you do it five times. It looks like you strum 4 or 5 strings and let just one ring.

    Well, that gain number looks high... Excellent technique man xD I don't know how do our amps' gains relate, but on mine (Marshall MG100DFX) I set it to 4. Today I set it to 3 since I couldn't play for 2 weeks and got noticeably sloppier than before. I also find my amp sounds bad at high gain.

  • @apalmalarrain Hmm, that's pretty simple. I'm fretting a note on the G string and I'm strumming E A D G as you say but palm muting with my right hand and also muting with my left by using the underside of my index finger to kill any sound. I do it alot and it's a great technique to practice.

  • @MitchD21 Haha, something similar to what I used to think and attempt to do but I guessed there was another way, it kind of didn't seem right to me, and there were palm muted notes ringing out anyway. I also don't think I see you muting with your index in any way :P

    This should eventually give me a better sense of where my palm is placed I guess...

    Thanks a lot!

  • please tell me. How long have you played the guitar?

  • you have any vids with the gp-1000?

  • @museman91 there should be one on my profile mate, think it's facing my alarm clock...

  • @MitchD21 oh i just meant ones where you used it i just wanna hear it lol

  • @museman91 Yeh that's what I meant too, I think I have two videos of me playing through the GP-1000, it never sounded great through my equipment so I sold it.

  • @MitchD21 Yeah well a practice amp aint exactly what it needs :P should have saved up for a 4x12/2x12 cab and a decent poweramp. Would have made a killer live rig! :D

  • very nice jackson!

  • i love this guitar...

    very beautiful sound

    Forgive for my English I from Russia

  • What are your tone settings? I have an RR24w/ j50bc+je-1000 and gp-1000 and sp+1000. I cannot get the right tone...it doesn't sound anything close to Alexi or Roopes set up.

  • @StoneColdSoul07 Only thing I know is he puts the mids very high up. Just like I've been doing since I got my very first guitar. And I didn't know about Laiho. That makes one hell of a difference and sounds really really good.

    By the way, I think I spotted a video somewhere explaining what someone did on the GP-1000 thingy to get close to Alexi's tone.

  • @StoneColdSoul07 alexi has very high mids  there are different settings for the gp-1000 and I believe there is a mid booster aswell

  • @StoneColdSoul07 I'm sad to see nobody gave more details than I did.

    Well, if I remember correctly, Alexi set everything to max and pulled (where applicable) except for Bass, which is around 9 o'clock. Mid Shift was on 3, and he used the second output (More bass. Maybe the first output gave too little and the second too much at max). Also I believe he used Marshall JCM800 cabinets with Celestion speakers, at least Roope does.

    Oh, and Mitch isn't using the GP-1000 here.

  • hey dude your playig is SIIIIICK you rock. what amp do you use?

  • Very nice lix home slice!

  • insane!what do you think about stars series?

  • what arrpegios did u play at the start?

  • How Do You Record The Sound So Clear?????

  • Hey Mitch will a JCM 900,2000 or 800 will do the job to get alexi`s tone?+boost ofcourse?

  • and that was improv? NICE!!!! .....Maybe a retarded question.....but what exactly is the JE-1000? Thanks \m/

  • Where did you get it from?

  • Amazing :P i love the random little bit of flight of the bumblebees at about 2:06, great job.

  • @xxsladedethxx the pickups on this guitar are high end emgs where as the ones on 2 to 300 doller guitar will be stock jacksin pickups

  • YOU ARE SIIICK!!!!

  • did jackson lower the quality on their pickups or something? cuz the j50bc sounds awesome compare to the crap ones that come on lower end jackson guitars.

  • that sounds great dude

  • ur really good and cool guitar 

  • would this guitar sound good with the pickup in a peavey 6505+? do u have distortion or just run clean through the amp? also is this like the J90C the pickup i mean? thanks in advance, your amazing guitarist as well btw!

  • Hey Mitch! could you give me a guitar Pro Tab ?

    cheers

  • @MitchD21 Thank you very much, and I forgot to say that:

  • You're better than alexi in my opinion. your playing is much more cleaner, and i'm really impressed by your right hand. how do you get so fast with your wrist only? how did you practice?

  • @Zhalium Cheers! And I just pracitsed by playing the songs over and over, I don't practise technique anymore.

  • @Zhalium wtf? better than alexi??? hahaha are you crazy... no offense mitchD21 you play really awesome, you have a very clean distorion and you have that AWESOME jackson guitar... keep rocking =D... but alexi is a god... =D

  • hei dude, sounds PERFECT, i have a Korg PX4D to:| but doesn't sound like yours...i have a DK2M..can u plz tell me how must I make it work?:) thanck u!

    Respect from Romania!

  • @DumitracheValentin Well if you use my settings in my vid, it should be pretty close. Apart from that, the only other differences are in the guitar...

  • I sell JE-1000 copies if someone want one.  Send private message to me.

  • Where can I buy this guitar?

  • @bjarne48

    I have the same question! Where can i buy it? 0.o

  • @bjarne48 I heard it was discontinued

  • Amazing amazing sound...I can truly recognize the old Laiho sound, in the good old CoB days of Hatebreeder/Follow the Reaper...Keep up the good work

  • @wreckage06 No, but you can usually find one on Ebay every now and then if you check regularly.

  • @Ellinarkkari It was a sound test, so I didn't worry too much about the visuals. ;-)

  • I wish I had that guitar, it's almost like Alexi's guitar.

  • @JacksonRR1usa Damn right! I was going to buy the RR24 but I'm glad I got this instead.

  • are you turning your volume knob on the guitar to 100% ?? Sounds realy clean...

  • @5PLA5H I am, yeah.

  • awsome playing...

  • damn i wonder where i can find one of those JE-1000 xD if someone still makes em would be nice !

  • Hey Mitch, are you ever goin to scallop the last 4 frets on ur Alexi replica Jackson as Alexi had his??

  • @fftl33

    Alexi did not have any scalloped frets on any of his Jacksons as far as I recall..

  • @fftl33 Nah I doubt it. I'm satisfied with the way it is now, so don't wanna mess with it.

  • @MitchD21 I would scallop them... you get better vibrato and feel of the string.

  • paul gilbert at 2:16 :D

  • hi mitch nice guitar more nice now and rare with the JE-1000 clon ....... have you thing about doing a kissing the shadows cover it will sound awesome with your new equipment

  • well, about the JE-1000 100% clone, could you ask your online friend to build another one? would it be possible? how would it cost?..

  • Haha! I love this guitar! I'd only sell it for a high price so I could buy a Superbike or something. :p

  • £20,000 :-)

  • Hahahah Nice one dude :E

    Greets Fastbodom/Cloudini

  • Dude man if its not too much trouble can you send me the link or tell me where you got that lick or exercise from 1:07 to 1:13, I loved that part the best man!!!! Keep on rocking!

  • I just made it up!! I was improvising the whole thing. That's a C major arpeggio, then D major then Emin.

  • You're not improvising the "whole thing". So please don't pass it off as though you are!

  • @mrmesh1983 Well I am...when I hit the record button, I had no idea what I was going to play. Sure, I play parts of songs and riffs, but in any random order.

  • Hey Mitch where did you get the J-50BC and JE-1000? I looked on ebay and couldn't find anything.

  • the j-50bc comes up on ebay quite frequently u just gotta look, i just managed to buy one for $50, its shipping now \m/\m/, but i cant seem to find the JE-1000

  • Yeah you're right, It turns out I actually did find the J-50BC but couldn't find the JE-1000 as well. I guess I should keep checking ebay for it?

  • thats good, but ive never seen a je-1000, on ebay id keep on the lookout tho, however i have seen a charvel guitar with the je installed on it, but im not prepared to pay like $900

  • @bodomguitar91

    There was a guy selling 2 on ebay about 3months ago. They only sold for like $40. I ended up falling asleep before it the bid ended. I was so pissed off.

  • ahh nice, yeah i bet u were pissed, im so glad i was able to nab one

  • J-50BC on Ebay and JE-1000 is a 100% clone, was sold to me by an online friend!

  • @MitchD21 Exept if they come from finland, since here are still some orig. jackson pickups and active boosts.

  • @jbohler33 Ebay for the pickup and the JE-1000 is a copy made by a friend.

  • I REALLY need to work on my speed picking

  • I got a JE 1000 too, but it's an original from a 1988 Jackson custom shop.

    It Sound great :)

  • damnit - when are you gonna make an album?

  • nice. how much did this set you back?

  • @qTheLeeUniTp 65 euros.

  • wow, thats really not bad atall.

  • Vista is such a waste anyway. The only reason why millions of people around the planet got this OS, it's because of that policy which every PC have to be sold with the latest OS. Whatever.

    I still like that sound, even if you have a Vista OS lol~

  • Cool Mitch! I'm glad it's being put to good use :)

  • @UrosR Cheers man!

  • damn bro ur sick! I love the tone man, wish I had that sound but cant seem to pull it off even with a PX4D :( whats that riff from 1:07 to 1:12, i loved it! can you please tell me?

  • @WildchildIsaiah Thanks dude! Check my vids, I made a vid that shows my settings. And that's just improv. I was playing random string skipped arpeggios.

  • What's that riff from 2:08 to 2:11, i'm pretty sure iv'e heard it in some bodom song! Sounds cool!

  • @simba095 Flight Of The BumbleBee!!

  • u shuould play deadnight warrior!!

  • hey bro, ever consider selling that guitar?

  • @69Thrasha69 Only for £20,000. XD

  • You should split the jack outbound to 2 wire 1/4 to record and hear yourself at the same time.

    But damn, the quality is pretty awesome! I'm also suprised how it got rendered good.

    I'm glad for you! Enjoy your new stuff ;)

  • @RR24Shredder

    I've been googling it, and apparantly it's just Windows Vista that doesn't allow it. It works perfectly on my PC with XP.

  • @MitchD21

    Well,

    What i do, i take one output for my computer, and one for my amp.. In this case i take the Headphones for recording.. And the output for my amp.. I dunno why i doesn't take the output to my pc. But do you think that's best or is it good enough? By the way.. my pedal is an V-amp 2 Behringer... I know, it sucks.. maybe.. but its good enough though..

  • Great tone !

    You should have played some rythm parts with palm mute and heavy stuff so that the sound test would have been complete.

    Otherwise, nice playing as usual and it's great you finally have Alexi's old setup.

  • I thought that too. I will try and get another one done soon.

  • It would be nice if you could just simply record one or two hatebreeder songs or parts again, not long, a few seconds, to compare both sounds.

    Still jealous of your guitar (and your bike) ;-)

    I plan to buy an RR24... Just need a good offer and enough cash.

  • check out the RR24M, you can get it for 850 euros on thomann.

  • yeah i've seen that already, but i'm not sure whether i want an RR24M or an RR24 with ebony fretboard. we'll see, it will take some time till i have the money anyways.

  • This thing changed your tone in a completely positive direction, well done! :)

  • @DerCorny Thanks Corny!

  • Didn't Alexi use an EMG 81 or is that a common myth?

  • @ferociouspokemachine

    No...he's never used one.

  • No he used the Jackson J-50BC

    pickup with the JE-1000 gainboost. Then when he went to ESP he used the EMG HZ pickups with the MM-04 gainboost, but now he has his own signature pickup. He also used the seymour duncan Blackouts for a short while.

  • Good morning! Great tone Mitch. What are your settings fro your Je-1000? I wasn't able to install mine yet but I will also do it next week. Thx good for guys like Nazgul and arvoitus :)

  • @bodombeachterror666 Thx dude! I have the three white pins all the way down. Apparantly, the fourth pin doesn't do anything.

    And I forgot you bought it from arvoitus, I'm interested to hear your tone too!

  • Is the korg px4 good for longterm playing, or just practice?

  • @sk8ar12 Can be used for anything!

  • I might just have to get myself a PX4... sounds great.

  • Alot of people have bought one because they've asked me about it, and they've said they it's worked for them too, so if you have a bit of spare cash, then I don't see why not!

  • Nice one. You must really like Paul Gilbert. I heard snippets of som gilbert songs and gilbert-ish riffs.

  • I absolutely adore his playing! I'm kinda getting there with the impro stuff he does as in, I know the patterns, but I've got years to go before I can touch anything else of his in terms of playing it!

  • just like on hatebreeder album! real cool tone!

    I have a quastion about sweep picking... Do you use your right palm to mute strings a bit?

  • Hell yeah, my fave tone!!

    And yes I do, I prefer it to the open sound.

  • Tone sounds awesome, and playing is awesome as always. \m/

  • Dude thats sick you are just the best fuckin guitarplayer on youtube!!

  • I hear alot of Alexi Laiho and Paul Gilbert :-)

    Nice!!!

  • My two fave guitarists!!

  • You have no idea how jealous I am buddy, and I don't only mean about your equipment...

    Too bad of the GP-1000 indeed..

  • You'll get there one day my friend!!

  • lol why did u sell that gp-1000 then, i would take it with me in my grave if i had 1 :P lovely guitar tho

  • I wish I could have, but I was struggling with bank stuff because of my ZX6R, so it all had to go. I would never sell the RR though, regardless of anything.

  • nice PG chops!

  • Fucking awesome sound!! And obviously awesome playing too!

  • Damn I love your tone man

    it's awesome

  • Which scales are you using ?

    Very nice job btw ; )

  • All different stuff. There are parts in there were I just play the same shape on all the strings with no scale. It was just playing random crap!

  • Too bad u sold GP-1000, I actually never heard someone reconstructed his equipment to that level...

  • Yeah, it was a shame, but had no other choice really, unless it was one of the guitars!! (noooooooooo)

  • oh man the tone is so clear oh gawd!!! im glad it wasnt lost in the mail!!

  • Me too! It wasn't cheap either, it's one of the highlights of the recent months, I must say.

  • Damn i love you'r gilbertish style man \m/

  • Oh yeah, I love Gilbert (in the non-gay way XD)

  • always a honor to listen to youre skills

  • Thank you!

  • Awesome man!! u're soooo good!!! but how come the sound become so different from your other videos?? like quality of sound or whatever??

  • The hint is in the description...;-)

    I'm not at my pc.

  • AWESOME!!!!! SOO AWESOMEEE! :DDD

  • Awesome sound, love it

  • WOW, Im so jealous dude!

  • amazing dude, sounds great

  • friggin sweet dude. i think you're alot tighter with your playing compared to alexi nowadays. all he does is drink himself to death.. its rather sad...

    but still, awesome mitch!
