Shane Cotee - Riff Idea with Takamine TAN15C and Crate Gunnison Amp

[spbest66]

I love the riff! I am about to buy this guitar in a few days and am incredibly excited. Would you be willing to give the tab for your riff, or at least a general idea of what you are doing? I am having a hard time seeing it well in the video.

@spbest66 Thanks and congrats on buying one of the best guitars in the world. I can't give away all of my secrets, but I can tell you that in the tuning I used (D A D G A E), it makes it easy to get a 12-string sound by playing a note on the 2nd string (the B tuned down to A) and matching it two frets up on the G. I do that through most of the riff and kind of improvise around the A minor scale.

Wow lovely melody. Love the guitar, would you recommend one? Finding it difficult to chose between the Takamine and a more expensive Taylor 210.

haha best guitar going! what was the settings on ur amp and preamp like for this?

[shanecotee]

@conorb147 I had a fresh set of Elixir strings, the built-in Crate Gunnison reverb ("M" setting around level 8). The guitar's CoolTube setting was up around half-way and I dropped the bass and mids a little bit. The Gunnison's settings were something like this: Low: 3, Mid: 3, Contour: 7, High: 3, DSP Send: 7, Tweeter Cut: 3. Hope that helps.

@oulmang I finally translated your comment and wanted to say thanks for the compliments. I'll try to get my nephew back on the camera for some new videos soon.
