Ratt - Lay it Down guitar intro riff

[jaguar4098]

brib333 this is a 80's song, he needs the monster of the 80's. build a frankenstrat. only costs 500 and is a great guitar. plus is a way better guitar

[holleywierd]

hey, watching mickey mouse while practicing or jamming out is metal! I prefer spongebob myself haha

[Rocco11510]

Mickey Ratt?

[TruckyNiggets]

Mickey Mouse, Opeth, and Ratt. Lovely.

[nwojason]

you know it damn it

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! I decided to add the intro lead from Givin' Yourself Away because during the time I recorded this vid the melody of Givin Yourself Away was stuck in my head for some reason! lol!

[edge299]

i hurd you had to go to D tuning to play lay it down is that true? but im too lazy for that i just play it in standard i play that intro in my lil bit of this n dad video check it out nuccaa but i like yer style

[BlackAxes]

Yeah it's is Dropped D tuning. I saw your vid, awesome playing!

[gameboykid1]

@edge299 Yes it is done in drop D tuning, theres one riff that makes it sound better which is the pre chorus you have to bar the deal. Way better if you drop!

[guitarplayeraustin]

I just noticed you got a Opeth shirt on! Nice They are the shit man!

[BlackAxes]

Yeah! \m/

[TodayAt420]

how do the jackson tremolos hold up?

[BlackAxes]

The licensed Floyd Rose of the Jackson is good enough for me. Keeps everything in tune and it's also possible to make awesome "flutter" sounds. The Jackson trem owns the Edge III of Ibanez guitars! Beware of the crappy Edge III trem from Ibanez! lol!

[brib333]

I just bought a Jackson DK2 and HAAATED the JT-580 trem! I got a real Rose for $200 and new SD Hot Rail pick ups in neck and mid with a SD Dimebukker in bridge. Now she stays in tune and she SCREAMS!!!!!!!!

[SpectorRay1]

Check out user DiscoverGuitarOnline to find out how it's really played.

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! I already did. I'm just too lazy to post another vid. :)

[xtjackson]

hi would you recommend dimarzio x2n for old school thrash metal, such Exodus, Megadeth, Overkill, ....?

[BlackAxes]

Definitely! \m/

[cruepage]

love that riff,well done

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! ;-)

[maryannemay]

nice one

thanks

[UnknownSoldier4]

ok cool thanks man ill get the f-spaced then

[UnknownSoldier4]

1 more thing when you purchase a middle pickup, do you buy the bridge version or the neck version?

[BlackAxes]

Get the neck version.

[UnknownSoldier4]

cool man im getting the dimarzio evolution in the bridge, cool rails in the middle, and hot rails in the neck, BTW do you know what a F-spaced pickup means, cuz when i look on the site u can either get a F-spaced evolution pickup or a normal one

[BlackAxes]

Dimarzio has F-Spaced pickups meant for guitars with tremolo systems. Same thing with Seymour Duncan, what they have is a trembucker version meant for tremolo equipped guitars. The normal spacing is meant for guitars with fixed bridges.

[UnknownSoldier4]

hey man how do the hotrails sound, im planning to get them for my dk2 also

[BlackAxes]

buy it dude! The Hot Rails is awesome for clean chords and distorted when soloing in the neck position! you'll love your DK2 more once you install the Hot Rails! I kinda miss the playability, tone and looks of my DK2 coz I already sold it. :(

[TacoPenguin4347]

hey man im planning to get the dimarzio x2n soon and putting the in my ibanez rg5ex1 i hear its a really good bridge pickup for metal and soloing but im wondering if its good for heavy riffs also im kind of a pinch harmonics freak im assuming due to high gain it enhances the squeal in the harmonics?

[BlackAxes]

get the Dimarzio X2N, squeals and pinch harmonics are not a problem with this monster. It's the best pickup for metal IMO, I also have X2N-7 installed in my RG7321. The only downside is for lead playing, less sustain because of the string pull caused by the huge magnets, so don't

set it to close to your strings or you will lose more sustain. ;-)

[TacoPenguin4347]

thanks!!!

[brib333]

Man you want you guitar to squeal!!?

Buy a Seymore Dunken SH-13 Dimebukker Dimebag signiture pick up!!!!!

I just put one in along with 2 Hot Rails and MAN it looks and sound awesome!!!

[juanyboya]

LOL DUDE I HAVE THAT AMP!, ,but now i have a line6 spider 3 75w

[wendalwilsonrhoads]

great song great vid and great reflection on the guitar at the begining !!

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! :)

[igotthejuicereturns]

[MikkiMetalLuvsBrianJ]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! ur really good!

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! ;-)

[zenkiller]

is that the hot rails the whole time?

[BlackAxes]

Only the Dimarzio X2N was used on this video. :)

[F1r3Foxxxy]

Well played, but is it just me, or is your guiar out of tune here? :s Sucks I am stuck with a GM108 too now at the moment :(

[BlackAxes]

Yes it's a bit out of tune because the strings are not yet stretched enough, I played crazy whammy bar wanking before I shoot this vid and I didn't retune the guitar! I thought no one will notice! LOL

[callumserberus]

that's mice on the TV

[BlackAxes]

Yeah! LOL!

[dambreaker]

Nothing like having Mickey Mouse reflecting off of your guitar when rockin'!! \m/

[rodrigo1Punk1]

sick! nice playing

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! :)

[HeelPanther]

That was great. I like how you listed the gear you used. It lets me know what i need to get to make the song sound right.

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! :)

[ongsborn]

Woohoo!!!!!!!!

[BlackAxes]

Heheheheh!

[BenjaminBoom]

Hey I've got the same guitar :P

Just bought it 2 months ago and I think it's pretty fuckin' great.

My amp is also a 15 watt behringer and it really suck

But nice playing man

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! The Behringer really sucks! I'm also using a Marshall Valvestate 8080. It's in my room, but the computer is downstairs and I'm too lazy to bring the amp down because it's fucking heavy! LOL! by the way, saw your vids! You play awesome!
