Ratt Lay it Down Solo lesson

[zakkattack99]

the solos not right

[ibanezps10ltd]

Cool !

[Msagr]

It's ok, you left out many notes tho. But they are indeed pretty fast in the real solo :) So nevermind, good job still! :)

[djohnson63]

@Msagr yeah.....did my best, thanks for watching though!

[kubel83]

Keep up the fantastic job! Rock on mate.

[lllTurralll]

Great taste of music great cover :)

[ZK548]

Great job like on all your videos! I watched them all and everytime your sound is so authentic to the real song, it's fantastic! I read that you always use the Vox Tonelab ST and the EVH Phase on your songs + EMG pickups on your ESP guitars I guess? So this is all I need to get a tone like on your videos??? Do you use a PA or a guitar amp? Would be great if you could also tell me your settings for the Ratt and Whitesnake song you posted on youtube. Thanks a lot!

[djohnson63]

@ZK548 Thanks for the very nice comment! Unfortunately the settings for those two songs somehow got erased off my user settings or I would share. I just listened to the sound a ton of times and tweaked my settings on the tonelab to try to match. As you may know, the way a player holds the pic and attacks the strings also makes a big difference in sound tone as well. My flame ESP does not have the EMG's and no amp in my vids. Thanks!

AWESOME lesson!!! +1 on the request for the backing track. Would love to get the backing track as well. Thanks for posting the vid!!!

[You4eea]

Have you made an tabs for this? If so post please :-)

[Rothman66512]

Where'd you get the backing track. I have searched everywhere and the one place that has it , has a broken link. Thanks for posting, I always wanted to learn this.

[djohnson63]

@Rothman66512 Yeah....I had the same problem trying to find a decent backing track so I just did it myself on garage band for Mac. I will see if I can upload it and post a link for ya. Thanks for watching! :)

[evhfrankie]

@djohnson63 Please Do That!

[sven7456]

Great Job.....Thanks for slowing it down. Really helped me get this down

[Guitarsnroses90]

very cool , now i know how to play that great riff as well :D

unfortunately my high e string broke, trying to tune up to E standard xD

[CletusColtrane]

really nice job...rock on

[rockerof80s]

why dont you just do a slowd down version of the whole song and put some tabs on the video. that would be cool

[nikkiloveseva]

Dued what kind of amp & peddals do you have to make this sound?

[JUVEinter2a1il5DICEM]

ma suca ah!!!

[Emilynator]

This Lesson was really great! Thank you for posting it. You do a great job of having the nuances come through even playing slow. I had been struggling with this solo just doing it from Tab.

[djohnson63]

@Emilynator Thanks man! Glad you got something out of it! :)

[ashatan69]

"Lots of mistakes on the fast part"........I think you put yourself down too easily. This is a fantastic lesson.

[djohnson63]

Thanks, your very kind!

[Jaxx137]

You gave the best illustration I have seen for the lead part in this song. Thank you very much.

[djohnson63]

Thank you! Glad someone got something out of it.

[MrSpeed1984]

i like the tone what amp you using?

[djohnson63]

Thanks for watching. ESP M-II Deluxe(set on bridge humbucker) into the MXR Phase 90 (EVH) into the  VOX Tonelab ST direct into my PC. The Phase you are hearing is directly from the MXR (rate control nob set at 9 o'clock and Script switch on vintage).....I love that pedal.

[mazilin2]

cool vid but aarroneous's was better ;)

[djohnson63]

Yeah.....Your probably right :)

[ohjiozubon]

great job bro!!! i learn from this vid! ;)

[reaperkyle]

Nice solo! Does that guitar mean you are a flamer?

[djohnson63]

Haha...........it was custom painted by ESP to match the paint job of the Harley from the guy I bought it from. I love it!!

[aarroneous]

Great job! Keep it up!

[djohnson63]
