@TomRichardson92 Today is the closing day for entries. I'm nursing a busted ankle at the moment, but as soon as I can I'll put up a vid announcing a winner.
@TheFireball100 Try out the DR-DDT. They go from 10 down to 60. You get tight lows and a silky feal on the highs for more expression on the solos. For drop B tunning they are pretty good.
hey man do you perfer the 333 xl for metal core over the 6262 or the 6262 over the 333xl. i really want a 6262 but someone wants to sell me his 333 xl what do you think
@Darrenlawrence89 6262 is more raw and heavy but the 333xl is good if you want a seperate channel for solos. i prefer the rhythm tone of the 6262 personally.
@ahvaimusicom Thanks man. Yeah I have tried the 4x12, I prefer the MF cabs though. If Bugera want to make me a signiture cab that will give me the same tone, I'd hapily use one.
Just wondering, Dingle, if someone were to win, how would they record and send their solo? Like with a program file (from Sonar, Pro Tools, etc.) or if they could send an mp3? And whether to add effects beforehand or let the guys at the studio do the effects? I know, it's too much to ask, but I'm really excited to upload a solo for the competition in hopes of winning.
@risingskater Hi there. How the winner records the solo is up to them, so long as it's of good audio quality, so something like cubase, protools, logic pro etc would be fine. I would prefer a WAV file. Best way to do that is to upload to rapidshare. Keep FX to a minimum, a bit of delay would be fine. Can't wait to hear your entry man!
ar well the video that you posted must just loop the solo then. i wasn't able to download the file you put. like i said, maybe if the chords were strummed and held in a posistion for a few seconds you could build the solo up to something. but its like iron maiden solo's e.g two mins to midnight. you just shred in the same places for 30 seconds and thats it.. i love solo's like sweet child, that go somewhere, or the unforigven? anyway! you live in devon, would be hard to get there lol!
@taylor122 Just tried the download link, it works fine. Takes about 3 minutes. The video doesn't loop the solo, I'll be playing what I have in mind for the first minute, whoever wins the competition will play ofer the 2nd minute, then the track changes quite considerably. Too bad you odn't like it, this kind of music is not for everyone. While I wouldn't dream of 2nd guessing what people play when they enter, I can assure you nothing I play to it will sound like Iron Maiden :)
what ever solo wins it will be a boring one!!! for a laff ill have a shred to it later! but you'll be glued to the same scales and key sigs as the riff barely changes for 2 mins!
@taylor122 Hi taylor. The backing track that people are invited to play over is nowhere near 2 minutes long, it's more like a minute. I can think of at least 3 scales and key sigs that could be used, more than enough to make an interesting 1 minute solo. Even confined to one key sig, one could make it interesting with a little imagination.
@TheMWDMusic Yeah man, once we pick a winner they'll be expected to play the solo they submitted. I need to amend the rules on that one, never thought of it.
Note to everyone, for some reason only half the backing track link is highlighted in blue, you need to copy and paste the whole thing into your browser, including these numbers etc
@UltimateImperium yeah it does man, for some reason only half the link highlighted in blue, you have to copy and paste the whole thing including all the numbers |783l34|448109661|Competition_track.WAV|19205

What gauge of string is that bottom one? I use 54 right now. Drop B is about as low you can go with those, and even then they are floppy.
