Enter Sandman Metallica cover (with solo) Blackstar HT-5 Combo RG550

[nerdofeverything]

awesome cover. sounds like when i play my guitar.

[hnre4cdl]

i liked the cover but i would say a little more gain or more of a clang to the guitar to make it sound more like metalica good job though!!

[ravenshield56]

Great cover, but tone-wise it's not crunchy, crispy or ballsy enough :) I'm not being a twat, well trying not to be! :P I liked and favourited

[Hv358]

@ravenshield56 Np man, you're comment makes sense. The HT-5 Combo / Satchurator isn't the optimal combination here. Needs more punch. Thanks for listening and liking!

[iEADGBE]

Nice guitar, but i can't see why ibanez named the color "desert yellow". If it was for me, I would have called it "icecream green" or something like that XD

[Hv358]

@iEADGBE Looking greenish here, but that's because of the camera used. If you look at my video Ambient Rock Song thats much more how it looks in reality. I am using a Panasonic TZ-10 now, gives much more realistic colours.

[iEADGBE]

@Hv358 Oh ok, awesome cover btw

[paulopvpaulo]

Amazing cover! Amazing guitar

[battleaxe6108]

is it good that i am learning guitar quickly?

[officialfury]

The solo you played was awesome, spot on! Cool guitar too!

[PandaOfPuppets]

Your guitar is beautiful man

[card1100]

can u get this kind of tone alone ?

[JargProduction]

Great stuff as usual

[marcyruba]

good

[Zenor18]

Nice cover, would the HT-5 be a good upgrade over my VOX VT 15? In terms of sound/tone.

[ThikoGuitar]

what guitar is that?

please reply

[Hv358]

@ThikoGuitar It's an Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary 2007

[ThikoGuitar]

@Hv358 Look, I'm from Brazil

if you can answer me in Portuguese I would thank

if you not can, okay

but seeing this guitar in Brazil, or is it imported?

[oobinkey]

that an rg550?

[godlikecharacta]

what are your amp settings?

[Hv358]

@godlikecharacta Don't remember exactly sorry, but the ISF was to the right (USA setting) I also used a Vox Satchurator pedal here,

[godlikecharacta]

@Hv358 Thanks men well I found out that mine has a faulty tube, and crappy wiring so I'm returning it to get the head. That satchurator sounds allot better then my tube screamer I must say, cheers.

[Schpudd]

@Hv358 the ISF to the right is the UK setting no?

[Hv358]

@Schpudd Oops. you are right, I mixed them up, clockwise is UK, anti-clockwise is USA.

[nunofrg]

are you using any kind of pedal? do you consider this amp to be a good metal amp? thanks

[Hv358]

@nunofrg Using Vox Satchurator pedal herre for the distortion. The HT-5 Combo is a bit a too light for metal, maybe with an external cab and a different distortion pedal but I guess you're better off with some heavier amp.

[nomis101uk]

@Hv358 really? I've heard the HT-5 go much heavier than this without a separate pedal...

[rockingrugger]

@Hv358 like the full stack, which i have. About 1.5 times the price for head and 2 cabs

[card1100]

@nunofrg blackstar is really the affordable tube amp depends what price range ur in bugera is amazing for metal but its way to loud for home use id say try peaver or a blackstar + a blackstar pedal

[nunofrg]

thats the distortion from the amp or are you using any kind of pedal?

[GenitalGrinder69]

Metallica is the queerest band ever!!! THis cover isn't even a good job either!!! Play something that takes real skill like malignancy!!!

/watch?v=aYou0-qwWk4

[lilgoalieman]

@GenitalGrinder69

Actually yes, metallica is a great band, they are the godfathers of thrash metal, they are a piece of history and how much bassist's did malignancy go through? how many times has the singer for malignancy been caught in a 12 foot pyrotechnic and how many times did the singer for malignancy blew their voice box?

[GenitalGrinder69]

@lilgoalieman Malignancy's singer didn't blow his voice box because he knows how not to hurt himself even though he is way knarlier than any thrash singer ever. THey don't go through bassists as fast because they don't recruit a bunch of self serving divas. THey don't need 12 foot pyrotechnics because it would just take away from the awe inspiring musicinanship.

[lilgoalieman]

@GenitalGrinder69

how many Rock am rings did malignancy played in? and im sure malignancy is inspiring. and Cliff burton wasnt a Self Serving diva, he can play way better then malignancy's bassist. and did u see matallica's crowds? they couldn't sit in the seats because they were all enjoying the show.

[crovian1985]

you using the stock pickups in the vid?

[Hv358]

@crovian1985 No, I replaced the bridge pickup with a Dimarzio Evo.

[zombo66]

@Hv358 i did the same with my desert yellow 20th anniversary model !!

[crovian1985]

you want to sell that guitar?

[guithero11]

is that an original rg? like from the 80s?

[Hv358]

@guithero11 It's the 20th Anniversary RG550 from 2007.

[guithero11]

@Hv358 oh right on bro

[Hv358]

@TheM3ta1Mi1itia For bedroom practice and recording it's more then loud enough. You can also use it unmiked at not to loud rehearsels (with drums not amplified). For gigs you need to mike it and have some stage monitoring. I use it with a P.A. for small gigs. Definitely loud enough.

[bsGuitbr]

I have also the blackstar HT-5 combo it's an amazing amplifier

very good playing as well 5*

[UltimateGuitarist17]

nice playing forgot you sold your gt-10

[xxjamesroot92]

hey man

Your solo is preetty cool !

I 'impressed because you're better in lead than rythm!

Anyways, I want to buy this rg and place emg 81 emg sa and emg 60

Do you think it is possible ??

[Hv358]

@xxjamesroot92 Hi, thanks for your comment. They probably fit but watchout with TW EMG models, they are thicker so maybe you have to do some modifications ( adjust the cavity). RG's also vary a bit in thickness as well, so be very careful with your choice if your not willing to make some changes to the guitar.

[bimbamo]

@xxjamesroot92

sure it is. EMG always have standard measurements. so if you put on the right pickguard there wont be any problems. ;) But you have to think about where to put the batteries cuz the EMG 81 is active and i dont know which ibanez you´re going to buy. ;)

[Mattus1111]

Do you use a boost or any other pedal to it?

[Hv358]

@Mattus1111 Yes, I used the Vox Satchurator.

[sat8vai14]

nice smooth playing bud.....

[44baluyot]

nice job! where do you get backing tracks

[Motor2head22]

There are so called Mastertracks with all the master tracks to Metallica songs. So you'll get the drums / bass / guitar / vocals as one track.

[crysis136]

is it hard to play this song?

[Hv358]

Agreed, I prefer the American setting on the ISF as well.

[bossgt10rocks]

hey man wheres the gt10 it sounded great

[Hv358]

GT-10 is shelved for a while, sold it. Mind you, I still like the machine but wanted a more simplified setup for now.

[DanskeSange]

Great cover !

Is your Wah pedal a Cry Baby or?

I will buy one and your pedal sounds great :-)

Regards from Denmark

[Hv358]

The Wah used is a Vox Big Bad Wah (Joe Satriani).

[noisebloom]

Good job!

[mikemogfrog]

well played, remember the setting on your ht-5?

[Hv358]

Bass=6, Treble & Mid=8/9, ISF=2

[hfentonmudd]

well done sir!

[AndreasDaGuitarFreak]

fucking neat

[ShredThatGuitar]

Nicely played =:)

[88Divine]

Nice job! Flashy guitar, cool T-shirt ;-)

[darrenguitar]

[Moon3NL]
