I couldn't watch the entire video because my laptop explode a few seconds after 2:40. I should have read the part on the box that sais "Can not handle awesomeness levels that Chuck Norris can't even reach"
thanks for the compliment. i modified a stock mexi strat with two dimarzio hs-3s and a dimarzio yjm. i also took the neck to a really good local luthier to scallop it and refret it for 300. the whole thing ran around 850. a pretty good deal seeing as how retail the malmsteen strat costs like 1700! they don't come in wine red, either :)
I'm really considering doing some kinda renovations like those myself. I looked up the pickups and I see that they really are for a yngwie sound, which I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for but I'll think about it lol. The scalloping thing though- is it worth it? My Strat's a mexican one too, but it was way overpriced and think it's worth refretting and all. Would you recommend it, did it help improve performance noticeably?
-just realized you did the MvC2 clock tower theme omg yesss-
the pick-ups give out a lower signal than usual and produce very warm tone, so it's great for clean playing. when you push it into overdrive though, they also hum-cancel so it's virtually noiseless. as for the scalloping, it depends on your own preference man. most people don't like it because it forces you to develop a lighter touch and sort of relearn how to fret again. it gives you way more control over vibrato, string bending, and legato though.
I love the song and the game . Your rendition was exceptional. My favorite part had to be 3:06-3:15(so much feeling). You've inspired me to get my next guitar with a trem-bar.
As I told you countless times again this song. And the older version of it pulled me throgh some dark times. I just put it on repeat and listened to it for hours able to block the big bad world out for a moment so I could tackle it again afterwards.
My face began to melt at 2:25. It was incinerated at 2:40. I felt the burn for the FULL 25 seconds from 2:25 to 2:50. That 25 seconds made the entire demonstration like sex.
Oh and also, when you get back into making guitar videos, could you maybe do the Zelda 2: Temple song in this style? That would be awesome. Or maybe redo the Rockman Zero 4 Esperanto song with this sort of rockin' awesome playing. Either one would be great. And this video has permanently glued my jaw to the floor, thank you.
*jaw drops* I....wha..... O___O There are NO words to describe how AMAZED I am. I never watched this video all the way through until now, because I didn't think there would be much difference from the original you did, but....MY GOD. I can't....even....just WOW! especially the part at 2:40 . Holy CRAP, dude! I even hate myself for not ever seeing the rest of your awesome until now. This...this is beyond godly. This is the ultimate super mega awesome BEYOND GOD-LIKE performance.
I still listen to this or the old version of this daily. Makes me remember how deep in the shit I was and how the music pulled me through. You are a hero.
I was absolutely entranced when I heard the point from 2:42 to 2:50. Is there any chance that I could get a tab for just that small section? I want to learn how to play it! :D
is the first one a question? haha, it's a fender mexican strat, and the only pedal i use is an overdrive, a YJM DOD 308. i use a really low gain on my amp (3), and to get that sound i have treble at 7, mid at 5, bass at 8, and reverb at 7. hope that helps
whoops. It WAS going to be a question, but I'm rather absentminded and wanted to get the other question down before I lost it. And in doing so, I forgot to go back and make it a question. xD
Thanks very much for your time.
And now I've been inspired to go and play the guitar I haven't played in about a month. :D
OMG this is my favorite song from any video game! It is so epic!!! Every time i here it i get goosebumps because it brings back memories of playing it and how much fun i had...
