Steve Vai [For the Love of God] Ibanez RG570 + Dimarzio DP161 Steves Special

[vicchavill]

Cheater, get a real backing track without guitars, i'm listening like 70% Steve's guitar and only 30% your guitar

[CarlosCepinha]

@vicchavill

you must be blind, or you dunno how to read, this video is pretty old and my playing in this video is really awfull but your hears need to develop enough to be able to hear my mistakes lolol.

i was ashemed and wanted to delete this video but my friends asked me not to because it will make me remember my 'old me'. i didn't had the naked tracks back then.

i even thought about recording a newer version but it aint worth the effort, i'm heading for jazzy fusion stuff not rock shred.

[ironpriest00]

Dude.... totally awesome

How much did it cost to you that guitar?

[CarlosCepinha]

ty very much man,

this vid is old my playing was so bad... =\

[ironpriest00]

@CarlosCepinha

just a few mistakes... you should record another one... with the same guitar of course jajajaja

i want to buy a 570 too... from the year if i can

[CarlosCepinha]

@ironpriest00

i've been thinking about that... but i haven't had much time eheh, good luck getting a 570, they are getting pretty sought after in the used market as they are good guitars that sometimes come in very low prices. good luck ;)

[GuitarmanIeuan]

Jesus that tone sounds so awesome! I need to get this pickup

[Duffman1300068]

this is really good bro! i just snagged an RG 570 a few months ago. greatest guitar ever!

[CarlosCepinha]

@Duffman1300068 ty very much. this vid is old and my playing here was pretty bad but the guitar used, these japan made RGs are amazing I have 3 of them now. althought one is a GRG270B with edgeIII, but with dimarzios (air norton + tonezone) wich make it sound so nice so powerfull.

[deathcore1239]

god i love rg570's. theyre every bit as good as a jem with 1/3rd the price. well they dont make em anymore (unless you count the rg1570?) but you get what i mean

[CarlosCepinha]

@deathcore1239 yeah, the big diference is on the edge to edge pro bridge or zr bridge.

getting a RG stock you can change pickups to whatever you like and it can suit a wide range of styles from the heaviest stuff to shred to funk or sometimes even jazz.

this one needs a refret as it is quite old... but still a great instrument.

[deathcore1239]

@CarlosCepinha yea i knew they changes trems and put a prestige neck profile and logo on it but thats about it. i love the versatility of an ibanez, the rest are so 1 dimensional. schecters=metal, esp's=metal, gibson=classic rock & metal, fender=rock & blues well, you get what i mean. but ibanez can do em all (tho its really hard to get that strat sound)

[HitaroX]

awsome bro, question: is the bridge edge or original floyd or what?

[CarlosCepinha]

@HitaroX

really bad playing here this vid is too old... bridge is original edge, the first edge model ever, introduced by Ibanez in 1987.

[wja51]

wat kind of strings do u use and wat gauge are they

[CarlosCepinha]

@wja51

usually Daddario 009 or 010 depends on the guitar.

[KelDawg71]

hey Carlos, i thought you did a very good job covering one of the greatest ballads of all time. I love Steve Vai....How long did it take you to master it? how long have you been playing? i have a 1990 RG570 myself......i have played for a long time, but haven''t dedicated myself the way i should....good job! Peace- Keldog

[CarlosCepinha]

@KelDawg71

I've been thinkin about doing a new vid on this cover because it is full of errors and vry sloppy. I'm really far away of mastering this tune. About the guitar, Ibanez RG are great guitars from the 500s line up to 700 (in the old school models).

Thank you very much for the kind comment, i guess it took me a few days it was recorded 1or2 years ago... i can't remember very well.

It's never late to dedicate yourself and music isn't that much about skills eheh

have great time playing

[KelDawg71]

Right on Carlos, appreciate the reply.......keep on rockin, and let us know when u post another vid.. peace!

[remotecontrol1324]

Cepinha vosse acha que este captador é bom para tapping? e em relação ao sustain como é ele?

[CarlosCepinha]

@remotecontrol1324

muito bom para tapping definido e com brilho, também tem boa definição para djent, há pickups melhores em sustain embora esse também seja bom o ponto forte do pickup é que é definido e articulado com bom brilho.

[remotecontrol1324]

@CarlosCepinha Gostei da sua definição. Só mais um pergunta, Este captador não tem tendência para soar um bocado artificial?

Fiquei de olho neste captador porque gosto de ter um som mais baixo e com menos meio na ponte e um som mais brilhante e com mais meios no braço. O problema é que tenho medo que devido ao facto de o SS utilizar ceramica seja demasiado aspero para o meu gosto.

[CarlosCepinha]

@remotecontrol1324

aí já é gosto pessoal... ele em comparação com o tonezone (q tb tenho) nem é assim tão hi-output, tem bons squeals e harmonicos mas não é todo agressivo porque não tem o som muito concentrado numa frequencia, em vez disso tem o som bem aberto e brilhante. não é muito quente nem grave e para o 'suavizar' convém equalizar bem a distorção. eu não o acho aspero mas acho-o 'tight'.

o tonezone já é grave quente e dinamico mas pouco definido muito embolado, e soa + potente

[alejandrocristobal98]

Muito bem! Eu estoe sorprendido (desculpe, nao falo portugues bem, eu sei um poquinho)

[CarlosCepinha]

Muito Obrigado ^^

[ChildrenofBodomLOVR]

would the DP161 be good for heavy metal? thanks good cover btw:)

[CarlosCepinha]

tks but its full of mistakes anyway... eheh

well, remember petrucci uses it and he gets a powerfull tone, but he uses mesa amps.

the pickup doesn't sound 'that' heavy, sounds very wide open BTW (wich means u dont have to midscoop the EQ to get an 'edgy' sound).

it has a lot of defenition and cuts very well in the mix. it also heps with harmonics too. it may depend on the distortion you get, u suggest to use a good low end distortion to make the pickup sound fat

ur nick:I used to lov CoB too ^^

[MetalUpYourAss001]

Muito Bom Carlos!

Ando completamente viciado nesta música.

[CarlosCepinha]

Tks man, boa sorte com o estudo então ;) eheh

[0hardy]

Tá fixe meu, diria só que devias fazer vibratos que nao fazes tipo a partir 00:11 logo no inicio

[CarlosCepinha]

ya eu sei disso, caso leias o texto lateral (->) eu escrevi que me esqueci de vários detalhes da musica, há uns 2 anos que não a toco...

[AtlantisChief]

Bem fixe. Tem alguns erros aqui e ali, mas quem me dera a mim conseguir fazer sequer metade disso! xd

[CarlosCepinha]

Mto Obrigado a todos sinto-me motivado a dedicar-me cada vez mais

[CarlosCepinha]

I forget many parts of the song... it wasn't to show off my playing, was to demo the gear used.

[CarlosCepinha]

[ErnyMedeiros]

Nice :P

[sawita17music]

[CarlosCepinha]

[cobraopts7]

[jorggomes2]

Muito bom solo e o som da guitarra excelente. Parabens

[JorgeMay]

Excelente!!! Muito bom mesmo!!! Parabéns!!! Olha uma cena...efeitos/pedais/amp usaste para conseguir esse som??? Continua com o bom trabalho!!!

[CarlosCepinha]

Muito obrigado, usei uma Line6 POD X3 Live com dual tone. Gravei por USB/studio direct no Cubase SX3. Abraço :)

[nikar0]

Tone porreiro!

No geral foi bem tocado mas penso que tens que limar as arestas a algumas nuances e passagens ao longo da música! Umas notas ao lado, mas quem não as dá eh?

Continua, abraço!

[CarlosCepinha]

Muito obrigado, eu próprio avisei no texto que toquei com muitos erros. Reconheço que tenho que trabalhar muito ainda, mas estou virado para outras direcções... ;)

Abração aí man, força nisso ^^

[pataratapires]

steve vai sound good to play well congratulations ...

[dwg116]

I like your guitar a lot. I have a 1990 jewel blue rg570 i bought when i was 17 or 18. I sold it 10 years ago to my brother-in-law and bought it back about 4 months ago and i've fallen in love with it again....

[CarlosCepinha]

You got a great guitar too. I got a passion for Stratocasters, and SuperStrats aswell....

[raydeater]

wow dude, thats sounds amazing, your tone sounds awesome and your playing as usual is shit hot! i'm seriously impressed by this, your on your way to becoming a top guitarist! you got skills my friend.

[CarlosCepinha]

TKs a lot friend, but my playing is full of mistakes, I didn't remember the song just did a few takes... to show off the Ibanez guitar :P

keep making music ^^

I hope to hear some of your new songs soon
