It's easier to play things than to listen back afterwards and work out what I am doing!

But the basis off what am doing there is simple, the chords are descending at that point from a G#minor7 to a Gminor 7 so I'm sort of playing a first position scale of E major starting on a G# then dropping down a semi tone to a scale of Eb, it's the change down one step that makes the effect......I think!

Hi Bella

It's a POD X3 Live and the patch I'm using is called "Purple".

To be honest though it's rare that I use FX on gigs.

What fiddle do you use?

Pete

@PeteHartley Thanks for the info, Pete. I have a Yamaha endorsement, so I play an EV 205. Most of the stuff I arrange for the group is electric guitar covers, so we have been through a lot of effects. Used to use Boss GT-10's, but they were so harsh. Now using Vox's when we go direct, and a custom boutique board with a Rivera amp when I get to use an amp. Let us know if you ever perform in Vegas, we would love to hear you. Best, Nina DiGregorio, Bella Electric Strings

Never seen a violin with 6 strings D:, plus the size looks small...probably a lil hard to play it noes?

[PeteHartley]

@ShadowRayzzz I used to have a 7 string before this one, but it isn't small it's a standard full size violin, it's because it's headless that it looks short.

[PeteHartley]

@kirdook 6 strings!

[razvanvz]

great playing!

[daf00illusion]

I can't figure out what are you playing in 46-52 sec. I bet its simple, but in fast tempoo its really amazing.
