Fireflight - Stand Up (guitar cover)

A guitar cover of the song "Stand Up" by Fireflight. I did my own thing for the solo since its damn near impossible to hear what they're doing, let alone play it properly. Youtube seems to hate it though - I used a lot of effects for it, and they made it sound almost as if i didnt play anything (oh well, watch my hands to see general thing i played). This song was a pain to record since it had about 5 different guitar sounds, so I recorded the video separately afterward.

Recorded into Reaper using Line In on my PC. Only used VSTs listed below. No external effects, processing or editing. One take per guitar sound (clean + distorted + rhythm + solo) - its what I'll be doing for all my covers.

Guitar used: 1989 Squier Strat

VSTs Used:Poulin LE456 Head and Poulin Cab (using Orange 212 Cab Simulator and Marshall 70's Cab Simulator)
keFIR with Guitar Hacks Impulses
Blockfish Compression / Floorfish Noise Gate
E-Phonic Tape Delay
Reaper Effects: wah, chorus, phaser, flanger, tremolo

@KenyaLovesPie thank you :)

This is beast!! :D how long did it take to learn it??

[ThroughFallenEyes]

@xXTwilightW0lfXx i believe with writing a solo, it took me a total of less than a half hour with most of the time going toward writing the solo.

Ok so im mildly confused...This is all one take and you used no pedals or anything...How was it that you switched between seriously distorted/crunch in the intro and then to a mild gain in the verse...then back to crunchy for the solo. And the bridge has a beatuiful clean sound...how was this acomplished? Sounded great nontheless :P

[ThroughFallenEyes]

@unbredraptor first thing you have to understand is i record using virtual amps/pedals so its just a guitar signal being processed. for the clean and slightly distorted rhythm, it was one take. i just split the track where there is the transition, and drag them into their separate tracks with the virtual effects. the solo and heavily distorted parts were recorded separately, but if you read it, i said "one take per guitar sound" meaning each had one take. but this isnt exactly true now is it ;)

im kinda of a begginer.. cud yu do a tutoriall pease ??

[unbredraptor]

Ohhhh gotcha. Sorry i was a little confused here. Makes perfect sense now!

@savearhinoceros play an old squier strat with humbuckers against a new american. play them side by side. they sound nothing alike. play it against a gibson sg, and its almost dead on. i've actually won bets in shops against employees about whether they like my strat or any other strat in store!

but as i mentioned, i dont use a single "amp" or "effect". all virtual. i have a list of them for this particular cover in the description! :)

[savearhinoceros]

man! for a squire that sounds awesome!!!!!!! and your playing is amazing!...what kind of amp andr effects did u use?
