Hi Guys Thanks so much for all of your kind comments about this track and performace. The tab and backing track are available in my book/CD package Giants Of Rock. Yes this is a Creed/Tremonti study piece. I choose it for this demo for both the cleans and crunch. The solo is not the one transcribed in the book and was me "shredding" on the day, and was improv! The tuning for the rhythms parts, low to high, is D, A, D, A, D, D the top strings tuned to the same pitch. The solo was standard Jamie H

@Cragiesea "The tuning for the rhythms parts, low to high, is D, A, D, A, D, D the top strings tuned to the same pitch." to quote the person you see in this video.

@freiture the rhythm part is altered tuning and the solo standard...Jamie Humphries

@heitorvrb the videos are filmed with several passes, with the camera locked off, and then roaming for the arty angles..lol...Yes I did miss a chord, but that was probably just one of the audio takes that wasnt used...The track WAS recorded live, the rhythm track first in the altered tuning, then the solo in standard tuning. If I missed a chord in the performance, it would have been when we were just dicking around after the main take getting different shots...sorry Jamie Humphries

Tuning is standerd drop D. For those who don't know, drop your bass E String untill it is an octave from your third string which is a D. Standard tuning E A D G B E . Bands like Tool, Deftones etc. D A D G B E . Open is a darker middle eastern sound. You will want to bar the chords down more bypassing the A and going to the actave D. I hope This helps someone who did not know that tuning. After all music is meant to be shared, and sometimes shreded !

@guitarsoul91 Haha! You have eyes like a hawk ;) There is a Shure Beta57a on the front and a Rode NT1 on the back. The Rode is only added subtly to add a little bit more depth and realism to the recorded sound.
