you use tabs my man? or do you just play it by ear? ive learned most of the the song (fuck the solo, Brent Hinds is god) but the way you play sounds a lot closer than what ive got... i.e. great cover

[mrfootinmouth]

thanks man, I ussually start with tabs to get a ballpark idea of where the chords and riffs are

Then I take that and start comparing it by ear to the original to adjust the details, videos of the band performing the songs and other youtube covers help as well.

As for brent hind's solos, man you just have to get a basic idea of the structure and then wing it, the man has a confusing solo style.

@mrfootinmouth I think his solo style comes from learning banjo at a young age

[mrfootinmouth]

@redfox1160 banjo and country players usually use hybrid picking and banjo rolls along with all sorts of step bends, all of which brent has a good grasp of, Just check out john 5 he incorporates all of those and more

as for the scales and stuff used I know very little about those and they affect directly the 'personality' of the solos.

not bad, im trying to get the solo down my self, i have a bass cover of this you should check it ouyt

[23movieman]

not bad you did a damn good cover of this song

[mrfootinmouth]

no problem,

notice that I played around with the mid and treble frequency levels with the xedit aplication in order to find the sweet spot,

so you may want to fiddle with those to further pinpoint your prefered tone.

(I don,t have mine connected trough usb anymore so cant check what the values on mine are at this moment)
