Symphony X "Damnation Game" Intro (slower tempo)

As with my other video, this is one that bit the dust along with my old account, but after realizing that you could upload FLV files to youtube, I extracted it from my myspace page and here it is :).

The quality is pretty bad on it, but it was bad beforehand too heh. Hopefully you can look past all the flaws.

Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you so much for the reply.

I watched the "Snakeman Theme" video with him and he is still wants to go with the GRX.

Wonderful video!

With the money saved, I can get him a better amp to go with it instead of the $15 one he has been stuck using.

I understand what you mean about the thinner neck being faster. I never thought about the tremelo bar getting in the way, but you are right.

Thank you again for the great advice.

No problem, I'm glad I could help :). I think you'll be more than happy with the GRX. I plan on keeping mine for a nice long time.

Also, thanks for the compliments :).

I went to talk to the local music store about ordering the GRX into the store. They said they had a RG350MDX. Price tag said $533, but they said they would bring it down to $275.

What do you think?

It's still under my $400 budget and I could still spend the rest and better amp. But if there is not much difference then I can stay with GRX.

I'll send you a message to your youtube inbox so I can go into more detail :).

[CombatCat12]

The price drop for him being a student there and having a membership card.

[Alacress]

Not to mention, the GRX is much, much cheaper in comparison :).

Oh wait! This video was actually done using my old ESP LTD MH-200 guitar. It goes for around $420 these days I believe, while my current guitar (the GRX) is a starter guitar at around $150. Sorry for the confusion.

Honestly though, I would still suggest getting that GRX for your son. It's got a much thinner neck, better sounding humbuckers and you don't have the annoying floating trem to worry about :P - I love it. If you want to hear it in action, watch my "snakeman theme vid". Thanks :)

Hey, sorry for the long response time.

Hmm, it's been a long time since I made this vid so I'm not actually sure of the exact model anymore. All I can say is that it was a Crate 120 watt, came with built in effects, and it was a somewhat older model (probably late 90s/ early 2000s). You could probably get it for around 50 bucks these days.

[CombatCat12]

One question, what amp do you use?

[CombatCat12]

Wonderfully played, fantastic clarity!

My 10 year old son plays Fender Bronco Bass for 2 years, focus on slap+tap funk.

He now wants an electric. He watched Bootsy Collins, Flea and Les Claypool on youtube before choosing his first guitar as bass.

So I played this video for my son.

It sold him on your Ibanez GRX20Z.

Both my son and my bank account thank you!!

Classmate told him you have to have $12,000 Gibson to sound good. Classmate can't play any instruments but full of opinions.
