If Only It Weren't True

Ok, it's original song time again!! Woo hooo!! This was written by me and my good buddy Mark. Love to know what you think about it. All guitar parts performed by me. Vocals are done by Mark Williams, clearly he's not here in the video, so I mimed his parts, ha ha ha, otherwise it would've looked silly I guess. . Backing Vocals are me though :)




So, just to be clear...... Guitars and Backing Vocals - Me Lead Vocals - Mark Williams

Equipment used for recording this were

Ibanez RG 2550 with Bill Lawrence XL500 Pickup (Tuned to Eb)
Peavey ValveKing 100 Watt Combo
Digitech X Series Digital Delay (the cheap one, not the good one! ha ha)
Sure Sm57 and Sm58 for vocals and guitars.

If anyone's interested then that's a Marshall JVM 410 Head and a Randall NBKing 100 Head too in the background. But I only used them for live mainly. Not used in this recording :) There's also my Ibanez 7 string in the corner (for death metal only ha ha) and a washburn acoustic with a broken string :(




Enjoy and rock n roll :)

Hey Ian, sorry if you've answered this before, but do you use Bill Lawrence USA pickups, or Becky and Bill pickups? I love your tone....

@extremechaps

Hey dude, no problem, I use Bill Lawrence USA ones. It confused me at first too, I don't really understand, but basically, Bill Lawrence USA made the original Nuno one found on the N4. and it's an amazing pickup I have to say :)

Yay Ian is back. Hope you are alright mate and as always having a lot of fun.

Is there any chance you will come to Germany (preferably south-west)?

If so, let me know.

[EricMaldonadoMusic]

Ian we have missed you!! haha. I love the song and playing dude. I couldn't help but notice that slight Nuno approach in your solo, but still original :-) You are seriously one of my favorite players on the net. I have been watching your videos since you put out 'For The Love Of Pod' ;) Hope you are well man.
