Ratt - Lay it Down guitar intro riff

Got drunk, played my guitar, uploaded the video, VOILA! ;-)

Gear used:

Jackson Dinky DK2 Pro Series (Dimarzio X2N - bridge, Seymour Duncan Hot Rails - neck, Seymour Duncan STK-1 - middle). Only the X2N was used on this video. heheheh

Amp: A small crappy 15-watt Behringer GM108

Distortion: Doctor Boogey, a DIY pedal also known as the Dual Rectifier In A Box. Gain was set to just 10:00! bwahahaha!

Watch the guitar's body closely in the beginning part of the video. A friend told me that the TV's reflection was captured. Holy sh!t! what's being shown are a pair of cute "Ratts"! LOL! Coincidence!

I'm sorry if there are a lot of hissing sounds. Only the mic from the webcam (also used for the video) was used. I guess the Dimarzio X2N's output is just too much! I added the intro lead from Givin' Yourself Away to make the video more interesting. heheheheh

Ratt rules! R.I.P. Robbin "King" Crosby

Thanks for watching! :D

I just noticed you got a Opeth shirt on! Nice They are the shit man!

[BlackAxes]

Yeah! \m/

[TodayAt420]

how do the jackson tremolos hold up?

[BlackAxes]

The licensed Floyd Rose of the Jackson is good enough for me. Keeps everything in tune and it's also possible to make awesome "flutter" sounds. The Jackson trem owns the Edge III of Ibanez guitars! Beware of the crappy Edge III trem from Ibanez! lol!

[dambreaker]

Nothing like having Mickey Mouse reflecting off of your guitar when rockin'!! \m/

[rodrigo1Punk1]

sick! nice playing

[gameboykid1]

@edge299 Yes it is done in drop D tuning, theres one riff that makes it sound better which is the pre chorus you have to bar the deal. Way better if you drop!

Man you want you guitar to squeal!!?

Buy a Seymore Dunken SH-13 Dimebukker Dimebag signiture pick up!!!!!

I just put one in along with 2 Hot Rails and MAN it looks and sound awesome!!!

[brib333]

I just bought a Jackson DK2 and HAAATED the JT-580 trem! I got a real Rose for $200 and new SD Hot Rail pick ups in neck and mid with a SD Dimebukker in bridge. Now she stays in tune and she SCREAMS!!!!!!!!

[nwojason]

[BlackAxes]

Thanks! I decided to add the intro lead from Givin' Yourself Away because during the time I recorded this vid the melody of Givin Yourself Away was stuck in my head for some reason! lol!
