Under One Sky

This is the penultimate track from my 2nd album, "At the Dream's Edge" released digitally via Basick Records on April 12th, 2010!

Nothing too fancy here - I decided editing was too hard, so you can just decide what you'd like to watch yourself ;]

Stuff used in this song:

RG2228
H&S Custom 6 String (no longer own!)
Drum Kit From Hell Superior 1
Reason 4
Nexus 2
Cubase 5

I was going to do something similar but then realized, i'm retarded.

Nice work, superb tones. I'm looking to get back into home recording and stuck between HD500, HD Pro, Eleven Rack, Axe-FX II. Bearing in mind cost of foot controllers and bundled pro tools 10 with the eleven rack what do you suggest? I love the shimmer fx's in the Line 6 gear (far cheaper than the Axe FXII) but I also want to record a dry mono track (just in case), I also want decent fx editing and good but easy sequencing. Any advice would be welcome of anybody, thanks

@pmay222 It's primarily a 7 string song, but I use the 8th string for a downwards slide off of a B (which I couldn't do with a fixed bridge) and for the swing time riff in the middle. So in a word, yes. Yes I do need 8 strings ;) Look at the Bad Code video if you'd like to see use of the full range of this instrument.

@pmay222 Why take advantage of a whole piano then? They may be the same notes, but they certainly don't make the same sound. He obviously doesn't NEED 8 strings, but it let's him take advantage of both lower and higher octaves. If he were to just tune low to say B standard, his high notes would also be forced to be that low. Adding the extra strings gives him a much wider range.

Is this in the key of of G?

[Jacobgordonguitarist]

@pmay222 Different tuning to create different octave and full chord sounds. I mean why bother drop tuning a guitar? Lol because it's different and new chords phrasings and sounds are possible.Tosin abasi plays and Rg2228 tuned to EAEADGBE. Instead of just doing barred 6 string chords he can play barred 8 string chords and it creates a more full tone. Sort of like how a keyboard adds dynamics to a live sound.

@pmay222 The more strings the more possibilities. :D

[lobyte]

@Pmay222 it gives lower, heavier tone, and feels more percussive?

[TheWeeeck123]

you are up there with John pretruci man i am not even jokin. LOve your stuff bro!!! :D :D :D :D

[pmay222]

does he really need 8 strings..? does it have any advantage seeing as there are only 8 notes in an octave anyway..? this sounds just like all the rest so why bother..?

8 dislikes? really? I dont know how anyone could dislike this. Even if its not your style you have to appreciate this type of talent and skill.
