Lines in the Sand Solo - Mark IV

Hey guys,

This is my second attempt at this solo using the advice I got from a few members of YouTube and the JP Forum.

I also decided to hook up my cheap PC headset and record my Mark IV to see how it sounded and I was quite shocked.

Hopefully this is an improvement on playing and tone.

Thanks for watching and your comments.

Very nice playing and good sound quality too! Just some advice, you don't have to use it if you don't want but, try keeping your thumb off the top of the neck, except when you bend. This will allow you to have more freedom, you'll be able to reach further if you do this. Anyways great playing, keep rockin' out!

Nice buddy , but it'd need some delay , if you havn't , some reverb...keep on posting ;) ( Mark IV Rocks! )

[kbourque]

Try the &fmt=18 trick at the end of the URL, you'll hear the best audio quality with a little more delay :)

no way man, when you're not doing metal, mids are where it's at. I've been looking forever for a Mark IV clip that isn't scooped to hell to help compare with Mark III clips I've heard. Thanks alot man!

[SergeiLillov]

I so want a Mark IV!!!!!!

[SRV463]

To the people commenting on emotion...how do you know he is not feeling emotion? I never understood why people think you have to make a face in order to be feeling the music. Everyone is different

[bazilmeister]

there's so much more to this solo than just hitting the notes bro.

[babisSSJ4]

Very good but you lack of emotion. Try not just to hit the notes!!! Play with your heart and not your hands!!! Keep on rocking dude!!!

[Moshgfx]

good solo, but dial the volume knob lower in the beginning of the solo. Allthough you have an awesome rig I dislike your tone

[fippysteed]

great playing man.

[deehellfour]

[Royzilber]

[sunildholwani]
