Solo riff

[Dragonium]

Sir Desimo, I must say, that is quite a fine display of soloing you have there. Personally FTB is one of my favourite Metallica songs, and you most certainly did it justice.

By the way, what pedal are you using for that one?

[Desimodontidae]

Thank you.

I am using my digitech death metal pedal... not the best, but its the only one I've got right now...

*wishes that could hear it "

Ok, been awhile. Got a new riff. It's not that great, and I'm not really playing it fast here, but I think it's pretty good for something I made up myself.

[Moosetroop11]

Hmm, obviously it'd be way better faster, and in context. I can't judge it until then, It just sounds like an average scale.

[Desimodontidae]

I've been practicing my neoclassical.

[drenrin2120]

I liked the last one, the one before sounded just like MT said. Too much like a scale. The last one was good though.

[carmen]

Lol now the neo classical one sounded a bit like tocatta and fugue.

Are your strings real thick?

are they old?

Those could increase that fret slide noise alot. Depending on what guitar you use, and how you record it all play roles in it too.

Alot of times it's when I press on the strings to hard then slide off suddenly; like here:

Get a metal zone.. :S

Hey it's Carmen!

Nice thing BTW.

[VahnGrave]

Well, Ronnie..

On the Fade to Black intro, you didn't play part of it fast enough.

On the "Classical" thing, it sounded a LOT like "Last Rites"..

The riff that people sounded like a scale was just kind of blah to me..

That's really all I gotta say.

[Desimodontidae]

Thank you all for your comments. Most of my strings are like, almost 2 years old (some I've had since the day I got my first guitar, I've had to change a few b and e strings here and there, though).

Gunnar, I recorded that Fade to Black thing what seems like forever ago. I know that version sucked, but now the comments I get when I play it is "too fast"... meh... I dont feel like recording it again though.

Anyways. Here's what's new: A video!!! It's a very short solo excerpt from Symphony X's "The Damnation Game". Unfortunatly, the picture quality sucks (well, it isn't horrible, but still...) and I have to record clean because my pedal just died and I don't have any 9V's... uhm... anyways, hope you enjoy, please comment.

PS: WMV file.

[VahnGrave]

I was watching that video earlier..

There's some slight error, but otherwise it's good man.

[Desimodontidae]

Ok, got a new riff for ya'll. It's part of a song called "Shretdboard" by Fugetta. Its on my myspace videos, for easy access.

Tell me what you think. By the way, quality kinda sucks.

[Desimodontidae]

Ok, this is a new video this time. It's been awhile, and I've gotten, much, much better. Unfortunately, this video doesn't completely show you every aspect I've improved on. But. Yeah. Check it out. It's the solo to "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. I've tried to replicate Brian May's sound the best I could. Kinda hard with the shitty pedal.

btw, it's on myspace.
