Granted, mp3/WAVs flying around compromised (should it?) certain quality hertz (especially your trademark around 800kHz-1.2MHz). But hey man, that's FUZZTONE galore! where's the brown sound... earthshaker bottom, low-mids?? Personally, I strongly feel one shouldnt compromise THE sound, at all. More so, a guitar icon who has achieved a certain trademark sound & style. (Unless this is THE new Bode-sound, i dont know?) Yeah, sessions would require you sounding&playing like this & that as prescribed by the producers. but THIS, is your spotlight dude. You nailed the style, not the sound. No apologies.

Urrmmm...ok...I have to partially agree with that. I was actually going for a cheap guitar going through a fuzztone through a cheap practice amp sound for that solo. This sounds makes it difficult to play because it sounds...errr....crap  and it further amplifies your mistakes and deficiencies. Why do I subject myself to this situation? Idunno man...it was 4 am in the morning...and our past experiences did show that weird things happen at that time of the day eh? 
I just did a session 2 days ago and programmed 2 new guitar tones which...I think...is the kinda tone you were expecting from me. Wish we can meet so that you can listen to the rough mix!
| aB wrote: | Could be the exaggerated hi-s & hi-mids, but the second half of the solo, especially the alternate picking phase lacked notes clarity. Sounds like rushing through an ascending & descending exercise. Obviously fast, but some clarity would definitely give an even scarier impression of speed. No, not expecting Kee Marcello ping pong balls oozing out of the solo, but in comparison, the tapping notes tone managed to scream through the speakers.
Vibrato at the end of the alternates somehow sounded 'half breathed' and didn't gel well with the phrasing (yeah, what a fuzzy statement).

Yeah...I dunno whether the sound has something to do with it as well(it's nicer to blame the sound rather than myself! Lol!), but the exaggerated highs do fuzz out the clarity me thinks (this in comparison of other alternate picking bits I've done with tamer sounds). BUT...I think my choice of pick is also one of the many contributors to the equations. I used an old worn out Dunlop 1.5mm teardrop shaped pick...and this pick was totally worn out, that the tip is almost totally rounded off...
And another thing....I pick differently than others....I find out that my alternate picking technique produces tones more in the category of what Jake E. Lee/Gary Moore/John Sykes/Steve Lukather would produce...you know when they play beyond a certain speed, they sound like they are chucking razor blades at you or like a machine gun running(sorry I cant quote a musical analogy here ). This is different from the smooth sharp attack that you here coming from players who picks more in the category of Yngwie/Vinnie Moore.
I have been told, to get a smoother tone, I gotta use the 'pointed tip' Dunlop (the purple stubby ones). But at the moment I think I'm sticking to my razor blade tone as my identity.
But just in case if one day I decide to change my tone to the smoother one, what would anybody here recommend?
Suggestions from everyone here please!

i would recommend the pointed tortex....Guthrie Govan once said that he often sharpens his pick during his teenage years until he found the pointed pick which really helped him alot.
but bro Bode why dont you try the Paul Gilbert Ibanez pick which i use....its very good

Oh...yeah...he he...the last note(the 62nd note in the alternate picking lick) was bent sharp actually...or in less technical terms...'sumbang'...

Min...what gauge is the Paul Gilbert pick? Is it 1.2mm? Izuan did mention Petrucci's Jazz III
Ok...any other suggestions for picks? I think I might one day go out and buy all these picks and try 'em out... |
