    How do you warm-up

    Hi guys, I'm trying to kinda refresh my Youtube page with more topics and videos about learning, rather than just playing. Talking so much is new to me. Do you understand it all? Is that kind of stuff useful to you? I'd appreciate some feedback. ewAQo6O7m_Q

    Iconic Solos Series #2 : Walk (Pantera)

    Hi guys, The second episode of my "Iconic solo series" is up. If you're not familiar with the concept I demonstrate an iconic solo at full speed, then with the solo "acapella" at slow tempo. The cool thing is that for each episode I'll make the tab and some self recorded modern sounding...

    Iconic Solos Series #1 : Symphony of Destruction

    Since the first chapter was some Megadeth and since I went for some Pantera for the second one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sSTP7wpNAw). I think I might give some Metallica a go. I like that idea of doing Shortest Straw... :)

    Iconic Solos Series #1 : Symphony of Destruction

    Hi guys, I'm launching the first episode of my "Iconic solo series", in which I'll demonstrate an iconic solo at full speed, then with the solo "acapella" at half tempo. The cool thing is that for each episode I'll make the tab and some self recorded modern sounding backing tracks using my...

    Do EMG active pickups really suck?

    That's interesting. Once again it's all about being curious, open-minded and getting to know your tone! (and having opportunities to do so of course...). Some guitar/pickups/amps combinations sound better than others! I totally get how EMG 81/85 would be a good match to the very large...

    Do EMG active pickups really suck?

    Hey guys, Sorry for the late answer. Just moved to a new flat, which took away much of my time. I so did not expect such a positive feedback about EMG's 81/85. Seriously, I read so much negative things about them on forums that they were nearly a no-go to buy a guitar. But I still decided I...

    Do EMG active pickups really suck?

    I've read so many times that EMG pickups sound sterile or simply suck I was convinced of it. Recently acquired a EMG 81/85 equiped Flaxwood and I must say it's not that bad as many claim. They surely will never be my favorites. But although they indeed do sound colder and more compressed than...

    Rouge United | Irresistible (full Album Stream)

    Thanks, Steve! I really appreciate. I don't remember the rate to be honest. But if I was doing it for the money I probably picked up the wrong job! HAHAHA Right, it's all done with a Kemper. I mostly use Friedman SS and Vox AC30 handwired profiles from TheAmpFactory. However the sound engineer...

    Rouge United | Irresistible (full Album Stream)

    Absolutely. As an artist I spend more time advertising than creating when it should be the opposite! But labels still except you to be promotion ready. Just so they can put their stamp on you when you did the whole work. That being said I believe it should be the role of media and labels to...

    Rouge United | Irresistible (full Album Stream)

    Thank you, jkdsteve. Yeah, you can't imagine how frustrating this can be. Not only when you worked really hard, spend money on those things, and gave it all to book shows, but when labels and A&R's don't even give a shit about your music. That's the worst. Fortunately we also do it for...

    Rouge United | Irresistible (full Album Stream)

    Hello everyone, The first album of my band Rouge United is now out. We play some female fronted rock. It's melodic, energetic and full of solos. If you dig things like Slash, Halestorm, Green Day, The Used, My Chemical Romance, but with guitar solos in there, you'll dig it! In any case here's...

    Flaxwood Aija + Sinmix Kemper Profiles = Periphery

    Indeed, his profiles sound good. What head do you use combined to your torpedo? Are you satisfied with it? I must say that despite I have nothing wrong to say about the Kemper, I sometimes miss the feel/behavior of a real amp. Combining my Koch Powertone III to the torpedo might be a good...

    Flaxwood Aija + Sinmix Kemper Profiles = Periphery

    Hi guys, Recently did a sound test of my Flaxwood Aija combined to a JCM800 Kemper profile from Sinmix Kemper Profiles on All New Materials. It sounds like this: sxD3EVW1X0M What do you guys think of the sound? PS: Btw here's a small bonus for those who want to learn the solo: HpVhYqtx-kc

    Rouge United first album

    Hail you all! My band Rouge United (http://www.rougeunited.com) started to record its first album. Since we're just a duo (Dutch singer and Belgian guitarist), we worked with session drummer Daniel Cardoso (Anathema drummer) for the drums recording. Here's a preview of one of our songs. Daniel...

    Koch Powertone III - Just what you need for rock

    Well, the title says it all. It's the 50watt version. 2 channels, 2 masters, gain boost and power attenuator. What else you need??? ...yeah, maybe a little reverb would be cool. I just acquired it a three months ago and I must say it's a great amp. I combine it with a Peavy Classic 30 in live...

    Kemper on Andy James solo Competition

    Sorry, man, I made a typo. It's a THC, a German amplification brand. http://www.thc-amps.de/ Nico profiled their "Sunset head". It might not look like it, but it's a great rock sound I must say.
