Here's a version of the Hotel California main solo. All the harmonies are in realtime using the Custom scales in the pitch block. I used 6 different scales in 4 presets. The arpeggios at the end are utilizing the x/y of two presets. The first preset in the solo is using the phaser and 1 harmony. You can switch these a million different ways using miss and the MFC101. I set my MFC basically for default settings except I programmed my Trem I/A as the Pitch X/Y. So if you watch the video it shows where to do the changes. I was able to easily do the changes with the foot controller however because it is hard enough to make a video and play I decided to use Logic to do all the changes (X/Y, program changes and bypass/on states) for me.

Of course it's not perfect. I didn't even listen to the originals while programming the custom scales(in the Global Menu) so there are bound to be mistakes. No need to tell me my intervals are incorrect. I am incorrect a lot, just ask my wife

Have fun with it...it's a blast! Presets are below.



Custom Scale 1 (First 2 arpeggios at end of solo)
A#= -4
B= -5
C#= -3
D= -3
E= -3
F#= -4

Custom Scale 2 (Arpeggio 3 and 4 at end of solo)
E= -3
C#= -4
A= -5

Custom Scale 3 (Arpeggio 5 and 6 at end of solo)
D= -3
B= -4
G= -3
D= -3

F#= -4

Custom Scale 4 (Arpeggio 7 and 8 at end of solo)
B= -4
G= -3
E= -3
C#= -3
A#= -4

Custom Scale 5 (first harmony lick in solo)
F= -4(part of bend)
F#= -4
E= -3
D= -3
A= -3
A#= -2 (bend)

Custom Scale 6 (last harmony before Arpeggios)

All others =-3. I’m not sure which notes matter but set it up like this J

Sounds great. Digging the tone.
The harmony wasn't as pronounced as I thought they would be.
Great stuff! :thumbsup:

I probably should have put the harmonies more up front.

Loved it Mark. Honestly, I was just thinking to myself today that I hoped you would be posting a new video sometime soon. Wish granted!

I say it every time and once again Mark, awesome job. Love your video's!! Who needs a second guitar player when you've got the Axe?!?!
 
Mark,

I'm another one who gets a little cranky if it's been awhile since your last video. Hahaha. Excellent job as always!
 
Damn that is awesome! Great plug for the Axe Fx......not that it needs one at this point. Great playing as always.

Outstanding work young man!! Thanks for flying the MIDI banner forever high and proud!!
 
Very cool Mark as always. I love using Logic to do patch changes for me when playing over backing tracks at home. Hassle free playing without having to step on shit!!

Didn't you say there was a video coming that someone filmed of you demoing a Friedman? A follow up to the Phil X one?

Thanks for the patches!!
 
I'd like to hear the harmony up front. Thats a lot of tweaking not to hear it!
 
that sounded pretty darn good. I'd love to be able to do the Trooper or Black Star harmonies live ;)
