Sounds great Mark .really awesome
Listening to some of the other clips from 3.0 to and its pretty noticeable difference now
there was one waltz dry Jcm800 lead and it was pretty damn realstic
This is a killer tone for Hurricane and you totally nailed it love the Scorps .they better come to Ottawa before they retire in 2012


Cheers!!!
 
No one will say it? Alright...too much gain, :lol: :LOL:

J/K I thought it was great. There's no way I'd know it wasn't the original if I didn't double check it. Great job!

I use Elixir 9-42's A=440hz
I used 10-52's for a long time. They eventually gave me a bad case of tennis elbow, so I dropped down to the 9-42's....no more pain :)

the ascending sliding bends at :48 are more like 32nd note triplets i think, except doubling the value of the first note you are sliding on("one-a two&a, two-a two&a, three-a three&a, 4-a four&a...); i think you're missing the "&" of the second triplet of each position...

and little octave lick you do at :58 is ever so slightly off from the original; i think it ends on the higher octave note in that phrase, which places your fingers in the right position to complete the ascending run immediately after differently, but big whoop--sounds like matthias live to me and a fine job!


my favorites of that era were the blackout solo....that wide pinky stretch pentatonic lick after the chuck berry lick taught me a lot about hammering/puling off clean and how picked notes and unpicked notes sound radically different...and the no one like you solo.

and the glissando intro to big city nights...what a radically metallic razor tone! i could never figure out how he got that tone!

I figured I was doing both those parts slightly off :)...just didn't sound perfect to me. I did the part at :48 better before and after the video..lol (of course). The octave thing at :58 I just couldn't hear it right no matter how much I slowed it down, very frustrating. I was too stubborn to check the web for the correct way, but I will now hehe.

Thanks dude!!

like i said ultimately it doesn't matter when you are that close and your tone is that killer--you have way more discipline than i do when it comes to figuring out songs/solos. i learned from many solos just for the sake of assimilating the most difficult parts, like learning a tongue twister or something, and sorta disregarded the parts i thought were simpler. if i could stick "the lick" my work was done LOL. the only players i ever really tried hard to nail the whole solo note for note on routinely was eddie, yngwie, randy, and gary, because for some reason many of their solos were more like mini compositions, instead of tricky licks with simple single note lines gluing them together.
sykes, viv, matthias, meniketti, schon, nuno had serious moments too, and all the aforementioned had chops i just could never pull off technically.

wish i could learn holdsworth, gambale, lane, guthrie, howe-esque lines but alas i'm not even remotely close to those scary dudes.
 
and now listening to that slidy part again i think you are right on how you played it but his delay is set to kinda suggest an additional note i thought i was hearing...my bad you're good! :D
that was always one of the harder parts about breaking down solos by eddie.. the echoplex threw in "ghost" notes here and there---
 
Thanks a million for taking the time to comment guys!!!!
