I was attempting to play metal malicia by metallica, and it was way below my standards since it's such a hard song to play and I'm not there yet, but I was surprised when listening to it with headphones that it had a very cool tone which I'm guessing is due to how I put the iphone on top of the amp slightly tilted.
there was a bassline I absolutely loved and since I got a bass 8 months ago I kept attempting it, every single time, today, I noticed that I'm managing to do it, not completely yet, but good enough that it's not absolute fumbling, as usual, I thought of recording it, and the unthinkable happened, I somehow managed to play it through almost completely without getting recording anziety and forgetting how to do it entirely, and it kinda sounds cool, so like the little kid I am I want to spread it everywhere, so here you go.
so I wanted to make a cover of enter sandman for a while, and I also happened to see a video in youtube that explained a process that lots of metal bands do with guitars, having 2 guitar recordings even if playing the same, one panned left and one panned right, it needs to be different recordings, basically, it makes it sound bigger and hevyer, I was curious, so I did both.
it does sound massive alright, though sadly my timing skills are still subpar so you could tell sometimes when both guitars don't match in timing.
I might edit/remaster this with a bass at some point, curious how would a bass feel in such a mix, but my back was crying so I stopped.
recorded through reaper on macos, amplifier used is boss katana 50 mkII, guitar used is esp ltd EC-1000t
so I had a bass, and I had a guitar. I was like, lets try this thing called mixing and covering, kinda, but due to me being terrible at following tempos and metranomes, after 6 hours, you got this abomination, and yes, it's only until before the verse, and sadly I just realized the metranome was apparently also included. LOL. Not sure if I can remove it without rerecording.
used garage band for recording, guitar used is esp ltd snakebyte, bass used is sire P7, amp used is boss katana, recording is through using the usb recorder, asentially using the amp as an audio interface, it kinda, worked.
it's horrible, it sucks. But I'm prowd of it for whatever reason.
so for months I've been trying to understand how does slapping on the bass work, checked a lot of tutorials and asked people, but things never made sense to me, yesterday decided to go to a music store nearby, and the guitarist employee there knows how to slap, I asked him how? He showed me and I can't believe how obvious it was.
my favorite slap bassline is higher ground by the red chilly peppers, so I attempted playing it, since I'm so happy and fuzzy inside, I decided to annoy yall with that news. Lets... Kinda ignore how dead the tone is ok? LOL.
there are 2 parts of this, a bit with different settings, the first is guitar on neck pickup, lots of reverb, gain on clean channel and chorus, second is guitar on middle pickup position, same thing but with a lot of 400ms delay, and not much of gain.
tell me which one you like more, if you like any at all.
so I was messing around with my guitar and came up with a basic riff, it sounds epic to me, though warning there is absolute clumzyness involved, especially in the beginning, I'm still a newb of 5 months so please don't kill me lol.
this audio describes khalil returning home from work to find an annoying fly in his apartment, and he deals with it.
