3 ways to get a "FAT" metal guitar sound.
Hello guys!
It's been a while since the last post. I have been really busy in the studio. So i thought i could talk about some of the problems and solutions i have gone through the last two weeks.
The band i have recorded with is a band called "Bermuda". They play, or should i say we play (i'm only a stand-in guitarist), melodic death metal, and which of course needs a FAT rythm guitar sound. Problems often occures when recording the guitars because of different reasons. So here comes some tips from the coach :) This is for you who dub the rythm guitars at least two times, which i think most of you do?
1. Try to use different guitars when recording. If you only use one guitar, it can sound pretty weird because that your two(or more) rythm guitars sounds to equal.
2. Also try using two amps, if you have two great amps of course! This is because of the same reason as above.
3. Be sure that you tune in the same way all the time. Believe it or not, but there are at least two ways of tuning the guitar. You can tune while you hitting the string as hard as you doing while playing the riffs in the song, or you can tune the guitar when the string has rung for a little while. You will probably have to swap between theese two ways of tuning depending on what kind of things you are playing. So in other words.....
Tuning sucks :( haha!
The first time this problem accured for me was when recording guitar with my other band Inferior, and i couldn't understand why it sounded out of tune, but in the end I understod that it was the two ways of tuning problem.

A masterpiece!
Hello guys!
Anyone here listening to Bon Jovi? I'm a big fan of Richie Sambora (guitarist of Bon Jovi), and if you havn't heard that guy play guitar, i suggest you to CLICK HERE to listen to some Sambora solos!
I just had to post you this video of Jon and Richie playing "Livin on a prayer" and "Wanted dead or alive" , live, and acoustic. This videos incorporates both great singing and great performance, and of course really great guitarplaying! So this 6:52 minutes long video is definitely worth watching!

New guitarist to check out!
Hello dudes!
Guitarist for today is Alex Skolnick. Alex Skolnick has, since the first note i heard him played, been a BIG inspiration to me. The first notes i heard from him was actually The intro to "Eerie Inhabitants" by Testament, the metal band Alex plays in. I have made a cover of that intro. Its like 3 years ago though, so i probably play it better today:) Anyway, here it is.
Why i got so stuck with him is maybe because, like i heard someone else said. "His songs are like a song within a song with their own movements and sections". He really builds his solos up in such a awsome way. Also nowdays, he plays both Thrashmetal and Jazz, just like me:)
So here is a video with him in Testament, and one with his jazz trio. The Testament song is "Electric Crown" wich features one of my favorite solos with Alex, the solo kicks of at 3:04.
The Alex Skolnick trio song is Western Sabbath Stomp.

Hello!
Im gonna give you a guitarist tip. It's Mr. Guthrie Govan, a completely guitar genius! His technique, bends, vibrato, note choice, everything is perfect! So if you havn't checked out this guy. Go and do it right away! Guthrie also writes columns in guitar magz, like Guitar Techniques, a mag i subscribe to.
This is a version of him playing a song called Fives:
You can also check him out at: http://www.guthriegovan.co.uk/
And if you are lucky enough and living in the U.K, you can go and see him do clinics and stuff.
I know that there are at least one going on pretty soon at Bailbrook, Bath. 17&18 oct. It's with Guthrie and Jason Sidwell.
