Merry Christmas! and as it’s the tradition now , here’s a little festive recording.

Gear Used:

Guitar: Fylde Magician -> Rode NT1-A

A little festive recording recorded on the Fylde .

Another post UKNG-NPU ‘record before I forget it’ recording .

I managed to obtain a backing track for this Vai piece but unfortunately it was missing a few bars from the end of the solo, so I had to plug the gap with audio from the original to enable me to play the entire solo, see if you can spot where .

All guitar parts were recorded by yours truly using my Ibanez Jem 77 GMC. Rhythm parts were recorded using the Digitech Whammy pedal set to provide an additional tone a 5th below. All sounds being captured from a miked up Carvin Legacy.

Growly.

After learning this Steve Vai piece for Wigan I decided to make a quick recording of my ‘version’ .

The song was recorded over a backing track with the main guitar being my GMC going through the Carvin Legacy miked up with a Shure SM58, wah courtesy of the fabulous Jim Dunlop 535Q. Miked amp was fed through the Behringer mixer into Cubase SX for slight tweaking.
