    Fermi Paradox Solo Tone - Fractal Axe FX III

    ^^^ That ^^^ Tone is for the PLAYER. It's there to inspire you to channel your muse and FEEL the best, as a player and musician. That's when the magic happens. Lots of folks shit all over Steve Vai's tone - but that's what makes Steve feel inspired to play how he plays. Same for Paul Gilbert -...

    Fermi Paradox Solo Tone - Fractal Axe FX III

    IF you go thru this video where I demoed the Cab Pack when it came out, you should be able to see the settings I had going on my AxeFX.

    Fermi Paradox Solo Tone - Fractal Axe FX III

    Just listened to the original and to Hector's cover, and I gotta say, TONE-wise, Hector's not too close to Syn's tone, but it sounds fantastic because Hector's spent a LOT of time learning how to physically play like Syn. To me, that's why it sounds so good. Listening to the original, it...

    Making some noise

    Is it "wrong?" No, of course not. Everyone's journey is their own. However, learning cover songs is a good way to learn common song structures and things that work, and to help you understand WHY they work.

    Feel like I'm losing my love of guitar.

    I've had more ups and downs than I can remember. There were times I took years off (I regret that - I lost a lot until I realized I didn't want to be someone who "used to play guitar"), but like all good and reliable friends, your guitar will be there for you when you're ready for it again.

    What are you currently listening to?

    The music is cool. The arrangement feels pretty out there, but in a good way. But.. What the fuck is Axl doing?? I... No...

    I feel demotivated playing the guitar

    I considered Steve, but I think he faces more pressure to "be like (the public's perception of) Steve Vai" so he might not have QUITE as much artistic freedom as Paul. Paul decided he wanted to learn slide, and promptly had all his guitars fitted with slide magnets and his latest album has more...

    I feel demotivated playing the guitar

    Paul Gilbert. For the last maybe 20 years?

    I feel demotivated playing the guitar

    All that studying and then working is going to DEMAND downtime, for fun and sanity. You'll most likely regret becoming someone who "used to play guitar." I almost did, and then I got going again about 11-12 years ago.

    Captain Ed's AOTM July - Boston

    I agree. Don't Look Back, aside from the title track, is remarkably forgettable.

    Dammit, Am I copying someone with this riff?

    Nothing naughty about it. All pop music is doing something familiar in a slightly new-ish way.

    Syn's #AOTM July

    Oh GOD, Sting - WHAT A SONGWRITER. Gonna give this a solid listen!

    Dammit, Am I copying someone with this riff?

    And BOTH of those fuckers stole that shit from the chorus of the first song I ever wrote, AND I WROTE IT BEFORE THEM. Fuckin thieves. Where's my royalties, bitches?

    Dammit, Am I copying someone with this riff?

    You're arpeggiating standard chords. It's gonna sound kinda like a LOT of things without actually BEING them. It's okay!

    Comment by 'Ed Seith' in media 'song2'

    Definitely some interesting promise here. I like the off-time syncopation early on in the main motif.
