Title: VH11 Tom Foolery
Post by: AS on October 18, 2005, 10:41:22 PM: In a moment of weakness I may have succumbed to a bit of the 'old neo classical'. All done on a PRS with a VH11 in the bridge. Now, if only HJM would deliver my other VH11 I could complete my Yngwie fixation and switch to the neck pickup occasionally

Post by: AS on October 19, 2005, 09:27:08 AM: It's done through a combination of having way too much time on your hands, no taste and an unhealthy fascination with Sweden.

Back on topic,what was the clip recorded on/with?Cheers.
Title: VH11 Tom Foolery
Post by: AS on October 19, 2005, 02:56:11 PM: Clip was recorded using a 1989 PRS Custom 24 with a VH11 in the bridge position. That then went straight into a Pod XT Pro (I'm far too lazy to use an amp). For recording I use a MOTU 896HD and Logic Pro 7. Hope that helps

Post by: Johnny Mac on October 19, 2005, 05:20:44 PM: Are those licks all based on harmonic minor scales?
Title: VH11 Tom Foolery
Post by: _tom_ on October 19, 2005, 06:22:46 PM: holy cr@p great playing! Any chance you could do some more crunchy rhythm stuff? I think for my next guitar I may get a VH2 after hearing this and Bainzys clips!

It's the only scale AS knows :wink: :lol:

(Just to fill you guys in, we went to college together a few years back.....we'd do crazy things like The Attitude Song and Vinnie Moore tunes for recitals......and I had to out up with sharing a house with him for a year......his PRS is very nice too! - so hence lots of leg pulling...and I won't shave until he learns to play with taste...)

Yup. I was just doing the pun thing on the hoof. Oh cr*p I did it again. It's all a load of bull isn't it.

But really. I'll stop now ;)
Title: VH11 Tom Foolery
Post by: AS on October 20, 2005, 12:14:09 AM: No danger of either of those two things happening then. We should do some more of the instrumental stuff at some point, maybe even branch out into a little jazz? To be fair only a couple of bits are based around Harmonic Minor. The rest is mainly diatonic arpeggios and major scales. If any one's interested let me know and I'll post a tab for it.

Post by: lepersmeesa on October 21, 2005, 12:59:25 AM: Very nice smooth sweeping. Excellent tone.

You want to share some POD XT tones? I have made quite a few, found i make nicer cleans then rhythms.

Good stuff once again.
Title: VH11 Tom Foolery
Post by: AS on October 21, 2005, 10:03:09 AM: I'd be up for that. What sort of sounds are you after or do you want the complete set off the XT. Cheers
Title: VH11 Tom Foolery
Post by: lepersmeesa on October 21, 2005, 11:35:09 AM: Em, Well maybe if you send me all the ones you have done, and ill do the same.

PM me for my email.

Cheers
