Title: "Sweet White Wine" ... basic video *SPLAWN CONTENT
Post by: TwilightOdyssey on January 23, 2006, 01:56:52 AM

I was sitting at the PC, drinking a bottle of Riesling, and tab'ing out my guitar lessons for the week, when I decided to pop up the digital camera and shoot a quick clip of me soloing over a basic backing track I made for one of my students.

The challenge: Since we've only covered the notes on the 4th - 6th strings and the C Major scale, as well as some chord progressions, I limited myself to those notes when cutting the video to see what melodic possibilities are open.

This is 100% improvised, so I apologise in advance for any choppiness in the playing. Also, the vid is dark. Sorry, but metal households aren't very well-lit! The skulls of your enemies can only fit one candle each! :evil:

Gear used ... Blind Guardian T shirt > Gajic Custom guitar > Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat/Trilogy Suite > HBE CPR compressor pedal > Splawn Quick Rod > Rivera 4x12/Hiwatt 4x12

THANX TO DJS194 FOR THE SONG TITLE!!

Is that a Burnt Chrome cover on the C/S bridge ? it`s hard to tell as your right hand covers it. Loved the reverse headstock.

sounds cool. was worth the wait for downloading.

did you buy your Splawn directly from Scott? It's a pity he doesn't have any distributers in the UK.

Thanx. Yes, it's burnt chrome. You can catch a glimpse during the tapping sections.

Yes, I deal with Scott directly, which is what I do for most of my gear.

makes sense since his amps aren't really more expensive than a new Marshall in the US.

I never thought of that- thats a good point! why would anyone buy a stock modern marshall when they can behold the might of Splawn for around about the same money? :P
Nice clip Ben - love the guitar aswell :wink:
