I remember reading a while ago a few people asking wether the Mules do a Slash tone well so I decided to record me doing a bit of Sweet Child O Mine. The chorus bits were on the bridge Mule, and the rest was neck Mule. Tone isnt an exact likeness but its kinda close to my ears, maybe A2 version would be closer for the distinctive tone, maybe more gain aswell? .. anyway I rambled, heres the damn clip :P
Oh yeah and it was the same old Epi LP into V-Amp 2 set on JCM800 patch (what else?! :)).
-
no solo?????
:D:D
-
I cant do the main one, partly because I'm lazy, partly because I find it hard to remember how long solos go (I lose track), and partly because I'm not good enough :D
-
Nice one Tom! Sounds very good! :D
-
really?? dunno why but that solo always stuck really easy, never found it hard.... weird that, considering how shite i am otherwise
-
Yeah when I think about it, its only the fast widdly wah bit thats actually difficult to play, but I find learning long solos that are recognizable hard to learn note for note or whatever.

Sweet tone 8)

that bit on its own is quite simple, but once i start adding the wah i usually get confused

Do you find learning solos note for note takes the feel out of it? I.E 'cos it was someone elses solo? I was chatting to my mate who plays in a big Zepp Tribute about this and he said just keep some of it in that context and go off on one in other parts but keep the vibe, groove, feel ect going to make it all fit.

i do that if i can't be bothered to learn the hard version, but then i start bringing in other solos i know, and then i end up playing a different song, which completely screws up the entire effort

No discipline see! :wink: :lol:

Yeah I suppose so, thats kinda what I do (the thing your mate told you).

Definately agree with your mate Johnny-use the solo by all means as a basis or guide but put your own stamp on it. If you think about it, I doubt whether Jimmy page would play any solo exactly the same- even if the differences are small- rock music ought to be about energy/life/feel/emotion and these are variables. Thems me thoughts.
-
hallelujah
praise the lord .... or Jimmy Page, whichever is more appropriate :D

Just used him as an example CJ- I don't know enough about Slash y'see. Exceptions to my argument would probably be Hank Marvin or that geezer out of Queen who, so I am told, likes to work his solos out in advance- not that I am criticising- just horses for courses. But lets not hijack Toms post.

I had a mate called Paul who had hair like that geezer in Queen. We used to call him Brian for some reason!
On topic-ish Yeah! We're all singing form the same hymn sheet! It's much better that way but in the Paul look alikes defence he said that if your head comes up with things instead of your fingers and your fingers find the notes from your head, then it......well it sounds like Queen!! :lol: Well it's a composition. Riffs is good for that approach.
Sorry Tom!
Back on topic. Slash is cool! He has great feel too. I'd like to analyse his style a bit more but no time really.
-
When I hear this I realise I've made the right choice by getting the mule, but I will not even hear it until tommorow! as James Brown says 'take it to the bridge' lol
I would like to hear the whole song though, but it's a really nice sound considering your setup and if it sounds that good through that, just imagine how it would sound through the real thing! wow :D
I want a conford harlequin :cry:
I recon slash should've stook with slash's snakepit, but that's life, and he's old and I'm young. :P
what pickups did you use for all the seperate tracks? I hear a lot of guitar layers going on there. I'm getting a mule in the bridge fitted into my axe tommorow.
-
Ah, some of the guitars were included in the backing. I just did the distorted chorus chords, lead, and clean verse bit with a bit of chorus. It does indeed sound better through a real amp cranked :D
