This was my Behringer T0800 overdrive straight into Guitar Rig 2. I just used the Cab sims. The clean rhythm is just the clean guitar signal into a Tweed Cab. It's pickup position two, neck and middle. Trilogy Suite neck, Mother's Milk middle. The lead was the TO800 at maximum drive into a Marshall 4x12 cab with some delay. It was the Trilogy Suite neck.
The mix isn't very good, and neither is the playing. I'm getting a bit more confident with my playing but I still can't play properly yet when the record button is on :roll:. And it sounded clearer when I was playing it than how it came out recorded. A bit more muffled when recorded. Weird.
Guess the influence :).

cool man, it seems the tonelab is good for recording. I might have to get one! Influence Satriani?

hey crisp, i used to have the same problem I couldnt play with the red light on, best way to get over it is get in a band and get gigging twice a week or more, after a few months u'll be getting over the nerves live and u'll be wondering why on earth you were nervous infront of a red light.
Atleast thats what happend to me.
You need to take those beautiful melodys your coming up with and start arranging them into full compositions, dont be afraid of repetition! it's the key to music. next time your about to record just write down on a piece of paper an arrangement for a song that u think will work..
Intro
Verse
Chorus
Verse
Chrous
Solo
Chrous
Outro
^^ Everyones used it man but it works so well.. i hear a lot of talent in that playing, try be more confident dude ur really good.

I agree with JamesH, I have heard of leaving them wanting more but you take it to extremes. Great stuff- t'would make a nice piece if you developed it- the pups sounded great too.

Crisp, I empathise with you mate. You play well there is no doubt about that and your really good. If your in London Afghan and me are trying to hook up for a jam with some backing tracks to start with if your interested. That might help the 'Red light Fever'. James said it all really well. Playing in front of people is hard to start with but you need to put up your 'blinkers' and blank it out and then let yourself pour out of you! Then it all starts to snowball! :D
Keep it up mate! 8)

Cool stuff, you should think about how nice this sounds and not how hard it is to record. Agree with James that some structure would be good, but on the other hand, who cares, ANARCHY :D
A tip: most sequencers can be remote controlled and allow "punching in" into a recording, which basically means pressing the record button during a running playback.
If you'd setup a simple midi remote switch, you could play along to the tick or a backing and while being in the playing flow hit the record button. It's easier to start recording like this as you don't have time to think about the fever while being in the playing flow ...
And for sure, the other suggestions are even better. Normally when I play live, the first 2 or 3 tracks are normally cr@p. The worst thing is that people don't even realise, which means it doesn#t matter how you play anyway :)

I agree with the guys above- sound advice- another thought I have had.Many players I have known over the years tense up when they play-it is almost subconcious.Indeed one guy I knew held his breath during difficult bits and he did not know he was doing it.I am not saying you are doing that but the point I will eventually get to is that learning to relax when playing is a great bit of advice had years ago.Have you noticed how the "greats" make it look so easy-they are relaxed (I am not ignoring artificial chemical assisance here btw). To me, your playing is fine but when you record, you might just take the view that it does not matter if take 1 is no good cos you always have take 4.

There are some relaxing methods my girlfriend uses for concerrts with her flute!! Not sure what they call them though. I can find out. Just deep breathing without rising your shoulders and using your diaphram can help.
