Title: My first decent Rebel Yell clip
Post by: _tom_ on July 28, 2007, 08:18:51 PM
I've had this Rebel Yell for ages but never posted any good clips of it other than a quick one when I first got it. Another HC backing track jam thing -

The RY is in a Charvel Model 1C (Basswood body, maple neck). Playing is a bit sloppy but I really like the tone.

Very nice!  Do you have a RY set or just bridge?  What are your p'up heights?  Cheers! 8)

Steve, its just a bridge RY in a basswood Charvel. I dont know about the pickup height, I can check tomorrow or later if youd like. Its not that close, it got too muddy and fuzzy when I had it really close. I'm actually going to sell the Charvel if anyones interested, good for lead playing but I play rhythm more and prefer Les Pauls really :P

Cheers for the comments :)

How old are you _tom_?

With that feeling and playing ability of yours, it would be a waste if you would _not pursue a career in music.

I mean I am an old fart (like many others here hahaha) but for you I think you could still make the right decision now.

Have you ever considered this?

I'm 18 (19 at the end of November), just off to uni on Saturday to do a Media Production BSc course which may open up some doors :D I have considered trying to get into music but thought that theres loads more talented players who can probably read music, play consistently good and know more theory than me (none of which I'm that good at). Also, I bet that well paid ones are few and far between :( Thanks for the compliment though :D

gwem, I used the Laney for this clip :)

Tasty playing.
Nice to hear a rock-pup with so much "sing" to it.

These are the kind of things a good coach can help you with, but not talent, feel or tone, all of which you have plenty

 :wink:

all the stuff hunter says is very wise. but i think the most important thing, of course is that you have such an obvious passion for music. hold on to that!

good luck with the course :)

Wow Tom, nice phrasing! That was great, lovely tone too!

You definitely have a lot of natural ability. Even if you were in a pro gigging band touring around the country it's far better than a 9-5, go for it Tom!

Cheers Johnny. I'd love to tour the country but as I dont even have a proper band its not a possibility for a while :lol: I'd like to do session work but I suppose opportunities for good jobs are few and far between.

btw I recorded another HC jam clip with my LP with Mules a few weeks ago if anyones interested - http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=493678&songID=5756940

I could imagine you doing session work, Tom.
All you gotta do is find a music teacher, he will teach you all the theory you need to be a session musician, and you can play well in pretty much every style of music which is a bonus, improvise well etc.
One thing i will say and what my College tutor said to me (who is a session guitarist himself) is if you don't know the theory you are bollocks in the session work :lol:

I would have thought session work would be hard to get whoever you are.
Anyway you have time on your side because of your age to get a good band together.
Honestly Tom, since we've all been posting our clips in here, yours have really gone up in terms of quality playing!  :D

I could probably explain to you the basic theory set that every guitarist should know and how to apply it if you like.

With a whiteboard I might be able to explain how to read music too.  I have the know-how but I don't practice it much so I'm just not very good at sightreading other than guitar tabs.

Remember as hunter said, reading music isn't necessarily a necessity, and a formal theory background isn't either (but you still will have to understand the basic ideas whether you know you know it or not).

If you never practice using your knowlege then it is useless, if you do learn music theory, make sure you have the best teacher, it's improtant to give yourself the best opportunities in life! I never used to believe I was good enough either, but 2 years later I had achieved Grade 8 music theory and a HND in Popular Music all at 19, with tendonitis. You can achieve anything! go for it Tom.
