Neck shootout part 3: Slowhand/Trilogy/Irish Tour

[Antag]

Hi All, was messing around this morning trying to find a lead tone for neck single coils.  After recording a Slowhand clip I decided to do some "shootout" clips again for a laugh.  It was all done in one take & yes it's very scr@ppy (I need to practice those string-skipping arpeggios a LOT more & found myself racing the click track in places).

Unlike my earlier neck shootout, I was trying not to "swamp" the character of the single coils in a wall of mega-filth so recorded the lead on Ch3 with the gain down.  I'm not sure it really worked - beyond the first few bars of clean playing you can't really tell much difference, but having gone to the trouble I'll post it anyway - see what you think...

Guitars:
Jackson SL3 (Slowhand neck)
Charvel 550XL (Trilogy neck)
Warmoth korina strat (Irish Tour neck)
FX:  MXR M134 Chorus (clean), MXR Phase 90  (end chord)
Amp: Engl Savage 120 (ch 1 & 3), Engl 4x12 (Celestion Classic Lead 80)
Mic/Recording: Shure SM57, Presonus Bluetube DP, Fostex MR16HD

Enjoy :)

i love your shootouts antag :)

the trilogy is surprisingly bright isn't it! slowhand is broadly similar sounding to mine, but of course we have a vastly different rig.

as you say - unless you listen carefully you can't tell too many differences. but i think you can make some useful judgements. i like the compression of that trilogy and the IT is really raunchy sounding :)

OK, I re-recorded the Slowhand a few days ago but did the lead on Ch4 instead (i.e. more gain).  IMO it sounds a lot better.  If there's any interest I may re-do the others this way too...

Enjoy :)
