Holy Diver solo over clean (bit of Irish Tour too)
« on: January 05, 2007, 08:35:28 PM »
Just recorded a section of one of my songs using mainly Holy Diver (rather than just about every BKP I own :lol:).

There are several production/playing nasties, not least the terribly scr@ppy rendition of the solo itself.  Part of the reason I started messing around with this was that I was never happy with the solo (it was a theoretical idea in my head that I've never been able to make the timing work or play exactly the same twice running).   I wanted to try recording it as a clean solo, so I knocked up a backing track & posted my first attempt at it here  - over the last week or so I've tried all sorts of things & just couldn't get it to work for me.  So here is a recording of the original solo - & an HD lead demo that might hopefully be helpful in making someone choose the mighty Holy Diver :D

The cleans are a Holy Diver neck & an Irish Tour mid + neck, then an HD neck & an IT neck, then HD bridge (x3 :twisted:) + IT middle.  The leads are HD bridge all the way.

Guitars: Jackson RR1T (HD set) & Warmoth korina strat (HD/IT hss set)
Amp: Mesa Rect-o-verb 50w head, Mesa 2x12" cab (V30)
FX: TC Electronic G-Major (reverb/delay), MXR M134 (chorus)
Mic: Sennheiser E906

Enjoy :)

Wow. I think I know what pickups I'm getting for my strat (whenever I sort out the intonation problems)! Sounded perfect, much better than your older clips which sounded a bit muddier/dark to me. The cleans were really nice aswell, and people say V30s are only good for high gain?!  

Could you do a clip of some 80s hard rock/metal style stuff (think Van Halen, Whitesnake, Dio etc) of the HD bridge just doing some chords and stuff? Thanks

Wow, that nails the Justice/Black album Metallica lead tones perfectly. WOW. So much for the $%&#ing Miracle Man.

That sounds amazing. Very cool tone, the Holy Diver never fails to just amaze me.

Outstanding clips! It seems the Holy Diver really cuts through for leads. My initial assumption was that it *may* lack top end, but that's clearly not the case!

You should make this into a proper instrumental song, or a proper song with vocals, the tones and music on this are exquisite!!
