An attempt at Crazy Train.

[bigheadood]

Ibanez rg321 with CC in bridge thru a PODxt, into garageband.

Backing track from http://www.guitarbt.com

This is three guitar tracks. Left and right mono tracks and one center stereo track. Center track includes all lead guitar, and was done in one take.
Some of the lead parts are messed up, I haven't played that song in years.

All comments or critiques are welcome.

So far so good for me man, great tone! Rig?? Everything sounded smooth and didnt muddy up!! YES!!! Also, your fills show your style come through which is really cool.

Overall, AMAZING tone, awsome smooth playing as well man, not many people can do Crazy train without making me cringe...you managed to do it! You're goign to have to post more clips my friend!

[Christobevii3]

Where do i get the guitar player cheat code where i become amazing at??? Good lord is that good

[DankStar]

that was cool. you pretty much nailed the solo!

[ElUnoAstuto]

Mmm, maybe I'm the only one who hears it, but if the fills are so fluid, why cover them up with all the flange? Not trying to be a prick, but it's a little heavy...

[GuitarStv]

That sounds great man . . . I like your 'dark blues' song too . . .

[bigheadood]

Thanks everyone.

There is no flange. a little bit of chorus to cut through the hi hat, and some verb. Did I over-do it on the chorus?

[Kindred_Spirits]

Sweet man, sounds great. Very tight riffing, and the tone is very appropriate for the song. Great job.

[Metalman_666]

Wow.... sweet tone! Again your playing kicks ass! I think the fills are fine with the effects. Keep up the good work, and don't forget to post more clips.

[ex-250]

kickass job

[Adam]

Sounds really good man!

[MichaelMadeja]

woah what did you use to connect this to your mac?

[bigheadood]

Thanks guys..
I used a PODxt and a USB cable.
The line6 website has the drivers, free download.
I think they only work for OSx 10.3 or better.

[DonLduk]

wow. i always enjoy listening to your works.

This time you nailed it again. Great tone.

[carpfishy]

I wish I had tone like yours. Hellacious job bro.

[Manachild]

thats some quality playing there

[tone4days]

that's really smokin' friend ... damn, i am so blown away by the talent level on this board sometimes .... that playing was fast and clean and really locked ... totally impressed
rock on!

Thanks everyone.
Your comments are very appreciated.
Now that I'm beginning to get the hang of recording guitar,
my next major task will be to record vocals.

I'm not sure I want to hear me sing though.
but, with a decent microphone, I can record my Peavey ultra 212
instead of the PODxt. It sounds much better.

Thanks for listening

Very cool!! I really enjoy it. The only mionor thing I hear is that your rhythm guitar is a tad behind the beat. Not off the beat, mind you. Randy really attacked his Rhythm, which gives the tune a bit more 'ooomph'.

Really fun track!!

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Man that was smooth
Great and flowing....post more.
