please tell me what you think, by the way that was my Ibanez RG570 :)


personally i played like **** on the vids, but thats the way it is....

[forgottenking2]

I think it sounds pretty decent and you got awesome sound for being just a webcam and your soundcard, sweet guitar.

[JimmyJ]

thanks for the kind words mate :)

i too was impressed with the sound quality, might do this more often, post a couple of my favourite riffs for people to download :)

who ever downloads these feel free to throw them in your kazaa folder. if be stoked to find my vid on the net somewhere :)

[LarryJ]

I was impressed. Cliffs of dover is a killer, it ties my fingers in knots somehow. Again, great video quality, and sound quality.

Where'd you get the backing track?

[hol0point]

hmm. wierd. I wasnt able to get any sound on the vids.. Guess I'll try it from home..

[JimmyJ]

It needs windows media player 9 i think

[chris]

I'm jealous JimmyJ. My RG570 doesn't play that good or maybe it is the difference between players ;) I especially like Cliffs of Dover. Where did you get the backing track?

That must be an older 570 as I noticed it didn't have an AANJ.

[JimmyJ]

funny you mentioned that,

from my learnings i think this RG is a 1988 or 1989 model,

what does the all access neck joint mean?

[JimmyJ]

one last thing, the backing track was sent to me from a user on this forum, let me know if anyone wants a copy :)

[LarryJ]

i do i do!

[forgottenking2]

Same here!!

[chris]

Me too me too!

[metallibeast]

What's up?

Me would like a copy as well

:-)

Cheers

here is another quick vid

round 2 (http://members.dodo.com.au/jjer/warmup.wmv)


just a warmup of mine ;)

[chris]

Alright, enough with the showboating ;) we all know your good. Where's that backing track. I'd like to have that last vid tabbed out too.. there are some nice licks in there. Keep up the good work!

[JimmyJ]

does someone have some webspace i can upload it to? ie a geocities account or ftp?

[MadhatteR]

I like the Ibanez alot!! What pickups, amp, strings and pick do you use?
In case you are curious, I own and treasure and Ibanez RG7620 7-string. I have an Ampeg SS-150 guitar head from '88, D'addario 10-56 XL strings, red Dunlop Jazz IIIs and the dunlop stylus pick, and stock DiMarzio pickups.
Killer Tracks too!!! They are an inspiration to me.

[metaljustice83]

i smell a future article out of this

[JimmyJ]

thanks for the feedback guys,

here are my specs

1988-89 spec Ibanez RG570

Original Edge Trem
GOTOH tuners
Unknown Wizard neck, its about half the width of my ibanez rg450 neck

Original V8 & V7 pickups (i have a paf and an evo dimarzio set that i use to interchange)

my strings are D'Addario 009-042s nickel wound

and that distortion was generated by my korg ax30G multi effects pedal into my peavey bandit transtube amp.

the amp i dont think has much to do with my tone, as i get similar sounds out of any old amp, i think if i could summarize my technique in a few words it would be
"light fingered" and "loose"

i dont fret the strings hard and that allows me to move quickly :)


hope that answered a few, oh by the way my action is set so low that two peices of paper only just fit between the neck and the strings, no fret buzz either :D
