Hi guys - it's been a while since I posted, but it's been a busy year so far.....anyway, this is a cover of "Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow" by Bullet for my Valentine. It's a rough mix that I just finished recording.
I used a backing track from Total Guitar Magazine - I added all guitar parts, including the 2nd guitar which is partially on the backing track.
This was a hard song for me because this is not a style of music I usually play - I never heard of the band until I read the magazine and heard the track, but thought the harmonized guitar parts were pretty cool.
For those that know the song, I did wimp out on the solo - can't do the tapping stuff, so I changed it.......
Any comments are welcome - advise on the playing, tone, mixing, etc. all appreciated...I used my Ibanez Artist going directly into a GT-6 and my computer using Sonar....
I can only say, VERY GOOD indeed.
As I don´t know the original song I cant hear any flaws...
Tanglewood TW28STE (Shadow P7 EQ) acoustic

On Ten Years Gone, what is that second chord you play right before the distorted riff? Right after the A...some kind of D I assume?
That's a diminished seventh chord. You could call it by any of the notes in it, but I think most folks would think of it as a Cdim7 or, in this case, Adim7. Very cool chord.
Peace
David,
You're right, you're not the guy, you're the man! :D 8)
That rocked!! Too cool! 8) 8)
Hey, I listened to Ten Years Gone also, (one of my favorite songs), and I only have one complaint: it's too short! Good job there too. :D
I like your tone. I have a GT-6 also, but have to mic my amp, as I can't get my computer to record through the line in on my sound card.
Great job! Hope to hear more soon. :D

I've been playing that song with a D in that place and it never sounded quite right. Much better now, thanks.
Like dntalb said, you rocked that solo.
