New Clip: Pull Me Under - Dream Theater (Mark IV)

[gibson5413]

I decided to give this one a shot. Please forgive the sloppy playing (on the leads in particular). I don't have a keyboard so I had to wing the keys on my guitar. I didn't have time to perfect the playing or the track volumes. I just thought I would share the clip since I'm still in the process of learning the whole song (that and my wife told me to shut it down).

What do you think? I know I used more gain the original but I wasn't necessarily going for the original tone.

as always, the thickness in your tones makes me think there's hope for the rest of us. You must have the perfect mic position.

Lead tone was a little loud though.

I agree...that sounds like perfect mic position.

Track is pretty good though...I can't even distinguish from the original unless I really pay attention.

 

[ytse_jam]

the tone is really close to the original. Good clip!

I will say that I have found the perfect mic placement. Very happy in that regard.

Thanks for listening.

I ;ve got the Shure 57 on axis pointed directly at center of the speaker cone. The Sennheiser e609 is angled midway between the center and edge of the cone. I'll take pictures soon. BTW, the cab is loaded with Celestion V30s.
