Hey Todd,

time to get back to my missions!

Here is my take for Mission 7, actually two takes at 100 bpm.



Won't make it to the chat tonight, my excuse is Edguy...and Deep Purple

Prepare your Body and Mind!!! Time for your MISSION 7 DEBRIEF SOLDIER!


After watching this several time I have to first say..... I LOVE THAT TONE!!!! It sounds like one of my very own but with perhaps a tweak? Nice Gain, makes the pick strikes stand out, nice!!!

As for the playing. Soldier.......

....dramatic pause....

!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEGA KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well fought Soldier! It's good to see you back in the fight!!!


MEDAL OF HONOR
1.)Clean Strikes
2.)Bonus points for tone
3.)Assassin Grade Hand Synch
4.)Aggressive Style!

Thanks Todd!

It actually is your tone, the lesson 137 lead tone. No tweaking was done...

I thought it sounded familiar It really works well on your recording!! I usually set the gates way high so you may need to adjust them down a bit as they sound like they may be cutting off some of your dynamics. I think I have two stomp gates on each patch try cutting both off and using the gate knob under the tuner instead. Even with that, still sounds very spiff

Hey Todd,

here is my take for Mission 8!

I used your Orange preset for TH1

Well fought Soldier!!! But given that you are one of our "Old Boys" of long standing in our SHRED SATURDAY sessions, I"m gonna need to see this DOUBLE PICKED!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't have to be fast, just precise. I know Double Picking is hard, and I might not ask anyone else to do it on Mission 8, but your not just anybody Soldier, your YOU!!! Now get in there!!!


Todd

I knew I forgot something!

Here is my double picked take now:

I admire your determination Soldier!!!!! Let's review!!!

After reviewing your BATTLE LOG, I"ve come to a decision..... Soldier.......





MEDAL OF HONOR
1.)Good Clean Strikes
2.)Right hand planted firm
3.)Assassin Grade Hand Synch
4.)Spiff sense of time/rythm

Here is the video for mission 11:

WOW!!!!! NICE!!!!! KILLLLLLED IT!!!!!!!

Soldier this is impressive. First up, great precision and palm mute while alternate picking!!! I harp on that quite a bit and for good reason. It's really important Lastly, your TONE is killer (If you made that patch by your lonesome, you've got it licked!!!!)

Let's Debrief...

1.)Planted right hand, Great mute!
2.)Clean precise alternate picking
3.)DOUBLES!!!!!

BONUS POINTS: Great Pinky Work!!!

CONGRATULATIONS SOLDIER!!! YOU JUST LEVELED UP!!!

Thanks Todd!

I actually used the same tone as for my collab solo, which is the lesson 205 lead tone with delay you created for TH1

NICE!!! Did you tweak it? Sounds really good. Are you using anything on the front end to boost it? Like a pedal overdrive or something? I usually have to drive it with a preamp to get that kind of gain out it. Sounded spiff on the solo too!! Seems to work well with whatever pickups your using.

Todd

I simply plug my guitar into the Alesis iO2, which is connected to my PC via USB.
The gain nob on the Alesis is up on 50%, that's all.
No tweaking or anything else was done in TH1

Well cool!! Having tweakable input gain is a wonderful thing. That patch is working out!

I'm back at the Ponyhof!

Welcome back to the fight Soldier!!! Great to see you haven't lost any form!

Let's Debrief...

MEDAL OF HONOR
1.)Solid Right Hand Work, Firm Mute!
2.)Clean Alternate Picking

CONGRATULATIONS SOLDIER!!! YOU JUST LEVELED UP!!!
