GMC Forum _ Uploads _ First Take On Surfing With The Alien.

Okay here it is. Till the crazy pick tapping.

I dont have a wah, nor crazy humbuckers. No sqeals too, will work on that. I know this take is pretty horrible, well. Just listen. After 37 seconds its just the backing track playing. Finally, it's here;) Now , laugh your asses off!!!!!!!

This one only does 2/3. Bt that's enough, I didn't play that much anyway!

That was a very good take Jesse well done. The only bits I would criticise are the bits with harmonics and whammy bars. There is a bit in the second section (don't know when cos im using quicktime), where there should be a natural harmonic on the 5th fret of the G string, and I think, the 5th fret of the B string as well. Also on the last note you played Satch gives his whammy bar a bit of a shake and you don't. Of course if you don't have a whammy bar then ignore me but your guitar sounds like a strat and so i think you do. Apart from that it was very good.

That`s was a great take Jesse! Keep the good work and you nail it! haha and how Matt mentioned it does sound like a strat (actually i think it is) more agressive sound will be better (vibrato includes here too), but anyways you did really great!!

Nice work Jesse. The whammy bar harmonic part this is what I do:
Hold the bar lightly with my 3rd,4th and 5th finger LH and dive after hitting an artificial harmonic on the C (5 fret G string). Using AH as opposed to natural gives that Satch squeal. I also do a rake before hitting the note.
Also, just to add a bit of agression, when you hit the B flats on the second repeat of the phrase - add a little 1/4 bend
Great take!

Sounds pretty cool Jesse, you rock!

Posted by: Jesse Apr 17 2009, 06:40 AM

Thank's! Yeah this was a strat... without whammy!:D
Thank's for the cool advices as well, I'm going to try and play it today with harmonics and whammy:D
I'm going to buy an ibanez spring 2010 or something:D

Jesse I just heard it. All the advices above apply, I would just add that you apply wider vibrato when you play here.
Keep up the good work man !

Posted by: kjutte Apr 19 2009, 12:15 PM

Pretty good man, but you need to work on your feeling.
Especially vibrato.

Posted by: Jesse Apr 19 2009, 12:46 PM

Nothing wrong with the feeling, just the vibrato:D

Posted by: kaznie_NL Apr 19 2009, 12:55 PM
