I've known part I of this epic ages ago, but today I decided to start practicing it again and wanted to record my progress. Here's what I have so far:



It's still sloppy and there are lots to improve, but that will come in the next video I put up, I think smile.gif

Awesome project mate! This is one of my favorite songs by DT, and I've always wanted to play it but couldn't because of the use of a 7th string guitar. I would get one just to play this song. I'll be following your progress here. smile.gif

Been working a bit on the first verse today. It's proving a real pain in the arse. I'm gonna have nightmares about 3/4s and 9/8s...

Very spiff!!!! There is always room to improve but it looks like you've got a good handle on this one!

Hi Cael, great to see you progressing with this one!

What are you using to record your guitar? The camera's mic? If not, I think that you tone needs some tweaks, it's not warm in both rhythm and solo sections, it's more like a "mosquito" style distortion. If you are recording by line, this is serious, but if you are using your camera mic, I even think that maybe some EQ tweak would be a good idea.

About your playing, you have most of this part mastered. However you should take care of the riffs/licks between 1:45 and 2:21, where the faster palm muted group of notes are not sound smoother. I think that the problem are the sextuplets but it's related to your stamina.

I also noted that you tend to play the unison at 2:37 a bit "hurried" and that the final melodies could sound tighter, and the vibrato more connected with the backing. I feel that your vibrato is a bit nervous there, while the melody is beautiful.

I hope that the feedback helps, keep on rocking!

Thanks for listening and for the advice, Gabriel smile.gif I'll take it with me for my next take.

The tone is actually from my soundcard. I just downloaded a tone called Petrucci 1992 to my BIAS and used that. Any suggestions what exactly I could tweak?

I've tweaked my tone a little bit, and here are two takes, one with single and one with double tracking:

[attachment=42960:A_Change...y_3_test.mp3]
[attachment=42961:A_Change..._tracked.mp3]

Are they better tone wise?

EDIT: Don't mind the playing too much, I messed up a few times. Hadn't warmed up before playing smile.gif

yes, this ones are better! I would try with different mic positions to see if the EQ becomes even warmer. By the way, if would be good if you do some A/B comparison with the original song while you try tweaking EQ or mic position.

But I like this one more...
