Any tips on how to achieve this? I love that silky smoothness. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Any tips on how to achieve this? I love that silky smoothness. Humbuckers in neck position, heavy compressor and a quite small room reverb will do, I guess. //Staffay You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It also seems like there's a really slight wah in there, or maybe it's just slide hmmm. I'ma adjust my tremolo to go down only and put some new strings on before I make the recording, in a couple days I guess. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Not sure he used it elsewhere, but you could try that or a rotary speaker effect if you have something like that in your bag of tricks. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If I record through my amp I may be in luck, I have a mesa with el84s that has a great clean channel, not exactly voxy, but pretty similar. I may end up just doing it with the toneport though, we'll see. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Im kind of fishing for ideas in these takes so let me know what you like or don't. Need to work on that guitar sound more I think, but it does sound nice now. gin_money2.mp3 ( 3.48MB ) Number of downloads: 154 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
