My mama told me to take everything with a pinch of turmeric. (Good for arthritis, which the legendary guitarist, Les Paul, suffered from.) Also, try everything out there. Great video. You have a new subscriber.

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Turmeric is used heavily in Indian cuisine! Thank you for the support :)

Man thats awesome....

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Thanks a lot!

[@soyaitor9000]

Is the first preset for solo and the second for rhythm? Or the other way around? I don't speak English so I didn't understand the video well. Thanks

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

First of all, thanks for watching. The first preset is for the rhythm and the second one should be for solo I beleive. Hope you enjoy! Cheers.

[@angellotomic]

I use this setup for all songs from Suspended Animation. Thanks brother. Thanks

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Glad you like it brother, super happy that it works out well on your gear :)

[@Hallow334]

Great tutorial. Just created the presets on GR5. They sound great.

Glad you like them! Thanks a lot!

[@musicwithmayank]

Thanx bro

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Most welcome!

[@danyel8707]

Pls do a fusion tone 🙂 ❤️

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Would love to add it to the list (if I can play them :D), can you give me some examples?

[@vivekmehta5172]

Is it important to have an early Petrucci style beard before one can play so well ?

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Haha. Yes, the beard is very important 😂. Thanks man!

[@angellotomic]

TNX MAN Good job. Im my scenario deley wont work on this position I dont now why but I moove to the top and now work. Thanks

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

You're welcome man! Cheers.

[@charleschad1004]

Maybe i have to change to guitar rig now

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

It's quite decent for what it can do. What are you using at the moment?

[@charleschad1004]

@@GurtejSinghGuitar bias fx 2. Do you ever use bias fx?

[@mohitrahaman]

Me doing 20 push-ups. Still skinny. Me after attempting to play Glasgow Kiss. Biceps!

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

The gains are incredible :)

[@mohitsinha944]

Can I expect the same tone on Jackson guitars?

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

It should sound good on a decent pair of humbuckers.

[@mrw0rst226]

That tone is awesome! But I need help. I tried using control room pro and it doesn't work. It doesn't give me an output and I can't move most of the knobs. Any advice on how to fix that?

Great! Like and subscribe right now!

Could you please make a video on how to make a steve morse-like tone on guitar rig 5?

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Would love to, maybe sometime in the future! Steve's tone is incredible.

[@_parthib_1896]

Sir, please make this tone on Zoom G1x on processor.

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Apologies I do not have that unit with me, but concept wise I think you can follow similar steps on the unit if you have one. Hope this helps. Cheers.

[@alessandro9740]

so the channel 1 is for rhythm and channel 2 is for leads? sorry im newbie :)

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

No worries, I don't think there are channels here, it's just separate presets.

[@alessandro9740]

@@GurtejSinghGuitar ooh thanks for clearing it

[@joe78man]

Why it doesn't sound so distortioned in my case?

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Maybe check the 'Input' and 'Output' settings at the top of the interface. Try increasing the input level to see if it helps. Also, if you have the 'Gate' next to it on, try to reduce it and see. Also, every guitar is different, you can always add more distortion and drive if needed. Hope this helps.

[@Eren-ue2ty]

how do i download this preset?

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

It's all in the video, and you can easily dial it along with me. I think some one had posted links as well in the comments. Hope this helps.

[@hkmz455]

Hi , this is just amazing, i have a question please, so you just recorded this through the Motu and with no post eq ? can u please elaborate more about your recording process?

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Thanks a lot for watching and your feedback. Yes, I am going straight from the guitar into the MOTU and into Cubase (DAW), no Post EQ. I have Guitar Rig 5 setup as a VST plugin. If you have specific questions about the recording process, please do let me know, I'll try my best to answer them. Cheers.

[@hkmz455]

@@GurtejSinghGuitar thank you for replying Sir i really appreciate your help, my issue is that i can get a very good guitar sound from guitar rig, my boss katana or anything else, but when i record my sounds comes out very digital and wont sound even as 50% good comparing to your sound or any other youtuber patch that i have tried, some say that its about mixing and eq and doing stuff after recording, and some say that i have to get an expensive audio interface, so im actually lost to be honest, and i would be very grateful if you can give me some tips on how to get a proper sound and get rid of my frustration. and thank you again Sir.

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Apologies for the late reply. Tone is a very subjective matter. In my opinion, most of our tone resides in our fingers. You may have heard many say this as well. But I have observed this over many years of playing that although good gear does matter, what matters more is how you play. Now, I havent heard you play so I am not saying that your playing isnt good. Before I got the Axe FX, I used to mainly play on guitar rig only. I also found my tone to be quite fizzy and not so good. But as I practiced more, I found that my ears and hands got cleaner and my perception of tone completely changed. And I started to find my own sound. So, my best advice would be, practice a lot. Would love to hear how your tone sounds at the moment. Hope this helps!

[@hkmz455]

@@GurtejSinghGuitar thank you again for replying and for help , here is one of my videos so you can have an idea on my playing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGqUqmOGbJikqs0&lc=UgxDbXQTdWHqztgJ3e54AaABAg.9Ax6bua-I2D9BBj1iv41Uz

@@hkmz455 Thanks but that's just the same link as this video :)

[@ericp7129]

When I add the Skreamer the sound becomes dull. Im using IBANEZ Gio. guitar.Please advise? NB... The tutorial is GREAT.

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Can you try to play around with the 'tone' knob in the screamer? maybe that should add some top end to your tone? Or try to change the Presence and Treble knobs of the amp to have more top-end. Hope this helps! Thanks for your feedback :)

[@j.michaelfinehomesllc85]

What interface and speakers do you use for Guitar Rig 5?

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

I use a MOTU interface and Tapco studio monitors. All my gear is covered in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpbRmpakoruroas

[@jnc2494]

does the guitar really important? i mean the hardware of the guitar itself

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

The hardware and the guitar are important to some extent. Like obviously a good pair of humbuckers would sound better for Petrucci tones, than single coil pickups for example. Other than that, I think that you can always tweak the tone to make it sound great on your guitar. Hope this helps!

[@lucastacconi688]

Yes, really important. I changed all my pickups of my cheap strat for good ones and the difference is HUGE. New and good strings with nice pickups will make incredible difference.

[@gurlerium]

exactly the same sound. im hoping to hear same sound with different guitar

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Thanks! Hope you get a similar sound. Please do share if you had to tweak things. Cheers.

[@sweetguy19762]

Gurtej Singh Where can i get this preset?

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

As I mentioned in the video, I'm using the trial version which does not allow to save. You can always dial it along with me in the video. I cover every setting. Hope this helps.

[@Hallow334]

I posted links above to the presets I made. Enjoy!
