[@newidentityforever]

[@jrffite]

+David Alan Jones Once more, with feeling:P Thanks.

[@naturaisdescansar2266]

+James Fernando James You is a Creat Guitarrist... uploado more Vídeos! 😆

[@LaminarSound]

Beautiful tone my friend. I'm struggling with my AC15 right now. So much high end. At home I dial it in and at church it's so harsh in the highs.

[@joshrdealmusic]

When I had an AC15C1, I did the bright cap mod to the Top Boost channel, which made the highs much more manageable. I also found that what was dark at home was bright enough at stage volume. A Vox has enough midrange to be present amidst other instruments, so keeping the highs at around half on the Top Boost channel was enough. When I was trying to be dark and rounded for smaller and quieter settings, the Normal channel was great. I thought I wanted that tighter and brighter sound of the Vox Night Train, but I'm finding that I miss the AC15!

[@ricardojuniorchavezcalle660]

Felicidades Hermano , utiliza tu talento para Dios , cuidate y adelante

Ricardo Junior Chavirerxxxxxxx Calle

[@danielfong1093]

[@jrffite]

C major with an added Db passing note.

[@itsdave3916]

Es increible, me sigo preguntando sobre las Tap, serian de gran ayuda.

[@abrahamk6734]

Nice tone brother :D

[@stevelizotte9393]

Abraham K jessyxxxxxxx

[@chienk3049]

Good job bro!

[@phildas]

I'm a fan seriously! Time to go the analog way

[@RodrigoPerez-ou5wi]

awesome job man.. do you hab tabs for this??

[@jrffite]

+Rodrigo Perez Nope. I probably have the notation for the solo somewhere, since I composed the majority of it before touching the guitar.

[@RodrigoPerez-ou5wi]

+James Fernando oh sweet man.. keep it up bro, i would love to see a tutorial for some of your covers or the notation it would be cool aswell , God Bless you brother

[@andreassrlie9111]

Can you share you Vox Amp settings? do you remember that?

[@sam_elvsen]

Do more hillsong covers, and different bands! (;

[@hungdinhdang]

wat happened to the awesome pedalboard setting explanation :p haha, but i enjoyed it a lot. keep up the work man!

[@jrffite]

+William D Got lazy. Haha. It's pretty much the same stuff as before, except that I've used the Pog to octave up the guitar for the highest notes.

[@ocaiao]

Hello James, what programs you use to record your instrument and play along with the music? thanks :)

[@jrffite]

Reaper. Highly recommended.

[@ocaiao]

Thank you so much, and to record video / you ? :)

[@jrffite]

Adobe Premiere Pro for editing video.

[@ocaiao]

Thank you so much. :) make videos playing Planetshalkes :)

[@job108]

can you share your amp settings?? i got the same amp..

[@jrffite]

+Job Ian Caliwag Top Boost channel, Bass maxed, Treble 9 oclock, Volume 9 oclock, tone cut minimum.

[@nathanielnovero]

what is your neck pickup?

[@jrffite]

I think it was a Fralin Blues Special. I've since changed to Are 67s.

[@nathanielnovero]

@@jrffite nice.. I thought it was an area 57.. Great tone and great playing.. ☝️☝️☝️

[@MatheusSantos-je3ih]

Because are you using two DD20?

[@thucster5]

Amazing man. I was wondering for your distortion stuff, do you run the top boost channel or normal? I've been trying to get a good distortion sound but I Can't get my vox to sound good. IT sounds very buzzy.

[@jrffite]

+Thuc Vu Top Boost, but I keep the amp mostly clean. The majority of the drive is from my pedals.

[@thucster5]

+James Fernando thanks for replying man! what drive do you use? I tried the fulltone full-drive 2 and it was horrible.

[@jrffite]

+Thuc Vu No worries. My main drive is a BB Preamp, with the Crunchbox and Timmy providing additional gain when required. You can see the switching in the video.

[@faithfuldisciple101]

Would u share your amp settings ?

[@jrffite]

If I remember correctly: Top Boost channel, Vol 9 oclock, Bass 5 oclocl, Treble 9 oclock, Tone cut 7 oclock.

[@fernandofarias2598]

genial

[@brylegenis4324]

Bro, whats your BB pre amp Knob setting and your Timmy?

[@jrffite]

+Bryle Genis BB Pre: Gain 10 oclock, Vol 10 oclock, Treb 2 oclock, Bass 2 oclock. Timmy: Gain 1 oclock, Vol 1 oclock, Treb 10 oclock, Bass 12 oclock. Settings subject to monthly revision.

[@airuiz2]

I take it this is your own solo? If it is, it's beautifully crafted. I always tune in man. God bless!

[@jrffite]

+Armando Ruiz Hey buddy. Yes it is. Nothing fancy really, just keeping the harmony in mind.

[@airuiz2]

Well shoot, that was awesome! I wish Hillsong would hear this so they can add it to the actual song. Great Job, GOD BLESS

[@jrffite]

+Armando Ruiz Hillsong doesn't seem to want to write big guitar solos for their songs anymore. Never mind, it just gives me more opportunities to write my own:P

[@kinz9351]

Did you put a replacement neck on your Strat?

[@jrffite]

+Kristopher Kinzie Yup. Musikraft.

[@JohnPerryMusic]

+James Fernando how do you like it?

[@jrffite]

+JohnPerryMusic Love it! Quality's good enough for me.

[@oney6744]

Do you have tabs for the solo?

[@jrffite]

Nope.

[@oney6744]

did you use scales when making the solo?

[@jrffite]

Mostly C major, but I really just focused on creating a melody, without worrying about the scale.

[@MoiGuzman]

Mira nomás esos juguetes wow :0

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

It's all under your fingers dude:)

[@Early-Music]

Great cover man!!! I love the tone of your guitar. What type of delay do you have on your amp?

[@jimmyb94]

what pickups are you using in the strat?

[@jrffite]

+James Barrett Fralin Blues Special. 7% overwind if memory serves.

[@hcc9587]

What pickups are in that Strat?!?

[@jrffite]

Those were Fralin Blues Specials. Have since swapped them out.

[@ethansimawill2847]

What key are you playing this in?

[@jrffite]

C

[@ethansimawill2847]

Awesome job man. We’re doing this at my school and wish the lead guitarist was this good. I do more of rhythm guitar stuff but definitely wanna learn to play like this in the future.

[@jrffite]

It's definitely possible. What I do isn't difficult. Practise! Good luck.

[@jrffite]

+Frederick Lau Sure or not? This fellow is always rushing AND dragging:P

[@alekseybochkov952]

молодец напиши ноты пожалуйста и Бог благословит тебя

[@josephchong4888]

Hey James, thanks for sharing this. May I know what are the setting used on your dd20 for this song?

[@javiermoreno2760]

oh men increible solo

[@patrickgesner2991]

What Channel on the AC15 are you plugged into? Normal or Top Boost?

[@jgeorge4578]

What gauge strings do you use?

[@jrffite]

+Jenson George 11-50. Fattens up the cleans imo.
