Some random notes over Zakk Wylde's "Farewell Ballad" 🎸

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Had nothing interesting to play/record this week so I decided to try a couple of takes over this beautiful backing track from the classic guitar solo "Farewell Ballad" by Zakk Wylde. Beware of the sloppy playing and fails!

[@cha-chi_xgaming5654]

Bro what you talking about fails you nailed the coffin shut my guy

[@Ale-Desafinados]

@@cha-chi_xgaming5654 thanks mate, could be done far better, that is for sure!

This solo sound amazing to me, his modifications are so satisfying and smooth and make more thecnical sense for me! Just amazing!

[@kevinmorrissey9398]

Agreed he is the most talented and best sounding guitarist I've ever seen on youtube, and I've seen a lot. My honest opinion.

[@mladen1982]

@@kevinmorrissey9398 So true mate, lot's of them, and they are good, but @Desafinados playing is just another level...

[@Patcd89]

He would do well in generation axe. Replacing Tosin, I saw generation axe live and Tosin was a big yawn snore fest 😴

[@melodica5407]

@@Patcd89 For real though. I enjoyed desafinados' playing way more than those modern progressive, invasive, elusive, necrophilist, misogynist, pseudoshredders. I prefer guitarists with good balance of technicality and musicality

basic improvisation , but with great feeling , inspired by zakk style , so .... that's actually amazing :D

Thanks Thibaut! Quite a few bad notes and pattern repetition, but improvisation is always a bit risky ha ha.

[@BradleyOverton]

🤘Wow! Excellent guitar cover again. Something that doesn't get mentioned in the comments as well is love your videography as well, you're a real inspiration. Thanks a lot keep the covers coming. Keep rocking

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Thanks Bradley, glad you like the video work too. I'm having real issues with the lens for extra wide and crispy focused image. Hopefully will be better in the near future.

[@BradleyOverton]

@@Ale-Desafinados sorry for the slow reply, yes I think you have exceptional videography skills. I've actually faced a few of my covers of similar camera angles lighting etc as you, to get a similar effect. Are you using a 35mm wide angle lens? I found when I use my 35-60 mm lens on the 35 mm setting I've got similar results to yours, but not quite as good lOL. Again any advice she get similar videography results to yours would be great. All the best

[@Ale-Desafinados]

@@BradleyOverton I'm using a Yongnuo cheap 2.0 35mm lens, the problem is that my camera is not full frame so it's the same as using a real 50mm. My "studio" room is quite small so I'm quite limited to the camera angles. For the price it is an amazing lens for low light conditions and front/back separation depth of field, but also quite tricky to shot in focus because auto-focus sucks and I have to do it all manually. Advice... not an expert but probably good light is the most important thing, and a good background!

[@BradleyOverton]

@@Ale-Desafinados thanks for the great advice. I'll take this all on board for next cover. I might buy one of those Yongnuo lenses off eBay and give it a bash. Cheers Brad 🎸

Love it! You stopped using the H&k completely? Still lovely tones. I bought an H&K like yours and I love it! Still use amp sims though. Love the ability to switch things around in post. I digress! Love your work as always 👏👏👏👏

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Thanks! I'm getting lazy about using the amp ha ha, as you already said, it is easier to tweak the tone afterwards using plugins. I'm have a reamp box but never get used to it. In any case, amp sound will probably be better most of the times!

[@Guillermo-Hena]

Oh mis Dioses!!! para mis oídos esto literalmente es un orgasmo hermosísimo... muy muy bueno éste tu video que hiciste solo porque "esta semana no tenías nada interesante que grabar" y sales con esta preciosidad... estás bárbaro con lo que puedes hacer con unas "notas al azar"... simplemente bárbaro... algo para escuchar miles de veces. 👍👍👍
