SWOLA145 - I almost used 6 strings!

#SWOLA145
I've decided to set myself a new challenge. From today I'll use a different guitar each week until I've used each guitar once (before repeating). I'll use the same VST plugins though to see how much of a difference the guitars and pickups make to the tone. I'm hoping it's a fun experiment. Fingers crossed.
Also, I tried to use more strings this week. I realised last week that I'm generally very 'bottom string focused'. I'll work on that. I also used more audio tracks. Four rhythm tracks and one 'lead' track. I use the word 'lead' hesitantly.
My signal chain basics are as follows:
Guitar-Ibanez RX20
Bass-Monterey PJ
Interface-Focusrite Scarlett Solo
DAW-Reaper
Plugins-JST Toneforge Jeff Loomis and Bassforge Hellraiser

That lead at 0:44 was an awesome addition and a nice surprise, really well done. It is magic to do something unpredictable. Great riffs as well, this entry was really well executed.

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. I appreciate that. I surprised myself as well, but enjoyed trying something different.

[@KRIS.7S]

Love those layers at the final part, killer entry GF, awesome work !!!!!!! 👏👏👏

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks so much mate. I am always hesitant about anything on that part of the neck, but I didn't mind how that turned out. I appreciate your ongoing support mate.

[@TAKFULLHOUSE5150]

[@Slaptone]

Cool and complicated synchopated riff that emerges into great leads! Good job, GF!

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. I hope to build my lead skills and confidence this year.

[@zarochi]

Very cool entry! Definitely a unique take on these drums 🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks so much. I realised it wasn't chuggy or brutal, but I liked where it landed.

[@cartner320]

This is awesome guitar work bud 🤘🏻loved the layers so much

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks so much 🤘

[@chrisloud1976]

Nice entry Jason, I really like the Melodie’s over the main guitar track. Great job 🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. I asked myself "What would Chris do?" and then I played by 16-times slower attempt of that 😅

[@jimihendriks82]

Awesome grooving riffs man and some nice melodic piece on top! Well done! 🤘🤘🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. Still trying to break my usual mould (or mold depending on where you're from I believe). I did enjoy this one though.

[@WyrmOnTheMoon]

Oooh I like the idea behind the experiment! Almost as much as I liked this track! Great job, mate! Everything fit together so well!

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. I'm embracing challenges lately. Keeps me on my toes 😂

[@BalashToth]

Cool riffs dude. Nice groove snd melodies 🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. I kept it basic, but liked it.

[@nightmaresanddreamscapes1320]

I like what you did here with the lead and the riffing is very catchy and tight! Great work GF!

[@guitarfascination]

Thank you so much mate. I really appreciate that feedback. You rock!

[@jaisor]

I love the guitar challenge. I try to do the same, loosely enforced over time, but each guitar deserves attention heh anyways awesome groovy riffs as always, great job on the high octave melody, really complimented the rhythm 🤘🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks mate. You have to push yourself, right? I'm trying to also improve my approach to the bass so that it's not simply repeating the guitar part. I'm enjoying the journey.

[@philby82]

another great entry with groove man! nothing wrong with being bottom string focussed imo :)

[@guitarfascination]

I have to agree with that. Thanks for giving this a listen 🤘

[@GuitarHoarder]

White Zombie have just put a list together of their top 5 guitarists to replace J and you’re in the number 1 spot! That was an awesome entry mate! Lovin the riffage and the video production 🤘🎸🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Hahaha. Thanks mate. I could be Jason 1 😂😂😂

[@GuitarHoarder]

@@guitarfascination ahahahahaha that’s gold!! 😂😂😂
