just started learning the song a few days ago, and i have a rough knowledge of the song up untill about 2 minutes in. well anyway i recorded using my Fender strat into My Avt150. i just want critisism, advice, comments on playing and the tone. the playing isnt too great but i plan to repost the song in full in about a month or 2 when ive had time to practice it a little.

from : localhost/me what you think

Good stuff!

First of all, i must say i loved the tone! And you captured the quot;vibequot; of the song pretty well, too .

But, in some parts it seems like you play notes just to make it quot;fastquot;. You really need to work on the fast runs, and also the timing.

You wanted critism, here ya got it .

thanks, i know the particular runs, like i said, il re record it again, there are some runs where i attempted to reach the speed but the notes kinda blurred together, thats just gonna take some practice to get it a little clearer, thanks for the quot;critisismquot;

By the way, what pickups did you use on the recording?

Great tone!

Full Shred (bridge pickup)

u want criticism?? i was obsessed into the neo and yngwie style, so i know what ur getting into?
Nice tone, but it sounds more like a paul gilbert tone, too fuzzy for malmsteen, u got the energy and the vibe, u gotta praactice timing, picking runs, the intro runs sound very weak and muddy, on ur long runs u dont pick all notes as malmsteen would in far beyond the sun. Practice ur vibrato, on some it doesn´t sound in tune.
Happy picking!!!!

Sounds pretty good to me!

Theres a few flaws, but meh.

i did pick all the notes for the runs, whether or not they were all successful is is a definate no, but i find legato runs harder than picked runs, since i almost never use legato in my playing, ive always tried to pick every note, this is a hard song but i think i can get it nailed with time, thanks for your comments

The buzz is because, badly shielded guitar, next to a computer monitor, and direct Input recording with no noise gate, if i had used a mic infront of the amp to record it the buzzing wouldent be there.
