I don’t know about you, but I love a good melody. Shredding is fun, but for me I can’t listen to a relentless barrage of non-stop shred for more than a song or 2. That’s why I’ve always loved John Petrucci as he’s always mixed the insane shred with beautiful, soaring melodies. One of my favorite outro solos is from the Dream Theater song “Octavarium.” It has everything I like in a solo, something that actually contributes to the song itself, instead of just being a platform to show off how fast you can play. So last night I recorded this fantastic solo using my Suhr Modern into my Axe-Fx III. All the guitars you hear are me, the backing track is from youtube. I used the same preset as this thread https://forum.fractalaudio.com/thre...f-times-solo-with-preset.159768/#post-1913576
