Fractal Fanatic
Some video from last weekend’s show.
Thanks man! For me it’s Jake. He has a very unorthodox style. Lots of weird stretches! Zakk has some alternating picking licks I can’t do without throwing in some hammer on’s and pull off’s to complete the lick. His right hand is rapid fire. Randy is more my comfort zone. Not saying he is easy by any means but he’s more of a schooled player and sticks to a lot of scalular type runs from his formal training and that is more my style as well.
No, although I do have a replica of that guitar signed by him! Got him to sign it when he came through town with Red Dragon Cartel last year. The one in the video is a So Cal that came with a maple neck that I swapped out for an old 80’s Charvel USA rosewood neck that I had lying around. I’ve got a replica of his blue burst as well that I use for Shot in the Dark since it has a weird tuning.
Charvel So Cal but with an old 80’s Charvel USA rosewood neck in place of the maple one it came with.
The intro is so awesome.
Here ya go. This is for the Axe XL so you will need to use Fractool to convert it to something else. I have a version for the AX8 as well. I'm using an expression pedal connected to the Expression Pedal 1 port to control the delay feedback and level for the opening chords at the beginning where the delay trails ring out. Start playing the chord progression and when you hit the last notes of the chord step down on the expression pedal as you are picking them to let them ring out. There is already quite a bit of Ducking Delay on the preset but doing this really makes it sound like the album. After that you can just play the rest of the intro without doing anything. The Scenes used are as follows:
