AFIII Megadeth “Hangar 18”

[MattBowman]

When I was a kid(before I even played guitar), my older brother played this album for me and I was hooked. I wanted so bad to play guitar, and I couldn't believe how good Marty Friedman was, even when I started playing I never thought I'd be able to play this song. Next month marks my 26th year playing and I realized I'd never learned this song all the way through, so this week I recorded it and had a blast. It took many takes to get some of Marty's solo's, and they're still nowhere near perfect but give it a listen and let me know what you think! Gear was my Suhr Modern, Axe FX III into Logic with a backing track I found on youtube. I used the same lead patch I shared on a previous post(using scene 2), rhythm guitars were panned hard L and R using a Brit 800 #34 and HBE models.

Dang!! Nice job. The double-tracked rhythm tracks were tight too.

Thanks so much! I'm going to post the patches in case anyone wants to try them.

 

[MattBowman]

If anyone wants the patches, here they are. On the rhythm patch, I used scene 1 panned hard left, and scene 2 panned hard right. On the lead patch it was a tone match, I used scene 2 for all the solos.
