Ok, so my postings have been a bit scarce lately but I plan on making up for it in the coming weeks with a bunch of recording postings. This first one kicks things off with a bang, it is a live rendition of Van Halen's Jump recorded at a club we regularly perform at.
Now, I want to put it out there that I am not Eddie, have never ever felt that I could play like him :? (am more of a Gilmour pupil) and never really had the confidence or comfort level to attempt his material. However, when I initially heard the Axe-Fx I heard two presets that blew me away (Crazy Train and Brown Sound). When I played through both of these I felt that I was channeling these legendary guitarists (in my own way of course) and because of this felt confident enough to attempt both Crazy Train and Jump in a live band setting and so am posting Jump for the world to comment on, compliment, trash, whatever. I don't think I nailed the solo note for note but I feel that I got the essence of it which for me was a big accomplishment. The preset is pretty much stock but I messed with the panning a bit to center and tweaked the EQ to match my pickups (Lace Sensor Hot Gold Dually).
