The rates R superstar babbbbbyyy

I saw Alter Bridge play this song live in Buffalo New York this past summer. It was amazing, my favorite song of all time. They closed out the show with Sevendust and Mammoth. It was awesome.

I already am brother 😎

I think you'll find it's now the Rated R Superstar Adam Copeland thank you very much! 😉 To be fair, even though he goes by his real name in AEW now I still refer to him as Edge. Old habits die hard I suppose! 😂

Ditto. My go to for rock covers done right. True professional getting that consistency nailed down. Mystics the man 🤘

Agreed pretty amazing

Of course 🙂🙂

@@Sara.M25 But it's so good, it's great!! 👏🤘😃

PRS is very popular for rock and metal. They're versatile too so they can pull off a lot of different styles outside of just rock and metal too.

Because that part is not all picked. It's partly played with quick hammer-ons and pull-offs hence why I'm not picking all the notes.

My questions were not about hammer-ons and pull-offs, but overall assertiveness over right hand. Maybe I just from old-school where you had tube amp and TB to warm it up and needed to apply much more precise strokes and with less extra movements (very strong strokes with almost no movement) and that is why it all look strange to me :) Was I right? Did you play using modeling processor? Or do you play through all analog circuit? I tried digital distortion circuits, but simply cant play through them because of limited dynamic range, headroom and unable to articulate some notes more loudly than the others. They all sounded great at recordings, but i need to hear at least some kind of analog distortion/overdrive to being able to play. 🥵

@@burtonfzz No, I use all analog equipment. A tube amp with a mic in front of it, that's how I've always done it. I'm also, as you say, old-school. I have nothing against the digital modelers, I just prefer a real amp. With that said, I don't think playing a tube amp and playing a modeler really changes your technique and how you have to play. Playing a tube amp really doesn't require that much more precision, you just need to be mindful of feedback when you're cranking the gain which can be compensated for with noise gates which keep it contained. As well as other unwanted string noise which mostly boils down to having good technique that is mindful of muting the unwanted noises you don't want ringing out. I used a lot of gain and an extremely scooped tone for these Alter Bridge covers and looking back, I already wish I didn't use this kind of tone for these songs because it doesn't always work well especially for the big open chord stuff like in Open Your Eyes. Too much harsh high ends ringing out but for a song like this, a more metal-oriented song, it worked really well I think. I've never been a player who plays hard, I definitely play lighter than a lot of others. Never had any issues with getting strong attack though but I think a lot of that is in the tone and not necessarily the technique. Tones with a ton of gain like this, you really don't have to strum the strings hard for them to have a lot of attack and note articulation.

@@MysticGuitar77 great to hear that. as for "tube amps doesnot require more precision" I partly agree party disagree. Depends on a grade of amp =) I though that I played ok, until I came to my friend, who is really old school guitarist and a mixing engineer, who worked with famous local metal band, and I tried to play through his small crappy 5 or 10 watt marshal amp and mesa V-twin pedal and I sweated over the guitar but still sounded like I completly don't know how to play and even don't know at which side should I hold a guitar =) I returned back home in awful mood, but I played absolutly fine throug randall stack =) It took me 3-4 years of changing my gear and flattening my ass for hours until I start to sound "ok" oh his system, while his performance sounded abolutly fine to be. Than we both happen to play through local metal band's frontman guitar stack and sound chain, I again sounded like a person who bought a guitar 2 weeks ago, my friend mixing engineer sounded like he is playing only 6 month and for some reason sounded really dirty, and when a frontman himself started to play - he sounded awesome =) And also second thing I noticed - it does not matter what guitar or amp do you have - you will ALWAY have sound of you =) I didn't get a sound of a metal band playing through their equipment, but sounded like I still played my randall stack, my friend mixing engineer sounded like it was his marshal and v-twin and metal band sounded like metal band =) Also I was on a small "master class" from frontman from Annihilator (if I remember that correctly but for some reason I'm not sure anymore about the past), at a local guitar store, he sounded awesome and performed classic hits through small marshall avt combo and randomly picked guitar from a wall, but still sounded like it should. After master class peole tried the same guitar and same combo, so did I and need less to say that I didn't sound like Annihilator at all, even if I knew all the notes =))) Same thing happed when I switched to bass, I played via Ampeg mainly, didn't get why everyone love Gallien-Krueger so much, it sounded muffed and dirty to my taste, until we played on a concrt through the same bass amp with other band, and Gallien-Krueger sounded ok and I already knew why =) After I learned how to play good enough I understand why everyone are in love wih GK and so do I. Why did I wrote this? I am bored and I moved to another country more than a year ago and left all my gear there, have no guitars here and maybe that is the reason why I watch youtube and complaine here and there, so don't take my rant close to heart =) GL HF
