Thank you so much!

@@CAPTAINCOOK406 while i do mime in some videos, this riff is doubletracked, both in whole takes and the take in the video is put in the middel of the riff But doing this took roughly 4-5 months of just grinding this riff :)

@@CAPTAINCOOK406 the reason it sounds Chorusy is also because of the three tracks and them not being perfect

@@sandatosoil everything

@@simonjoudon Is that why we’re broke?

@@sandatosoil that and a hefty nicotine habit

@@stepmom6488 very aggressive muting, and then studio magic to get rid of the last Tiny bit of buzz and electrical noise :)

Hell yeah, right between the sauce and the cream

@@simonjoudon 😳

@@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial im not sure how to answer that tbh haha

@@simonjoudon feel complimented my friend 😂🤛✌🏼

@@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial guess i will then haha

@@simonjoudon it was a good tug too bruh 😎

@@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial im so glad you enjoyed your tug

Thank you! :)

You tell me haha❤

@@simonjoudonou fair point haha. It sounds amazing ❤

You have no idea how happy that comment makes me :) Thank you!!

I don't think so haha

I'll teach ya ❤️

@@simonjoudon yes please !!

​@@sandatosoilprobably mine is similar to yours... 😂

​@@imjustherefortheksain't nothing wrong with that :)

Thank you! Yeah, that was my life for 3 months getting this to tracking level haha

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment, I'm glad you liked it!! So in terms of gear here's a list: Ormsby Hype GTR 8 GGD Modern Fusion Spitfire Audio LABS library And a bit of the free Kontakt stuff The guitar is tuned to EAeadgbe, and is completely stock My sound is probably unique solely due to me still not being very good at this 😅 Remember there's free tabs in both PDF and guitar pro files id you wanna try it out😁

Waaait my bad, i forgot to add that the Amp used is Neural DSP's Fortin NTS i think I'd be happy to do a full breakdown of the part in a video if people are interested

@@simonjoudon You said that "My sound is probably unique due to me still not being very good at this 🙂" to which I say - nope, your skills are right up there, the "unique" sound I am hearing is more of a tone? Iduno, but your playing is high end. I know we are all our own worst critics so I do get that. I really like the sound, the tone... it kind of has a digital feeling to it if that means anything. There is a song by Polyphia called Persevere featuring Aaron Marshal from the band Intervals - there are some licks in that song that have a tone that I find to be vaguely similar to the one you are getting. It is more than a tone though, they must be using octavers on the track or something but I have searched and asked for a long time an I have not found a single straight forward answer for that song. If you never heard that song give it a listen, it is an awesome song and the tones and character of the guitars on it are simply stellar. Oh, and thanks for your reply to my post! Cheers.

@@simonjoudon Oh yea, one more thing... Thanks a ton for the tabs, etc. that is super cool of you to share. That said, I have not played guitar for over a year now... about a year ago we had a pipe break and all of my equipment got soaked and ruined! And ssome of it was only a few weeks old as I had just landed a new full time job and wanted to get a good audio interface (I got an Audient iD4, a decent $500 laptop for the DAW and related items... that really was about it but it and lots of other electronics such as my receiver and PS4 all got trashed! When I first got home to the mess it took hours to get rid of all of the standing water. I did not notice that a bin that contained my hard drives from all of my computers that I ever owned (and therefore all of the data and files on them) were all soaking in water and it was a few weeks later until I came across the bin and by that time it was too late, they were trashed) Pictures, family videos, work files, you name it, all gone. And I guess I got super bummed out and kind of fell into a funk of sorts and just lost interest in playing... need to shake it off sometime soon. I have played guitar for decades by the way. I did replace the interface with a less expensive one (Still an Audient, but I got the EVO...) sounds great, the construction is kind of cheap but in the end that should not matter a single bit. I ended up using a used but good condition laptop that a friend was nice enough to part with. But the PS4 is gone, the receiver, gone (replaced with a $89 unit found as a scratch and dent" and it is good enough) The TV somehow survived but the picture frequently has these waves of dark patches that appear, and it would seem that smacking the back of the panel in just the right place, with just the right force gets it to stop for a while... Sometimes it just won't go away and it is really hard to see anything on the left hand side of the screen. Thanks for reading if you got this far! Cheers.

@@genjitsu7448 You're too kind my good man I'm a huge Polyphia fan, but haven't listened too much to Inspire. I'll be sure to check it out! This riff specifically is triple-tracked with 2 distorted tones, 1 Clean. The playing is doubled by the LABS bass and a synth, so that May very well be the digital feeling you're describing. It is far from analog :)

Welp

Then thank you!! It makes me so glad when anyone actually likes what i do

Ooh i would looove a Metal X, this finish rocks!

@@simonjoudon dude these models are great! I always wanted a Warrior without the Floyd and this one stuck out to me being a multi-scale as well.

@@garaheet2931 funny cause all i want is an X or Goliath with 8 strings and a trem haha

@@simonjoudon hahaha nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't mind making that move to a trem, but I just don't know how the hell to maintain them. I don't know the tips and tricks and what not yet but that's why I gotta dive in first.

True, maybe this would just be an instrumental part? Or just no vocals... Dunno yet hihi

I absolutely love it The pickups are Nice, but mine has a teensy bit of neck dive and the wiring inside is a little faulty Those are the ONLY negatives. Everything Else about it is just perfect👌

Thanks man🙏

yes and i like it when the guitar goes xmzmhzhzgg

Well it sure aint the housing industry

the future is now old man

@@JaelleJaen the old its so much better. Now a days its just bullshit

​@@PedroHenriquePeagaHSkill issue tbh

Thanks dude!! I will! First time i get to make a song cause someone actually wanted to hear it haha

@@simonjoudon YAYA let me know when you do finish bro!

@@snougy8489 for sure👌

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :)

Comin' up on 13 years i think. This riff still took me 3 months to get right tho

Thanks! Almost went insane trying to learn it

Thanks baby❤

I use Getgooddrums OKW Modern fusion :)

Hell yeah bro!

@@simonjoudon looks soo clean

@@izmircimen1105 yeeeea, i really dig it

Thank you! I'll try 😁

Thank you 😁

Thank you! Hope it's useful :)

Thank you😁

Hope that means you could use it somehow 😁 And thank you!

@@simonjoudon I’m always very grateful for free things like your video or neural amp modeller as I don’t have alot of money 😅

@@callumcreatesriffs well the link also has tabs for pretty much all my other videos if you're interested :) Hope you'll land on your feet dude

So glad to hear! Let me know how it goes :)

Thats so cool! The thumbing in particular Would be cool to see more exercises

@@sandatosoil thaanks, I'll try to work up some others!

Never been compared to Brian May before, thank you!

Fair, i won't

Hell yeah!

Thank you 😊

Glad you like it bro 😊

Oooh, Nice to know that KZfaq's pushing it a little bit

It's a virtual amplifier actually! Neural DSP's Archetype Tim Henson. It features a multivoicer, which is probably what you're hearing 😁

@@simonjoudon if you don’t mind me asking how do you hook up/ record your guitar? I’m trying through FL STUDIO using the NOLLY plugin but it feels super sensitive, gotta have the guitar volume basically at zero, was wondering how you do it?

​@@dayskiewell to be honest i still haven't got it just right. Struggling quite a bit with electrical noise in the signal. BUT one Thing i have done is buy a cheap DI-box that has a ground switch, and put that in between the guitar and the focusrite :)

​@@dayskiedoes that make sense? I'm here to help if i can! 😊

Thanks! And yep, it is

They definitely don’t seem low effort to me, so I don’t know what you’re on about. But groovy!

@@sandatosoil thaaaanks baby

I think you deserve more attention. Subscribed

its nice. love it.

​@@ImNoName666thanks! And I'm really glad you like it

Im glad you liked it in spite of the surprise :)

Thanks! It's the start of a song I'm working on :)

Yeaa bro, you know it

Yep! Schecter Blackjack SLS C-8 And thank you! I get your point about the tone tho, those two-hand tapping arpeggios are hard to get a tone for. At least for me :)

@@simonjoudon perhaps add a little bit of delay and chorus? More mids and lower bass? 8th string sounds like a rope which is almost a string from the bass guitar lol Can't say anything bad about the distorted tone. Sounds tasty :)

@@vladimirlebedenko2226 I'll try it for sure, thanks for the advice! Yeah dude, distorted tones are waaayyy easier for me

@@simonjoudon I'm the opposite. Finding a way to mimic metal tone is way too complicated for me :D

​@@vladimirlebedenko2226 haha fair, we all gotta struggle with something
