GetGood Modern Fusion Drums First Test
Переглядів 3082 роки тому
Here’s my first riff really recorded with the @getgooddrums One Kit Wonder Modern Fusion drum program. I think it’s sounding fantastic and inspiring me a lot already. It was a pleasure meeting @mishaperiphery and @mattperiphery as they showed me their setup at @sweetwatersound. I wrote my whole @celestialframemusic album with Superior Drummer 3 (which is still awesome), but these kits are a gre...

Dude! Shades of Satriani! Very nice. How did u get ur tone? Im very interested, because im picking up one of these guitars this week! Im fkn STOKED!
Thanks man! I’m usually pulling up either a Friedman BE or Revv amp model with a Tube screamer in front of it and then reverb and delay.
@@ChristianArnoldMusic thanks brother!
The hi hat bro ? Good job though 👊
Actually clicked to take a look at the guitar but your song was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely check our more of your band.
Thanks!
Just had a listen to your album from 5 years ago. Can't believe it has so few views. Pretty good stuff.@@ChristianArnoldMusic
Thanks! Yeah I just do it for fun so I never really tried to market it too much. Appreciate the listen!
This would be breaking Benjamin if they used 8 strings typa sound 💀
Yeah I’m definitely putting this in my 8 string collection. Right now I have a schecter omen elite 8. I want this and the meshuggah m80m. Your riffs sound evil af
Would you recommend this for a first 8 string? Should I stick with a quality 7 or baritone?
If you can afford it and you’re serious about playing an 8, get this one! If you’re unsure if you are really going down the 8 string path, I’d say stick with 7 or a baritone.
Lovely guitar. Worth it over the older RG 350/550?
I like the channel and have that exact guitar and love it, was the first thing you played inspired by King Crimson? It sorta sounded a bit like a song called Frame By Frame.....
can you give your captures revv amp?
Sounds fantastic bro Which amp & cab model did you use on the helix ?
Wow that was a long time ago. Probably a Friedman and a 4x12 v30 cab.
@@ChristianArnoldMusic Ahhh ok Still waiting for your video for Axe fx III vs Hx stomp and talking about both the units in terms of amp model sounds , dynamic response and Tone feel on both the units. Cheers from India 🇮🇳 😊✌🏻❤️🎸
Hi great sound. What amp in this video ?
Sounds great keep it up. I hear a lot of Aaron Marshall influence in there.
Preset available???
nice playing, i plan to buy this guitar, do you know if it can handle 80-85 string gauge without modifying it? have a nice day.
Awesome! Thank you!!
Hey dude do you still like/have this? Im omw to pick up a used one for 1100 with hardcase... it seems to be in the same condition as yours. A couple minor blemishes and only on the back.
I still love mine!
Dude this thing instantly became the crown jewel of my collection... the playability is on another level. How's the figuring from the African mahogany on the back? It took a couple days for me to notice cuz I was looking at the top, but holy shi-t does the back of it move. I've had it for a couple weeks now and I'm still astonished by everything about it. Lol I still can't believe it's mine!
@@kiezersosay49 You just made me order one hahah, was considering getting a Costum series - But they seem to be out of stock like bloody always.. and this way i have money to spare for a Charvel Jim Root aswell! =D. Hope it won't dissapoint!
@@willtweed4189 nice nice. I can't speak on the fusion edge PUs cuz the one I got had SDs put in, but it's so damn nice to play. Forget the bees knees... it's the duck's nuts! Damn near plays itself and it screams quality in every aspect.
how about you with Quad Cortex sound quality?
sounds Dope man 🤘
Thanks!
very nice, i use the automation feature its a killer
Hello. I am just like most that are thinking about a 7 string. I just turned 60???? A old metal head that never played a 7 string and I don't want to spend a lot cash on my first one just to find its not for me. However, from my experience, I don't want the low price (quality of parts) to hinder my first time experience with a 7 string for not spending more. I watched just about every video on this guitar and haven't commented on any video but yours. I am about to pull the trigger on a purchase. I have two questions. Are you finding yourself tuning the guitar more than playing it and Have you tried drop tuning the B string and how was the tuning holding up? Thanks.
Hi. Honestly I have so many hi quality guitars this one doesn’t get played much. Basically just keeping it around in case my kid ever wants to play a 7 string. If you can invest a little more, you’ll enjoy the feel of the instrument more, but if not, this one will at least help you decide if you like 7s. I usually do drop A and it works fine for that. Tuning is on par with a lot of hard tail guitars. I prefer locking trems because I like the bar and because the tuning is more stable.
@@ChristianArnoldMusic thanks for your reply. Sorta sounds like the guitar may be a waste of cash but spending more means more of a commitment on my part to learn and like the experience of a 7 string. Lol..... now i have something else to consider. Thanks again.
You gotta use a load box even for direct captures on tube amps my guy. You're going to blow up your amp.
Nah I’m good with this one.
Has a load box built in it. Boutique amp
It's loud?
Hello Christian, how can we have guitar tabs of this wonderful song. Thanks in advance :)
Unfortunately they don’t exist. Sorry about that that but thanks for enjoying my song.
Con micrófono de condensador, tiene fallas, no da el suficiente voltaje y se corta a cada rato
cool riffing brotha!
Hey Chris-I have a question about your LoopyHD + Helix setup (I see I'm not the only one :)-how would you set this up with a PA for live looping? I see the helix connects to the ipad via camera connection kit, but from where would the output connect to a PA ?
The output of the Helix goes to the PA system. The iPad audio goes through the usb cable out of the Helix.
@@ChristianArnoldMusic Thanks so much for clarifying, and for making this video in the first place (I never would've known this was possible)!! 🙏
I have this exaxt guitar too! Amazing piece. I agree about the finish, I would rather have a wood finish with laquer. Also, my humbuckers are changed to IBZ/USA F1 and F2. Someday I'll try an S series and see if I like that sleek body more. The Prestige level is definitely good enough fot anyone! The best part is clearly the neck.
Hey I Just discover your channel, very cool playing man! New Sub ;)
What are your thoughts on the scale length? I was surprised to see that it is 25.5”, while most 7 strings are 26.5” or more.
Most 7 strings are actually 25.5.
do you have a link to the product page?
I love Theocracy, you are the first one I have seen covering their stuff... well done.
dude.. thats so cool...
sick bro, been looking into these newer RG's very cool...defiantly seems like the way to go with what i want out of a guitar sexy and and super easy playability.also wow! love your original music plini/aaron marshall vibes.
Aw thanks Myles! They are both big influences on me. I’m an Ibanez nut so let me know if you have any other questions about them.
@@ChristianArnoldMusic your welcome 🙂 I just want know to know how easy bending/vibrato is on RG’s because of the flat radius apparently bending/vibrato is a lot easier it looks like it in your video? I really don’t like that fighting with strings when doing bending and vibrato and I’ve yet to find a guitar that offers easy bending/vibrato it’s something that turns me off alot from playing guitars…
It’s easy for me on them! :-)
Love it!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice Job Brother .. !!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
And...when compared to the Axe FX, which one is best?
So far I’d say the AxeFXIII is still better in the sense that there are more effects and more twealability of those amps and effects, but the ease of use is better on the QC. Basically the QC is axefxiii level feel and sound quality but Helix ease of use, almost. Helix is still easier to use in my opinion.
Coolest basement ever
Please do make a review and a demo video talking about the axe fx 3 over the helix. I have a helix LT but I don’t know why after I tried Axe fx 2 I felt that the fractal had lot more dynamic response, transparency and a massive tone feel difference. Fractal felt very responsive and organic. And I switched over to the helix and it felt bad I didn’t like the feel on the unit. So now I was thinking to switch over to Fm9 turbo. Please share your thoughts on Axefx3🙏🏼 I need your guidance
Thanks for the comment! I will definitely look into doing something like this… especially after I just got a real amp after not having one for a long time (Revv Generator MKiii) and the Quad Cortex. So much good tone!
@@ChristianArnoldMusicPlease do play both Axe fx 3 and Hx stomp side by side and let us know your thoughts on both the unit in terms of amp models and dynamic response 🙌🏻🎸
What do you think between the Helix and the Axefx3 in terms of amp sound quality and the tone feel on both units ?
Hey Chris, Grrr8 review on the Ibanez...!!! I am surprised at the tonal quality of the pickups... Owning many guitars, this will be my very first 7 string. Mind you, I am a 70yrs young metal head still making it happen...!!! I ordered this guitar today from Amazon. Dieing to work with 7 string riffs. Creating new sounds at different tunings is always a pleasure 😁 Thanks for this very fine review! 🤘💯
Thanks for the comment! Let them 7 string banger riffs flow!
chords were muddy with gain but leads sounded amazing
Just bought one, you sound great 👊
Thanks!
@Christian Arnold What guitar amp are you using? I'm impressed with the tone! Are you using the Line 6 Spider V? If not, what guitar imulator are you using on the computer? And is that particular program free for windows 11? I'm a guitarist, and am interested in getting a similar guitar tone, whether it's using my new Line 6 Spider V60 MK II I'm in the process in buying soon. Or whether it's tweeking some parameters in future guitar plug-ins on my new Windows 11 laptop that I'll be getting soon! I never plyaed this guitar before. But I'd like to know, how's the tuning stability? If I get this guitar, I can't wait to play this while it's plugged into my line 6 amp! I'm a peavey guy, coming out of the peavey world since I'm selling my Vypyr VIP 2. Time to expore new tones as a guitarist for me! Keep it metal brother!
Great playing. Great sound. and the compo is really cool as well.
Thanks!
Very nice tune,,,I enjoyed it had a catchy hook too !! On the guitar,,,how do you like the neck profile ? Is it a heavy, bulky guitar ? It's universally hailed as the ultimate shredder. 🎨🎭🎸🎶🎵🎼
Thanks! Neck is definitely thin like I like these.
This is the first pink color guitar that I like. Which model is this Ibanez?
Thanks! RGR5227
Great playing sir
That guitar is so freaking sick dude holy shit
Great job Brother !!
Thanks, Jimmy!!
Incredible
Thanks man!
