Fourish Four

By LowbrowAnthony on February 2, 2014 11:18 pm

Got a late start on this week's.  Hit a serious rut with a riff not in 4/4.  Decided to write a 4/4 riff and work off of that into other time signatures, and it turned into this.  Finished writing it Saturday night, tracked it this morning.

This is actually the first song I've recorded with my Seven String.  Learned a few important lessons:
1. The pickups in this thing suck, so sorry for the meh guitar tones.
2. The intonation on a $400 seven string is questionable at best (even when properly intonated)
3. I only have a 4 string bass, which makes tracking bass an adventure.

There's a flub in there that I missed somehow, but I'm out of time, so let's just say it's a one time djenty palm mute.

Gear Used:
Guitar - Ibanez RG7321, Music Man Stingray
Amp - Kemper (5153, 5150, and Marshall JVM profiles for guitars.  Ampeg SVT3 for bass (transposed down a half step).
Drums - EZ Drummer with Metal Machine Expansion
Software - Sonar, Fab Filter EQ and Comp, Ozone 5

Nice guitar. Did you make a deal with the robot devil?

I came via referral of a guy named checkTHISprivilege. awesome shit you got here! I'd love a bit more hand-made music here on weeklybeats

\mmmmmmmmm/

i knew this would sound beastly. you rock,  man.

Sweet riffs! It seems we have very similar ideas when it comes to melodic content and chord progressions (as well as genres). Your style seems a lot more developed than mine though! Something to work towards, I guess. Nice work!

I'm really into this. Keep that 7 string.

Mad guitar skills and sweet as track!

That's all I make, so plenty more where that came from.

Thanks man.  This is actually not my genre or comfort zone at all, so it's fun for me (though you can hear my tendencies in the final product).

I've had it forever, but it's always served as more of a inspiration for new tracks than actually using it to track (if not for Weekly Beats, I would have converted this to a Lowbrow song, no doubt).  Hope you're doing well buddy smile

fuck yeah!

nice
