Haven't put much up here recent, so here are two clips. Metal, compressor, chorus, lead pickup.

Strumming

strumming (mp3)
Just trying some open full strums, instead of my usual single-string picking combinations. Not great timing or much else, just trying to land it all every time.

Happy Settings

MoreMetal (mp3)

Just walking around playing tidbits once I got the pedal sounding just like I wanted, after the old Scott amp finally kicked the bucket. This is using a ton of muting using the palm of my pick hand, mostly on the bottom 4 strings.

Only using lead pickup, and picking directly over it.
Compressor, sens 4, level 5
Drive metal, gain 20, tone 5, cabinet off, level 5
EQ presense 2, treb 4, mid 4, bass 0

Stuff

train (mp3)
I like playing this kinda stuff where I'm playing a bassline and just playing with the top of the chord. Divided the tempo on the keyboard in half so it wasn't filling in over top everything.

FingerPicking Again

4FingersNoPick (mp3)
Also starting to work on using more than one finger :-) All the samples up to this point have been just been from a pick (and a couple pulloffs). This is no pick, using thumb and top 3 fingers all independently.

Rerun

MetalReprise (mp3)

Four chord progression from the metal test with another combo as the "chorus". Set to acoustic with not much else. Don't like the tone on this, sounds very weak and tinny.

Finger B Healed

KindaNirvana (mp3)
Took about 10 days to get my finger back to 100% from an "incident" with my cat. Starting to play alot more with both a bass line and a lead twill at the same time. This is just a single track with me playing along to a "disco" drum beat from the Yamaha. EQ is kinda dorked up on this, with the bottom 2 strings overpowering the rest... but it doesn't sound too bad, once you start gazing at your shoes. :-)
