Pantera The Sleep Hardly Acoustic Cover
I'm playing Pantera - The Sleep solo section, only it's slightly more acoustic. So it's the Hardly Acoustic Cover.
Dimebag was such a legend! There were some really interesting parts to learn! This is my favorite Dimebag solo, so it's also the best Dimebag solo!
GEAR:
ACOUSTIC - B.C. Rich Prophecy acoustic into a Warm Audio WA87 rev2, and a clean Universal Audio Apollo preamp with no unison. Acoustics were unaffected in the mix except for slight compression hitting about max 3db gain reduction with an API 2500 plugin, also by Universal Audio.
LEAD GUITAR - B.C. Rich Prophecy Extreme 2021 model, through a Kemper using my own Framus profile, and some minimal volume automation.
BASS - Music Man Stingray, Geddy Lee Sans Amp pedal, Kemper, no effects on the mix except Universal Audio Brigade Chorus
DRUMS - Naughty Seal Perfect Drums
I'm not endorsed by any of the brands. I'd like to be, but we gotta get these numbers up!

    I have the trans blood red one. It’s an amazing guitar. I highly recommend these guitars. Mine was PERFECT right out of the box and it’s a great playing and sounding guitar. Also, I have to say the tap in the tone knob is just right and I’ve never heard better Duncan pups. If you’re not getting a great sound clean, dirty, and completely distorted, I just don’t know what to tell you. Playing through a plexi or jcm800 is pure heaven. The clarity and note definition is second to none. I have a percussive picking style and this guitar says exactly what I want it to. It bugs me to hear any negative feedback on these because I really can’t stress how great this thing was right out of the box. I work on these things as a side gig and have set up a lot of guitars, and I’ve never been more impressed with a factory setup. I realize everyone isn’t going to have the same experience, but mine was great. I can’t recommend solar enough. Imo this is the answer for a guitarist that’s on a budget but needs a pro level instrument. Check them out.

    Such a great video. I appreciate the honest feedback. I am getting back into guitar after a 15 year hiatus and my son is learning to play now. I picked one of these up even though I know it’s overkill for my skill level. It makes me want to pick it up everyday though which no other guitar does. What amp would you suggest for jamming at home?

      @jessebillson 2 місяці тому

      @jphalfshady I love to hear when someone has an instrument that makes them want to play! Awesome!! I'm guessing you're playing metal with a guitar like this. Me personally if money is no issue then I'm going with an engl or diezel amp. Below that I'm going with a kemper, below that probably a line 6 HX, below that I'm probably looking at a plugin like what's made by neural dsp. And below that I'd be looking at the free digital amp plugins that get included in a daw. You could follow the amp options into something like a mesa boogie 1x12, and that would be pretty awesome and cheap.

      @mandarronious I have about 50 guitars, overall this one is in a 3-way tie for first. Ties go to an original Jackson with serial number 1000, and a bc rich gunslinger from 2010, which I never thought about it until right now, was hand made by Grover jackson. The mock lacks some low end, but surprisingly, that becomes a feature because that makes it fit in every mix with less work.

      @@jessebillson wow thats high praise. It's such a sick guitar. My only concern is the evertune bridge because I switch tunings a lot. I know they have a Floydrose model but I've never been a fan of that bridge.

    • @jessebillson
      @jessebillson 3 місяці тому

      If you switch tunings a lot, you'll want to figure something out or go a different route. I keep this one in standard, but with an option to drop D. If i couple thar with the transpose function on the kemper, im good for a fairly wide range of tuning, but if youre looking for other tuning options, id probably just look at something with a hipshot bridge. Btw, All the strings besides the lowest are just inside the bend threshold, so that I can dig into playing rhythms without any pitch deviation, but I can also bend notes. I can not play this guitar for a month, and know with confidence that when I go to record with it, that I can grab it and go, with no hesitation. One other thing, the guitar is fairly heavy. The evertune is a large piece of machinery.

The warlocks sounded a tad better to me, but I can't justify having more than one warlock, and my oldest one just has more sentiment to me. Anyway, if I can help with any questions you might have, let me know.

    Hey Jesse, awesome tone and tehnique. I see that your info says "Kemper Profiler, forgot which profile" ... but could you be able to remember which one was it or at least recommend which amp and cabinet combo to use on Kemper to at least get into that direction of dialing a similar profile patch? Thanks. I am a new kemper user and all clean, crunch, OD sounds are awesome but have trouble getting a decent solo tone like you are using in this video. And also, if I may ask 1 more thing was the guitar in standard tuning? Thank you

      Oh this was a while ago, so I don't remember much about it now. I was using the lasse lammert profiles a lot during this time, so maybe you could try those. I was recording direct in, no cab. I think this was tuned to drop C#, but it should be easy enough to decipher that.

Check the grounding wire that goes to the back (metal part that holds the springs) and I believe another one should be connected to the body with a screw when you raise the pickguard. Most of these come from Mexico factory and they are very sloppy when it comes to finishing the guitars.

      Thank you. I tend to like modern features and new frets. I've worn out plenty of frets, making the guitars not play quite as well as they once did. so I feel inclined to pick the newer ones. There are some minimal differences on some body shapes that in my opinion you really have to look hard to see, but people get attached to things. Go with what you feel is right. I currently have an nj and 3 or 4 usa models as well as i think 4 of the new korean models. Surprisingly enough the Zoltan model shredzilla became my go-to, and I'm also currently using the 8 string prophecy a LOT.
