I wouldn't dare saying star-shapes or V's are built for comfort ;) When switching from strats my right arm always feels awkward because of the support under the elbow. After some time human body accommodate and the arm find correct position. It's not visible on this video (it was recorded so long ago...) but I tend to lay my forearm in a kind of narrow X shape along the upper part of the guitar - this way I keep consistent arm resting position for strat and warrior. As for keeping guitar on right thigh in my experience it only takes a little effort to get used to bend the right arm a little behind the back. Guitar on the left thigh forces me to bend half of my body, so that's why I prefer the other one, I guess. As I love V's I'm too afraid to try playing on those shapes just because due to limited support it's almost impossible to keep it stable on right leg, especially without a strap 😅 Anyway, thanks for the comment, now you made me think about finally trying V's 🤘

@@avalan_che I'm aware that most people think and says that V's are absolutely uncomfortable but I've never had problem, even when I first played Epiphone Flying V somehow I knew how to hold it. The most important thing you must realise is you have to hold the bottom arm of guitar body between legs, then you can play really comfortable. A strap is useful but not necessary - it will keep neck a bit higher. I'm pointing that because once I saw my brother trying to hold it like casual guitar but in case of V's it just look ridiculus and doesn't work well. So if you wanna give it a chanse - don't even try to put it on right leg XD I'm not sure how it is with Randy Rhoads style, where bottom arm is much smaller. Idk if it will stay in place between legs, but it works for Flying V or King V. I think V's are worth to try, especially when you like apperance of that shape. Just remember my small advices and maybe check if you don't have any V guitars in local music shops. Btw if you wanna buy Jackson JS32 King V, as I have, I recommend to move one of strap hook closer to the neck. In it's original position, just behind neck bolts it's not really well ballanced so neck is diving. If you move it, it will be more stable, maybe in more expensive Jackson series it's better placed

No i namówiłeś ;)

@@avalan_che o cholera XD

sorry, i've been recording it the noob way - by simply playing on top of original recording

@@avalan_che than it’s even greater ! Good job mate

When I bought mine it had pretty much the same strings, tens or nines, I don't remember exactly, but it was tuned to E so the regular strings made sense. The thing is when you start using as low tunings as B the regular strings are getting too loose, so I've changed the strings to baritone 13-62.

hah! nice catch :) it's my personal touch, and since i've been aiming to get as deep sound as i could i was tempted to go as low as the bass - hence the low b string

@@avalan_che That is awesome and sounded great considering the notes are all right. In a band setting with a distorrted and chorus heavy bass sound like Peter had it could be a little too much, but since its a guitar cover it sounded amazing!

yeah, on YT I don't have to worry about making bassist redundant ;) but I totally agree, in a band it would be undesirable to interfere in a such way

I wonder how do you perceive it? Is it good or is it too much? The goal was to create as powerful tone as possible but with such experiments there is always a risk to go one bridge too far :)

@@avalan_che it’s great. Don’t change it!

In my head, unfortunately ;) It's definitely far from perfect, I couldn't figure out some parts, so I've made it to sound "close enough". It's a good ear training, TBH :)

@@avalan_che I’ll be honest I feared having to do it by ear myself. I have the chords but the picking pattern doesn’t seem to follow the chords, or maybe I’m just not looking at the right tab

If you figure out how to play it properly, let me know. There are few parts I wasn't able to decipher, unfortunately.

Oh yes please. I need the riff from the Freakshow

Thanks! I have one or two more songs queued up, but given my time constrains please don't have any expectations to see them in coming weeks...

Haha, I hoped no one will notice my short absence, still glad I was not forgotten :). Thanks for the feedback that there is at least some value in my work here, even smallest spark of inspiration is way bigger impact I had imagined to achieve here. I promise to catch up with your covers asap!

Can you send us the chords? Nice work ;-)

Consider this to be just a start of learning :) I recorded this right after they published the song, without putting a lot of time into validating if it's played correctly and clearly, so it's perfectly reasonable to question everything you see/hear there: starting from if I really played all the notes, through played notes accuracy, to used tuning. Anyway, I'm so glad recording this not only was a pleasure for me, but someone actually found it useful (to some degree) 🤘

thanks! there is hardly any secret there: baritone with proper (baritone) strings and a lot of time spend working with tone modeler (if you use AmpliTube there's a preset available I published for this song)

thanks! its b standard, as probably most of Type O repertoire

Thanks! I've uploaded the clean preset (www.tone.net/amplitube/presets/52950 ) although keep in my mind that the recorded clean sound is a result of overlaying my tone on top of original acoustic one. I haven't found any other way to have the real acoustic mixture of cleanliness and sharpness coming through AmpliTube so I just embraced the defeat and tried to enrich the original sound. If you find a way to get closer to the original tone (either with or without my tone) you HAVE to let me know :)

They used a 12-string acoustic for that part so...

I'm a completely biased towards digitalized signals (for better or for worse), so the setup is as follows: - guitar connected via iRig HD2 to PC/Mac (iRig 2 works too and is crazy cheap) - tone modeler, like AmpliTube etc so we can shape the guitar signal - if using a PC: ASIO4ALL driver and a sound loopback enabled (this requires substantial amount of time to set up) - loopback needed to mix 2 sound signals, one from guitar and the other from YT/Spotify/whatever you use for music playback) - if Mac: BlackHole audio loopback driver - to get the same ability as with PC: to mix multiple inputs into a single output we can record - this is my preference as its dead easy to setup up - a recorder (audio+video) - here I use OBS to actually listen for guitar signal (after it gets through iRig and AmpliTube) AND for music playback and treat it as a single recording this setup is not ideal though, it's introducing a bit of latency (some people say that even "a bit" is too much) so if you care for the natural, organic feel of playing more than the freedom to shape the sound to your liking, the "simple and lazy" mic setup might be a lot better. Usually the simple things are superior, so don't throw your method out so easily :)

@avalan_che yeah ty for info! I mean I'm 49 now, started late. Busy with work, other things. So this is just quick for me. The positive I suppose is that it shows I'm playing real and raw, one take , no tweaking etc . Just raw jamming with song. Just Pretend it sounds like you recorded a concert performance with a phone lol 😆

I started this channel to motivate myself to improve my crappy playing, never thought anything here can be a value enough to be an inspiration to anyone! Please, do covers of SoM! :)

@@avalan_che I'm gonna do this and that nightwish song! You did great! Fun rockers!

Good question, it was D Standard if I recall.

@@avalan_che thank you so much
