Bro you're only 14 and already one of my biggest inspirations as guitar player. I already picked up a rgd and modded it for 74 evertune set. Keep it up man, loving the journey.

[@_rekak]

thanks man! glad you like my music and feel inspired by it!

intro riff is so catchy and that motif at 0:17

all plugins are free if you know where to look

[@matildagreene]

Dude this is mental!! I'll be using some of these plugins in my own compositions now based on how good it sounds. You've got a promising career ahead of you

[@_rekak]

thank you! the sound you can get with free plugins is the same quality, if not even sometimes better than paid plugins. most of the plugins i use in my normal productions are actually free

[@ruslan_kvtvnv]

So good man. I really like using the PD demo kit blended with the Restrains Kit along with other drum samples too!

Hey dude, this is epic! Could you make a Reaper template out of this? It's amazing how good it sounds!

i actually wanted to make this a template but i thought it would be a problem with loading the drums and drum samples, so i would make this a template if i knew how to do it properly

What pitch shift plugin do you use?

i chop up the take in reaper and pitch it how i want, i also have a digitech drop pedal which i used in other videos

[@momentArhythm]

how are you using the melda ring mod? sounds crazy

[@_rekak]

im using it before the amp, mix at 100% and set to about 40 hz (i recommend that you set it to about the root note of the scale your playing in, although you can experiment and see what you like)

[@mih9176]

Do you do deathcore? I'm a 15y.o vocalist and be needing a guitarist rn💀

[@_rekak]

i rarely do deathcore, i do more thall, djent, metalcore type of stuff

[@lastname2139]

how do you manage using all of those plugins. that sounds so frustrating and complicated

[@_rekak]

for me there is nothing frustrating about using free plugins cause most of the plugins i use in my productions are free, apart from like 3 plugins and 2 sample libraries

Also do you have any recommendations for a 7 string in the 300-700 range
I’m someone abt ur age too, I’ve been able to write some decent post-hardcore riffs on my 6 string maxing at like drop b, but when it comes to modern drop e prog metalcore I can only dream

[@_rekak]

@@imjamnotjelly thanks man! for a 7 string, 8 string or baritone in that price range you can buy a harley benton probably, never played a harley benton but i heard they are pretty good for the price

Nice sound, but the pickups are not for free! kkkkkkk o/

you can get a similar sound to fishmans with an ibanez gio for 200 bucks and an eq before the amp
