A vid of me messing around on the 7

[Shawn]

I was bored so I taped myself noodling around. It was right before practice.

Great playing there Shawn! Other than the fizziness from the camera's mic overloading it sounds great too!

[RgAscendant]

Awesome sense of melody!

 

[Vince]

nice little sweeps in there! Ibanez S-series BP for the win!

 

[Shawn]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, Vince, I love my S 7420 alot more now the more I play it. It's been set up real nice and it's very comfortable. I also love the sound of the Mahogany and the neck pickup sounds really nice. I think the bridge pickup could use a replacement however.

The video camera made the audio sound a little fizzy (because of how loud the amp was?), but, besides that, really nice playing, cool sweeps, and a really nice guitar!

I strongly suggest a Seymour Duncan JB for the bridge. It's an absolutely sweet sounding pickup and perfect for that heavy mahogany guitar. That's what I use, and while I prefer a more midrange-heavy pickup for live use, the JB in a mahogany S series is my main recording guitar. It just sounds heavy and tight with an amazing lead sound.

 

[Ryan]

o fun! nice playing ;D

 

[Blexican]

Awesome!

 

[Michael]

Awesome playing Shawn. Lots a of cool licks in there.

 

[Shawn]

Thanks, Mike! You got nice chops too, i've seen those vids.

You used it for "Screaming Into The Abyss"? If so, that's a badass sound and of course Spirits Rise is the heaviest, throwdown tune. The V7 stock bridge pickup seems to be missing something.

Naren, you're right. That amp is on volume 1 too. !

I was just noodlin' around. I want to incorporate an intro/solo like this. Eric Johnson was doing this back in the Electromagnets days and he does it on Cliffs Of Dover.

Cool video. It came out good but the amp was loud. Nice to see my kit in the video too.

 

[Faine]

Do you actually use the Low B.

 

[Shawn]

Thanks!

Yeah I did use the low B there for a second, didn't you hear it?

 

[amonb]

I was wondering what string guage you use Shawn? And do you have the action set real low?

 

[Shawn]

Yeah, that S 7420 is setup real nice (thanks, Bill. ). It is probably my best playing 7 as of now. Something with the Lo TRS (I know, crappy trem), you can set them up nice. I use D'Addario 9-52s. Great strings!

 

[Toshiro]

Great vid Shawn.

 

[Shawn]

Thanks!

 

[BCrowell]

Holy cannoli, you've really got some killer lead chops now man! You've always been a great player, with a keen melodic sense, and you keep getting better! DAMN YOU!

I think you need to find a nice girl, settle down, and have a few kids, then maybe the rest of us can catch up!
