New song! King's X soundalike :)

[CGord]

A few of us at the Harmony Central Guitar Jam forums were geeking out on our King's X love when I decided to try & see if I could get something similar to their sound. One of the guys liked the 8 bar sample I posted enough to volunteer for vocal & lead guit duties on the completed song. His name on the boards is micwalt, & this dude simply smokes. I'll tell you what, I shit my pants the first time I heard the background vox kick in, let alone the solo.

So here 'tis: Set You Free

I used my Squier '51 on this, tuned to open C major. It's the bridge humbucker in split coil mode + the neck single coil. Amp model (GuitarPort) is the 6505 II with the 4x12 v30 cab. Bass is my Ibby SR500 through the Big Bottom model.

Hope ya dig it!

Oh dude you da man! This is the sorta sound I been goin for with my sideproject God The Bounty Hunter (ignore the horrible mix/tone on that song, it's getting redone soon!)

Vocals are a bit dry though I think man, need a bit of reverb or something to just sink them back a bit into the mix. Badass mix/tone though

Haha undeniably king's x! I agree with mattayus though, about putting a touch more reverb on the vocals.

Sounds killer though

Sick solo. Enjoyable song

I actually have a Lab Series L5, and the cleans are amazing for being a SS amp
