  • Here is a full song playthrough for Removal of the Oaken Stake to go along with the lesson for today on Shred Light District where I detail all of the riffs, harmonies, and my songwriting strategy to put this whole tune together!
    That lesson can be found below:
    / 86165881
    To make this video, I recorded a live take playing through the whole song over the drum and bass stems, which you see here, then I added in some FX in my DAW and tracked all the missing harmonies and mixed them in low. No miming! The tone is a NAM capture of my 100w EVH 5153 EL34 head and matching cab with some SM57s.

      For sure. Beyond that, his vibrato is never too quick and shrill for the song. It ebbs and flows and around the tempo for emphasis for the needed phrasing.

    Oh here he is again with another banger! Love the melodies in this one, but I also have noticed how there's always a classical edge to a lot of the key changes to both your leads and melodies. A lot of players go nuts with it, but you use a subtle amount which keeps it interesting and add flavour.
    Not sure any of that made sense, but I'm loving it basically👍

    • @BrandonEllisGtr
      @BrandonEllisGtr  Před rokem +8

      I am going into a DI box into my interface but also sending it thru to my real amps. The iconic is dialed in the way I like to hear myself in the room and I am just using it for monitoring. I guess I could have easily just recorded a mic on the cab instead of using NAM but it was just convenient to commit to one of my captures to get a nice mix going quickly rather than... I would probably have been tempted to spend all day turning knobs and moving mics being a perfectionist with the real gear.

      I haven't listened to Iron Maiden much, but I don't think his stuff is similar to what they did. Yes, he implements some things used by Iron Maiden, such as harmonies between two guitars in thirds and he certainly was influenced by metal bands from 80's and 90's but I can't say he has Maiden in his playing style.
