It’s been awhile since I’ve upgraded my home studio, so today I wanted to take you along to my local Guitar Center. Special thanks to the guys over there- we tested and decided on Mackie hr824mk2 monitors and a few guitars: a Warwick Corvette 4 String Bass, Taylor 110 Dreadnought Acoustic, and a Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe Electric. A bit of musical indulgence, I know, but I believe in rewarding hard work with some fun. The place is coming together nicely! Visit me here: www.mdltakesover.com
This is a run through some of the various guitar parts and solo from Siberian Khatru by YES (Steve Howe ). I haven´t done every part, but this is enough to get you up and running. I´ve tried to play the parts normal speed then slower in order that it´s easier to hear and see how it´s played. My guitar is an Epiphone ES175 re-issue with Seth Lover pick-ups, played into an AER Compact Mobile amp, via a Line6 pocketpod using a slightly modified ´Line 6 Clean `patch. I just added a little more drive. I cannot recommend this guitar highly enough as an alternative to a Gibson.
