Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is a Steve Vai inspired tapping lick that's not too hard, but sounds cool when played fast. Drums, bass and guitar were all recorded with software from Toontrack (http://www.toontrack.com) and I used EZmix2, EZdrummer with EZX Metal Machine.
For the rhythm guitars, I used Metal Amps preset pack. The amp presets were:
Rhythm guitar, left channel preset - "herbs".
Rhythm guitar right channel preset - "megalomaniac".
But the guitars were not panned 100% left/right; they were blended a bit.
I recorded midi bass in Logic Pro, and I used the "Hellbass" from EZmix2.
For he arpeggiated chord, I used the preset "Fredrik - Clean Too" from Metal Guitar Gods.
The tapping lick preset was "IA - Solo 1" from Metal Guitar Gods.
Hope you enjoyed this!
