Show Me Your Riffs

[ElKabong]

Just heard a piece from a band called The North 41. A funky version of Sandman. I confess my intent to twist it into my own. Here's where I'm at so far. Not sure how to post a link in here yet. It's in the cellar high on the list at the moment.

That yellow guitar sounds pretty good. But your videos are short.
I am never going to rest until I hear the guitar in a mix.

Also, I have a problem with fonts:
I don't know whether you are ELK/elk or EIK/eik.
Elk or Eik.
I am never going to rest until I know.

Elk a bong - like Alcatraz
or
Eik a bong - like Ike and Tina

@ElKabong
I am not familiar with the piece, so I really can’t answer you.

It will become clear if he sings along with it.
The melody is well known and should be easy enough for anybody to sing.
Also, if the rest of the band is playing it doesn't matter so much if the guitar can't insert every detail into every chord.
You just wing it.

Any idea how to do that? Do you mean make them happen more?

I have this amp dialed in to sound like a Marshall. 😆

I don't understand you Max.
What do you mean when you say "I have this amp dialed in to sound like a Marshall..."?
According to your gear list/sig you have about six Marshalls.
Are we talking about software here?

In any case, it's difficult to say what's good about a guitar tone in isolation. If there is some bass and drums we can hear how the guitar fits in.
I know, I know: not everyone thinks the same way about it.

Only a joke about a Marshall dialed in to sound like a Marshall as what else would it sound like? A tweed? 😂

A Tweed? Sure. Or a Bassman.
When I dial in my JCM 900 DR clean it's a Fender.
My theory is that any of them big old Marshalls capable of a clean sound have a Bassman hiding inside. You might have to search for it but it's there.

Yeah, the Origin can get you there also. I think I remember scooping the mids on a clean setting. That Marshall is not as scooped and has more mids.

I was using my EVH 5150III just this few hours ago and I had it on the clean channel. Fender amp and has that Fender sound but again with the mids scooped down.

Short is sweet for videos, my ADD kicks in really fast!

What pickups are in that amazing V in great hands?

Here is something I did on my Spark Go. You'll know this one.

They are the dirty fingers.. thanks for the compliment .

@Maxbrothman
It’s a 2018 all stock, all I did to it was change the strings to EB 10–46 and lower the bridge pickup a little bit.
And I am looking for another one.. because of the bite it possesses.

All I have to do is secure the funds for its backup.

just messing around on a riff. Signal chain is: 2022 50's lp standard, morley wha (just on the weedley bit), sonicake reverb, marshall or20h, orange ppc112 cab (12" v30).

amp settings are:
power-middle
pres-max
master-6.5
treb-max
mid-max
bass-4.5
tilt-max
gain-max, boost off.

settings seem extreme but my les paul is a little dark sounding.
