Shure it worked. It's a great song. Hey, and the guitar work is fine. A very fine alternative to the dideldideldidel high speed shredding....

I think I lost the shredder in me that I never found to begin with... Old ears can't take it.. getting to laid back here in the Carolina's... but still got a pulse... had to update this file with some squire 51 fill.. http://www.savefile.com/files/8322929 just cause I wanted to.. and was finding sumpting to do.. I havent a clue what the lead suppose to be but this worked good enough for me.. aint gonna hurt it any..I don't think.. I need to go practice practice practice...

Keep it up, Justa! No doubt you have found your style.

**Justaguyin_nc** · July 8th, 2006, 12:26 PM

I surely enjoy this stuff.. I need to go ahead and take this retirement and just sit hours on end playing and playing Like I should have as a child..sigh..

I still need to mix some blues sometimes.. this is MIMstrat62..sx57 bass and the almighty Squier 51.... Justa Slow G blues .. this stuff is so relaxing no matter how it turns out..

I finally figured out why I upload this stuff.. it keeps the pros rolling their eyes and the other beginners a reason to feel they can do better than that guy...lol.. anyways.. this one I was trying to see if I could speed it up a bit while I was passing time here and wanted to try switching pickups while playing.. hey, I have a tough time rubbing my head and patting my tummy... or is that patting my head and rubbing my tummy.... backing with Squier 51 and SX-sjb57 Bass... lead with Squier Tele..

Thanks, Justa!
I heard some licks in there that I need to learn. "Up-tempo" is something I work on all the time, but I seem to be "out of time" or my timing is always off, as I'm sure you can tell from my posts. I just try and "hide" it as best I can when I record and post my rambling pickin'.
I'm gonna try to do something "Willie" if I can. Since I'm self-taught most of my stuff isn't "right" but it's fun. Keep on pickin' and have fun. That's what I do , and it's got me through some real rough times.

Timing? Im suppose to learn timing too... sheesh!! lol.. Only time I can keep is with a Timex.. but its getting better

That's a really nice tone Justaguyin_nc... that's sounds really nice through the equipment you use. I never thought such a clear clip could be made by a PC. I may have to give mine a try. Now you've inspsired me!

**Justaguyin_nc** · August 27th, 2006, 02:21 PM

I gotta throw in my Rocky Solo wanna be sound now.... I was admiring a squier tele custom in another post on here and started thinking of ole Keiff and the rolling stones... Tried some tele sounds with my tele squier and vintage pickups..

Clip: Using Fender Cyber-Champ on Red House preset for guitar 1 and 2.. through Tele 1)Bridge lead solo and 2)Neck.. strumm'in loud in the back..

would like to find a long good backing of this song.

**oldguy** · August 27th, 2006, 02:36 PM

Nice take, Justa! Keep up the good work, I never got to play one of those cybers yet but I'll run across one eventually!

Well, I figured it's been a year here.. I have such a problem concentrating on any one group of songs or sounds.. So, this is more or less to see what I did a year from now..

I am now in the need to get a gilmour sound. DSOTM and WALL period seem to be my teenhood.. And lately I can't get off the Pink Floyd boat.. I know this is far from the Gilmour sound.. but it's my sound to date for it.. Hopefully in a year I will have it down.. This is part of the Comfortably Numb loop with me just chilling.. not trying to play gilmour.. just playing.. Used the OLP- John Petrucci stock (Which I am enjoying the stock pickups actually).. Used alot of pedals..for me anyways.. DOD Compressor, into Bad Monkey into BD-2, into IceBox, into DigiVerb and than into Fender Cyber Champ which had the delay and some Flanger... (Are you guys happy giving G.A.S. so people buy and use all this stuff?) .. I think the sound is still far far away.. probably my playing and settings.. Gilmour sounds so much more compressed and THICK.. my next two purchases will be a stand alone delay and the Electric Mistress.. then maybe the DynaComp.. I dunno.. I have a Crate PowerBlock comming and I really want to get all effects needed into stompboxes.. just to be able to make it sound the way I want in any amp or PA system.. I would love to get that deep thick sound he has.. or in the ball park anyways... time will tell... guess learning the songs note for note can't hurt either..heh.. someone take my hand and guide me...

Hi Justa,

Nice job on the solo. Your solo sounds very David Gilmour-esc with the effects you are using. If you're trying to get closer to his sound you might want to try the same thing with your Strat. Use either the neck pickup or the bridge+middle position. I noticed that you're using the Cyber Champ. That's a great amp. I used to use a CyberTwin for quite a while and I think that there are similar patches in this amp. Try using the patch called "Classic Stack" or something like that. It's a model of a Marshall. It sounds great with some delay (try the tape delay it's awesome on the Cyber amps) and it might get you very closer to his sound with your Strat.

Good luck with the tone quest, you learn a lot when you try to mimic someone else's sound.

Good job Justa. That is a pretty cool sound.

**SuperSwede** · October 29th, 2006, 12:48 AM

Nice one Justa.. very smooth!

**Lev** · October 29th, 2006, 04:07 AM

Hey Justa, I just started reading this thread today and there's a huge improvement right the way through from June to today, I can hear more confidence coming through in your playing. Excellent work on the Pink Floyd solo - keep it up!!

**Hogfullofblues** · October 29th, 2006, 12:24 PM

Nice Justa! I could not get to the savefile files for some reason (good old error 404), but the MP3's were sweet. Different tones and styles each. Yes, it is inspiring for me to hear what you have accomplished and I played so long last night my ring finger hurts again. That hasn't happened in while so I hope it means I am improving too!
Thanks to u and all...

**Justaguyin_nc** · October 29th, 2006, 07:08 PM

Thanks guys, I am working at it.. need to fix the bends some more.. need to use a neck pickup..

actually I tried both.. uploaded the bridge one.. I know not having a HiWatt , Big Muff or a Electric Mistress is going to keep me out of the ball park for awhile.. but then I got 40 more years to catch up to Gilmours hand tone anyways..lol..

Thanks Hog... The savefile feature last 30 days.. then poof.. so error 404 expected..

This forum is probably over the top on being supportive... always feel safe uploading and learning here.. The one thing I have found out within this year is that players here are of different levels and all support and get along with the other.. very rare indeed... seems like the ego is left at the door and the love of music is all that enters here.. Oh, My fingers have hurt on a steady basis for the last year.. it's a pain I can deal with..heh.. wonder if they will ever quit hurting?

No they will never quit hurting, but you will stop noticing when you become the note.

Well since that post I added a DynaComp which really made a difference in sound... also, although not a Big Muff like David got..

Umm disregard..yuck..ack... couldntt ell one from the other..
