The intro/outro is at 140bpm, and the rest of the song is at 148bpm. 4/4 (possibly 8/8). Standard Drop-D tuning, but it shouldn't mess with your lead.


PRS comes through again. :) Have fun guys!

That's a really sweet backing track, it'll be fun to play over, nice job

Definitely a brilliant backing track, Eric, it almost stands alone - which is going to make it really hard for me to come up with an idea. If I can think of something in the next week or so, I'll have a shot.

Nice...how'd you record it. Gear wise?

Wow :eek:! Thanks guys! I wasn't expecting all that! :o

@Eric... The guitar on the left was a PRS Custom 22, the guitar on the right was a stock Fender MIM Tele. The PRS went through an MXR 6-band EQ pedal and then into a PODxt set to the "Modern Hi-Gain" model, then into a Behringer DEQ2496, and then to the soundcard (Presonus Firebox). The Tele went through the EQ pedal with the same settings, then an MXR Wylde Overdrive, and then to the same PODxt amp model, but with different settings, then to the DEQ2496 with the same settings. The bass had the same signal chain, but obviously different settings (minus the overdrive and EQ pedals). Recording software was Sonar 3 PE, Drums were done with Battery, and arranged by Akira.

@Fender... Not sure what key it's in. :o

Here is my characteristically dodgy improvised take :o. I was sick of studying.

Great job, Billy! I was hooked right from that awesome note-based riff at the beginning. The solos were perfectly arranged and had some brilliant licks, especially in the second verse. I think I'll just give up the guitar now... :P
Awesome work!

Once again, cool take, Equator! Loved the bent harmonics at the end in particular, I'll have to use some of those in future :cool:.

Nice solo equator one or two parts need a bit of work but not too bad.. and your guitar sounded ever so slightly out of tune but once again great note choice and a good take!!

I liked your take a lot, nice wah tone.
