Hi GT,

https://soundcloud.com/rgx312l/cover-of-europa

This is a 2nd try at this song. I tried to clean up the playing as much as I could.

This is a pseudo PRS sound from my stock Ibanez RG 370 through the ME 80.

Weekend is here! Rock on!

RGX

Sounds fantastic! It's great how you built it up as the track went on. I enjoyed listening to that quite a bit.

Thanks for noticing that. I was trying for that approach.

I started by totally applying no vibrato at all - and I found that it was not easy. Surprised me.

When you are used to adding vibrato a lot, I can understand how it would be hard to not do it.

I like to use a lot of bends and vibrato. When I try to play without those, I feel as though I'm playing with my hands tied behind my back. Probably a good exercise to go through occasionally to force yourself to do things differently and come up with new ideas.
