Hey folks,
I've just recorded the middle solo section to Cliffs of Dover. Would appreciate any criticism/comments (mostly related to tone/recording quality, since I'm trying to learn that now) but playing comments are appreciated too.
I recorded the guitar with an SM57 mic (Suhr Corso ampdhead + two Blackstar 1x12 cabinets, I mic'ed the top one) and I blended in a bit of the DI signal (from the Corso's line out, into a Torpedo CAB cabinet simulator) into a Scarlett 2i2 which goes to Logic Pro.
Thanks and Cheers!

Very nice ! I've just compared with with original track fiew tim
Very nice ! I've just compared with with original track fiew times, and this is my opinion:
First I would add just a hair more of distortion (the guitar will sing more and you'll play easier) and then roll off treble a bit, Then, be a little more free with delay and I think you'll be there as for the sound.
It was recorded with 335, so I don't know which guitar you use but it doesn't really matter. Keep going, Cheers !

This is nice playing -- I'm assuming to a backing track yes? Backing tracks are great for learning and playing along to, but rarely good as something to record to. They have that "midi" sound even when they are not all midi instruments. So I'd ask you first what you hear? Then I'd offer you the following: The guitar is way too out front - particularly given the nature and sound of the backing tracks. Eric Johnson's recorded tone for this is both much more wet (and processed) but possibly also more compressed. See if you can blend the guitar with the backing tracks -- push it back a bit and bring the levels down and the wet signal more forward. This is a great song to learn. I can remember learning in in my early 20's late teens and it was monster when you had it down. So many cool right hand techniques
I did something similar with my boogie mic'd to a 57 with the Slave out running into my interface then a cab simulator with a Royer 121 emulation -- I think you are on the right track -- just push it back a bit and give it a little bit more "wet".
