On my sound card, the biggest peak when I hit the guitar hard is -13 db. I see in many comments that this is an optimal signal, is that correct?

As someone who has the right hand control to pick this all with economy picking(for years) still a great hybrid picking framework! I’ll mix this in with my Johnny Hiland hybrid exercises tho bc it’s very intuitive! Thanks for sharing!

I hoped that this was the reason why I was never able to appreciate Neural plugins. Not even one. But nope, I can't stay satisfied even by adjusting the input correctly, I always feel that there is something wrong with the dynamics, especially how it reacts to the touch of the pick in palm mutes. They work great in mixes, but for me, feeling the instrument is absolutely essential and in this, I find even my Spark MINI more responsive. Am I crazy? I see everybody happy with NeuralDSP plugins and I feel so alone in this lol For me, the plugin that comes closest to my FM3 is ToneX, I tried it yesterday and I was absolutely shocked by how good it sounds. The problem with the FM3 is that reamping is very inconvenient compared to a plugin, but with ToneX I think I've found a solution

Nice playing bro! IK missed a trick in another area, they didnt capture his JSX rig which was all over the Crystal Planet album.That Mini Collosal capture was a waste of time IMO. Also another issue (Quote me if im wrong) but you can't use your own IR's with these amps right? For me thats a deal breaker if so.

Cool song and fantastic playing! This may have convinced me to grab the Satch pack!

Yes! Those are my favourite Satch albums too❤

David, I just happened on this one last night and tried it immediately. Goodness, night and day difference! My current interface (M Audio Duo) wasn't on the spreadsheet but the idea of lowering the input gain was massive. My problem previously was that there's too much presence and the pick attack totally ate up the volume. Zeroing down on the input gain gave me a much clearer tone.

DAAAAAAAMN Fine ! Thank You

You're a really good teacher. Luv and Peace.

its look like a celestion g12m greenback loaded cabinet

I have the BIGGEST smile on my face watching this brother!! You know what this song means to me 😊❤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 LEGENDARY 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Man I love a bit of Joe Satriani. I think my favourite album of his is crystal planet or super colossal I really like that one too. Great content and playing 👍

Still kinda on the fence when it comes to the creative utility and tweak ability of captures, but man, the plug-n-play nature of a great capture (like these are) is phenomenal! I got massively inspired playing around with these tones and dug out a Satch style ballad I started working on in 2002 to finish recording using some of my favourite capture in the collection. Feels a bit like IK buried the lead in marketing this however, as to anyone of my generation the 90s era Satch tones are the pinnacle of his recorded work, and, it seems like they’ve captured some of the exact amp and speaker combinations that Joe used on Crystal Planet and the self-titled record! The tones of the Marshall heads and 5150 with the vintage Marshall stained cabs are very reminiscent of CP, and some of the older fender combo give that earthier blues vibe of Cool#9 and IF. Anyways, tons of fun trying to get my fingers to remember how to do the rolling ball of mercury type legato! If you’ve tried the IK/TONEX JS Amp vault let me know your fav captures to try, and what’s your fav Satch tones? Cheers 🐝🎸🙏🏻

Thanks ! When you said "Folk Wisdom", for the first time in my life I felt a sudden urge to smoke a pipe.

Instant sub! What an amazing lesson thank you!

Great demo! 👍🏽

I was going to just jump to the problem and check the correct configurations but your playing is just wow and went for at least one replay.

Superb comparison

So are these fm3s worth it?

Man, I really liked the sound and also the t-shirt!! I love Laphroig!!

Mateus Assato literally puts his gain at zero and that's how he uses his Neural DSP started doing that and it sounds so much better

I've always had the gain knob at 0, I never thought about it but I guess in the back of my head I didn't want any more colouration from the preamps, and if I needed more gain or less on the amp plugin I would just use the input gain on the plugin.

Great tones!

Dude that is so kind of you to give your preset and track away like that. Thankyou. I have been doing a lot of tweaking of the same amp and have found I have added in some bender fuzz to help get similar tones to Robben on the higher gain section of Freedom. Most appreciate your perspectives.

Thank you so much for your generosity!

Hi David, Do you use this Live? What do you use for your AMP in a live setup, FRFR , AMP return etc. Thank you for your generosity and great playing!

He plays like a magic spider

Not sure most will get the insane level of ear required to just bash this out like Beebs does here. Well jell, mad skills brother!

I had an issue getting my heavy guitar tones sitting in the mix and this makes so much sense. The interface acts as something like a tubescreamer effect if the gain is up.

Hi David. This is impressive. However I noticed you have logic. Were you not tempted to drop the track into logic and use the new AI to get the isolated guitar track or do you think there is benefit in being able to pick out the parts and learn from the full track alone. Sometimes it's hard if things are buried in the mix.

_I_ don't get it wrong! That's because I can't play it at all... Anyway, this is great playing by David: the performance at the start of this video is probably the cleanest I've _ever_ seen this solo played, so I'll slow it down to learn it once and for all (and see how long it takes me to give up!).

That's an interesting approach. When I work songs out, I usually head to TH-cam to find the clearest version, then Ultimate Guitar for the chords and lyrics uploaded by someone else, which I copy & paste into Word. Then I listen, slow the video, and correct anything that doesn't seem right. Both the chords and lyrics are often wrong, so a good ear is handy. The whole song must fit on one sheet of A4 paper, so that when I'm at the gig I can have the songs in a folder, in setlist order. I've depped with bands on and off for years, and initially it was very easy because I tended to play a lot of Country and 60s, and could wing it. More recent dep gigs have been challenging, because of the styles of music, and song complexity. For anyone considering depping, it is completely non-cost-effective, but it's good fun and it keeps the brain active!

certainly very interesting, also a nice add to after watching John's!

U r way smarter and skilled than me.

This makes me wanna get the fractal even more now haha! Great stuff Beebs!

Thanks for showing your process! I learn songs without my instrument as well, but not so much by choice but because I’m trying to make best use of my time on the subway everyday (or the ‘chewb’ as y’all call it). Then I’ll check with my instrument next chance I get. Find I retain things much better that way than if I played through the song with my instrument from the start.

Great vid, great t-shirt

Hey there’s another fellow on TH-cam that might be interested in this. I believe he’s goes by @John Nathan Cordy.

Awesome video! I am in the process myself to learn a new setlist for a gig in a couple weeks as well and found this super useful! Thanks a million! So, once you narrow down the song chord charts and guitar parts, what is your approach to memorise it for the long run? Do you practice the whole song every now and then? Or do you take your time to memorise each section before jumping in to the next? (My biggest challenge is to memorise to the point of not looking at charts at all, it takes me a while 😅) Cheers!

is this stretch longer/harder than the stretch to the outro solo to bark at the moon?

Nice, but i think he was playing the second D of each pattern (on the way back up) on 19th fret of G string. Only the first E is picked. The othe 4 notes are all hammer from nowhere. 12 19 15 12 19 12 19 15 12 19

Was it Holdsworth inspired? I know Ed was a big fan but that big stretch dates back to the 75-76 demos...which that stretchy riff is on...technically Holdsworth did put his first album and I think only album he put out until Ed started getting him back in the studio in 1982... Maybe Ed said it was and maybe the riff is in your mind different than the ice cream riff, but seems pretty similar

Fantastic video! My obligatory hot take is that Eddie lifted this from Holdsworth's "In the Dead of Night" solo on the first UK album. He rips some similar stuff on "One Foot Out the Door" too.

Hey David that annotation on your iPad was super cool. If you don't mind me asking, what software are you using with the pencil and what do you used to record your iPad video? Thanks! Great tone and playing too by the way. I think the lick was definitely inspired by A.H.

Exceptional playing and control. Where can we get the tees from?

There's only one person on TH-cam who has ever played this solo correctly and that's David Escobar.

Hi david..how can i get solo T-shirt? I really need one..

Great Vid Dave! Love the rhythmic accuracy, everyone gets that wrong. Your fingering at the end is spot on. That D on the B string IS played with a hammer on from nowhere on the G making the fingering symmetrical and basically feeling like a stretchy version of the standard fives style idea found on eruption, somebody get me a doctor and lots of others. Essentially one note on the high E, 3notes on the B and hammer on the G. Eddies only picks the first note on these types of things. I have loads of pre 1st album bootlegs and he’s already playing these ideas in 77! Before he uses tapping! Crazy!!! He ends up with a 5 note pattern played across sextuplets, so the rhythm back cycles/displaces by one note. Again it’s all over his playing, and happens in the tapping section of this solo. Great stuff buddy! 👍🏻

All the right notes, in the right order… 👓 Andrew preview.

We know Eddie didn’t care about the theory 😝
