Kevin Cadogan - “Painted” - Full Guitar Cover

Tuning - EAEC#BE (Main Riff) & E-Standard tuning for everything else.
This is without question one of my favorite Kevin Cadogan solo tracks. There are a lot of great songs on his Thousand Yard Stare album but this one really speaks to me musically. The riff in this song is absolutely beautiful but to achieve it, you will need to tune to one of his most ridiculous tunings ever, EAEC#BE. Note, the G or third string goes up to C# not down. That means you have to tune three-whole steps up which is absolutely insane. If you decide to give the main riff in this song a try, be sure to have a light G on preferably a .015 which is very light. You could opt for a medium but there is always a risk of it breaking, especially when tuning this high.
Lucky for me, I am using my Line 6-JTV 69 for the riff and I have it programmed to the tuning digitally without changing the strings. This guitar is a huge time saver and has eliminated so much worry about investing in strings for one off tunings such as this one. Kevin himself has used a Line 6 JTV-69 some years back when he was performing with XEB since alternate tuning changes were a hassle with multiple guitars all the time.
Aside from the crazy tuning, the rest of the song is in standard tuning, including the solo. Kevin uses some crazy chorus and heavy reverb for the leads, so I have done my best to replicate his tones with my gear. Of course I am using his MJ Mirage GT Custom with the sustainer pickup paired with my Boss MetalZone Distortion running through my Marshall DSL40 Combo. I have some slight compression on as well due to the single coil layout of that guitar.
Hope you guys enjoy, and I’ll see you in the next video!
Cheers✌🏻

this just made my day. found your channel through a reddit post about 3eb tunings

[@BDKelso2000]

Thanks! Eric, this made my day that you found my channel! Glad to see you doing lessons for some of the old school 3eb stuff. Been watching for a long time. I learned the first two albums when I was a kid but your lessons made a world of difference versus what I had to do back then. Much appreciated.

Thanks! I’ve waited to do this one for a while.

Have you played in bands, Kelso?
You’re extremely talented

[@BDKelso2000]

Thanks! Yes I have but not in one at the moment. I’ve written a lot of riffs that I’m hoping to put on a recording someday, I just need the missing pieces. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later. My goal is to hopefully have a group together by the time I’m 29-30 which isn’t far away. I’m 24 now.
