first thing, you sound pretty good.. the sound is as described – tasteful in my opinion..
second, if you have a pod than I can send you the tone if you wish..
third, I think that in my record the most effective or notable sound change was all made with the Vol knob which
the POD 500X succeeded in the “Drive section” to use enough on each level of Vol.. and i think that gave me a sort of “feel” to the playing there..

in the Etude lesson which is the first time I hear, I think your sound go well with the back track but I think you can get a tasteful playing if you’ll use more technique
for more fluent sound. (a slife before, a breakdown, first note before the bit etc..)
and for that matter a VOL change is a great tool for phrasing a passage or something legato-ish which will not “go over” the lead tune.

hope you understood everything.. my English got worst through the years lol

[RoEm]

[RoEm]

I think the all album is good
of course it’s not like I&W or SFAM or something
but they kinda took systematic and made it better.. it looks like some sequel..
with some hints of ministry and other songs in some of the songs..

A rite of passage is a great song
and there is of course Wither which is something kinda like a radio song.. kitsch and not that progressive but it is still a beautiful song
and other songs as the shattered fortress…
great CD in my opinion.

and BTW, me covering Wither solo.. (it’s rather easy.. and yeah I know the album isn’t out yet)

*and sry for my bad english lol*

[RoEm]

lol.. sry for that…
I’m also an admin of another forum..
of music instruments in some Israeli forum..
and we have a thread like that every week XD
I just wanna those little 13 yrs old stop opening them..

[RoEm]

dragonforce suck!
the music in not that good, and the pose is just too big..
they suck on live shows
and their music sounds like packman, but as If they recorded it slowly, and then made it faster on the album..

[RoEm]

^
usually legato parts are easier..
people actually usually try to play fast runs in legato instead of alternative picking..
after their good enough they realize that it just doesn’t sound the same..
another thing I said was about the fact that you stop you strings from ringing.. while satch usually
let them go all around the place with vibe..

the thing about the feel I said was more of amm opinion..
this might be your style of playin’.. and that’s fine, I just prefer Satch’s XD

[RoEm]

the tone is great.. and you certainty have the technique
but I thing you missing a lot the “Satch feel”.. or whatever..
and one thing I didn’t like is how you stop the strings from ringing after a section..keep them ringing
put some vibe on it and show us your feel as a musician..
maybe it’s just me.. but that’s my opinion..

[RoEm]

hahaha
Problem is, I’m what’s called “MeUtar Shayetet 13”, which means our “navy commando” got an eye on me..
Flight course is in first priority, but once I’ll fall from there, the commando will take me..
that’s not the problem.. the problem is that people that are “MeUtarim” (pinpoint) are making the tests in the course earlier
which means I might be out of the IAF in about a month XD that SUCKS!
I’ve been doing tests for the IAF in the last year and a half, and in a month I might be out of there.. 🙁
that’s the most frustrating point in all of that.. but as I said, Who Cares..
I just do what I was told to and hope someday I’ll get out of there in one piece..
and who know, maybe the army will change me, maybe I will prefer to stay in it for 10 more years :p

just kidding.. lol,
Roie M.

[RoEm]

I’m JEW!
and still this piece got me all juiced up for Christmas XD
oh well, no mistletoe or egg nut here, but that was one great song =]

the singer really is great..

[RoEm]

Yeah sure.. I know exactly what you’re talking about…. NOT 😀
I live in Israel… the lowest temperature we had till now is about 9c lol
and it barely rains…. and the snow.. What Snow?! I haven’t seen snow in years XD
and cars.. I’m 18 yrs old.. I don’t even own a car.. XD (though I do drive in one.. but I’m not paying for it)

but who cares
I’ll give you frustration.. In January 8th I’ll join the army.. and on that spot, my life is over haha
I’m going to IAF – “flight course”, where I have to serve at least 12 years, while the first 3 yrs, are just one big course
that by now only 250 from the 20000 that tried to get in will begin.. and only 40-50 will finish
and while my friends that already joined the army go back home for weekends once a week..
I’ll get home for a weekend once a month or less..

Despite I really like to go on, defend my country, get to the best and most wanted spot in the army
get to fulfill my dreams from whenever I can remember myself… that means I will probably stop playing guitar
after 5 years of joy.. also stopped playing piano after 7 years
and stopped playing professional basketball after 13 yrs of playing..

too sad that the truth is, that in Israel, we will never be able to chose between continuing our lives
or joining the army in the name of stupid governments..
we just finished school.. all my friends, everybody I know (except for one close friend that luckily past all the tests for the IAF)

still feel frustrated? =]

[RoEm]

thanks a lot everybody.. =]

hopefully, I will upload a decent and CLEAR record of that shortly.. (once I’ll get good enough lol)

[RoEm]

too sad I can’t capture it in a decent quality..
I need the backing track itself in order to create another layer/channel…
I can’t use it for recording, only for practicing.. when it’s on the internet..
using my standard mic will get results you should pray your ears will never ear ;D
