Personally Thank You to Mike Varney, Glenn Tipton, Rob Halford, Tim Ripper Owens, Mike Vescera, James Murphy, Joe, Steve, Yngwie..., everyone of Shrapnel Records and hundreds guitarists i've been listening and who inspired me to play cool melodies and shred-stuff, who made me as I am. Thanks to Eagles for the best song ever. Thanks to all great brands who are making best guitar and studio gear. Thanx to all my Friends and Fans all over the World, my Mom and Dad. Love You! The story is: I found this tune of John Browne at Mesa Amps at the end of January and i just love it! But i really haven't had a chance to play it in the studio... So all these days tune was playing in my head over and over again. But before yesterday i sent the mix of a new song to Mike Vescera and finally i sat just to play the guitar and bethink 'bout that tune. In 20 min it came out of my fingers, so i called to my friend video-guy Valery Cherno and we did a few takes yesterday. I took the best take and added some harmonised melodies to make it song like. Then we put it all together! Was fun! Ahahah Anyway may be i should record it first sitting on a chair in the studioto make it more precise and articulated, but we recorded it just while we video it! So it's kinda live and full improvising in the middle part. To make the story short: I play my one of a kind guitar thru splitter to Mesa Triple and added a bit of Marshall (cuz i don't have another Mesa LOL!) both ams are loaded with Mesa tested EL-34 Svetlana STR-442 - The Best tubes ever!!! i use straight Mesa Custom cab and 1960V loaded with Vintage-30 both. I did not use any effects, but hush, couple of mics on cab (57beta and octava 102) and dbx-160a. The pedals i was dance on, were Whammy and Wah Wah. LOL I added i bit of delay and hall in the mix. thats it ! NO! it would be much better if i had a couple of more Mesa stacks! - cuz i still have two vacant ins in the splitter! LOL Love You All! Stay Metal!
