Javier Aviles15th September 2015Hi Javier. Very nice lesson! So complete. We like to use this as as full band lesson. I wonder if you can help a little with the backing of the song? I figured it out by ear, think you have used 2 guitars base and drums in the backings? I get lost in the part with full chords.
Thanks in advance,
Robert.

Kristofer Dahl8th December 2014Thanks, it is very interesting to know you use the camera sound as well - I assume you must be happy with the natural reverb of your studio! (sounds great to me)
- Javier Aviles8th December 2014Very cool Javier! I like your tone here, could tell me how you got it? Also, what bands would you say have inspired you for this kind of style?
Thanks Kristofer!
Inspire me all heavy metal bands from 80-90, of course, also... PowerPop&Punk bands: Evanescense, Over City Lights, Capital Lights, Boys Like Girls,... My sound: Gibson Les Paul Gold Deluxe 74' (minihumbuckers), Line 6 ENGL amp, summing live camera sound of my Hughes&Kettner combo amp while recording. My DAW Channel with CLA-2A compressor, adding a send into mixer to a bus stereo channel panning with EQ (1600Hz, -5,5dBs; 4100Hz +4,5Dbs). - Kristofer Dahl8th December 2014
