Luke.London Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Hey there, I´m actually working on a good Green Day live guitar sound, so I´ll put all relevant stuff up here that might be interesting for you ... that´s not a thread for my covers (I´ll probably make a cover thread when I have some serious covers done), it´s only about my live sound. That´s what I just recorded today - played around with the Stay the Night live solo, it´s based on their performance at Montreux Jazz Festival last year (Link). Billie´s and Jason´s parts both played by me, no EQ/compression.http://audiour.com/oogd1teq Just in case anyone is interested what the single guitars sound like: Billie Joe´s Rhytm Part: http://audiour.com/playlist/sgz1wy33 Billie Joe´s Solo Part: http://audiour.com/playlist/5ojsstej To be continued. Luke
Todd Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Great to see another cover thread! Good job with the solo!
Luke.London Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Great to see another cover thread! Good job with the solo! Not a cover thread as I said
The Disappearing Boy Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I'm no expert on guitar tones (I probably should be - I've been playing it for long enough !) but it sounds pretty cool and your playing was good
Todd Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Not a cover thread as I said Well, that wasn't an original
Luke.London Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Well, that wasn't an original Okay ... then let´s say it´s not supposed to be a cover thread, it´s just a ... ehm, "working on my Green Day live sound diary" thread
Spike Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 That's one mighty fine tone you've got there. What setup are you using?
Luke.London Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 That's one mighty fine tone you've got there. What setup are you using? I want to keep that secret fow now, sorry ... don´t get my wrong, but I´ll give you some more details for sure. But for now ... y´ know What I can tell you: LP Junior, Blues Driver and lots of tube amp power, closer than you think to GD´s setup
Certified Nimrod Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Sounds great! Any chance that you'll share a tab for that?
Luke.London Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 Sounds great! Any chance that you'll share a tab for that? Thank you ... phew, I actually only play by ear and improvise a lot. But that thing is really not hard to tab out ... what exactly do you need?
Certified Nimrod Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 But that thing is really not hard to tab out ... what exactly do you need? The whole thing would be nice, for consistency's sake. I can play the solo the way it is on Uno, but not the extra stuff that they do live.
Luke.London Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 You´re lucky ´cause I just waited for the Grammys and had nothing else to do. It´s something like that (click the picture to enlarge) That are just the notes in the order I played them, the strumming pattern you´ll have to find out by yourself... and it´s hard to describe how to play these dirty bended notes at the end (17th fret) ... can´t describe that, I would have to show you that live. However, also use your thumb beside the pick for single notes to give the tone some punch. Here´s Billie´s guitar part only, might be easier for you to figure out the strumming. http://audiour.com/playlist/5ojsstej Luke
Luke.London Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Quick update on that one - just adding two more recordings. Same setup & settings as in my Stay the Night solo sample, but less Volume (these things are friggin´ loud ...) and only one center panned guitar here why it´s not sounding that powerful ... but basically the same deal. Also no Blues Driver here because there´s no solo anyway. I already posted that sample somewhere, so you possibly already know it.http://audiour.com/playlist/1pgqkby0 Different guitar (Strat with angled Seymour Duncan SH-4 like Blue), but same amp settings. Green Day do the same live ... their changes in sound basically come from swapping guitars. http://audiour.com/playlist/ni2hz5a2 As always no EQ/compression. And remember: it´s their live sound, not studio sound. Their studio sound is a different thing due doubletracked guitars, equalizing etc. I´m setting up a small home studio now, so I´ll do some serious recordings next month I guess. Next one will probably be a sample of a Les Paul Junior with a Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90 (Gibson P90 in the past samples). Cheers, Luke
Luke.London Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Loving that tone! Thank you! I love it too. I´m excited what some serious recordings with EQ´ing, doubletracking and stuff will sound like
Luke.London Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 H.o.l.y S.h.i.t I just played around with some recordings and room level (master volume 0,5!!) and did a take of the studio version of When I Come Around - doubletracked (well, actually eight tracks rhytm and solo each, mic´d with two microphones) but no EQ or compression. The solo is originally played with different amp settings I guess, haven´t figured out them so far but the rhytm part are original studio settings. That´s what happened:http://audiour.com/playlist/1mb2klo3 God, waaaay better than expected! I mean, that´s master volume 0,5 ... i´m friggin´ curious what it will sound like played louder! Cheers, Luke

DookieLukie Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 You should apply this guitar tone to some Trilogy songs and overlay with vocals!
Luke.London Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 You should apply this guitar tone to some Trilogy songs and overlay with vocals! You mean to dookiefy them ? Or do you mean my vocals? I´m not a singer, unfortunately ...
DookieLukie Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 You mean to dookiefy them ? Or do you mean my vocals? I´m not a singer, unfortunately ... I mean apply your amazing tone to the Trilogy songs. Dookiefied is cool, but I hate how the guy sings too. Like, apply the tone in this thread and add in the Trilogy Billie vocals if you can, so we can see how the songs would have sounded with a good tone.

I´d need the master tracks of the trilogy to do that. I could do try it with the normal tracks, but - of course - you will also hear the original guitar ... but to get an idea it should be enough. Great idea ! But the trilogy actually has a GREAT guitar tone in my opinion.

But the trilogy actually has a GREAT guitar tone in my opinion. Dookiefied guitars did that with 99 Revs, Rusty James, and Lazy Bones, so there must be a way I'm guessing. I'd like to hear your tone in place of some Trilogy guitar tones.

That´s what I meant I could do.
