My version of C-Lebrity.

Not just a version as I also wrote a solo for it (and a weird "vocal" intro). It's short, anyways.[br][br]link |

Nice! :-D[br][br]I dare say you sound more Queen than Queen! LOL![br][br]I like this! Any chance of a FLAC/MP3 upload?[br] |
| Markman38 10.10.2008 05:58 |
I'm impressed by your guitar work very well done. No bass included??? |

[br]it's very nicely done, and I like the intro!![br][br][br]Also have a look at another C-lebrity instrumental cover (longer version)[br][br]link |

Wow![br]I think they should have your version released as a single. Very well done! Congratulations![br]By the way, what gear did you use for this video? The tone is spot on![br][br] |

Cool! :-) |

very good thanks[br] |

Outstanding! Jamie Moses better hope that Brian doesn't run across this! |

Great sound. I'd have to say you really play more like yourself than you do Brian, but I don't see this as a bad thing at all. Nicely done. You might want to bite my head off for saying this, but C-Lebrity probably isn't the song that needs fixing. You should give "Still Burning" a shot. :P |

Well, I'm surprised I only good positive feedback! Don't get me wrong, it's a pleasing surprise, haha! @ inu-linger: I'm uploading the mp3 file. @ Markman38: The bass is there, even tho it's not very loud. Next time I will try to fix that mix mistake. @ tiagoguy: I recorded the guitar thru Guitar Rig 3, using a Brian May-esque setting I made myself. I can upload it if you want it. @ Zebonka: If I ever think of any solo that would fit Still Burning, I'll do it. I apreciate all your comments, thanks a lot. Cheers, Hor |

very nice indeed :-))) but like zebonka said...fix one that needs it big time ;-)) |
| AP-Racing 10.10.2008 18:33 |
Nice version i like |
| Markman38 10.10.2008 18:49 |
Listen to it on me headphones and indeed good basswork also (as a bassplayer I'm extra keen on that). One question is the bass part played by a guitarplayer? Just a joke I always have with myown guitarplayer. My device is a bass is not a guitar when he wants me to put in to much notes :-). Bat the compliment I gave still stands |

It's brilliant. For a moment, I was fooled into thinking it was Brian. |

To be honest, I didn't play the bass. Nobody did. I programmed it because it was quicker and I just wanted a half-decent backing track, not an ultimate version. Besides I would have had to borrow a bass and you know, it's just too much problem for such a simple bass line, so I decided not to play it but to program it. @ tiagoguy: This is the Queen sound bank for GR3. Tell me if it works ok. I made all the presets myself but some a kinda shitty, lol. I'm always changing things anyway. Cheers, Hor |

Unfortunately my sound board is not working very well so I won't be able to test it for now... I'll just try to get the tone through my Digitech Red Special pedal [br] [br] [br] [br] [br] [br] [br] |

I love your arrangement, Horsie! |

Hey man, I tried some of your presets and there are some nice patches in there! You've done a good job of trying to get some Brian guitar bits like the delays preset. Good sound. After trying your presets, I decided to try making some myself. After doing some testing of my own, I came up with something real nice. Btw, the built-in treble booster was rubbish to me. I plugged in my Electrolead RSB and it kicked ass! Straight away, a great sound. Anyway, back to the point! I did a comparison recording between Gtr Rig 3, the Digitech Brian pedal and my AC30CC2X amp. The result was obviously in favour of my AC30cc2x then GR3 and the Digi in last place. But the best part was this... I was going to record some Brian guitar stuff for our SMGO cover we're doing at the mo. That's why I was testing the above things for sounds. So, as I listened between the sounds I'd recorded, I combined the GR3 recording with the chorus effect I'd made along with my AC30 amp recording to get a very good overall sound. Very, very nice! Sounded almost authentic. Of course, then it dawned on me...I'd basically made up Brian's recording/touring rig with the recordings! Get what I mean? I mean, my real AC30 was the dry amp in the middle and the GR3 sound provided Brian's wet amps for the left and right side! HAH! But it brings about a good point. I put it together without thinking about it and really liked the sound on the recording. Only then did I realise that this was Brian's usual setup for playing! It proves to me, that it's a very good setup that Brian has made. It really does work for his sound. Clever stuff. Adam. |
