Full disclosure. I've only used my Kemper to play other folks profiles. (the free profiles in the K, and the Rig Exchange are great. And the profiles available for the unobtanium preamps are super). Sooooooo I may have a bit of learning curve to go through.
Profiling is not hard at all and is done in a few minutes. I found the hardest thing to do was to run the cables to the Kemper and tell my wife to go outside for a while.
Before every practice session, I open up my $50,000 wishlist at Sweetwater and go over which item I can afford next. I usually bump up the Pack of Strings.
Well whatever you do, find a profile of a vintage Fender Vibrolux with a vintage Maestro fuzz pedal and play a guitar called an Clifford Essex Paragon De Luxe. And play it like Vik Flick.
I believe he sold the guitar he used to create the Bond riff for something like $60,000+ to those guys at Black and Gold Pawn shop in Vegas (Pawn Stars).
There is a personal funny side story on the pawn shop; Wife and I were trying to find the pawn shop on a visit. We asked pedestrians on the strip where the Pawn Stars were located. They looked at us with hard stares. You see, our heavy accented southern language sounded like "Porn Stars" to them. They thought we were perverts. It wasn't until I wrote it down that a pedestrian finally knew what we were saying.
I'd suggest you treat your new Kemper like a new neighborhood. Don't venture out far and get lost. Go the the neighbor's house and come back. Then go to the end of the block and come back, etc.
Read the manual well during breaks and watch all the videos - over and over. You'll be leaving the city in no time.
The Hunt is an exception piece of work. Even if it took you 3 months to achieve it would still be exceptional. But one day? I know some songs can write themselves but I don't expect to ever get to this level.
Thanks Per ! It's so funny that learning to play guitar, bass, drums, and piano is easier than learning to sing at the proper pitch without sounding like I am gargling mouthwash.
Thanks waraba ! I take the Rush comps all day long! I really got the Tele to learn some country songs. I was pleasantly surprised to get that hard rock tone out of it.
I'm pretty happy how this one came out except for my vocals which I deleted and probably for good. I think MuddySludge is going to help me find a vocalist.
The song is about a non-descript soldier who dies in the line of duty.
I put more "soul" into the drums and into the solo. I breathed and relaxed more during the tracking. I also feel like I am finally getting close to some pro sounding tones that can finally move me out of amatuer land. Main riff and rhythm was on my new G&L Tele.
BTW, I should be finished with all the acoustic panels and bass traps for the studio in a week or so. And then I can just enjoy it all.
