I have been awake nigh on 38 hours. Stayed up all night watching 24 season 1 and recording stuff. I recorded this tune using my 31 fret guitar. I hadn't been playing in a few weeks and seriously felt it! http://rapidshare.com/files/42937152/metal...s_five.mp3.html select the free download. Anyway, its in Ab Eb Ab Db F Bb tuning with 011 - 070s. Reason kit. Bass guitar tuned an octave below. this is how she looked unfinished. finished: (signed by Michael Nyman) Anyway, its called metal takes five - from the upcoming unofficial album release "Five takes of take five" by me and aaron marshall. The tunes have or have been near take five at some stage, and we have adapted them. The idea was to make different adaptions, but finally we decided upon making a pissery of it, and just putting the faintest hint of it in, and running with a Korn-esque riffery with a kinda fusion style lead. To my defence the lead was first take, at 3.20am whilst drinking Budvar, I am happy enough (and too lazy to repair it). For the guys who remember this guitar when I had made a yellow pine body, this is the revamped improved shape. The yellow pine got filthy too since it was oiled and not maintained! It was askin for a re-doin... had worn the cheap floyd out! Hope you guys enjoy this! Mike Gear: V-amp pro direct in 31 fret guitar - EMG 89 Wesley (eBay) bass GHS strings PS on its way is the 8 string, I have all the parts now (except for the nut)

oh chill, i know you werent! internet sucks for sarcasm!! i have thick skin anyway Mike

mate, I know it was dubbed - his "betchya cant play this" is a joke anyway, I cracked up watching his real attempt!! Id love to see him "shred" along side michael romeo, see how long he lasts. romeo is very lyrical and inventive, which is why I chose him and not Cooley, who I think like Jet Li, he is the one. Mike

herman li HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH he can't even play a playstation, and the very name suggests anyone can. hahahahahahahahaa. plus he can't play guitar cos he is ****. "its like a A minor arpeggio with like some notes hammered in like. errrr A minor 7 yeah its like A minor seven with notes. yeah." (herman, go learn english and guitar.)

you always impress me matt, well done. keep us updated! Mike

keep us updated, looking well!

it looks like a nice axe, well done

nor do I - as others have mentioned, the string spacing will be all out of kilter and it will probably give an uneven pickup of the strings. I had played with the idea of a neck pickip, but at £85 a pop, I think not! Besides, if Meshuggah don't need a neck pickup, I don't LMAO. nice logic, I hope you approve! Mike

almost, but not quite right. next.

welcome

no worries! yeah ill post clips up! im using a 45DC, 2 truss rods, maybe a 27" or so scale. (lets see what meshuggah use, hahahaha) Have a nice day Mike
