It comes with time, the more you play "fusion" the more you become comfortable to make your own variations and adaptation of certain song towards "fusion" sound. |

It doesn't matter if you are using the very same pickup in 2 different positions, the sound will for sure be different cause the position of the pickup plays a big role here. The bridge pickup will always be sharper and harder, while the neck one will always sound warmer, so there is nothing wrong with using the same pickup twice. +1 |

Oh yeah, Pelistersko Oro is a great piece of music, problem is that I am very limited with time due other jobs etc but I'll most certainly keep the idea on my mind. Pozdrav! |

For applying a vibrato to a bended note, I release the bend to a desired amount and then bend back up again; again, speed and amount governing the overall effect. Bended note, very interesting. Actually, that is yet another "new" vibrato style, that way you go lower than the original note which gives totally different flavor. Let's stick to some not so wide vibratos for a sec, maybe semi tone bends in vibrato. Imagine we're in a key of C and we play note E, semi tone up is F and vibrato doing semitone up would work just fine. But what if we play note C? Semitone up is C#, not so great in a key of C. Prebend works great in that situation, you prebend semitone (from B to C) and doing vibrato from C down to B, back to C etc etc. Try that playing any ordinary lick or melody, try with whole tone vibrato and prebends as well, really cool and refreshing. |

Hmmmm, I don't really see what You mean with the term "Fusion" here, since there are a lot of sub-genres. Eg. there are rock-fusion, jazz-fusion, fusion between african music and jazz, latin-fusion etc. The term "fusion" is really a meltdown of different styles, and to play it a broad knowledge is recommended imo. One of the most essential knowledges though, is to master the fretboard and the modes - most fusion is based on key changes played kinda modal. It is really a very free kind of music, but if You desribe more in detail what kind of fusion we're talking bout, I can be more precise. //Staffay EDIT: Sorry Muris, I didn't saw that it was Your thread.... Not a problem, glad you jumped in! Hi Muris, I do enjoy your Fusion stuff and it's really fun to play this kind of things.. But there is one think that made me crazy. I didn't understand what you are playing. I am feeling like a parrot just copying your licks. But that is not my Target. I want to Jam along by myself.. on my own licks. To take for example your Backing Track and Jam with my own stuff.. But that didn't work like it does in the Pentatonic area. I am really wondering what i need to do to made my own jammings. Please can you help me understanding how this music works and what are the key points i have to learn or to train or to listen to get a selfmade jam? Cheers Alex Hi Alex. This with Fusion cannot be explained in one post as it requires far more analyzing, playing, composing etc. But I can give you some tips regarding Fusion Jam Lesson tho. It's in a key of Bm and yes, you can use Bm pentatonic as well. The problem is whatsoever if you over use it, you might end up sounding more bluesy or heavy metal since "fusion" sound that we are after is a bit more than just a pentatonic scale. Next choice is B Dorian which I used a lot in the lesson. I hope you do have some modal knowledge so I will miss to explain Dorian mode. You can push your views a lot further by using neighbor tones, that way you get more chromatic and more fusion flavor. And if you succeed to use all possible neighbor notes you'll end up by using a full chromatic scale, you'll have all 12 notes at your disposal, now it's just up to you how to use them. And don't be afraid of using mine or anyone else's licks, it's quite impossible to play your own licks without learning from others before that. I have done that and I'm pretty sure everyone else have so go for it, expand your lick library and you'll be there sooner as you think. |

Hello. Actually I have 2 but most of the time I find my self doing it with mouse! For backing track of this kind is quite simple to go with the mouse imo, you draw a chord and copy it afterward, with slight editing as different chords appears. Similar goes for bass, you make a bar of your groove and copy it with adjusting notes as chords change. You can try both ways nonetheless, everything is fine as long as it works for you. |

Hi. I didn't use amp for that demo, I plugged AxeFx straight into my E-MU audio card, that's all. Unit is amazing and I enjoy it all the time, dunno what else to say. But it's probably not for everyone. It's kind a expensive, it has no poweramp section and cab and some people prefer to have that "air in face" effect when playing so they use poweramp and cabs which builds expenses even more. For me, I use it straight into computer, mixer, PA or whatever, I use regular monitoring on stage just like keyboardists do and that's pretty much it, less to carry around. |

Hi Massimo. The thing with picking from the wrist is that you cannot separate it totally from your forearm, no matter how focused you are on using your wrist only there is nothing you can do to exclude your forearm from working, that's the anatomy. So there's no reason to be "afraid" of using your forearm a little, specially when reaching your limits, that's fully normal. As you practice more and more you'll reach higher limit and you'll become more and more relaxed which also means less and less use of your forearm. So practice as you have been practice and try not to use forearm ONLY, everything else will come in place in time. |

I absolutely agree with Muris, and this is exactly why I bought my Axe FX Ultra, this thing feels like my Rectifier, not like a modeler. And before I forget, I also wanted to ask you something Muris I bought my Axe FX mainly for my touring rig, I want one small and lightweight rack for flying, cause my main rack is just way to heavy and only caused problems with filght companies during our little festival tour last year. So my idea was also to only use the Axe FX Ultra, straight into the pa. We all use In ear monitoring, so I would not need any cabinets or poweramps or any stuff like that. As far as I understood you this is pretty much how you used yours live too, did you come across any problems, or have you been happy with that solution? Hey Marcus!! I use it in the very same way just without ear monitors but using floor wedgies, straight into PA, no amps, no cabs, no nothing. The only reason why people still use power amps and cabs with AxeFx ( as far as I understood) is that they need all that loudness on stage, air kicking in the back etc. I dunno, seems like I got too old and I got soooo tired of all that loudness etc, plus I have less to carry (in your case less roadies to hire). I came across no problems so far, it sounds damn transparent in mix and it cuts through in a second. All you need is good monitoring mix and that's pretty much it. The only "problem" is editing the unit itself, it's extremely deep and I'm pretty much scared of all those options, so far I have been using couple of factory presets edited just a little bit to my taste, amount of gain, EQ, mix of certain effects and stuff like that, no further. But all those routings available, amp block advanced page....man...that's deeeeep. |
