I kind of like this one, it reminds me of an Exodus riff for some reason.

I like this one as well .. I have something that I am trying to make sound more metal, and less happy..
Hope to post it soon.
Nice work Steve.

I recorded the same riff in drop B last night and added a 3rd part. Didn't get it posted.

Here's an old gem I found, recorded during lunch for my old college roommate.
Jacking around after I just figured out this solo.

Kind of fun

A solo idea for my song Slaves.

I love the tone on this.
Freakin awesome!

This one is what the riff in the other thread I just posted kind of morphed into. I like this one better.

Seymour Duncan AHB3 (Mick Thompson) Blackouts and they are absolutely amazing things! I put them in both of my explorers.

Sounds great.
Mine has EMGs in it. I think they are 81/85.

I have always liked the EMGs without much complaint, these are on another level IMHO

Messing around with my Engl.
The gain is literally on 3.... This amp blows me away sometimes it sounds so amazing in the room!

Anyhow here's a few guitars playing the same riff thru the same settings, just for giggles.
You may need good phones to hear the differences.

The bitter beer face at the end makes that entire clip better. Awesome tone. Great riffing even without the face.

To me it sounds like the explorer is drives the amp harder. I’m in love with the way that guitar sounds.

Once you start finding the magical combinations of wood/pickup/amp/speaker.... The musical universe begins to unlock! Ha ha ha sounds pretty profound huh?

Really deep Steve.
Plato would be proud.

Right next to the Gibson V
