So in case you all haven't caught on to the trend here, I'm releasing a series of Persona-related covers where I take the original song and performing them with low, dropped-tunings instead of standard tuning (for both bass and guitar), which by default makes the sound a bit thicker and heavier. This is a challenge I took on based on what I did after performing Alice in Chains - "Would" in Drop A# tuning (the original tuning was D# standard) and listening to the Persona OSTs (which I come to love very much). It provided me the challenge to perform the more complex riffs in these OST tracks in a completely different tuning while attempting to retain the style and feel of the original song. Of course it's not a carbon copy (but quite close). It also tests my skills as a mixing and mastering engineer to make sure it sounds unique from the original. So where Mr. Meguro used a strat with single coils and a Marshall amp, I decided to use a tele with EMG humbuckers and various high-gain amps (see list below). I also used a 5-string bass tuned to G# + Drop B (see list below for details).
And yes, I did watch the Persona Music Live 2012 show and took that as inspiration to extend the intro and outro. There is also an ad-libed solo with my first foray into tapping in there.
Here is the list of recording gear I used:
- Fender Telecaster Custom HH Spalted Maple Top (with a set-neck) with EMG JH pickups with configuration modded to 2 Volumes, a Graph Tech bridge and nut, Planet Waves locking tuners, D'Addario 11-56 strings tuned to Drop B, and Schaller strap locks
- Dunlop 1mm Nylon Black picks (for guitar) and 2mm Gators (for bass)
- Monster Cables
- Presonus AudioBox 44VSL
- Presonus Studio One 2.6 (and the built-in effects)
- Amplitube 3.8 (5 amps were used: Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, Egnater Armageddon (custom made), Splawn Nitro (custom made), Soldano SLO100, and Gallien-Krueger MB150S. Lead guitars were done with the Nitro, Bass tracks were handed with the GK MB150S and the Soldano thru an 8x10 cab)
- Redwirez Guitar Cabinet Impulses
- IK Multimedia TRackS CS Mastering plugins
- Ibanez SR305 tuned (low-high) G# B F# B E (or 4-string Drop B tuning with a 5th string G#)
- Native Instruments Studio Drummer
Enjoy! :D
