Quest for Brian May's sound

Trying to copy Brian May's sound even if you don't have his signature Red Special AC guitar and Vox amp. So even if you got an ordinary guitar and ordinary practise amp, you will still be able to copy the famous Queen sound. The only thing you need to have is a multi-effects pedal especially the Zoom G1on or G1xOn. It's affordable and got loads to offer.

Here are the videos I made using this Zoom G1xOn and the patch settings I created to emulate Brian May's sound.

In this video, I share here how I managed to re-create Brian May's sound by only using available resources like my guitar (Lyon by Washburn) and effects pedal (Zoom G1xOn). I fiddle with the effects and amp sim available. Also did a bit of experiment on using a coin versus a plectrum if it will affect the quality of the sound. And, it did.

This video that I did was more of a followup from the previous video. Because after I uploaded Bohemian Rhapsody, a lot of people was amazed of the tone of my guitar and effects pedal so I got requests from my subscribers to do a We will rock you tone patch. I struggle learning both leads on these songs but managed to get close to Brian May's tone.

Ulanzi Tablet Holder Mount Adapter Review

I bought this on eBay because I needed it for my video blogging to get a more stable video and safer for my iPad or Tablet as well as my phone to hold and get into a good position when recording.

This is available also on Amazon and other online retailers. It is cheap but very useful. Now I enjoy using it because it is very versatile and multi-purpose. Also quite small and sturdy that it can fit inside my tripod carry bag.

There's loads of features and can be positioned differently. Most of all it holds the iPad nicely. I haven't explored the maximum potential of this gadget because I mainly use this to focus my Zoom G1xOn when Im explaining on how I make patches and sharing the values and parameters of my effects pedal. It is really big help for me with my YouTube channel.

Hope this helps your questions and enquiry about the Ulanzi Tablet Holder Mount Adapter.

D'Addario EZ890 super light strings review and demo

I always struggle with the strings of my acoustic guitar because Im so used to playing an electric guitar. So I've looked online on where to buy a super light tension acoustic guitar strings and I've found one. It's the D'Addario EZ890 Super Light Acoustic Strings.

It's really nice, made a big difference to the tension of my Fender DG60CE and the sound is also very good. You will find it a bit odd though that the third string is also steel and not round wound. Also it's super light that you think you are using an electric guitar. It might sound a bit thin if you are use to gauge 10 strings. But apart from that, it's a lovely set of strings.
