i used to use a pretty laughable setup to record, but with actually pretty good results.
all i did was use my old orange Boss DS-1 distortion pedal as a ghetto preamp and plug it directly into my mic input with a 1/4"->1/8" adapter. run a DC offset filter and a basic noise cancelling filter on the resulting recording and it actually sounds decent (much better than the average black metal album i was listening to at the time, anyway)

figured out how to play "A Season in the Sky" by Neurosis, even tho the tabs online are kinda shitty. probably the longest song i've ever learned, it's just shy of 10 minutes long when they play it. i pick up the tempo and cut out half of the intro so my version is probably in the 8-9 minute range. but yeah, feels good man. loved this song for so long before learning to play it.

we talk about guitar with some regularity on this forum, but i never see anyone sharing recordings of their guitar playing. i would love to hear what some of you guys do. particularly i would love to hear recordings from
Noodleface
and
Alex
, but there are many other people that post in this thread whose work i'd like to hear too.
anyone have anything they're willing to share?
i did a page or two ago, but i was drunk and probably people skipped over it for the rambling nature of the post. plus it was Vocaroo instead of embedded YouTube or w/e else we can embed.

here's a piece i wrote a long time ago, directly inspired by King Crimson - "Fracture".... entirely written in whole tone scale, delay set so the repeats fall on the last upbeat of the measure (essentially creating a 7/8 crossed with 4/4 syncopation)
edit -- originally embedded youtube, but just realized in a different thread that BandCamp links can be embedded. this version is way better quality:
note that i am just playing a single guitar with a delay pedal set to 1.3seconds
edit 2 -- man, i used to think this whole album sounded pretty meh, but listening back now to the stuff i recorded 7 years ago, it sounds pretty good. i miss my old Line 6 Spider 2.
whole album queued up from track 1 if anyone is interested
if you listen to only one track, skip forward to track 6, The New Paradigm. metal with delay pedal and weird time signatures... the main riff (starting just after 2:00) is in 27/8

This first one I recorded with Reaper in my apartment. I'm playing everything on this one. Drums were played with my Yamaha Motif. Yes, that's me wearing a Bengals jersey onstage.
These next tunes were from one of my college bands. All live recordings using a Zoom H4n.

I haven't recorded in 10 years, although there's a SoundCloud out there somewhere. Most of my stuff is covers nowadays (I've posted videos)

I've probably posted it before but since we're coming up on the anniversary..
This was my high school band. Band ended when the lead guitarist/singer died in the RI Station nightclub fire.
Little different as you'd think I just play metal

Nice dude, didn't know you really played. Here's a couple videos, possibly posted before
Last one has the better quality. I'm obviously the dumbass bald guy

Yeah here's nenia man. I didn't like it because I fell out of key on the intro solo lol .Also the second song I couldn't hear the band so my timing was off on the solo
