At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.

Bloody fingers hurt after doing that one.
You and me both....you'll probably hear on mine the moment I switched from Jag to Strat towards the end
It's in the playlist.
I can't remember when I last broke a string. It must be years ago. I obviously need to put a bit more effort in.
My approach:
I wanted to focus on riding the volume with as least gain as poss, playing as cleanly as I could, and initially pinching the string between pick and thumb to twang it and build up the intensity across the track
Once I'd worked out the structure of my piece I decided to start with neck pup volume on about 1.5.
As I got to half way through I nudged neck volume up to 5 and flipped to the mid position hastily but incrementally upping the neck volume to 10 with the playing getting more frantic until I reached the end at which point I wanted to select the neck pup again and wind the volume down to 1.5 for the final E major chord strum but in the excitement I only made it down to about 3 so the final chord isn't quite as clean as I was aiming for.
Practised it loads but this was the first and only recording I took.
Overall quite pleased with the feel of it but there are a couple of bits that could've been a bit neater.

The idea behind mine was to keep it pretty minimalist.
It's in the playlist. That makes 6 entries.
That makes 7.
That was a tricky one for me - and I'd tried a totally rich effected clean tone previously to try and use that - but I was killing myself with rerecording it, so I banged this out this morning instead - and I'm happier with it all round - phew - glad thats done!
1991 Hamer Centaura Custom Order (Solid figured Maple Body and SD Parallel Axis set (PATB-1, and 2x PATB STK) - Fractal FM3 on a Boosted Bogner Blue Model, with two IRs - one 4x12 GB, one 2x12 JC Combo), CE-2 Chorus Model, in to parallel stereo Tape Delay and Dual Detune Pitch - panned Land R hard across all of them, then finished off with Medium Plate reverb Model.
Bridge HB with about 30% treble rolled off on the guitar.
One thing on the track that was really hard in my brain is that it ends before resolving to the E.
so I decided to try something to imply the resolution at the end using the three note motif from earlier but with natural harmonics and slowly dive-bombshell the second one to point to the E and just decay….. you can hear the trem springs creaking - poor old thing
The FM3 IRs even on standard quality are great for the length of cab decay. This was a test of that and I was really impressed.
Happy to share any licks anyone is interested in

Very nice guitar, but did you have to prop it up on the sofa with your underpants under the headstock?
that’s actually my jumper a bit less grippy !

I once had a wound D-string snap. It went with such a bang that initially I thought the bridge had broken.
