Guitar Recording of the Day

This is a bit different. I somehow managed to get my crappy guitar down to drop-B tuning without totally spaghettifying the strings. This is the tuning used most often by Sevendust, and I've been wanting to play some of their songs for a long time, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I made two interesting discoveries:

1. Without a baritone guitar or a 7-string, this amount of downtuning is really awkward.

2. Sevendust songs are frickin' hard.

I settled on one of the only 7D riffs I can actually play, the rhythm guitar from "Praise," and did a rather incomplete cover of that song. Let me stress that this is not the same quality as the other songs I've posted (I only spent about half an hour on it). I just think the guitar sounds kind of cool tuned this low...although it's not too hard to hear it going out of tune in certain parts.

On another note, I had to craft a completely new custom tone in GarageBand to make this sound more authentic, and I ended up distorting the hell out of it with the "British Gain" amp model. It sounds pretty sweet.

Anyway, in case you're interested for some reason:
