oh well, the half "virtual" way is a transducer feeding the soundcard, cubase, some Impulse response speaker sim, then into altiverb.
transducer -hmm. Have to look into that. The impulse response speaker sim is software also, right?
Bog .... i didn't figure out so much if you listen to what i did, i'd say it takes time and time and time, and especialy hear it, play along, get used to his tricks ( that he improvised ... wow ... ) . This is the way Randy hansen might have worked i guess.
I know I´m going way off topic here but the thread is old anyway - so why not:
Of course you didn´t play the whole machine gun - but you got some parts down quite good in my opinion
. I figured out half of "Trash Man" in about 2 to 3 days with the help of a youtube vid but then got stuck and haven´t continued since. Takes a lot more time to perfect it of course. I should definitely learn how to thoroughly write music and start to train my hearing - would probably make things a lot easier than memorizing everything.
I guess the way Randy Hansen learned Hendrix is the same way Hendrix figured out and altered songs from Muddy Waters and other old blues greats: by playing the record and trying to recreate what you hear, spending a LONG time doing that and being gifted on top.
It will never cease to amaze me to see old footage from Hendrix´live concerts where he counts the frets with his index finger to determine where to start. Then stopping, saying "oh - wrong count", counting again and then suddenly playing as if god himself reached down and touched him...
BTW: this guy does the best Hendrix covers I´ve seen so far:

"Nop Mendoza" is not his user name - it´s "retrolee09" - check him out, will blow your mind.
one spanish proverb says that it takes 10 years per string to learn the guitar ha ha
The Spanish know what they´re talking about! It took me a long time to realise how important hand positioning and picking technique really are - one needs experience to understand that and lots of practising.
yes, i'm quite satisfied with this attenuator, as you said it doesn't sound bad, even at a level that can even let me hear my laptop running ! ha ha.
I have no experience with attenuators actually but I´d say yours is a good one and you should hold on to it. At least it sounds good to my ears - which one is it btw? I have nearly all the parts for a 69 Superlead build stored in my wardrobe
. Chassis is the last thing missing and maybe I´ll try an attenuator with this one.
