zenmindbeginner Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 It appears it was dropped a day ago. It looks and sounds good... if youtube did anything to the audio or video, it was minimal. The clean guitar intro piece got a little more compressed but the rest of it sounds pretty close to the 24 bit uncompressed WAV file I handed youtube. I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out. The backing track sounds great. I think I am getting closer to the mixes I hear in my head... the cymbals are always a bitch and I think I tamed them enough to finally allow the resonance of the kit shine through. Sort of inspired by Tim Pierce for the solos... I copped a Tim Pierce lick from his Rick Springfield "Love Somebody" solo and Tim's slide solo from the Goo Goo Doll's "Iris" crept into my consciousness enough for me to play two slide solos in standard tuning. Hopefully y'all dig it and enjoy rocking out to some original music while looking at some filthy budget-guitar porn.
Dutchman Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Wow Zen!! You make that sound like a $5000.00 Custom Guitar!!! The video really makes the guitar look nice too!!! If Cort doesn’t like that video promoting their guitars they’re obviously looking at the world thru a layer of bowel tissue!! GREAT JOB!!!! P.S. I find myself stealing Tim Pierce licks all the time!! They’re just so tasty!!
Disturber Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 It sounds absolutely fantastic!! :-) Great sounding demo. And your playing is, as usual, both "Cort and spark"! Love it! Good work. Rick Springfield, who woulda thought. What pickups are in that guitar?
shankyboy Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Bravo! I don't know much about Cort guitars but the one you're playing looks pretty nice.

A fine guitarist like Zen can make anything sound great proving once again least IMHO it is the guy playing the guitar not the guitar..
gtrdaddy Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Great job Geoff! Tasteful playing as always, and the videography is fantastic, I love the perspective of the filming!

scottcald Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Great work as always, zen! Cort makes a lot of the overseas produced stuff for many manufacturers, including PRS. Seems like a good guitar for the cash.
svl Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Love it, Z. Another lesson in taste, artistry and virtuosity from one of my fave guitarists.
diablo175 Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Dood! Your playing always amazes and inspires me. Bravo! Great job!
Steve Haynie Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 If buying one of those Cort guitars will make me play like that sell me one now!
it's me HHB Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 sweet! Those look great whats the neck size?
polara Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 You do the shooting, too? Damn. They edit and do the post-production, titles? Love the black background and t shirt and strap. You focus entirely on the guitar and hands. You really know your lighting and lenses, sir. Thanks for being one of a handful of demo guys who plays not only some fast passages, but throws in some slower stuff, full chords, twang, slide. And you don't go go full ENGL saturated gain. Shocking! You actually let the sound of the guitar come out. Objectively, I think Cort did a fine job on the length and any edits. I know you felt it was at risk of being butchered, but from the point of a consumer, that was enough to get me excited about the guitar, and if anything was long. People zone out after 3:00, sad but true. Pretty cool guitar. Wish they finished the back and sides in blue too, or even black, but I like the idea and lack of strong trees, switching.
sixesandsevens Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Great job, as always Geoff! Congrats on another fine demo! I dug it so much I wanna ask what you thought of the guitar, but I don't wanna put you on the spot with regards to a customer.
sonic1974 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Sounds great! What kind of amp(s) were you using?
Bennyboy-UK Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Well, that’s the best guitar playing anyone is going to hear today! - you can play any/everything! ...and composed it? Aaaaand video and edited it? Formidable.
ArnieZ Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Demo was great, as usual! What do you think about the guitar? arniez
Jakeboy Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Crazy outstanding Zen! Great playing as usual ! You inspire me anytime I listen to you play. You really do. I particularly like one vibrato bar shake you did where the note trails off into Reverb. Just perfect. That Cort reminds me of the late 90s USA Peavey Limited series. Same KILLER pickup switch selections....you get buckers plus Strat and Tele tones. Plus the body is reminiscent of the Limited. Makes me wonder. Same faux binding too. Cort will sell a boatload of these thanks to you.
acb Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 You made the right decision. The video is outstanding. Your talent showcases the brand with respect.
