Chris Bieniek: Ibanez AS200 - Arapaima




I was trying to think of a 'South American-esque' name for the this tune but fortunately the TV show 'River Monsters' aired recently featuring one of the Amazons biggest fish the Arapaima ( pronounced Ara - Pie - Ma).

The clip starts just before the solo section and the head of the tune starts at: 1:48

No Amp used. Just a virtual software amp called 'Guitar Amp' with guitar straight into protools rack for convenience.

The guitar used is an Ibanez AS200 ( same as Scofield uses) but with an EverTune bridge installed. The guitar was a real dog with tuning/ intonation before I had the EverTune bridge installed. You may have seen early videos with this guitar featuring a tuner on the head stock.

I used to have to tune up every few minutes just about but now I can record/ play all day without tuning once. I'm a big fan!
