I need to figure it out quick, and trial and error will take too long this time.

pretty sure that one note at the end of the bar is actually a synth and not a guitar. Otherwise it sounds rather common. I just don't see what sort of guitar technique you could use to get that particular sound as it certainly isn't harmonics and it doesn't sound like doubled octaves either.

If all you're talking about is that note at the end of the bar like M4B's talking about you just need high compression fuzz distortion and play 2 on the high E, 6 on the B, playing the F# a lot harder than the F to give it more emphasis.

Though I'm pretty sure it's a synth too, unless they're using some weird type of fuzz pedal but Linkin Park isn't exactly known for that kind of thing.

Edit: Using a Whammy pedal's bottom harmony function with the pedal down (2nd) and playing F# on the high E sounds similar to it too. It's the same thing as playing the two notes on their own but the pedal adds a bit of tone to the note that sounds a bit closer to the recording.

It's not the note at the end, it's just the layering combination and technique a lot of recent heavy rock/metal uses. Thick/distorted bass, double tracked guitars etc.

I'd usually mess about and figure it out, but I need this done by the 31st.

Similar deal in Rammsteins Sonne

downtune. Thick gauge strings , double track and really using something like Amplitube 3 is enough. The rest is just heavy EQ and compression

Hmm, downtuning is something i'd not thought of.

I'm thinking 4 guitar layers 100% and 80% left and right.

We'll see

Distorted bass also makes heavy, deep tones a hell of a lot easier.

Yeah I've had a quick mess around with bass distortion but only using quadrafuzz. I suspect I shall have to run it through guitar rig to get it anywhere near mashup enough.

I'm thinking for the compression i'll need to pull off the attack a bit to keep those crunchy transients.

I'll be lost without sidechaining to a kick too.

most bands that do that style of playing are using dropped C tuning. What guitar are you playing ?

I'm not, my initial demo is EEG Strawberry out of Kontakt. I have a Vintage V6 sitting here, but I'm only going to use that for spot chords and FX as I can't really play.

I have a guitarist who I'm collaborating with that who has all the gear and plenty of experience, but as i'll be the one 'producing' and mixing the track I need to know the ins and outs of the sound I'm trying to achieve (which will partially involve those cliched movie strings as well).

i'm more of a telecaster man. Just one other thing I'm rather great at. The latest prominy release has the drop C setting and has many guitars and could do the job but again, it is many many gigs.

I have the Fender Telecaster Plus and a later american tele that I moded with the guts of the VariAx. Its that guitar dsp thing that mimics all these guitar sounds. Sounds pretty phenomenal actually except for the sustain.
