Hi everybody,

I was just jamming the other night and recorded this piece of music in 1 take. The backingtrack is by a friend of mine. I play the lead guitar. It's NOT a song. More like a try-out demo, mainly for the lead guitar sound. Tell me what you think of the sound and if you wheter or not you like the song so far. It ends abruptly because I wasn't allowed to play any more guitar (too late at night....angry parents :d). Mixing might not be optimal but I think it's reasonable. I mean both parts are quite good in the mix, or at least I think so....haha
I note on the creative side...it hasn't got a theme or something like that, so after a while you might get bored, but nevertheless you can tell me if you like my jamming skills :)
The backing track was an excellent job by a friend of mine..check his website :

Guitar was recorded completly dry. Used the direct out of my tube amp at quite a low volume actually, so no mic was used. Effects where added in Cubase SX. Delay and reverb and compression where used as you might have guessed :D
I was trying to get a petrucci like tone.

Please tell me what you think and wheter you like it or not.

I totally dig the guitar tone! I'm a major Dream Theater fan myself, and you have a pretty similar tone to Petrucci, very close, but not quite there yet. The backing track is really awesome, I really like those etherial sounds. Also very tastful guitar playing too!
 
Thanks for the reply Nik D.

Yeah, the tone could be more 'defined', but I'm working on it

I liked it...and you didn't try to be the "shredmaster" with your choice of soloing... it came out nice.

I'd take a little more dominance with the gtr...both in volume and "in your face" kinda sound. Maybe just a tad less reverb, but keep the delay kinda sound.

great backdrop too. Get the parents to listen to this. They gotta be tone deaf if they can't appreciate your talent.
 
Tasteful playing there Ivo.I echo Mixmkr's comments about the guitar needing to be more out front and in your face....it could use a little more defintion EQ wise to place it where it needs to be.....you should treat the guitar as you would a lead vocal.The guitar is the voice of this tune...it's just a little too far back in the mix and undefined.....very good playing.......nice rhytmic background.......it abruptly ends......you should do a quick fade before it ends like that.

Nice melodic tune.
 
It's not working for me.....I'm just getting a blank screen




wait............ok there it is.........
Nice guitar man............needs to come up in the mix............
nice backing tracks..............

well...........you mainly want to know about your chops so I have to say they're good. A nice tone ( a little too compressed for my taste but that's just me) and nice playing.
 
Thanks for the kind replys!!

Let you know when I've got something else, currently working on a new track should be good stuff :D
