This is the intro to a song I've been working on for the past couple days. The first phrase of the guitar solo sounds kinda weird to me but I'm not sure if it's my tired ears deceiving me or not.

Does it sound bad (meaning, should I change the guitar solo; especially the the first phrase) or is it just me?

(first phrase = 00:00 ~ 00:04)

You know how it is when you've heard something too many times.

Thanks a lot.

Sounds very good to me too, Dammit where's the rest don't tease me like this! :)
 
the drum start sounds like a re-introduction instead of an introduction, if that makes any sense...(like something that would come in after a break or chorus instead of a start off....)...the tune is clean and cool and makes me wanna hear more...gibs
 
Sounds great,

I agree with Gibs, maybe add a beat or two more to the very beginning, I have the same problem with song beginnings, it's hard to decide what to do.
 
Thanks everyone for the replies.

I think it's the guitar that makes it sound un-intro-ish. Without the guitar solo bit it sounds fine but a little empty. I think I'm gonna take out the solo and put in something else.

Thanks again.

Are you sure kind sir? please think about it a little more I really dig it alot!
 
I would change the little drum riff the a flam, then make the solo 8 measures. 16 measures left me disinterested in a way. Just too much foof before the vocal starts. If you can edit, try making the intro 8 measures and make a solo fit that. This would allow you enough time to phrase a cohesive solo, but not so long that it sounds like a jam session. You will have a winner then... :D

Shorter is better...how many times have you ever heard anybody say that....the drum start still feels/sounds wrong to me, but hey, opinions are like assholes..everybody's got one....gibs :D
 
OK, I didn't throw out the guitar solo, I changed one note in the first phrase to a chord tone and now I think it sounds better.

sonusman: I made it shorter! At first I didn't think it would be necessary but I thought I'd try it just to see and it turned out great. Thanks for the advice. I didn't cut it in half the way you suggested (16 bars down to 8 bars) but I did cut out the last 2. (Thank God for cut and paste.)

As for the snare bit in the very begining, I'm still thinking. But here's the revision: shortened with fixed guitar solo.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I didn't get to hear the first version, but man what a tease! sounds great!

-jhe
 
I too didn't get here in time for the first version ... but I do like the 2nd a lot.
I'd like to hear the full version. :)
 
gibs: I'll work on that snare bit next, not really sure what I'll do yet but I'll try think of something. This song is really killing me. It's one of those ones where the more you work on it the more crappy it seems to you.

I'll let you guys know when I've got something new.

Thanks,
Lip
 
I know I'm a little late on this post, but, MrLip... I gotta hear the rest of it man. Sounds great! I keep playing that little bit over and over and ov.......
