Mix;

You always do excellent work. This intro is no exception. The mix on it sounds great. The geetaring is good.

What I have been working on is trying to make a tune sound Live. To make it sound real instead of perfect. Because to me, that is what music is all about. It lives, and it comes form human beings so it can't be perfect.

Too bad ya don't like the Blues, Bro! It sounds like ya have a bad case of em. And besides, you need to learn that third chord to play em! ;) At least most of the time anyway.

Dont sweat it man!I've been in a rut for years now.:DIf you find a way out of it please send me a PM.:eek:
 
It could be worse:

You could end up like a good friend of mine who has tons of good ideas and no time to do anything about it.

Me, I don't write much. I do have some gear and time though.:eek: I tend to go through phases of playing a lot and playing nothing. Right now I'm in a nothing phase, and have been for a couple years. Lately I've been thinking about playing out again though. The last band I was in pretty much burned me out. Too much gigging for too little money and people who don't give a shit.

I will never give it up though! It means too much to me. Just need to take a break sometimes even if it's a long one.;)

BTW other than that over-processed guitar tone I thought that clip was cool.:)
 
mix... that toon of yours is a good intro... 80's hair-metal-- uh, the good kind. This could work with a second lead guitar over it... in contrast to it. A "Journey" or "Styx" feel... not bad.

You could always do another Samicide cover... get the juices goin again. Your version of "What A Difference a Day Makes"... brings a big smile every time you sing "I still wake up in the same f*ckeeen place!" :D

Chord changes? Just do some weird sh*t & try to make it work... I, VI, II, IV... weird stuff... change time signatures... do the wacky tobaccky... whatever...
 
Hey Mix..........

.......very nice tune man. There's a million places to go with this. ....You'll find the one.
....All of this introspective shit..... its just a lot more simple than that. ....keep playin and occasionally you'll stumble upon the reason that you love doing it. .....and occasionally you'll fall into the hole that reminds you of how much work it is...

.....its worth it..... .......you know that.

....btw: I think some vocs would enlighten you..... and give some of your great tunes identity. Warm up those V.chords man..... if you absolutely dont wanna do it, farm it out. I would be among the group of guys in here that would be happy to maul one of your tunes:D .

Sounds pretty good to me Mix.

If your in a rut,do a cover!
Take a nice quite acoustic song and Rooock it up!
That could be fun!

Or write one about about your dog.
I can tell he inspires you.;)

Good luck bro,hope to hear more soon!

Have a great New Year too!

Pete
