my gosh!!!!!!!

that just took me to a different place altogether.
You really set a mood in this instrumental.
I'd say you hit all the right places emotionally on this.

I LOVED it.
 
My Critique

First off, I just have to say I admire your playing ability.

The general balance of things is fine although the solo guitar could use a little more high end. The EQ settings for it suggest it is a secondary lead part so your ears keep listening for a sax or some thing brighter to come in and take over.

Just my opinion of course. You are very close. I wish I could find someone local with your talent to play drums against such nice guitar work.
 
wow

Just sitting in a cafe listening to your songs. Yehaa. You really are an awsome guitar player. Just wanted to say great songs and great playing man. Cheers

Never heard your stuff before, but I got you bookmarked now! The guitar was clean, cutting and powerful. I REALLY admire your style of playing...........I also like Jeff Beck too, that may explain it. Gotta go listen to more now.

OK, I was mistaken...I have heard "Jack" before. You have a great sound, tell me about your equipment if you get a chance.

some fine guitar playing.. had to turn it up because the mix was very low.. nice jjjam.. it was loose and raw like you said.. the snare was loud..
 
Thats a fun tune man, I like the tone s you starting gettin after about 1:10 . The b an e strings squalled jus right..
 
Thanks to all for taking a listen!

Glad that you liked the tune...thanks for listening.

Yes, - the solos could be brighter. The first solo is a strat w/ a little amp overdrive, - i could have miked the amp closer for more highs: the second solo is an SG w/ high amp gain, and miked about 12" from the amp, so I lost lots of highs. I find that close miking a high-gain guitar sounds crap. Also, the amp had the same eq for both guitars, - could have changed that, right!

Thanks for listening...

Erland:

Thanks for listening..... I couldn't pull off those single guitar songs you record,- nothing to hide behind!

bdbdbuck:

Thanks for listening, ...equipment/settings....

...just basic recording DAW -and old 333 celeron, an old 16 bit M-audio card, a Joemeek VC3Q pre and a 'SM57.
....the amp is a Boogie DC-3, 1st solo is a strat (new MIA) and the second is my old '74 Sg custom, (in need of a refret).
Same eq on the amp for both solos, except I pushed the high gain (8) for the second one. I miked the strat at about 6" and the SG at about 12". Like I mentioned to TMIX, as the gain/overdrive goes up, I try to mike further away. I'm no expert, but close miked high-gain sounds like a buzz saw on my gear.
I used the Sg for the rhythm guitars, (there are two), -each panned alittle off center, and when done right, you can get a real full sound stage with a nice natural chorus. This is not a great example! I added a long delay which (I think) blends the guitars, and gives me a sort of keyboard feel - sustaining the chord without the attack.
I have dialed back the compressor big time these days (setting 2-3) I have abused it in the past (through ignorance) and with a 16 bit sound card - you can't do that!
The bass is a newer MIA P-bass w/ both P-J p/u's recorded direct with a little higher compression, - now I just have to practice! ...and finally the drums are midi shite, off the card wavetable...enough said

Thanks for listening...

B.SABBATH:

yes, the mix could have been higher, - there was a little more head room....the drums *are* midi crap -thanks!

Thanks for listening....

The tone at 1;10 is the strat middle position, - not my favorite position, but it works as a transition before I hit the bridge postion a little further on...

thanks for the ears!

Thanks all...this is a wrap!

More guitar instrumental stuff....everything is a bit loose and raw, - hope you get the idea.
It sounds a little boomy/muddy to me. The guitars are jumping out now and then. The second solo was more an exercise in tone /feedback. All comments welcome...

lifeless.

are you even listening to the rhythm track as you play?

i would say that you need to learn more scales.

i have also given up on discussing mix quality on this board because no one seems to get it right.
